Given that I just ordered one pair of the Xpand 102 glasses, will I be able to use both ir glasses and d-link glasses at the same time?

Yes, if you have four eyes.

I don't see why not. The DLP-Link flash is always there, whether or not the emitter is being used. Best of both worlds.

I just noticed that the estimated ship time for the adapter only is 3 weeks while the estimated ship time on the entire kit is July. Looks like the adapter only might be ready for the start of the World Cup. Anyone buy anything from 4electronicwarehouse.com before?

I haven't purchased from them before, but I ordered the adapter last night. If there is any trouble, I can always go back to my credit card company. There was free shipping and no tax, so I'm a happy camper so far!

Don't care for the glasses, but I am curious as to what th Disney 3D showcase is.
The part that kind of sucks is it looks like you need muti converters if you are running multi sources, well maybe. Might be able to get away with a cheap switch box after signal goes through the converter.

We have just confirmed with Mitsubishi that the glasses are manufactured by XpanD. Not sure of the actual label branding on the glasses themselves, they may not even have a label on them, but they are definitely manufactured by XpanD.
Update 6/1/2010: A product manager at Mitsubishi asked us to remove that the glasses were made by XpanD... Mitsubishi will not disclose who makes their components.

Also, confirmed with Mitsubishi this morning: The adapter is shipping from Mitsubishi the week of June 14th and the Kit w/ glasses is shipping the week of July 5.

So, I have a 65c9 mitsubishi. What is the benefit of getting the glasses that come with the kit that require an emitter vs the xpand 102's that should just sync with emitter in tv? thanks.

The adapter is for any "3D Ready" Mitsubishi TV built since 2007. 3D ready TVs do not have the IR emitter built in. The 65c9 is a 3D Ready TV and thus does not have the IR emitter.

The adapter is for those who already have 3D glasses while the kit is for those who also need the 3D glasses.

I should've mentioned my source. According to ww.mitsubishi-tv.com/3D.htnl :Q10: I have a Mitsubishi 3D Ready TV, is it compatible to DLP Link glasses?

A10: Yes, all Mitsubishi 3D Ready TVs are compatible with DLP Link glasses. In addition, these TVs have a VESA jack for an external synchronization emitter for non DLP Link glasses. This provides the user with maximum flexibility and choices of glasses.


SO... shouldn't all 3d ready mitsu tv's be compatible with the xpand 102's which do not require an emitter?
And, i have read reports on these forums of users with 737's (expensive c9's) using the xpand 102s with no external emitters... so back to my original question.... why buy an expensive kit when it is cheaper to buy the 102s and the adapter?

It's cheaper at first glance.

102's (2 x $129.99) + adapter ($99) = ~$360

Kit = ~$400

However, the kit comes with a movie and the glasses in the kit have more readily available batteries (102's have proprietary batteries). The 102 batteries also cost about twice as much as the kit batteries.

I'd honestly say you're spending about the same over the life of the product (if not more on the 102's) assuming you have even mild interest in the included movie. Though I'm curious as to whether the Kit glasses are as good as the 102's as that would obviously be a significant knock on the kit.

What batteries are in the xpand glasses provided with the kit? What model are the glasses? Its hard to imagine xpand allowing alot of its profits to go to energizer. So far, for me, I'de rather save the $40 and spend it on batteries. The movie is not likely to get an hour of entertainment out of me as I am no longer a Disney fan. I will laugh if the adapter kit comes with the x102s and an external emitter just to appease those models of tv that do not have one, which as I have stated earlier, would have to be a non mitsubishi 3d ready tv made 2007+ (per mitsubishi faq website). Also, big also, the adapter kit doesn't come out til july 8 whereas the adapter comes out on june 18 (a week into World Cup)! So, if they are similar quality, I'de like to know, why is mitsubishi so hush-hush on details of adapter?

that is not a movie they give you basicly its a demo. and the kit comes with 2 pair of glasses. if you click on the zoom feature then again you will see on the box 2 pair of 3d glasses.

I bought the Panasonic 300 and returned it because of the lack of content. Here's my idea: a) get one pair of the 102's and the adapter to watch world cup and other Directv programs in 3D, and b) get the full kit in July to pick up two more sets of glasses and to use the second adapter for my PS3 when there finally are some 3D BD discs available for the consumer to purchase.

I'm going off the electronicwarehouse link, but the starter pack includes "3 CR2025 batteries" so I am assuming that's the type of battery in the glasses.


The kit just says the glasses are manufactured by Xpand, nothing more so far. They don't look like any of the ones I saw on Xpand's site though.

When did I insinuate the kit didn't come with 2 pairs of glasses?


And I didn't realize it was a demo, I thought it would be an actual movie, so thank you for the correction there.

How is "2 x $129" the cost of 1 pair of glasses? The "2 x" refers to needing to pay $129 twice. That's how I got the total of $360.

Since the kit glasses are Xpand IR with an emitter, does that mean they have to be the 103 model? Were the 101's also IR sync based?
