Here's something that I think hasn't been in other reviews - The old give-away white paper 3D glasses use material similar to lighting gels (search for "theatrical lighting gels"). These are very light and thin. Some people will see less "ghosting" because the difference between the amount of light getting through each lens is pretty small, because both gels are so transparent. They are flimsy, though, and hard to store, easy to tear, and the lenses themselves are often (to me) not big enough, and don't cover all my vision.

The plastic frame 3D glasses (like Gems and Proview) often have rigid lenses, are sturdier, and are more comfortable to wear. The lenses are almost always larger, compared to the size of my eyes, than the paper glasses. Covering more of my vision with the lens makes it more immersive.

The rigid lenses are thicker and less transparent than the gels. The problem is not COLOR matching, but transparency, the amount of light getting through. The difference between the red and blue (red and cyan) is much bigger, and the red lens is probably darker. Not much to do about this, except recalibrate your color, brightness, and contrast settings when you change the brand of glasses you use.

The paper ones were hurting my ears, and the lens part on those were usually too small for me, where I could see the carboard around the edges. With these, they're very comfortable, and now I don't have any lines/edges around what I'm viewing. They do the job and do it well, especially for the price.

I bought these glasses for my 5 yr. old son... Excellent product quality, very comfortable to wear for my son and over my prescription glasses! Definitly would buy again.

The green and magenta glasses work well with YouTube and Stereoscopic Player. The red and blue pair doesn't work though. The red side is too dark. I tried in a dark room with the screen brightness all the way up, and it was still bad. 4 of 5 stars for green/magenta, 2 of 5 for red/blue.. Build quality is excellent for the price.

Not something I would buy again. Only got half the order.Two not the four I ordered. But I must say Amazon fixed that part by getting me a 60% refund. Go AMAZON !!!!!

Got these fast and they worked as they are supposed to. Keep in mind the distance you are from the tv can affect of you can see the 3D or not so if you have problems try move back farther. Tested both cyan and green and red blue and they both worked good. I would recomend these as an alternative to the cardboard glasses.

Two out of the Four 3-d glasses came with problem, but the seller sent me 2 perfect replacements right away without me shipping back the 2 problem glasses. Thank you.

I bought 3D Glasses from this seller because I wanted to watch videos and play 3D enabled video games in anaglyph 3D. I read other reviews and wanted to buy them because they were made of plastic and not the uncomfortable cardboard kind. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for affordable 3D glasses.

Great deal...glasses are pretty well made for the price. So much better than the paper!

While these glasses are certainly more comfortable than the paper ones, they're not necessarily better. I tried these with Coraline and an old copy of Halloween 3D, and was much happier with the results I got from the flimsy cardboard pack-ins. The cross-talk image ghosting is *really* pronounced with these new glasses, no matter if I'm watching on a projector, LCD computer screen, or CRT television. I think part of the problem with the cyan/red glasses may be that Halloween 3D was really meant for blue/red, but it sure seems like at least Coraline would be a good match with the magenta/green since it's a somewhat new color coding. Ah well, not a terribly huge investment, and like I said, they sure are comfortable.
