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 DisplayThe 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 SourceWhile 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. |
| | ||
 |  | ContentIn 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 GlassesAll 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 CableTo 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. |
The Samsung 3D stater kit allows you and a friend to experience true Samsung 3D entertainment.

Product Description
Samsung’s new 3D Active Glasses are the gateway to Samsung 3D entertainment. Impressive both in how they function and in what they allow you to experience, the technology works as follows: When you put them on and look at the screen, the technology first blocks the left and then the right lens. It happens faster than the blink of an eye – so your eye won’t notice it. But when images are shown to each eye separately this “staggered” effect achieves far more lifelike 3D images.

Hey I purchased the entire setup, the 55 inch Samsung 3D tv, the glasses 5 pair and the dvd starter kit. I played the movie perfect out of the box. In 2D mode made some changes went back to 3D and got the crosstalk that is being mentioned in earlier post. Best Buys setup did not have it. Geek squad not familiar enough with it when they came to the house. I played with the settings with the bluray 3D player on went into the controls for the 3D setting (that only can be adjusted when 3D player is on and running) go into tv menu and under the 3D setting very last option that is blanked out unless 3D player is running is the box (3D Optimize) some are set to 0 some are plus 1. I set mine to -1 and picture cleared right up. 3D optimize when at 0 or +1 I got ghosting or cross talk. Set to -1 and picture calibrated fine. I am not sure what changed this or maybe I made the change when I was adjusting settings earlier. It only shows to allow changes when the 3D player is running. Player, TV and glasses work great. Samsung should put out a quick book on the settings for 3D this to me was important. None of the other settings and adjustments worked and not until I turned on 3D player and looked it all over did I find this adjustment and make the change. Great TV, now we need more movies!

I just purchased this item along with a Samsung UN55C7000 and a Samsung BD-C6900. Let me just say, it's amazing. It came with a free movie, Monsters vs Aliens. The movie looks amazing on the TV.
The glasses didn't need any pairing or calibration as some people claim that it needs. It's just as simple as turning on the glasses. The 3D quality is top notch, however I've experienced a few 'glitches' so far. During different parts of the movie, I'll notice a 3D shadow of whatever item is on the screen. For example, in the beginning of the movie there is a church in a scene. The image of the church felt like as if the glasses weren't working correctly. The 3D was working, but it felt like it wasn't a clear 3D picture. Let me try to explain it a little different. You know when you have a 3D movie on the screen without the glasses? How you can see a blur of an image all together for each eye? When you put on the glasses, that image becomes one right? Well, imagine that image not coming together 100%. Having an "edge" of a blur and that's the issue I'm experiencing.
I've tried the other set of glasses only to have the same outcome. I've called Samsung to troubleshoot my issue and considering it's a new product, they said they have to call me back in 24-48 hours to see what's wrong. Oddly enough, I went to a local Best Buy and tried the exact same setup, except this time using the Rechargeable Samsung glasses, rather than the battery operated ones I have. I didn't experience the same issue. I've tried shifting settings around on both the TV and the Bluray player and have yet to get a fix for it. I'll update this post as more information comes.

Amazon Verified Purchase
Foreward: So you've taken the plunge and bought yourself a Samsung 3D HDTV and a 3D Blu-Ray player and now you want to test them out. You still need glasses and a movie. Samsung's got your back with this starter kit, currently free if you buy it along side the TV and a Samsung player (BD-C6900). It includes two pairs of the battery-powered glasses, adult-sized, and the 3D Blu-Ray of "Monsters vs Aliens". Please note that the glasses are only compatible with Samsung's 3D TVs, so if your TV is a different brand (or not 3D), you will not be able to use them.
Form: Much to my surprise, the glasses are rather comfortable, enough at least for a full movie. They have some heft, but don't feel heavy when worn. They fit well enough over eyeglasses and neither I nor my guinea pig had any real discomfort or headaches after a 90 minute 3D session. Their plastic casing feels sturdy, but the lenses are likely to break from a high fall. Neither portion feels strong enough to withstand accidentally sitting on them, so use caution when setting them down.
Function: The glasses work as well as they are supposed to. If there is ambient light in the viewing area, you may notice it flickering, however that should not affect the TV image any. The battery lasts for about a month of casual usage, but can get expensive to replace. The CR2025 button cell is at least common and will probably set you back $3-6 for a pair. That's certainly not ridiculous, but it can get annoying as these aren't as ubiquitous as AA/AAA and generally aren't found laying around the house should a quick replacement be needed. There is no automatic shut-off as far as I can tell, so you need to take care to power them off after use to prevent needless battery drain.
Film: I don't personally own the 2D Blu-Ray of this film, but I did find myself looking up the details of it after popping this 3D version in my player. There were two notable omissions: special features and lossless audio. Included are two trailers and the supplemental short "B.O.B.'s Big Break", all in 3D, while the deleted scenes, commentaries, making of featurettes, and games were stripped out. The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio has een replaced with a plain Dolby Digital 5.1 track. That aside, the movie is highly entertaining and uses 3D effects extensively and makes a great showpiece for the resurgent technology. There are a couple of gratuitous 3D gimmick shots (paddle ball being hit towards the audience), but such is the price we must pay for now.
Frugality (Value): While the Starter Kit is currently included for free in a component bundle, it carries a retail price of $350. Battery powered glasses by themselves list at $150, so you are paying an extra $50 for the movie. MvA 3D is not available seperately, so that might have some sway on the premium. Comparing it to the only retail Blu-Ray 3D on the market, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 3D is only $35. If the kit included rechargeable glasses or a second movie, it might be worth the full price, but at $350, it is a very hard sell. For free, though, this is a no brainer.
Final words: Samsung made the executive decision to not include glasses with their 3D televisions, probably to keep prices low. Their 3D Starter Kit, free for most people buying one of their 3D sets, is the easiest way to get 3D content viewable currently available. When purchased with the TV and Blu-ray player (and cables if you don't have them), it provides the last pieces needed. If you have to pay for it, I'd recommend buying things seperately, and look into the rechargeable glasses, unless you really want the movie. Chances are that MvA will get a standalone release soon enough, hopefully with lossless audio and bonus features intact.

Work great, and energy saving shut off...
These work so well, but you have to push a teeny red button to turn them on. They auto shut off when 3d goes off, so remember to turn them back on. Read more
