The glasses are rated for a minimum of 10 feet. Does anyone know if they work at shorter distances? My mother's TV is about 5 feet from her chair.

My mother placed the chair at about 1,70 mts.(5,57 feet I think) from the tv and she has good vision. In the theater she sits in 2 nd /3 rd row and they work very well. I hope this answer helps you. All the best. c

These glasses DID NOT work well @ 5 feet and did not work very well @ any distance for that matter. This item is also overpriced. Finally, be aware that if you need to return these you will pay a big restocking fee and more postage.

These glasses will provide a small amount of magnification and can be used at a 5-foot distance. You did not say what you hoped to accomplish with them, but if they are intended for someone with macular degeneration, don't waste you money.

I tried mine and I could focus at 5 ft, >BUT<, the image is magnified and I can't see the edges of the TV screen.If I was looking at a 12 inch TV, I could probably see the whole screen. No large and still be comfotable watching.

Hello Mr. Adams if your tv has the FULL 3d RF GLASSES logo, the glasses will work just fine. I really hope this info will help. Hope this glasses work for you and have a good day. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The glasses tell you what they are compatible with. Check the specs. We just use on our 3d tv. I'm thinking it can of be used on tv though.

I can not address your specific television and to whether or not these glasses will work with it. If your television is a 3D and it uses the passive system then the glasses should work. If your television uses the active (the glasses are run with batteries) then I do not believe they will work.

First of only me in our family wore them. But I believe the answer to that is no for they are basically line of sight but if you both were sitting in say recliners 5' apart they would still work or a sofa but on both ends they should still work. Hope that answers your question.

Pretty good for average wire-frame glasses. I would give them a try because they are very comfortable once on. Hope this helps.

No, these will give you only a narrow field of vision and magnification, but not clear focus for anything further than your TV set. These will also distort anything near to you.

My husband uses the speakers level with his ears. They hang over his recliner perfectly. The speakers are about 4 inches away from his ears. Beware, they sometimes lose their signal and stop working. I actually sent the first pair back for this reason. The second pair "went out" but then regained their signal. Not really sure what happened. They didn't work one day and then worked the next.

bought this for my father, who is 97 and lives 400 miles away from me. he has a large living room, sits about 35 feet from the TV and it works fine, but he doesn't walk around with it. My guess is it will work for you.

I did not try them from any great distance. I just needed the wireless capability. I only tried from about 5-6 feet. It may be further, but I have no experience with that.

I have mine about 20 feet from the TV. Love this item. I can even plug in a headset if I want

I've never needed to use it for anything more than about 40 feet away. I know it will work much further than that because I've seen it on tv but I'm guessing you would lose definition if you're looking at something small.

The earlier rules of thumb for distance from a tv set were based on lower resolution screens where the issue was 'how far away do I have to be so the lines on the picture aren't visible'. Now the new issue with HDTV is 'how close should I sit for maximum realism'. The answer is in part subjective, and as such there's no exact answer, but a widely used rule of thumb is to take one tenth the screen diagonal in inches and call that the minimum distance in feet, and then increase it 50% for the maximum distance. Somewhere in that zone is optimum. So, for a 70" screen, try not to sit closer than 7' and if you are more than about 10.5' away, you're losing the maximum impact of the viewing experience.

They work fairly well. You should know that most passive 3D tv's don't work as well as active on I max so it's not south the glasses as the technology.

I have used mine with a 32" TV.... They do go most of the height is the TV, but they do not show at all!

It depends on the sensitivity setting and size of object moving as you might expect. That said, I am pleased with my purchase and the effective range that I am utilizing is ~60ft given the restricted area where I have them installed today.
