Review on 👓 Xpand 3D IR 3D Glasses - Single Pack (Discontinued by Manufacturer) - Enhanced for SEO by Runbi Alvarez

I recently bought a Sony Bravia KDL-55NX720 which supports 3D but comes without glasses. I was interested in the 3D factor as I'm into electronics a bit. I had to buy 3D glasses and watch it. Instead of buying just one type of 3D glasses I decided to buy 3 different compatible glasses and test them out. I have three pairs of glasses: Xpand X103Sony TDG-BR250PlayStation 3 3D glasses I wear 32mm rimless bifocals. For convenience I would arrange the glasses as follows: 1. Sony TDG-BR2503. PlayStation 3D3 glasses. Xpand X103 All the glasses worked on my glasses but I find the Sony TDG-BR250 best matches my glasses and is the most comfortable. I found the Xpand X103 to be the most uncomfortable, although they are fine and I really have no problem watching a movie. Based on other reviews, comfort varies greatly from viewer to viewer. Both the PlayStation and Xpand glasses were a bit awkward to put on over the glasses. That was probably the biggest feel-good factor for me. None of the Xpand nose pieces fit me perfectly. The PlayStation goggles had an adjustable nose piece that fit me better. In terms of 3D performance, I would rank them in the following order: 1. PlayStation 3D2 glasses. Extension X1033. Sony TDG-BR250 PlayStation 3D and Sony TDG-BR250 have similar colors and brightness. I think I had the most flicker with the BR250 but it's hard to say, none of them were bad. The TDG-BR250 looked fine as long as you kept your head straight, even if you tilted it slightly left or right the image brightened and there was a lot of crosstalk. The PlayStation glasses have a polarizing filter that reduces crosstalk and it definitely works. The Xpand glasses were similar to the PlayStation glasses with crosstalk properties. You could tilt your head left or right and the image hardly changed. However; With Expand glasses, the image was slightly darker and the colors were slightly distorted. I liked the brighter image and the color rendering of the Sony glasses more. You could probably adjust the image so that the Xpand glasses would give you a similar color/brightness profile if you were only using the Xpand glasses. The color and brightness weren't so different that watching programs from different brands would be a big problem. I know that Xpand 103 glasses are suitable for brands other than Sony. They simply synced to my Sony TV. I believe the SonyPlaystion glass is also universal for infrared systems (but not newer Bluetooth). They are listed as compatible with Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and Sharp Active Shutter 3D. At least for the Sony system, they synced automatically. TDG-BR250 are designed for Sony systems. So another plus point for Playstation glasses, at least on my system. Both Sony glasses are rechargeable. The Xpand uses an inexpensive battery. I haven't had a system long enough to know what I prefer. It really depends on how long the Xpand's battery lasts compared to how often the Sony needs to be charged and how well it holds a charge when not in use for a period of time. Since I use Xpand batteries for the detection system I use to find my cats when they go outside, I always have a supply of batteries on hand. I guess I would actually prefer a battery system that I assume doesn't often need batteries to charge. Sony claims it only takes 3 minutes to charge for an hour of playback, so they charge up fast. However, things that charge tend not to stay charged unless they're used for a period of time. I can see it's a pain when someone comes in and wants to look at the 3D, but the glasses need to be charged. The same will happen as we get more content on TV. Batteries generally do not discharge when left idle for long periods of time and can be replaced immediately (IF you have batteries on hand) when they are depleted. Here is my latest review1. 3D glasses SonyPlaystation2. Xpand 1033 3D glasses Sony TDG-BR250 Sony offers polarization filters for the TDG-BR250, which should eliminate crosstalk. I ordered a pair from Sony today for free. If they work I could push the Sony TDG-BR250 to the top of the list as they are the most convenient for me. However, it requires some work to get an extra part to make the product usable.
