We purchased the Samsung PN63C8000 TV & received 2 of these glasses with the kit & purchased 2 more @ $149.00 each + tax. When we got home & watched the primary 3D movie,excitement filled the room. Within an hour I realized there was a severe problem. Everyone kept having dissimilar difficultnesses @ dissimilar times. IE: loosing sync with the TV, Colors fading in & out, Color shifts from red / blue & green… We returned the glasses & got a new kit(2pair) & swapped the purchased pairs out. Same problem with 3/4 pair. I’ll get to the point here to save a (little) time. After multiple calls & Trips to the seller, I googled the problem & found similar experiences & some tips to resolve them.( Which I’ve included below) Some difficulties persisted so I contacted Samsung, which had the BEST attitude & ease of contacting tech support I’ve ever experienced with a major manufacturer. Through experience,other user tips & Samsung recommendations we now have the best 3D set up I’ve seen. Try the following. I personally commend in the order listed: Or Just skip to the Summary at the bottom for the conclusion:::
#1. First, Your Samsung 3D TV has an IR (infrared) emitter. On the PNxxC8000 series you will see a little rectangle red lens located on the front lower right & lower left of your set. The one on the right is for your remote control. The left is the emitter. Make sure when using the glasses your line of sight to THIS emitter is not blocked. Also, gently clean the surface of the emitter if any dust or sticky residue( as was in my case) is noticed over it. Then , while playing a 3D movie, walk up to emitter with glasses off(remember, lower left side on this set),cup your hands around it blocking the light from the TV,place your eye close to it, & you ought to see what appears to be a little ceaseless glowing dim red light within the unit. OR, if you have a cell phone with a camera, place it near the emitter in camera mode & you ought to see a “whitish” light glowing from the emitter on your cell/camera screen. Either way, if the light blinks on & off the emitter is faulty & glasses will loose sync intermittently. If it is not glowing at all, the glasses will not work at all. Call Samsung client support if you find a problem here, & arrange for it to be changed out.
#2. Replace the batteries that came with the glasses with new CR2025 Lithium batteries(Duracell was commended by Samsung) I could not find any locally but got a great deal on them @ Amazon.com. Temporarily I employed Energizer CR2025′s I found @ WalMart & that principally bettered things but this alone will not solve the problem.
#3. This is the portion that is discouraging and hindering as it appears to implicate a flaw in design.Located on the front of your glasses, on the nose/bridge there is a little rectangle shaped plastic lens.This is the IR receiver for the glasses. Unfortunately,the plastic while semi-transparent is likewise reflective.Scene changes, bright scenes, or reflections on the screen,brighter ambient light or lighting in the room may confuse the sensor & cause the glasses to loose sync with the emitter. SOLUTION: I’ve tried assorted methods to resolve this but at last found one that worked GREAT. Cut a little piece of electrical tape so that it may be placed over the IR receiver on the glasses. It needs to cover all but approximately 1mm at the top & bottom of the little IR receiver. It will take a couple of tries to get the fit just right. For me, I cut the piece longer than the receiver is to have something to hold on to while centering it in place. It’s OK to cover the Left & Right edges completely. Just make sure you have the 1mm space exposing the sensor at the top & bottom. ( FYI: 1mm is with regards to the width of the wire used in a spiral notebook, so, not much). The glasses will sync without disturbance using this method until you turn completely away from the TV but they speedily regain sync after facing the set again.
#4. Please note that I have had great success using what I’ve described here but out of 8 pairs of glasses, I had 2 pairs that begun to have dramatic color changes after uninterrupted use of 1-2 hours. This was merely a case of a faulty processor in the glasses themselves & I returned them as well.
***SUMMARY*** This is a comparatively new engineering science & while other brands may not have the sync issues described here, I have tried 2 other brands in my home & expended innumerable hours viewing, researching etc. before resolving on Samsung. The 3D effects invented by these glasses when matched with the set I noted above are unsurpassed in my opinion. I likewise own other less pricey glasses that carry out satisfactorily, but there is unquestionably a dandier sensed depth of field & a richness of color that these glasses construct that I have found no where else.
I’ve tried to present you with a good review of the glasses as well as solutions to the difficulties you may face with them. If I could do it all over again…AND I may as I’m still within the seller’s return policy, I’d choose the precise same set up…HANDS DOWN : ), Thanks, David

enough with the gripers
By Venomous Viper
technology inventions are going to cost more at the leading edge … i have seven children at home, assorted grand children and grand parents who have all come over and watched the 3d movie (only one so far) … we even watch a heap of 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 effortlessly 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 various 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 may have that in an animation film) … just the person hairs on the moth … the a good deal of times you just put your hand out there cause you believe you may closely touch the picture … just extremely pleasing … perchance not for everyone, but out of the sixty or so humans who have watched at our house, not one of them was not impressed and every one wants to know when we are getting our next 3d movie (more than likey meatballs this month) … there has always been those who put engineering down or believe everything must be indestructable and a cheap price … well, the car, television, computer and galore other advances have get over those that are negative, (of course numerous advances have failed miserably) … but my counsel is to judge for yourself, i know a couple of box and division stores that have the tv and glasses for demonstrations … take the time and see for yourself …

Excellent
By Brett Hente
These glasses are likewise compatible with the mitsubishi 3d kit. The glasses use CR2025 batteries that are easy to change. If the glasses die on you for the duration of a movie you may quickly alter the battery and be back watching in seconds VS waiting for you to charge up the rechargable ones.
