HISTORY:
I like to experiment, try out the "latest" tech to see what it can do ... this was one of the gizmo's I had a play with, way back in 2015 or so, about ten years ago. Once I had my fun, I put these glasses away, never to see the light of day until now ... geez, I haven't even taken the protective clear plastic film off the lens!
Here is an interesting video I found online, shame it's in German but I like the way the guy is trying to show the 'television' video and the 'glasses 3D video' of the same scene - much more interesting than videos showing guys just opening the box - Doh! boring ...
SAMSUNG 3D Active Glasses
Made In China
Released in Australia around 2011
One owner (me) purchased around 2015 for about A$49 I think it was
Model: SSG-3100GB
Adult size 'active' glasses
Designed to ONLY work with the SAMSUNG 3D Televisions, D6000, D6400, D6500, D7000, D7900 and D8000 series LED televisions or the older PLASMA D490,550 Series and above. There are even a couple of monitors these will work with, these being T27A750 and T27A950 models
If you do not have a compatible SAMSUNG television - WALK AWAY! These glasses will not be able to "talk" to the television at all
Battery powered (type 2025 button battery) non-rechargeable
Manufacturer claims 70 Hour runtime
Automatically 'pairs' with compatible televisions (it is easy to do but explained in the User manual anyway)
NOTE: I seem to have misplaced the original manual but I notice that it is readily available online (free of charge) OR I can send the manual to the new owner (file transfer preferred as this manual is 33 pages, a lot of wasted paper!)
General opinions about these glasses (by users, including myself)
- Excellent 3D picture: The glasses work great, improving the 3D experience by making double images clear and vivid.
- Comfort: These glasses are more comfortable to wear for longer periods than other models, because they are lighter and well-balanced.
- Value: For the original cost of these glasses and those that are still being offered in the marketplace, these fun glasses represent not bad "bang for your buck"
Topside POWER ON-OFF (auto pairing as well) button on top of the glasses frame (one side)
LED indicator showing that power is active
Weight: 32 grams (without the battery)
Treat this (as I did) as a fun piece of technology, it is not expensive and interesting to see how it performs. I got bored with it pretty quickly (I am not an avid 3D movie fan or gamer) but at least I had a look into what these things could do.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
NEW (Almost - worn a couple of times then put back in the box and never used again! - we also changed the television, so it didn't have a matching TV any more)
CLEAN
NO damage of any kind the glasses
The original protective films remain in place over both lens, remove these before use and keep your grubby fingers off the lens!
Battery compartment is clean (empty - you need to get your own 2025 button battery, very commonly available for a few $$$)
To keep the glasses in very good condition, I have now sealed the original box in clear plastic waiting for a new owner who may like to have a little 3D fun with their own SAMSUNG television.
