3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have:

		A Display The first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect.
		A Source While your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3.
		Content In order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience.
		3D Glasses All 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV.
		HDMI Cable To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

This review is from: LG AG-S100 3D Active Shutter Glasses for 2010 LG 3D HDTVs (Electronics)

Got 4 of these with the LG LX6500 Combo Package.

The quality of the glasses are top notch. They are definitely not like the flimsy glasses from the theater. THEY ARE ACTIVE SHUTTER. (That means little magical creatures inside each lens opens and closes the blinds so fast that the naked eye cant see it happening! And they have to do this opposite from each other! that must be why they're so expensive. Well sorta...)
They paired well with the 47LX6500. I have only watched free Comcast 3D movies and noticed a little ghosting, although very minor. This is probably attributed to the quality of the programming. I have yet to buy a 3D bluray so I haven't had a chance to test the glasses in that way. The 3D effect should improve with the quality of the media. Also, ambient lighting is sometimes an issue.

One thing to note is that these only come with USB Charging cables. This is mainly a problem for me since I don't have 4 USB wall chargers handy. I have to either use my single iphone charging cube or plug them into my computer. 4 of them... (Could be worse I guess; could have only come with 1 USB charging cable for all 4)

The price is expensive for the 3D experience. I probably would have sacrificed 3D if not for this great combo deal. The price of active shutter glasses will probably be something that will prevent 3D from becoming more mainstream, for now. Would people buy this experience for their family at ~ $100 - $200 a pop?

Would have given 5 stars if not for the MSRP price (1/2 star) and the USB cables (another 1/2 star).

This review is from: LG AG-S100 3D Active Shutter Glasses for 2010 LG 3D HDTVs (Electronics)

Not much to say about these, they're just 3D glasses. They're not meant to be stylish, just functional.

So, as far as the function goes, I think they could maybe be a little bigger. I guess I have a wide head? (I wear a 7 1/2" fitted baseball cap.) However, I find if I put some of my hair between the arms and my head, it greatly improves the comfort.

Also, my glasses seem to "hiccup" and drop the signal from the TV for an instant once every half-hour or so.

Otherwise, they appear to do their job just fine!

Oh: and, while writing this, I realized that it might be a good idea to try these out over my prescription glasses (as I wear contacts most all the time). They fit fine over my prescription glasses.

That is all!

This review is from: LG AG-S100 3D Active Shutter Glasses for 2010 LG 3D HDTVs (Electronics)

I bought these for a home theater installation. They work great. I don't know how reliable they are, I only used them a few times. They worked great with the LG TV I bought. The 3D effect is really coo but you look like a dork wearing them.

The thing that annoyed me is the charging, You have to open this microscopic plastic door and plug in this little USB cable (a special proprietary one? I didn't recognize it as the mini USB or newer micro USB). I bought three pairs of these glasses. Where do you keep all the USB cables and where do you get USB ports near your home theater? Hey LG how about a charging cradle? I just spent $3000 on a television why do I have to fiddle with ugly wires and little plastic doors?

I went and bought a USB hub so all the glasses could charge at once, but it looks like spaghetti in the cabinet. I guess its the price you pay for awesome 3D in your living room.
