Better than the real thing
|
Pros: Much more reliable and easier to use than the Samsung rechargeable glasses. No recharging needed. They work!
Cons: Replaceable battery. Heavier
I am disgusted with the Samsung brand 3D glasses. I've had 6 sets including 2 I've returned. Some times they charge sometimes not. Even if they charge they often don't work. The monoprice glasses are much better at about 1/2 the price. They sync with the TV and turn off automatically when the 3D stops. They provide the same quality of 3D image as the Samsung glasses at 1/10 the hassle.

Better than the ones that came from Samsung
|
These glasses are more comfortable than the glasses that came with my Samsung TV. The weight it seems, is more evenly distributed from the nose to ears. As well, I like the fact they are bigger frammed on the sides, which ends up blocking the distracting environment on either side of the viewer.

Had hoped they worked with Panasonic 2012 plasmas - they don't
|
Pros: Comfortable if you're not wearing glasses Includes cleaning cloth and protective sack
Cons: Not usable with glasses Somewhat ugly
I know that these glasses say they are for 2012 Samsung TVs, but I knew that the 2012 Panasonic 3D plasmas used the same "Full HD 3D" spec for glasses as the Samsungs, and that many Panasonic owners buy the Samsung glasses. So I was curious to see if these would work with my 2012 Panasonic VT50 plasma set.
At first it looked as if they did - they do pair with the TV and, looking through the glasses the "double image" you get resolves to a single one. But what I soon found out was that I was seeing only the image for the left eye - through the right lens I just got a blank image (not dark, just a light gray screen on a 3D test display.) Oh well. I am NOT using this incompatibility in my rating.
Ignoring the above, the Monoprice glasses are rather large and clunky looking, with a bright blue frame. They are comfortable to wear if you're NOT wearing glasses, but if you are, they can't sit close enough to the lenses (at least not on me), and I found that my glasses tended to hit the power button on the 3D glasses!
It's nice that a cleaning cloth and microfiber protective sack is included. The glasses run off a coin cell battery that is easily replaced.

Work just fine
|
Pros: Relatively inexpensive. Comfortable.
I've only used these glasses once so far, but long enough to say they feel comfortable and work just as well as the borrowed, expensive ones I'v used. I own a Samsung D8000 plasma and reccommend these glasses for this TV.
