Actually i disagree with this article to a extent. I bought a pair of glassses from frys electronics which are called “Revia 3d glasses” they are compatible with samsung, sony, and panasonic. I tried both glasses at the store apples to apples on both the samsung ansd sony tv and there was absoluetly no difference whatsoever. The colors and 3d images were just as vibrant and didnt notice any difference at all. Additionally for the price of 80 a pair the revia glasses are also usb

How is a slightly off tint incompatible? It isn’t. All you have to do is calibrate your tv to fit the glasses tint. At least you could use them at a friends house even if their tv is calibrated differently.

Incompatible 3d glasses and failure to support older 3d Tv’s (Samsung) are really leaving a foul taste in my mouth. I was all ready to jump on the 3d bandwagon. The industry’s gotta stop playing these stupid games or 3d will be DOA.

“When displaying stereoscopic content, Samsung, Sony and Panasonic 3D TVs automatically compensate for the 3D glassesÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ filter characteristics.”

So how is one supposed to calibrate such displays?

To get the most impressive 3D experience we need a BIG screen, certainly not 40 inches. I’d want 60″ for a flat panel and 100 plus inches for a front projector.
Since brightness is reduced significantly a high gain screen is essential, such as the Da-lite 2.6 High Power.
