Samsung SSG-3100GB 3D Active Glasses - Black (Only Compatible with 2011 3D TVs)

These glasses are really great! These are for the 2011 and up model Samsung TV's. They are very comfortable and will even fit right over your glasses. My 4 year old daughter even wears them without a complaint. So they do really fit everyone. They are lightweight and the battery life is great. Generally I get about 70 hours out of a pair. I buy a 10 pack of replaceable batteries for a couple dollars and they will last me a year or more.Its nice that they have upgraded these to bluetooth. Now you can go anywhere within a decent range and they will still work. They work right out of the box. All you have to do is load up a battery. They are only compatible with the current Samsung TV's. Although every manufacturer makes their own glasses and generally none are compatible with each other. I believe the active shutter glasses are much better for "3D" than the passive technology. But that seems to be a choice among manufacturers. Sure the passive glasses are cheaper but personally I don't think the 3D effect is as awesome. However the only experience I have had with passive glasses is watching the TV's at my local best buy so take my opinion with a grain of salt.I am very happy with these glasses and they make 3D movies look wonderful! Samsung has dropped the price to about $50 now so they are very affordable. I have 3 pairs of these glasses and 2 of the rechargeable's and these are much more comfortable on my head. They are lighter and balanced better. They are also quite a bit cheaper than the rechargeables (plus the rechargeables don't fold up).One pair I received from Amazon was cracked out of the box but Amazon was quick to make it right. Don't hesitate to get these glasses! They are great!

The Samsung 2011 3D glasses work amazingly. Not only do they have battery operated built in shutters for great effects but they are very comfortable. they are lightweight, so you can watch movies or play games for hours. i recently purchased mine through Xcessbuy ( a amazon 3rd party seller) which not only gave me prompt shipping but stands behind their products. i opened the package 3 weeks after i had bought them to see that one of the pairs of glasses were broken. I was for certain that there would be a problem getting a exchange because of the amount of time that went by, however; Xcessbuy gave me no problems and shipped me a new pair the next day. i give 3 thumbs up to Xcess buy for anybody who wants a honest online seller.

The Title for these glasses is they work with 2011 model TV's well mine is a 2011 model but its a sharp and these glasses do not work with it. I gave the company a bad review and there was no response.

I purchased 4 pairs of these for my Samsung Plasma (D550). Best price I've seen is here on Amazon. They work great -- they "pair" or sync to the TV very well - you get a message right on the TV so you know you've done it right. They are light weight and comfortable to wear and they even will fit over eyeglasses which is nice. They come with the button cell batteries so you're good to go on receipt. Only problem is that I still get a little queasy from watching 3D but that isn't the fault of the glasses. I'm sure I won't be using them much but they're good to have on hand.

I recently purchased the SSG-3100GB 3D Glasses for my Samsung PN64D7000.Pros:1. Good Price - I got them "used" and very cheap from InSassy ($35 Total).2. Excellent Performance - Active 3D with blue tooth works. No problems with crosstalk or synching. The blue tooth connection works from a distance or angle.3. Less Maintenance - These glasses use non-rechargeable batteries which I consider a plus. Given that each battery costs 50 cents and last 40- 80 hours, this is more convenient than charging. Also, when considering the cost of rechargeable glasses, the charger stations and eventually replacing rechargeable batteries that don't hold charges forever, it's probably cheaper to operate in the long run too.4. They're not ugly and they fit prescription lenses underneath.Cons:1. Glass and Frame Design - These glasses are highly reflective. When using them in anything but the darkest room, you'll notice light reflections from behind you, from your side and even from the front. In a completely dark room the TV reflects off my black coffee table and into the exposed, unframed lens bottoms. This gives a noticeable lit distraction just below your field of vision - imagine seeing the edge of a lens from the inside. This may sound minimal, but it is in face pretty annoying. It would not exist if the lenses were fully framed. I put black marker on the lens edges to prevent light from entering there. As a previous reviewer said, eye cups would prevent the other intrusions of light onto the lenses and rectify both of the issues I described. I think that eyecup design would also look ridiculous, but at least would function better. This design flaw is why I gave 3 stars instead of 5. Everything else about how these glasses work is superb.2.Paying for Glasses Twice - The used glasses market is so large I assume it must be supplied by vendors who abuse Samsung's free glasses promotion. I had to purchase these separately after receiving my Samsung PN64D7000. Samsung was offering it's bundle promotion, but the seller refused to ship the free glasses to make their price point better on Amazon. I felt that after paying $2400 + tax, I should have been given glasses that cost about $15 out of the factory. Samsung should simply place these in the box instead of relying on vendor to honor or not honor their promotion. People who may never have tried 3D will purchase extras if they see 3D with their included samples. Those that love 3D will more easily buy a larger set if you give them 2 to start with. I think the revenue and customer loyalty math would work in Samsung's favor. Feeling "nickel and dimed" when spending $2400 on a television does not instill the emotional "branding" response that companies seek.
