Like most people, when we got a 3D TV we were really excited and we imagined that from then on, almost everything we watched would be in amazing 3D. However, our (then) new (Panasonic Plasma - which shows how long ago we bought these glasses) TV didn't actually come with any glasses so we were itching to get some to revel in this amazing technology.Official Panasonic glasses were very expensive indeed at the time, in fact ridiculously so. I did buy one pair that I thought I'd got a good deal on from an auction site (secondhand), but I needed two more pairs so we could all enjoy 3D together. The reviews on here led me to these.These glasses are really excellent.

These were the glasses supplied with our F8000 TV. They work very well and I quickly ordered another two pairs for the family.They come very well protected, with transparent plastic covers for the front and back of each lens. They are easily removed by way of the tabs attached. The implication is that the lenses can be scratched, so I have taken to putting the glasses back into the bags supplied when not in use.The glasses take coin batteries: easy to install. There is a small (rather fiddly but it works) press button switch on the top to turn them on. Have your 3D source running before switching on as they need to synchronise with the TV.If you are wearing the glasses when you switch on you will see them cut in by virtue of an apparent reduction in the ambient light of the room.

Brilliant, it was a choice of buying generic Active 3D glasses or these and decided to go for a brand name. Yes, the arms are a bit 'delicate' but probably the same on most 3D glasses, just take a bit of care putting them on & off and I use an old shoe box to store 4 pairs (use foam or bubble wrap for padding) and I always remove the batteries for when not in use.Any hassle? Nope, just paired them up with my Sony 50" (807C)...just in case, you know to pair them within 10cm of the TV? and a pop-up message appears to confirm connection and after that, no problems watching films such as Avatar (has to be the first film and still fantastic). The only downside is that the picture is very very slightly darkened (just minimal),

DELIVERYThis item, ordered through prime, arrived promptly and when needed. Unfortunately, at some point either during delivery or possibly before the box that housed the glasses had been crushed. Luckily the product was in tact but still it did not seem all that professional and could have been worse so maybe better packaging is needed.BUILD QUALITY & COMFORTThese glasses are made from very thin plastic and at first glance don’t appear to be well made. They almost look the kind of quality you would expect from a throw away pair of passive 3D glasses.However, the reason for this quickly becomes apparent as soon as you put them on your face.

I bought 2 of these glasses to use with my Epson EH-TW6100 projector. I worried a bit if it will work but it does just great.- The glasses get paired with the PJ instantly (probably even faster than Epson's own glasses that go with the PJ). So I really believe they should work with any device that is marked with FullHD 3D RF (I'm not responsible if it does not work for you though :))- 3D picture quality is perfect, the same as with the original glasses.- I can put them on top of my ordinary spectacles and feel pretty comfortable. In fact I virtually don't feel them.- The price is really awesome.2 things that could be better though and this is why I prefer Epson's glasses and this is why I would recommend these Samsung glasses mainly for guests:- The glasses are very open on sides.

Having recently purchased a 32" Samsung 3d TV, I made sure to purchase these glasses at the same time (I was very much aware that Samsung do not include the glasses with any TV under 40") I was lucky to find these in the warehouse deals section, meaning I wouldn't have to pay full price for something that, in all honesty should have come in the box. I realise however that this is Samsung's fault and is no reflection on Amazon.The glasses themselves work well, battery installation is a little fiddly but easy enough once you have done it the first time. They pair with the TV well and the actual 3D picture is very good.Few little niggles, they tend to get quite grubby and are difficult to clean.

These glasses do the job for those of us with discontinued TVs that support them, but they're likely to break in a light breeze due to the poorly thought through connection between the lens frame and the detachable arms.I've had four pairs in the past, and they've all broken at the arm/frame connection. They're super light, very comfortable, and wrap around your temples without pinching or squeezing - which is useful for frames that don't have foldable arms and are built as one-size-fits-all. But in doing so, the arms flex every time you put them on, and you don't need to be an engineer to realise that the stress point is the flimsy clip that holds the arms to the frames.These are massively overpriced at RRP considering this fundamental design floor.

Work perfectly with my SONY KDL43W807CSU ( android W80C ) tv, which is just as well as the sony glasses are almost 5x more expensive and not available anyway. They are light and easy to use - just play some 3D content - press and hold the button for a couple of seconds to pair. There is no interface as such for pairing on the sony tv - its all kinda automatic. After that just press once to turn on or off, the light goes green when it comes on - red when it goes off. No idea about battery life as I've only watched one movie so far. They don't fold up or have any carry case - but they are only £11 quid each. they do come well packed - the arms just snap in, the lenses have protectors on you have to remove to watch with.

In the past I thought stick with LG as don't get me wrong their products are wonderful I have a Plasma 3D smart TV 50'' and its brilliant and a Phillips 3D blu ray player but when I had the 3D glasses for the LG and they are not cheep the 3D wasn't that good so I took a risk and got these and trust me you will not be disappointed in them.When I had the LG glasses they were good but I found that watching a movie with them that after charging them all night they would last one movie and that was it. These on there other hand have a battery in them and I got some battery's for them 12 for £2.99 and I have watched a few 3D things and they haven't needed a new battery as yet.The 3D is wonderful I

I bought two pairs of glasses for use with my new 50in LG Smart 3D TV. Despite being a Samsung product there was no problem linking then with my LG and they work perfectly. Press the on button whilst within a few feet of the TV and they pair up almost immediately.They are not rechargeable but run on inexpensive and easy to find button batteries. They are light and reasonably comfortable to wear. Battery life seems good and after watching several feature length films we are still on the original batteries.A slight criticism is that they are fully open at the sides and even in a low lit room this does let in some distracting light hence only 4 stars. At this price though, it is difficult to be too critical.

I got these type of glasses with my latest tv purchase and was very pleased with them straight away.Luckily as I already knew what type I wanted it meant no looking around trying to find the best ones that work with my tv.These glasses are very light as the battery is on the front above the nose bridge and I've worn these quite a lot without any discomfort. They sync up to the tv very easily with the press of the little button on the front and turn off when 3d is turned off so no having to turn each one off individually. My son has worn them and he doesn't have any issues with them either.The price on amazon is the cheapest around the whole www for this type and my friends who also have 3d tells say they think that these are better then the rechargeable ones they have.

I live with my daughter so both are being used. Both are still as good as new and the batteries that came with the glasses have allowed us to watch Wrath Of The Titans 3D, Dredd 3D and Jumper 3D without them needing to be changed for the spare Duracell i bought to accompany them. My Samsung H6200 says the battery is dead (The telly first saw them as fully charged and green.) but the glasses still work perfect. If the battery level on the telly is accurate then these batteries should have ran out by the time we finished watching Dredd because since the end of that film it has said that both batteries are dead.

Operation of these active 3D glasses is simple, pair with the TV and they sync with the 3D display very quickly. I found them to be stable, very light for active glasses which produce an effective 3D display. switching on the glasses requires one push of the switch on the top of the glasses, you see the led light green for a short period of time, if not the glasses need re-pairing which requires the switch to be held down close to the TV until the TV reports that pairing is complete, the TV display also reports the condition of the 3D glasses battery. To switch the glasses off, which is recommended to preserve battery life requires one push of the switch the led lights up red for a short period of time.

These are exactly the same as the glasses that come with the original Samsung TV.Given that, they are a perfect match and you're getting exactly what you're expecting.I've not compared them to other makes, but the design isn't perfect though.The fixed arms are an irritation, as it makes storage awkward. You can't easily disassemble them either as they are 'snap-in' items.They sit quite a way off your face, possibly to accommodate spectacle wearers, which isn't a problem per-se, but does feel 'wrong' if you're expecting them to be a bit like sunglasses. Which they are to a degree.The battery life isn't fabulous either. Watch a couple of films and you can lose what looks like 20-30% from the battery icon on the screen.

We received two pairs of these glasses with our TV when we bought it so bought these identical ones when we needed a spare. They work very well and are comfortable to wear over my glasses. I cannot fault their function and quality but if I needed a pair to wear without them having to go over glasses, I might consider a different design because these are not comfortable for my son to wear and we can't find any in a child's size that are compatible with our tv. A different, more conventional glasses shaped pair might be preferable for a child to wear if they have to wear adult sized glasses. My son is 4 and will not watch 3D films because these glasses are so uncomfortble for him.
