Picked up some 3rd Generation Panasonic 3D Glasses

Mediums TY-EW3D3MU

I have had 4 different pairs of Samsung 2011 glasses, and these are both more comfortable and less reflective on the inside than they were. That was always a complaint of mine, seeing a weird reflection inside the glasses while they were on my head in a dark/dim room. Also cool they have an actual on/off switch and a switch to see a 3D image in 2D.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at how light they are as well as feeling like a quality build. Good job Panasonic.

I've been very happy with my pair too.

Those are the standardized ones. I'll have to see if they work with the Sharps.

I though those were coming this year, in April. New tv models are bluetooth and these 3rd gens I got dont work with them. I was told Mid April release.

Yeah, these came in Aug of 2011 I think. Anywho the standardized ones should be out soon.

My brother got a 60 incher and I've talked him into inviting the wife and I to his place to watch the Olympics in 3D. So a question. I have a big head (no laughing) and we both wear glasses. So are there sizes? How big do they get?

My Brother has a big head, his Mits glasses work ok for him, not sure on these new panny glasses...

My brother has a Panny Plasma. Do those Mits glasses work with those? And how good are they?

Small = 19"-21" head circumfrance; Medium=21"-24" head circumfrance; Large=24"-27" head circumfrance

My Mellon measured 23" around, and the mediums are plenty fine. I think for 2012 they are only gonna have med and small, basically adult and kid.

I got my 3rd pair of 3rd gens yesterday ordered from a guy on ebay, $97 and he had 7 more at the time. Those 3rd gens are damn comfortable and look cool too. They also have a switch that allows you to turn them on, then turn them into 2D mode. This is great if you are watching a 3D movie and one person in the group gets sick from 3D. They just flip the switch and watch it in 2D.

Not sure, I like the looks of the glasses Jason has posted above. The Mits are more clunky earlier gen glasses.

2012 they will all be standard, Id be careful pre 2011 tv year. Folks are saying $55 PS3 glasses at Amazon are panny made and work fine with 2010 and 2011's.

They also weigh only 26 grams, which rocks. The inside is much less reflective from reflections going on behind you, and like I said that 2D/3D switch is pretty sweet.

Wow, these glasses were a lot cheaper around Christmas time. I paid $180 for a twin pack at Amazon at the time. Fro a third pair, I bought the Xpand 103-p2-g1. They're only $60, and work fine. Comfortable, but the fit is not a good as the panny glasses though.

They are more becuase there was a shortage. The last batch didnt make it to market, I guess QC issues. New batch of like 5000 is hitting early April IIRC. Supply and demand, I couldn't wait so I bought em.

You can get on wait here for a great price:

Panasonic TY-EW3D3MU TY-EW3D3MU MEDIUM ACTIVE SHUTTER 3D EYEWEAR DC 5V 0.92LB (NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES) - BLT Catalog!

This is where Ill get my 4th pair.
