Official Monster Vision Max 3D Thread - Page 33

To use the Max 3D setup, your VT50 has to have either a VESA 3D connector (this looks like a PC mouse or S-video port), or use IR to trigger its glasses. According to the user manual on the Panasonic website, the VT50 doesn't have a VESA 3D connector and uses Bluetooth to run its glasses. The Max3D is RF, but not Bluetooth. Sorry, but I think you're out of luck and should probably return them and get the Panasonic glasses.

Hello,thanx for the tips next time i will check before.

Hello,thanx for the tips next time i will check before.

RR, today I am finally ordering replacement 3d glasses due to the disappointing chargeless Monster glasses.

1) Are we 100% certain that the below Optoma glasses from Amazon are the "exact" same as the Curt Palm glasses and WILL work with the old monster RF emitter like the CP?

2) Is the pairing with the old Monster emitter automatic or does it manually have to be paired. If so can you link me or state how to pair them?

Thanks!!

They appear to be the same, but the photos don't show all angles. If you get them, and the power switch is a round button on the underside of the right temple, they should be the same. Pairing should happen as soon as the glasses are turned on with the transmitter active. Be advised that this may load older firmware from your emitter into the new glasses, potentially knocking out some of the new glasses' features such as easy lens reversal by momentarily pressing the power switch.

The older glasses are fully compatible with the newer emitter, so I have no reason to think the new glasses won't be compatible with the older emitter.

Thanks. Ordered the glasses yesterday. I didnt get the new emitter because it is not usb. The emitter has a cable that is for Optoma projectors (I believe it is a vesa cable). I didnt feel like having a custom cable made as I need usb powered so it works with my Sony SXRD.

Endless troubles with this Monster crap, doesn't work properly, so buggy, now the glasses don't turn on when synced, there just black.

Never charges correctly, POS, don't buy it trust me.

Noisy buzzing noise coming from battery area.


How to revert back to the original firmware?

Actually, you can power the new emitter via USB. It's what has to be done when using an IR sensor instead of a VESA connector, like in the Monster setup. The new emitter seems identical to the old one, except for the firmware and the colors of the LEDs.

Think maybe it's why Monster bailed out? The new ones (Optoma and VIP) are MUCH better.

I'm having some trouble. The emitter shows full green lights, but the glasses will flicker, turn very black, and just not seem to work. I thought it was just the glasses themselves, so I bought some Optoma ones here.

But the Optoma ones are doing the exact same thing. Is it the emitter maybe? Everything worked when I first bought the kit, about 4 to 5 hours worth of content, but nothing since then.

What content? I've noticed when I play back sbs or ou content through my WDTV I get flickering sometimes, but Frame packed works flawlessly.

So far, I viewed the two later Final Destination movies without problem. Tonight I tried to watch Tangled. All through an older 'fat' PS3.

I have a fat PS3 too and no flickering when playing through it, so perhaps it's the emitter. Have you upgraded the firmware? You could try to do a factory reset on the emitter and see if that helps.

Well, I tried the factory defaults, and then a firmware upgrade, and the glasses no longer get super-dark. However, they still don't sych up properly. The image will look right for a few seconds, but then it will look as if I wasn't wearing the glasses as all, and then look normal again.

Thanks for the advice, but I guess the receiver is beyond repair.

It may be your display. Some don't correctly lock to the input signal. The transmitter does, and so the sync between the glasses and display can drift, causing the kind of issue you're having.

This is what I had to do, factory reset of BOTH the emitter and glasses, then you must power on the glasses and sync them up, cause the emitter will upload the old or new firmware before you can use them.

This fixed my problem ^^^

Turn on PJ > play 3D movie > turn on glasses = working every time now. (Now don't freaking touch anything, lol)

Still not happy with the buzzing, but for me it's no problem cause I use headphones with the SVS A8 Realiser, so I cannot hear the buzzing while watching movies.

Tried another factory reset of the emitter and both pairs of glasses with no luck. I'm not sure what else to try.

Is there another system like the MonsterVision kit?

Hello,

I'm hoping I can get some insight.

I have a Sharp 90" TV and bought 2 pairs of the MonsterVision glasses.

The transmitter only showed the moving red light. I tried both transmitters and same situation. I tried placing the receiver at many locations... No luck.

I read about the firmware upgrade process and thought I'd try that. A previous thread mentioned that the Sharp codes were updated.

I followed the upgrade process exactly. The screen said upgrade was completed and to unplug and plug in the transmitter again.

When I did so the PC no longer recognized the transmitter. The transmitter does not have any lights on it when plugged into the TV.

It has basically been bricked I think.

I tried the factory reset option by moving the joystick to the left. That did nothing but turn on one red LED.

Any ideas. I emailed Monster.
