I got these glasses and have a Mits 73 inch TV. While these work great if you 4 feet from the TV once you go back up 10+ feet you will get alot of flicker they go in and out of 3D model..
I then purchased the Optuma pair for $30 less...they worked perfectly...flawless...with minimal to no flicker.

Panasonic TY-EW3D2MU 3D Active Shutter Eyewear for Panasonic 3D HDTVs - Medium Review

First, I will preface this review by saying that I have only used these glasses for a total of appx. 30 minutes, and so I may modify my rating next week to 4 stars, but I highly doubt that (I plan to watch about 5 3D Blu-Rays from start to finish using my new glasses while on vacation!).
A few things, the weekend before these arrived, I was at home and I went to watch Ice Age 3 3D and as I pulled out my 3D Panasonic Gen 1 glasses the first 2 of 3 pairs were dead!!!!! No 'auto off' feature, and I have no idea if I forgot to turn them off or more likely bumped the power switch while folding them up etc. and putting them into their protective boxes! Thankfully my 3rd pair still had a working battery.
So, improvement #1 - when these new Gen 2 Glasses are 'on' there is a steady blinking pulse from the LED. Improvement #2 - the power is no longer a button to be pressed but a 'switch'.
Next, once they arrived, since I did have one pair of the Gen 1's that still had a working battery I decided to watch appx. 20-30 minutes of Ice Age 3 3D with the old glasses first just to refresh my memory of all the things I 'disliked' about the old glasses - don't fit snug, light seeps in from the sides, none of the nose pieces fit properly, to easy to accidentally turn on when putting away or whatnot. Most especially though, they feel like they are going to fall off my face and when I lay sideways on the couch if I rest my head against a pillow it 'pushes' them off so I have to sit in awkward positions to watch my 3D content.
The new glasses were a god send- they fit perfectly (I used my snowboarding helmet size and measured my head to be certain I was a size medium), they are snug without pinching or hurting anywhere. I felt like I could power them off, walk in the kitchen, get a drink, come back, power them back on and pick up where I left off!
More importantly I can now lay or sit in any position I want without worry that my glasses will be falling off my face! Also, the sides no longer have those huge gaps in them!!
Icing on the cake, as mentioned above - on/off 'switch', flashing LED for on/off status, AND a USB charging cable (why all of this was not done in the Gen 1 glasses I have no idea, but after spending around $3,000+ on my 3D setup it was WELL worth the extra money for me to grab a set of these glasses).
I'll update my review after I spend more time with them but I couldn't figure out why there were no reviews when these have been out since October so I took a chance and ordered them and wanted to help if there were others still on the fence about getting these.
Be sure to get the right size though as the nose piece is not interchangeable (which I actually prefer).
Happy (3D) Viewing!!!

I have a Panasonic 3D and wear normal glasses , the Panny's never seemed to fit comfortably for my tastes... These feel great , secure on my face , they seem lighter on my nose than the panny's. Wearing glasses inside these felt great because they go snug around your head.You do have to set the glasses for your tv model , for some reason I thought it would automatically do it so that was a little bummer... you have to hold down the power and cycle the button until it matches your brand... it will remember it the next time so no big deal but if you do bring them to someone else's house you will have to remember how to do this or explain it to someone who is using them. My local theater is not xpand so I cannot try the cinema part but thats another setting too! so dont lose those instructions... So if your looking to buy a second or third 3d glasses for your rig consider these for its transportability and at least a change of pace from the glasses that your tv brand forces on you.
added 11/9/10 : Just played hours of Call of Duty black ops in 3D and it looked great!

Writing this review to try to help out others looking to buy this product.
I bought a samsung 3d tv (490 model) a few weeks ago. Was searching amazon for a good deal on the glasses and I stumbled across 2 different products with the same model number for the starter kit. One had what looked like an older version of the box and the other a newer picture with the Monster Vs. Aliens promo on the front. When comparing the 2 different listings, I found that they both came with 2 pairs of sunglasses and the MvA movie. The only difference I could find between the 2 was a price difference, mixed reviews for the one that seemed older, and maybe a cosmetic box difference. So after contemplating I decided to purchase what seemed to be the older version for a very low price of 135.00 for the box set(while the other was selling for 350.00) . I figured if I received them and they did not work I could just return them.
In 5 days I receive my package and open it up to find a pair of the glasses in the newer box with the MvA promo on the front. Open up the package and put in the MvA movie into my PS3 and put the glasses on and the 3d was working great.
I also downloaded a few of the 3d game demos in the ps store and they also worked great. I have not yet had any issues with these glasses.
These glasses fit fine over a pair of square frame glasses, although they are not the most comfortable or stylish, they don't bug to the point you want to take them off. Cant wait for more 3d titles to be released.Overall a great purchase at $135 and I dont think there is any difference between this and the other higher price product with the same model number.

Samsung's new 3D Active Glasses are the gateway to Samsung 3D entertainment. Impressive both in how they function and in what they allow you to experience, the technology works as follows: When you put them on and look at the screen, the technology first blocks the left and then the right lens. It happens faster than the blink of an eye - so your eye won't notice it. But when images are shown to each eye separately this "staggered" effect achieves far more lifelike 3D images.

technology innovations are going to cost more at the leading edge ... i have seven children at home, several grand children and grand parents who have all come over and watched the 3d movie (only one so far) ... we even watch some regular blue-ray movies in the simulated 3d mode, which is not as great, but it does add depth ... and no one has damaged the glasses, from age 2 (with parental supervision) to age 78 ... with lots of young hands turning the glasses on and off ... we have four of them, kid tested for over four months and all working and intact ... yes, they are not indestructable, they could be easily broken with carelessness, but you would think if something cost a hundred dollars, you would take care of them and not leave them to be sat on ... and for those who care, not one of us have had headaches or anything else after several hours at a time and over fifty hours over the four months ... and 3d is great ... the whole picture just has so much more realism (if one can have that in an animation film) ... just the individual hairs on the moth ... the many times you just put your hand out there cause you believe you can almost touch the picture ... just fabulous ... maybe not for everyone, but out of the sixty or so people who have watched at our house, not one of them was not impressed and everyone wants to know when we are getting our next 3d movie (more than likey meatballs this month) ... there has always been those who put technology down or believe everything should be indestructable and a cheap price ... well, the car, television, computer and many other advances have overcome those that are negative, (of course some advances have failed miserably) ... but my advice is to judge for yourself, i know a couple of box and department stores that have the tv and glasses for demonstrations ... take the time and see for yourself ...

Samsung SSG-2200AR Rechargeable Adult 3D Glasses, Black Review

Samsung SSG-2200AR Rechargeable Adult 3D Glasses, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The SSG-2200AR 3D glasses work. They have a solid field of view, have a sturdy feel, don't weigh enough to cause discomfort, and don't rely on potentially pricy batteries that have to be replaced each month.
That said, there are a couple of major flaws with these glasses that should be mentioned. The first, and most concerning, is the IR sensor. Active shutter glasses use IR, just like a TV remote, to sync the glasses so that the lenses block frames intended for the other eye. The sensors on these glasses are far too sensitive. During bright flashes, including some chapter transitions in movies, the sensor gets confused and shuts the glasses down for a second or so. It's not long and doesn't happen constantly, but it does get annoying especially during intense action sequences. This is easily fixed with a tiny strip of opaque tape, but remains a questionable design decision that will hopefully be rectified in future generations.
The other issue is more a misconception. The ~$50 premium to get the rechargeable batteries can appear to be a pretty good deal, but it's not. The CR2025's required by the SSG-2100AB (the same ones included with the 3D Starter Kit) are expensive in stores like Best Buy, but are widely available online for under $1 each; Amazon sells 24 (12x2) Enegizer cells in that range. The replaceable battery lasts for about 50 hours (versus 30 for the Li-ion in these) which is about a month depending on viewing habits. For a single pair of glasses, it would take 4 years to make up the extra cost, assuming that the energy cost of recharging is negligible. Another factor to consider is down time. If a battery dies in the 2100AB, you can pause the movie and have a new one going in a minute. Should the rechargeable battery drain, there is a two hour charge time before they can be used again. Add that to the more frequent stoppages from the lower capacity, more movie nights can be halted more severely. At the very least, having a battery-powered pair on standby is recommended. With prices where they are, that's a lot of money for a backup.
I'm knocking a star for each of the two issues I've had with them. From a value proposition, these really aren't that great a deal. From a technical aspect, even with a quick and cheap fix available, it is troubling that such a fault wasn't caught before retail. If you can deal with an ugly piece of tape on the front, don't mind the possibility of having to take a 2-hour break once or twice a month, and don't mind paying extra, give these a look.

I just purchased this item along with a Samsung UN55C7000 and a Samsung BD-C6900. Let me just say, it's amazing. It came with a free movie, Monsters vs Aliens. The movie looks amazing on the TV.
The glasses didn't need any pairing or calibration as some people claim that it needs. It's just as simple as turning on the glasses. The 3D quality is top notch, however I've experienced a few 'glitches' so far. During different parts of the movie, I'll notice a 3D shadow of whatever item is on the screen. For example, in the beginning of the movie there is a church in a scene. The image of the church felt like as if the glasses weren't working correctly. The 3D was working, but it felt like it wasn't a clear 3D picture. Let me try to explain it a little different. You know when you have a 3D movie on the screen without the glasses? How you can see a blur of an image all together for each eye? When you put on the glasses, that image becomes one right? Well, imagine that image not coming together 100%. Having an "edge" of a blur and that's the issue I'm experiencing.
I've tried the other set of glasses only to have the same outcome. I've called Samsung to troubleshoot my issue and considering it's a new product, they said they have to call me back in 24-48 hours to see what's wrong. Oddly enough, I went to a local Best Buy and tried the exact same setup, except this time using the Rechargeable Samsung glasses, rather than the battery operated ones I have. I didn't experience the same issue. I've tried shifting settings around on both the TV and the Bluray player and have yet to get a fix for it. I'll update this post as more information comes.

okay so the glasses seem like pretty good quality and the picture quality is amazing. I will add that it seems a little dark but a simple brightness adjustment fixed that for the most part. My problem with this product is that you have to send a voucher in to get your movies I did this online and it was very simple to do the problem is it said it will take 10 to 12 weeks to delivery I see no reason for it to take that long as there is not a lot of 3d contant right now and you would think that samsung would want me to be able to enjoy my movies as soon as possible considering how much money I gave them
