Product Description

These are high quality plastic framed glasses with hard lenses (not cardboard). The lenses are RED & CYAN color and are for use with the home 3D version of the home DVD Polar Express or any other 3D DVDs that require RED/CYAN lenses (such as Hannah Montanah).

These glasses will NOT work in the movie theaters nor with movies that require magenta/green lenses. The DVD must be the "3D" version.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable but not for all 3D, March 27, 2009

I like this glasses. It is much better than paper 3D glasses. The bad thing is : it doesn't work for Journey To The Center of The Earth 3D! (which is the reason I bought this glasses). The movie has green and red color when you watch with or without this glasses.

This glasses work for watching Lava Girl and Spy Kid2 3 D tough.

although it doesn't say anywhere in the description, these are 3D glasses for KIDS. they are smaller than average and clearly NOT for adults unless you have a tiny head.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works with Nvidia 3d Vision Discover, February 17, 2010

Bought this triple pack in order to try out Nvidia's low cost 3d vision discover. Certainly took some amount of time to get used to the effect. Aside from the somewhat dorkiness of the glasses (look more like 1970's glass than modern shades), they work very well. I've been playing Resident Evil (4 & 5), Left 4 Dead (1 & 2), and few other games in 3d vision and it's an amazing and immersive effect.

There are some downsides to the effect:
1. Desaturation: Most colors are still noticeable, but there is clearly alot of lost of color, due to the filters.
2. Ghosting: Because you can always still see some degree of the other eye's color in each eye, ghosting is very noticeable this way.

These are both inherent to the effect, and not the glasses however. I can't compare them to other red/cyan glasses, since the last pair I used was in 1998 with red/blue (which really messed with the visible color spectrum). The work great once you get used to them though.

I would not recommend these for long periods of time however. After about 2 hours, my brain is usually in melt down. Great glasses themselves though.
