Customer Reviews

We purchased the Samsung PN63C8000 TV ; received 2 of these glasses with the kit ; purchased 2 more $149.00 each + tax. When we got home ; watched the first 3D movie,excitement filled the room. Within an hour I realized there was a serious problem. Everyone kept having different problems different times. IE: loosing sync with the TV, Colors fading in ; out, Color shifts from red / blue ; green... We returned the glasses ; got a new kit(2pair) ; swapped the purchased pairs out. Same problem with 3/4 pair. I'll get to the point here to save a (little) time. After multiple calls ; Trips to the seller, I googled the problem ; found similar experiences ; some tips to resolve them.( Which I've included below) Some problems persisted so I contacted Samsung, which had the BEST attitude ; ease of contacting tech support I've ever experienced with a major manufacturer. Through experience,other user tips ; Samsung recommendations we now have the best 3D set up I've seen. Try the following. I personally recommend in the order listed: Or Just skip to the Summary at the bottom for the conclusion:::
1. First, Your Samsung 3D TV has an IR (infrared) emitter. On the PNxxC8000 series you will see a small rectangle red lens located on the front lower right ; lower left of your set. The one on the right is for your remote control. The left is the emitter. Make certain when using the glasses your line of sight to THIS emitter is not blocked. Also, gently clean the surface of the emitter if any dust or sticky residue( as was in my case) is noticed over it. Then , while playing a 3D movie, walk up to emitter with glasses off(remember, lower left side on this set),cup your hands around it blocking the light from the TV,place your eye close to it, ; you should see what appears to be a small continuous glowing dim red light within the unit. OR, if you have a cell phone with a camera, place it near the emitter in camera mode ; you should see a "whitish" light glowing from the emitter on your cell/camera screen. Either way, if the light blinks on ; off the emitter is faulty ; glasses will loose sync intermittently. If it is not glowing at all, the glasses will not work at all. Call Samsung customer support if you find a problem here, ; arrange for it to be changed out.
2. Replace the batteries that came with the glasses with new CR2025 Lithium batteries(Duracell was recommended by Samsung) I could not find any locally but got a great deal on them Amazon.com. Temporarily I used Energizer CR2025's I found WalMart ; that greatly improved things but this alone will not solve the problem.
3. This is the part that is frustrating as it appears to involve a flaw in design.Located on the front of your glasses, on the nose/bridge there is a small rectangle shaped plastic lens.This is the IR receiver for the glasses. Unfortunately,the plastic while semi-transparent is also reflective.Scene changes, bright scenes, or reflections on the screen,brighter ambient light or lighting in the room can confuse the sensor ; cause the glasses to loose sync with the emitter. SOLUTION: I've tried several methods to resolve this but finally found one that worked GREAT. Cut a small piece of electrical tape so that it can be placed over the IR receiver on the glasses. It needs to cover all but approximately 1mm at the top ; bottom of the small IR receiver. It will take a couple of tries to get the fit just right. For me, I cut the piece longer than the receiver is to have something to hold on to while centering it in place. It's OK to cover the Left ; Right edges completely. Just make certain you have the 1mm space exposing the sensor at the top ; bottom. ( FYI: 1mm is about the width of the wire used in a spiral notebook, so, not much). The glasses will sync continuously using this method until you turn completely away from the TV but they quickly regain sync after facing the set again.
4. Please note that I have had great success using what I've described here but out of 8 pairs of glasses, I had 2 pairs that began to have dramatic color changes after continuous use of 1-2 hours. This was simply a case of a defective processor in the glasses themselves ; I returned them as well.
SUMMARY This is a relatively new technology ; while other brands may not have the sync issues described here, I have tried 2 other brands in my home ; spent countless hours viewing, researching etc. before deciding on Samsung. The 3D effects produced by these glasses when matched with the set I mentioned above are unsurpassed in my opinion. I also own other less expensive glasses that perform satisfactorily, but there is definitely a greater perceived depth of field ; a richness of color that these glasses produce that I have found no where else.
I've tried to present you with a good review of the glasses as well as solutions to the problems you may face with them. If I could do it all over again...AND I can as I'm still within the seller's return policy, I'd choose the exact same set up...HANDS DOWN : ), Thanks, David

These glasses are also compatible with the mitsubishi 3d kit. The glasses use CR2025 batteries that are easy to change. If the glasses die on you during a movie you can quickly change the battery and be back watching in seconds VS waiting for you to charge up the rechargable ones.
