How To Use Lg 3d Glasses

Do Samsung 3D Glasses Work with Panasonic, LG or Sony 3D TVs?

By Chris Boylan

Dear Big Motion-picture show Big Sound,

I've had a 3D Tv (Panasonic TC-P65VT60) for a couple of years, but don't use the 3D feature that much. One reason is that the Idiot box only came with two pairs of 3D spectacles and in that location are four people in the family. I'grand interested in picking up a few more pairs of glasses and then we could all sentinel 3D together. Looking around online, the original Panasonic spectacles are hard to find, and are pretty expensive (over $100/pair). But Samsung makes some cheaper ones (under $thirty/pair) that look pretty good.

Tin I use the Samsung 3D glasses with my Panasonic 3D TV? Will at that place be any drawbacks in doing so?

Thanks,

-Joe

Howdy, Joe,

The answer to that question is, "it depends." It depends on the specific glasses and the model and brand of Television receiver you are using. When 3D TVs were new, every manufacturer had their own way of synchronizing their TVs with the 3D glasses in order to create a 3D image. Synchronization is critical because information technology assures that the left eye sees the left heart prototype and the right eye sees the right eye image, and this gives you the illusion of stereoscopic 3D.

This lack of a universal standard led to some confusion, including a ridiculous commodity that stated that you lot could use Samsung 3D glasses with Panasonic TVs if you wore them upside downwards. The real issue there was that the glasses were synchronized to the wrong Telly which led to them exist 1 frame off: the left centre was getting the correct eye signal, and vice versa. But fifty-fifty if you wore the spectacles upside downwardly, a Panasonic 3D Telly from 2010 or 2011 could not actuate a pair of Samsung 3D glasses, nor could a Samsung TV from 2010 or 2011 turn on a pair of Panasonic 3D glasses.

In 2012, things got ameliorate with the adoption of the Full HD 3D RF standard. With this standard, glasses are synchronized with the 3D Television set using Bluetooth which is a form of RF (Radio Frequency) instead of the old method of IR (Infrared) synchronization. RF is inherently a better mode to synchronize the betoken considering it doesn't lose synch if yous turn your head, leave the room for a moment or move a little further away from the TV. Likewise, by making the communication adhere to a standard, information technology is possible to employ one brand's 3D glasses with some other brand'due south 3D TV. Samsung, in particular, makes some very affordable active 3D glasses (under $thirty/pair, as yous mentioned), while some other manufacturers charge $fifty or fifty-fifty $100 for a pair.

Here are a couple of unlike Samsung Full Hard disk drive 3D glasses available on Amazon at affordable prices (every bit of publication of this commodity). These should work with your TV as well every bit other 3D-capable TVs from Samsung and Panasonic:

Samsung SG-5150GB (battery-powered)
Samsung SSG-3300GR (rechargeable)

Samsung's SSG-5150GB active shutter 3D glasses conform to the Full Hd 3D standard and are compatible with a large selection of 3D-capable TVs.

Unfortunately not all brandish manufacturers fabricated the move to the Full Hard disk drive 3D RF standard for agile 3D glasses. Samsung and Panasonic made the movement in 2012 - your VT60 does adhere to the Full Hard disk drive 3D standard. More recently (2013) Sony began offer models that work with the standard. LCD Projector maker Epson adopted the Full Hard disk drive 3D standard in 2013, while Panasonic's one 3D projector (the PT-AE8000U) even so uses the old proprietary Infrared 3D glasses. Most DLP projectors utilize a completely different course of agile 3D glasses (chosen "DLP Link") which synch to the projector using a signal hidden in the blanking interval between frames.

It would exist difficult to document all of the glasses and all of the 3D TV models and projectors that work with the Total HD 3D standard, but we can confirm that many popular models practice apply the standard (some included below). If those Samsung glasses you lot're looking at adhere to the Full HD 3D standard (which most do, since 2012), then you tin can happily use those inexpensive Samsung spectacles with your Panasonic TV or with any other compatible 3D Goggle box or projector. I've personally tested several unlike pairs of Samsung 3D glasses with Panasonic TVs, Samsung TVs and Epson projectors and tin can confirm that they work fine.

The one thing y'all need to exist careful of is that using one brand's Television receiver with some other brand'due south glasses may have some minor quirks. For example, if you use Samsung spectacles with a Samsung TV and you press the button to synchronize them, you'll see an on-screen indicator with confirmation of the pairing besides every bit an indication of battery strength. Using those same spectacles with a Panasonic Tv set, yous get the 3D pairing, but you don't get whatever on-screen message to indicate success or battery strength.

Also, when you use Samsung spectacles with a Samsung Telly, turning off the TV or switching information technology out of 3D fashion automatically turns off the 3D glasses, conserving battery life. With some non-Samsung TVs, the 3D spectacles remain powered on, even with no active 3D betoken beingness broadcast. If y'all use Samsung glasses with a non-Samsung 3D TV, and then be sure to turn the glasses off (or fifty-fifty remove the battery) after apply. This fashion your batteries will last a whole lot longer. This is a peculiarly skillful idea if y'all don't utilize the 3D feature very oftentimes.

No matter what brand, if your 3D TV and 3D glasses have this logo, they'll work together.

In terms of uniform glasses, I've tested the Samsung SSG-5150GB spectacles (2014 model), the SSG-5100GB glasses (2013 model) and the SSG-4100GB (2012 model) with a number of dissimilar displays and these spectacles adhere to the Full HD 3D standard. I've also tested the SSG-3300GR rechargeable glasses with several unlike displays and constitute that these work as expected besides.

For TVs, Samsung 3D TVs made in 2012 and later are compatible with the Full HD 3D standard. This includes whatever model with the letters E, ES, F, FH or HU in the model number. Samsung'southward current 3D spectacles (Samsung SSG-5150GB) are also compatible with Samsung's 2011 series TVs (letter of the alphabet code "D").

Panasonic 3D-capable plasma TVs fabricated in 2012 and 2013 adhere to the Total Hd standard. This includes the ST50, GT50, VT50, ST60, VT60 and ZT60 plasma TVs.

Sony adopted the Full HD 3D standard a bit later, but we've heard reliable reports that Total HD 3D-uniform 3D spectacles do piece of work with the Sony W800B and W850B HDTVs too every bit the X800B, X900B and X950B 4K Ultra Hard disk TVs.

For LG, most of their 3D-capable LED/LCD sets use passive 3D glasses (totally different technology). LG never actually joined the Full Hd 3D brotherhood, even though their plasma sets do use active shutter 3D glasses. Even and so, some owners report that some recent LG plasma TVs are compatible with the Full HD 3D standard (and with Samsung's most contempo 3D glasses), including the PB9600 plasma. Pairing the glasses with an LG TV may be a bit tricky though. Information technology helps to hold the glasses close to the TV and make sure you are displaying a 3D bespeak when you printing the pairing push.

For projectors, we can ostend that Full HD 3D glasses piece of work with Epson 3D-capable projectors made in 2013 and later, including the PowerLite Abode Movie theatre 2000, 2030, 3600, 3600e and 5030 (amidst others). Earlier models of Epson projectors used IR glasses and so exist sure to cheque your transmission for details. JVC also jumped on the Full Hard disk 3D bandwagon for their 3D-capable projectors, merely simply with their RF emitters (the IR emitters volition non work with the new RF/Bluetooth 3D spectacles).

At that place are still a broad range of agile shutter 3D glasses -- both IR and RF -- on the market today as well every bit a number of different 3D capable TVs. With the Full HD 3D standard, things accept gotten a bit easier in terms of mixing and matching glasses with televisions. But there are even so a lot of dissimilar options out at that place.

Because the compatiblity issues, and personal preferences about comfort and fit, nosotros'd recommend doing a chip of research earlier assuming anything most compatibility. Your all-time bet would be to buy a unmarried pair (preferably somewhere with a good render policy) and examination them on your specific display (and your face!) before buying multiple pairs.
