Hello, are these glasses good for 3D movies at the theater and do they have lighter or darker lens compared to the cheap theater 3D glasses?

No, these 3D glasses cannot be used at the movie theater - it's an entirely different technology. Theaters use the cheaper red/green lens. The high-tech 3D glasses uses either DLP or Infra red - good for home 3D theaters.

Hi. I honestly can't say if these would work at the theater with 3D movies because these glasses need to connect to a DLP source such as TV's and/or projectors. I think what the theaters use are "PASSIVE" meaning they don't use batteries (lenses are blue and red) while these glasses are "ACTIVE" (using batteries to control the lenses using refresh rate). So I'm not sure if these would work in the theaters. One thing for sure is that when it's in the "OFF" position, the lenses are clear. When you switch it in the "ON" position, the lenses turn dark. I hope I answered your questions. Hi. I honestly can't say if these would work at the theater with 3D movies because these glasses need to connect to a DLP source such as TV's and/or projectors.

As far as I understand it, Yes these glasses will work in a Theater showing 3D movies. Can;t hurt to bring them with you since they are small and weight next to nothing.

Although these are very good, I'd recommend the LG AG-F220 Cinema Clip On 3D Glasses for over glasses use. They are LG but work with other brands of passive 3d TVs (mine are used with a Vizio set).

Yes, they work great! They work the exact same as the polarized 3d glasses you get at the imax 3d. At least at my iMax theater. Some have switched to shutter 3d glasses, which are different. Check first with your iMax theater to see which they use.

1st answer is Yes thet are active rechargeable 3d glasses. I have Sharp glasses and they work great. I did see cheaper aftermarket glasses online but I didnt want to take a chance with a product that may not be as good. I suggest you get them from a store that you can return them to if your not satisfied. Good Luck!

I haven't tried them for that, but I would guess so. The dark lens version would be too dark in low light, but they seem sturdy enough.

The lenses are hard plastic. However they do not work for IMAX 3D, which is the sole reason i bought them. The fit and finish is on par with any inexpensive pair of sunglasses, which is to say the quality is much better than the crap they hand out at theaters. What type of 3D do they work for? I don't know, I threw them away since the only 3D i watch is IMAX.

The dark tint is inherit to the fact that you are watching the movie through a filter. With tradition 3D glasses, this is a X and Y filter. X filters out the X frequency frame (left eye) and the Y filters out the other.. thus providing the artificial stereo dimension to the picture. The 2D glasses work exactly the same way, the only difference is that they box filter out X.. leaving only Y, thus providing a mono picture (flat). If dark screens are a problem for you, I'd recommend forgoing the 3D sessions and enjoying a cheaper and brighter cinematic experience.

As well as any other 3D glasses from a movie theater. Bought them for a friend and he hasn't had any issues.

This should do just fine in the theater. I think this is my favorite binocular because it can focus up close and far away. The physical size is not small like an "opera glass" but small enough to carry in a small purse or bag to go the theater.

I believe so, I have the LM7200 and they work for my set. You can also re-use the Movie theater glasses they give you at the 3D movies if you wanted to keep a few extra pairs around.

These glasses are great! My Panasonic AE-8000U projector came with two pair of official 3D Viera Panasonic glasses. I built a theater room, with seating for ten people, and ordering glasses for all of these people would have cost me hundreds of dollars, so I ordered one pair of these (cost under $15). The image they show is virtually identical to the official Panasonic glasses. These are slightly larger, and maybe a tad less comfortable, but they do come with three different nose pieces - haven't tried them all. Nevertheless, the image and the savings are well worth the tiny sacrifice - so I could order enough for my entire audience, and save lots of money, getting the same image. These glasses are great!

You will notice that the lenses on the glasses will go darker when they are connected. Do you have to select 3d in the menu option of your tv or remote?

I hope these glasses should work. Before buying,Kindly check in the menu for 3D, if you find "DLP-link" in the options then there should not be any problem.

I got four with the TV if I remember correctly but I also ordered a bunch on Amazon. When it comes to glasses these are the same as the movie theater, not the crazy expensive electronic kind with batteries a plug, a wall socket and a kitchen sink, if you look you can find these in boxes for cheap, I think I found a batch of 10 for 10 bucks on Amazon. You break a set, throw em away, they are not expensive.

Yes! And I have 20/20 vision. (Nearly 50 years old and don't need glasses to to read either) I said all that to say this; Somehow these glasses enhance 3D experience when watching Blu ray 3D. Standard passive 3D glasses like LG for instance do not compare to these Oakleys. and I'm sure there are better ones out there... but I am completely satisfied with these Oakleys. Good luck!

I purchased the Samsung SSG-4100GB glasses for about $20.00. The small coin battery seems to last forever. While I haven't watched any 3D movies with them, my soon and I have played Assassin's Creed III and other 3D-aware games for extended durations and enjoyed the immersion of the 3D effects. I might get the more expensive glasses when I'm less worried about teenager damage.
