Can we use these glasses without a projector? I want to watch 3D movies on my HDTV or laptop. Can I somehow use these glasses for that purpose?

These connect via wifi to the projector, i doubt they would work. You might have to use generic glasses that are not electronic.

no. You would have to have a 3D Cinema HDTV and use passive glasses (same as movie theatre). These are Active 3D glasses.

I assume so because my TV and DVD player are both internet enabled so the glasses worked immediately. If I were you, however, I would not get into the current 3D technology because it is not good enough at this point to be worth the cost. It may take a few years to be worth it. I wouldn't have bought the glasses had I known it. Even my 9 and 7 year olds lost interest in 3D after one or two movies.

At this point I cannot recommend these glasses over now existing products. I would checkout Nvidia's 3D Vision instead. Though to answer your question, these glasses have an adapter for a VGA/DSub monitor output (meaning no DVI/HDMI) that acts as a mediator giving a passthrough to your monitor and a syncing signal for the glasses to sync to the monitor refresh. And as mentioned in my review, you need to be careful with using these polarized filter glasses on LCD monitors (which also are polarized), as you'll likely get a very dark or no picture at all. However, either way, you need an external monitor to make it work, these glasses only blank out each eye at one time to sync each eyes view to the proper perspectives frame, they are not video monitors themselves.

They are simple 3 D glasses. I do not think they work "with" anything. I use them to watch 3 D movies on my TV.

As Farts (lol) answered...I believe you should have no problem with this glasses my Viewsonic projector is 120hz and I have two pairs of these now for about 7 months..still really happy with my purchase!

Blu Ray on 3D are great, I would say on par with the theater; it mostly depends on the movie. The active shutter glasses are a little delicate, so store them accordingly. You are also limited to viewing 3D by the number of glasses you have synced with the projector.

I don't wear glasses my self, but I see no reason why you can't use this device with glasses, and Sony says the same thing. You can absolutely hook up any device that uses an HDMI cable.

If the glasses don't work you can return them for a refund. These glasses are only for Imax movies. If you try them while watching a RealD movie they will not work. I'm sorry it's taken so long to answer this question. I didn't realize until today it had been asked.

The short answer is no - but I don't that that is viable with this item. It is glass with an opaque back, and there is glare from ambient light, so it's not likely a projector would be workable.

My tv is viziio 3d , with passive glasses, like the one from the movie theaters, so i use thoses glasses. The unit come with one pair of blue/cyran glasses, i never used.

They probably figured since you would have to get a 3D Blu-ray player, and 3D movies, you would be able to afford the glasses too. It would have been nice for them to include a pair, but you can watch regular TV and Blu-rays just fine. I'm thinking of getting this one; if I do, I'll wait until 3D glasses are more affordable to get them.

No they cannot. They are active 3D glasses. The glasses we wear at the Cinema are passive. Active 3D glasses receive a signal from a 3D TV, or other device, for the 3D effect. I hope this helps.

Your B-I-L is absolutely, positively wrong. 2D TV will work as they would normally. You will need glasses only if you watch 3D programming or chose to watch 2D using Stereoscopic 3D (an option of some 3d capable tvs). I have a Pany TC p54vt25 and 2D is one of the best I have ever seen (w/o glasses).

What others have stated are true. 0 glasses come with the set. I ordered two pair to go with mine and I'd say it was a mistake as i have used them once. There was no real issue with 3D, I just never had any pressing desire to watch 3D content. My suggestion would be to just start with the TV and buy glasses later if you feel you need them.

No. These glasses use DLP link. Whatever device is used to display the 3D has to be dlp link compatible.

The key is that these glasses are for "passive 3d". Both of those products you mention are projectors and as you said are "3d ready". 3d ready is not 3d. It requires another step and another product. If that other product that is being used with your projector is "passive 3d" then these should work with any passive 3d system.

Im not familiar with that projector. These glasses are DLP-Link. Is the projector a DLP or LCD? If DLP, should be fine.
