Finally I can watch my movies in 3D
By Chris Dillon
CR2025 Battery required under the details is WRONG I bought CR2025 batteries with this purchase so I could get the free shipping on orders over 35$ and come to find out these glasses come with 2 CR1620 batteries. I suggest someone fix this error in details. The exact battery reads: CR1620 3V

The glasses themselves work great they synced up to my T.V (un46fh6030) in like 2 seconds, come with 1 extra battery (2 total) and a microfiber cleaning cloth. The quality however of the plastic is kinda low and i'm kinda surprised they don't fold up like normal glasses which is odd to me. They come in 3 pieces and the sides snap into place.

Back of the box reads: 3D Active Glasses, For all 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Samsung D, E, ES, F, FH, H, and HU series 3D TV.

Overall they're great glasses for the price and I'm really enjoying them already just don't expect the quality to be that of expensive 100$ glasses. Would I recommend them? Yes and if the two pair I bought get broken I will buy these again. If your not looking to spend a lot on glasses these will get the job done.

Universal 3D Glasses, work with Panasonic, Epson, Sony, Samsung and more. Here's How
By Chris Boylan
These are the latest (2014) model of Samsung's entry-level active 3D glasses. They adhere to the universal RF 3D glasses standard are will work with Samsung 3D TVs (back to 2011) and also with recent active 3D TVs from Panasonic and Sony as well as Epson 3D-capable projectors. Since they adhere to the universal 3D glasses standard, they will work with many other brands and models as well. I've personally tested them with a Panasonic 2013 model year 3D TV (TC-P60VT60) and an Epson Home Cinema 2000 projector and they worked great with both. They are *not* compatible with any passive 3D TVs, such as those from LG, Vizio and some Panasonic 3D LED/LCD TVs, nor will they work with first generation active 3D sets that used IR (Infrared) 3D glasses. Check your TV or projector to make sure it adheres to the universal RF 3D glasses standard before buying these.

Per the packaging, they will work with any Samsung model that includes the following letter codes: D, E, ES, F, FH, H and HU series. So they'd worth with a UN55F8000 (F series, from 2013) but not a UN46C8000 (C series, from 2010).

As with last year's 3D glasses from Samsung (SSG-5100GB, now discontinued), these are great glasses for the money. They're not perfect, but they work well and are inexpensive. These glasses are very light, provide an acceptable field of view, and create a solid, stable full HD 3D image. As with last year's model, these ones do not fold, which means they take up a bit more shelf space than folding models, but this is a fairly minor gripe.

Samsung went with a smaller battery this year (CR1620 vs. last year's CR2025). I guess this makes the glasses slightly smaller/lighter but it also reduces the 3D viewing time from 150 hours to 70 hours. Still, 70 hours of 3D viewing is a very long time (30+ movies), and the SSG-5100GB comes with two batteries (one plus a spare) so it's not worth worrying about. I'd recommend ordering a few extra CR1620 batteries on Amazon and just keep them in a drawer.

In terms of getting these glasses up and running, it's pretty simple. First make sure your TV is powered up and you've got 3D content on the screen. The best bet is to use a Blu-ray 3D Disc in a Blu-ray 3D player and get to the disc menu. If you like to watch 3D content at home and don't own a Blu-ray 3D player then get one! But if you don't then you can also put your 3D-capable TV into a 3D-simulation mode. On Panasonic TVs, you should see a "3D" button on the remote. Hit this to go from 2D to 3D mode. On other compatible 3D displays, you should see a button or menu option to put the TV into 3D mode.

If your TV is in 3D mode and you are not wearing glasses, you should see doubled lines on the screen (it will look "fuzzy"). It's easiest to see this with text. Once you're in 3D mode on the TV, then do the following:

* Take the 3D glasses out of the box and attach the arms to the bridge. The underside of each arm is hollow so you can tell the top from the bottom easily and can figure out which side each one goes on.
* Open the battery compartment by turning the round panel on the inside center of the glasses (on the bridge) counterclockwise. Use a coin or the spare CR1620 battery in the slot to open the battery panel.
* Insert the battery into the recessed battery compartment with the "+" side visible and pointing toward you, reinsert and rotate the battery door clockwise to close it.
* Remove the protective films from the lenses by pulling up the red and blue tabs on each side of the lenses (these are only to protect the lenses during shipment).
* Push the little power/sync button on the top of the bridge of the glasses (it will turn green when it syncs).
* Put the glasses on your face and look at the TV screen.

If your glasses have paired properly with your TV, you should see depth to the image. The doubled lines will be gone replaced by three dimensional goodness. If you have a Panasonic 3D TV, you will probably not see any on-screen indication (no message or icon) that the pairing was successful. If you have an Epson projector, you will see a message on-screen to indicate successful pairing. If you have a Samsung TV, you will also see an on-screen indication that the pairing was successful. In any case, if your image now has 3D depth instead of doubled lines, then your pairing was successful and you are ready to watch.

Do this once for each pair of glasses, hand them out to your family and/or friends and press play! When the movie is finished. Hit the power/sync button one more time to turn the glasses off. The indicator light will turn red then go off.

If this works for you (or doesn't work), let me know in the comments. Be sure to specify what TV you are using.

Great glasses at a great price.
By MS Lise Anne Wright
These glasses are fantastic! My Samsung 3D LED TV came with 4 pairs of these glasses and after being a bit skeptical about the viewing experience - I can say now that I absolutely love them! The are very comfortable and the viewing is superior whether it's 3D Blur rays or 3D On Demand. The first movie I put in for the kids had me sold. Crisp, clear pictures that jump out at you, just like in the theatre and without spending 50 bucks. I came back to order more so we had enough for company. Samsung does it right...superior, cutting edge, easy to use products that don't break the bank. Easy pairing and set up as well.
