I just bought a second pair of these glasses and the left lens doesn't work. Is it just defective or something I can do to turn it on?

Thanks,
Mike

Has anyone got these to work with the Mitsubishi HC7800 using the IR to RF dongle?

I know you can cut/solder a new connector in and plug it directly into the projector but was hoping to get it to work without resorting to that.

I also know in theory it should work with most IR 3d emitters using the ir to rf dongle but hc7800 uses a proprietary IR system that seems to not be compatible with most systems so I need real world experiences.

This seems to be the latest. It updates your transmitter and glasses to the VIP version, which is the OEM software.

I have 2 of the Monstervision Max 3D glasses and I, like evidently many others, have issues with them staying charged. Every time I try to use them, I try turning them on and nothing happens. I have to plug them in to get a charge, then try turning them on.....a real pain.

Guess Monstercable is no longer supporting these glasses since I cant find anything on their website anymore about them, let alone a link for any firmware updates. Is there a way to fix the charging issue? They worked great but if I cant turn them on they are useless!

I purchased a Xpand YOUniversal pair yesterday and they seem to work great. Now wondering if they would work with the Monster RF transmiter since the Xpand ones come with a RF dongle you can add.

Thanks for any info anyone can give me...especially on the Monster glasses!

Tried the Xpand YOUniversal glasses last night and they worked great. The only difference I could tell was the size of the lenses. I liked the fact that the Monster ones were bigger...but that might just be my personal taste. As far as operation of the Xpand, it was very simple. Plugged them into my PC via USB and updated the firmware which took probably 40 secs or so. Let them sit and charge as well. I liked the fact that on the Xpand the light turns to green when fully charged, while the Monster ones were confusing to me. Especially if I try to use them and they wont freakin turn on! The on/off button the Xpand was much easier to use. The Monster one is terrible, which I told a Monster rep over the phone when I purchased them. I could tell really no difference in 3D quality between the Xpand and Monster really. I got a medium size Xpand glasses and ordered a large last night to compare. The medium seemed to fit my 7 year old a little better than me, but that might be because I have a big head! Hah

Does the xpand sync to the monster transmitter? Thanks for the info.

Not sure yet since I dont have the RF Dongle for the Xpand glasses.

So, what happened with Monstervision Max 3D??? Did they just top making them or what? Anyone know about the charging issue?

Thanks

I'd be willing to bet it doesn't. The list of compatible devices on Xpand's website shows some Samsung and Panasonic TVs for RF devices, and IIRC, they use Bluetooth or the newer FHD3D RF spec. The Monster/VIP/Optoma glasses and transmitters use Zigbee, a different RF format.

Do the newer VIP/Optoma glasses work with the old Monster emitter? I'd love to pick up a couple more pair of these, but not the MONSTER version, and I'd want to use the same emitter. I've got 3 pair now, and 2 of the 3 die after about 3 days. The other pair seems to hold charge for about 2 weeks.

The xpand glasses aren't RF capable out of the box?

Yes and no. Only if you buy the kit with the plug-in RF dongle included. Then it has to be installed on a receptacle on one of the glasses' temples. Without that dongle, they aren't RF capable.

Has anyone compared the Monster emitter to the new Vip/Bit C/Optoma emitter? If I have the old Monster emitter but getting the new Optoma glasses...anything to be gained by purchasing the new emitter?

The new emitter has presets for different display types to make tweaking a bit easier, and in some cases, unnecessary. It also will install new firmware in your old glasses the first time they are powered up after it's installed.

Thanks. Sounds like the new emitter could be worth it. Is there a projector mode on the emitter for dlp and sxrd/lycos? Or is there just a projector category?

It goes by light-producing technology: LED, Plasma, DLP, CRT. And, it can also be tuned with the 3D management utility app from VIP, Monster, et al. That's what I do. Just make sure you don't accidentally try to install the older firmware that's included with the app.

Ok thanks Rolls.

Does anyone know if these glasses each come packed with the RF emitter?

After hearing about how the Monsters helped with the crosstalk on some folks' sets, I went and bought a pair. After several days of adjusting them watching various titles, here's my conclusion: the 3D on my TV is shite. (Either that or it's my eyes.) One second it looks incredible, the next scene is full of crosstalk, which I can't fix no matter what I do. If I change the settings on the glasses or TV or BD player to 'fix' a bad looking scene, it then throws the next good looking scene out of whack. If I'm being generous the Monsters maybe make the crosstalk that little bit more transparent than the standard Sony spex, but it's still there.

It's pathetic that there still isn't a proper 3D calibration disc available. Not that it'd make much difference in my case I guess, but it'd be nice to have an objective set of standards to compare my Sony 55HX823 to, confirming that the 3D is crap once and for all, instead of driving myself crazy thinking that I *might* be able to get it to look good most (if not all) of the time.

Hi, Geoff. You may be seeing something first reported by users of the VIP 3D units, and it is that the display is not locking to the incoming video signal. This causes a variation in sync between the display and the glasses, which is partly responsible for the swings in crosstalk levels you're describing. I have a theory that the failure to lock to the signal is related to the set's "120/240 Hz" frame-interpolation routines for smoothing motion. Since your set appears to be a 3D-capable model, it's strange that you have the problem with the Sony glasses as well.

BTW, you can have changes in crosstalk from program to program and source to source.

Nope. Those do not. A pair of glasses with the emitter will generally set you back about $120 or so.

I purchased my VIP-branded glasses and emitter from a vendor in Canada.

Hello everyone,

First sorry for my bad english but i ll try to explain myself the best i can.I recently purchase a 3d vison max kit to try it with my panasonic vt 50 plasma,first i upgrade the emitter then charge the glasses and put it to work.
But when the glasses try to connect to the emitter i have a very dark picture and the 3d effect don't work.I try different setting (bluray disc and mkv sbs file) but neither of them work.
Do you think something is broken in my kit or it could a problem with inteference with something elses,or just not compatible with my tv.

thanks for helping me.
