Where can I find stylish passive 3D glasses? - Blu-ray Forum

nycomet · 11-17-2011, 04:17 AM

Although I have 14 pairs of passive 3D glasses for my LG 55LW5600, they are very plain. They get the job done, but I am wondering if there are any other manufacturers that make more stylish passive 3D glasses that work with the LG 3D Cinema displays.

Any recommendations? Links would be very helpful. Thanks.

You shoulda gone and seen ol' Haz Potter and the Deathly Hallows or whatever it was called. For a dollar extra they had Harry's glasses, if you consider them stylish...
Could an optometrist maybe make a pair for you in your frame of choice? Might be worth an ask...

400 DMR points and these are yours:

Thanks Keb,

Those Oakley passive 3D glasses are amazing -- and so is the price... $150? (Yikes!). But I would sure feel like Optimus Prime's beotch wearing them while viewing 3D BDs on the LG 55LW5600, eh? Seriously, the plain black ones ($120) are truly spectacular. Do you have a pair?

So now I am torn... do I save up for the Oakley's or cough-up my 400 Disney Reward Points for the Cars 3D glasses?

Just sayin.

Oh- FYI the Cars 2 glasses are kid sized (as in fact the Optimus mask might be- still haven't verified that).
DMR's Pirates glasses are regular size- but I think in all practical respects they are identical to regular theater RealD glasses. And they are 700 points. I might still get them as I like limited edition movie glasses. I've got my Captain America 3D glasses from the premiere at Comic Con, my Harry Potter ones (HORRIBLY uncomfortable

from the Double Feature of HP 7.1+2. Plus the kids size Lion King glasses and the Cars 2 ones. Haven't bit the bullet on the Pirates ones or the transformers masks though.

You lucky dude!

I think I am gonna save up and get the $120 Oakleys. Or maybe I'll get lucky and get it from Santa!

Those would look good on The Jersey Shore cast, everyone else would probably look stupid.

...

Not to put too fine a point on it but the title and description on the DMR website say they are for adults: http://www.disneymovierewards.go.com/mobile/welcome

If I remember correctly, DMR had kid-sized Cars-themed 3D glasses at one point for 400 DMR points as well. But those were mostly all red:

Now I can add another pair of glasses to debate whether or not to get.
thanks for setting me straight, basketb.

hijeff1 · 12-01-2011, 07:06 PM

these glasses look AMAZING. Do we know if they work with the LG 55" Passive tv's? or is there a way to tell on the website?

They are RealD compatible. They are the same polarization as passive TVs. The ones that are not compatible are most IMAX glasses.

hijeff1 · 12-01-2011, 07:42 PM

Thanks Keb33509. I really REALLY hope your right. I just ordered them from Amazon.

With Christmas knocking at the door, I doubt Santa will bring me a pair of Oakley passive 3D glasses. I've been using the standard LG 3D passive glasses that came with the 55LW5600. They work GREAT, but I feel the need to upgrade from the "Ugly Betty" 3D eyewear and treat myself to a sexy pair of Oakleys. I wanna look fly -- even in the dark.

I cannot walk around looking like Edith Bunker. I wanna be a 3D stud like Tyrese Gibson in Transformers. So I guess it's time to man up and fork over $120 bucks (or more) for those super cool Oakley's.

Has anyone else here on the 3D forum bought the Oakley passive 3D shades? If so, was it worth it to you?

NYcomet, I ordered the Transformers ones yesterday. I'll let you know how they work out. What town on Long Island are you from anyway?
