Sony TDG-BR250 3D Active Shutter Glasses - Black

I found it hassle free to start using these 3D glasses even if I had zero previous experience in home 3D. It makes comparing it to other alternatives impossible so I will just give it my personal opinion as a newby here.Glasses are quite massive in comparison with prescription or IMAX 3G glasses but this was expected. After taking them from packaging I let them charge till full (the amber light went off) and it only took 20 minutes for it. Next step was to start Resistance 3 (one of the few titles I have that support 3D), press power button on glasses, enable 3D support in game option and here I go. I'm using Sony Bravia KDL55EX720 that came with automatic 3D source detection turned on so there was no need to go and change any setting on TV.I must say that you need to get used to it or it might be my personal issue (one of my glasses is quite weaker then the other). It was different from Cinema 3D in that it required for me to "work" to get a proper feeling for the depth. After that if was flawless. I didn'nt notice any artifacts or rainbowing, etc. The only downside is that picture in 3D is a lot darker so I need to crank backlight brightness a lot. And then set it back for non 3D... And again...The bottom line is that I am happy with the whole experience and might consider buying a second pair. The only annoyance with picture brightness might not be that big of a deal for other TV model.

I bought a Sony KDL40EX723BU from Amazon at a bargain £499 earlier this summer and have just decided to buy 2 sets of these glasses to be able to use the 3D feature on my TV. The effect is simply stunning, i cant recommend these highly enough. I changed my Sky HD subscription just last night so we could get access to the 3D content and its well worth the extra £8 per month they are charging me for SKY 3D and the movie pack. The Sony KDL40EX723BU TV is situated on our bedroom wall but i'm that impressed at the 3D effect i'm thinking of changing it with the TV downstairs in the lounge and ordering another 2 pairs of these for our 2 kids, the 2 of them have now taken over our bedroom! The 3D effect is similar to Imax at the cinema which is incredible in the home. Highly recommended!

For the price paid these were worth buying. I bought a Sony HD TV system for the digital change over. The glasses were at the full price then (~ £100 ish). I only wanted to try 3D on this system (I'm not a TV/film buff) so didn't buy them. I've waited ~1yr 'till now. Decided to have a go as the price was much better. My 3D experience..........Some people see good 3D effects and some don't i gather. I think you need decent eye sight. I'd expect younger people to get the most from it. At an older age (me...) with lessening eye sight it's less easy to see 3D. I noticed i got better effects after retuning the picture. My TV does simulated 3D on any standard programme but this isn't very impressive. Specially made films or programmes give better effects. Some films, etc. come over better than others. I think the quality of the equipment and techniques used has a big effect. I tried a Harry Potter BlueRay and got poor 3D effects for me. It was a dark and bleak film right through. When viewing bright and colourfull programs i got stronger, better 3D effects. Some of the Sony demo 3D short films really did have objects floating in front of the TV.The glasses weren't too heavy or awkward to wear, even with glasses underneath. Not sure about their durability and can't see anyway of getting the battery out when it dies. It looks sealed in. I'm not keen on just binning them and buying another pair.3D's still more of a gimmick i'd say. The pictures 'ghost' (a commmon feature across all current makes) giving a less defined viewing experience.Apparently 'no glasses' 3D is on its way though.So, for the price it was worth doing, but at the full retail price i'd be less impressed.

I think I paid £28 and I think that was fine. The effects are interesting and technically it is easy to set up on a PS3 and a sony 40hx723 just plug it all together. My LG bd650 advertised as "3D ready" bluray player said it couldnt play the disc, but hey life is short... The results are initially impressive but not enough to see me wearing specs to watch TV. Maybe films will improve but my conclusion is that I dont see life in 3d - or not like in a 3d film!

Good product and cheaper on Amazon than from the Sony Centre, where I made my original purchase. I only had one pair of glasses which came with my Vaio Sony Bravia Laptop. They take a new battery each time they run out of power. These new ones worked as they should and only take a few minutes to charge. I would recommend this product as they are cheaper to buy and cheap to run, with no difference in performance. They are quite comfortable as well.

Bought these as our first ever 3d glasses to go with our new Sony tv and they are great. My only criticism would be that they do start to feel heavy after a couple of hours so if i was going to spend more money i would go for the lighter ones. I am a glasses wearer and they fit fine on top of my glasses fine (this could also be a factor in me feeling the weight of them after a movie but its nothing major and for the price i paid they are amazing. I would price these at around £30, if you can get them for that price or under your getting a good deal. If your going to pay more than that i would look for something a little lighter and less bulky. These charge up very quickly and have never run out on us when watching a film. Overall excellent glasses for a fab 3d experience.
