Cool Best active 3D glasses - shutter battery powered rechargeable recommendations etc

Hi all,
Firstly, please don't flame me for using such old technology (I do have a small 23" 3D monitor too).

I have been using the Xtreme 3D shutter glasses connected via a dongle to my PC (connected to my Infocus X1 projector) and have enjoyed watching sbs movies in 3D on the big screen for several years. Unfortunately, my Xtreme 3D shutter glasses (and extra pairs) have finally died a death and I'm currently just watching all my 3D Blu-rays on my 23" 3D monitor. The picture looks great but I really miss the scale of the big screen (even if the image is at a lower resolution). I've considered buying a new Xtreme 3D system and importing it from the US but I also had another thought. Could I use Universal active glasses with my Infocus X1 projector via the PC? I noticed that the Xtreme 3D dongle has a mini VESA connection and so I was wondering if I could get a Universal pair of active shutter glasses that would work using an IR emitter connected to the dongle?

I've done some research and have found the following information...

1) The VESA connection on the dongle is for an IR emitter
2) The active shutter glasses would need a blue line code in order to sync with Stereoscopic player. (I believe I need an earlier version of Stereoscopic Player but another software called sView may also work. (although I tried to install sView on my laptop but it wouldn't run).

I have to add that I want this setup to watch 3D movies in sbs avi format only and not for gaming. I have been able to watch 3D movies for several years with my other glasses.

So is it worth me trying to get some Universal active 3D glasses to work with my system or should I just import another Xtreme 3D kit and wait a couple of weeks for delivery?

Thanks for any advice.

Gae
