This review is from: 3d Glasses (Four) and Emitter for 3d Ready DLP Tv’s or Pc with Nvidia Quadro Card
My Mitsubishi DLP HDTV came “3D Ready” but prices were astronomical. Mitsubishi wants $400 for two pairs of glasses and the emitter. They also give you a box that allows you to connect to a non “checkerboard” compatible 3D source. I bought a Panasonic 3D Blu-ray player that has native support, so all I needed were glasses. Along comes the crowning touch to my 3D setup.. THESE GLASSES! I had a question at 10pm and they called me the next morning and stayed on the line to make sure I was fully satisfied with my answers. The glasses came packed well, in a generic brown box with peanuts and bags. The glasses don’t have flashy colors or logos on them, and like all 3D glasses look silly on, but work GREAT!
Cons? Ok, two. I have a 60″ TV because the room is big enough to “need” one. The included emitter is better than the base one they sell, but not quite strong enough to make the 15 feet to my favorite seating position. My solution was to tuck the emitter’s base into one of my suspended ceiling tiles about 3 feet in front of the TV. The other problem I had was with my remote. The emitter constantly sends a sync signal to the glasses and makes my remote useless. Since I doubt I’ll be doing much remote mashing while viewing a 3D movie, the solution is to take the emitter out of the ceiling tiles when not in use.
For the price, you can’t do any better, not even for double the price. Next up… nVidia Quadra card for my computer for 3D gaming!

100% convinced that this approach of using their emitter and glasses are the best solution. I have two Mit DLP TVs as well as the Mit conversion box (which is not needed if you use the Panasonic 3d players. My two Mitz glasses are “excess” at this point as they cannot be used at the same time with these glasses…but for about $40 each, these glasses more than compensate for the lost investment and these glasses are much better quality and turn on/off automatically. Compare that with the Mitz glasses where you are never confident that they are turned off.
I had a few minor connection issues, but their documentation is outstanding (and can be found on their web site before you buy their glasses. Yes, there is a somewhat annoyance with the Mitz remote being overpowered and “jammed” by their Gen2 emitter, but try different placements to resolve that inconvenience.
3d technology is quickly evolving and in general dependent on using the same brand ancilliary equipment. The new interface standards (1a)are not really standards, but rather a grouping of transmission techniques used by the 3d DVR makers and the broadcast media which tend to favor a side by side mode. The older Mitz DLP TV use a checkerboard so they have limitations that these devices overcome. The newer (since 2009) Mit DLP TVs are firmware upgradable and will work with just about any source. My older 60 inch Mitz TV was not firmware upgradable and while the Mitz converter is a great device, it is not necessary for the Mitz line of DLP TV. Be aware I am not vouching for the Samsung or other line of 3d ready TVs. Also be aware that is often necessary to “trick” the TV into accepting new 3d attachments. This was not necessary with these alternative glasses.
