What is the 3D quality like? pop-out and depth? I understand they are passive glasses to me that would be a minus i would think

Honestly, I think it's amazing. I've been hating 3D movies in theater lately because they don't seem to work most of the time. But the 3D with this TV works really well. I tested Tron Legacy, and it was pretty mind blowing. It is more like the TV is a window and you are peering in to action taking place on the other side of the wall. I think it is just the movie, but I don't recall many things flying at my face. As for games, I tested Wipeout, a Killzone demo and a racing game demo on PS3. Wipeout blew my mind, especially with it being an older game. The 3D really contributed to the sense of speed. The Killzone demo was neat and worked, but I found it hard to focus during a lot of the movement and I'm not a big console FPS fan, the 3D didn't add much to the experience here but it definitely worked. The racing game looked really neat and I had a few awesome moments where the 3D caused a reaction. The glasses themselves are really light and fairly comfortable. I'm glad the TV came with these instead of anything bulky, or wired like I saw a few years ago. Other than testing after I got the TV, I haven't really messed with the 3D much. The TV as is looks good enough for me in 2D.

Passive 3D is a plus, imo. Besides the lighter/cheaper/no-recharge glasses, the image is brighter. And it appears just as smooth/hi-res as the active 3D because each eye sees a picture 100% of the time and the eye interpolates, whereas shutter glasses have each eye closed half the time. No weird flickering or fatigue with the passive 3D,and (on my 42" Vizio) the 3D really pops and looks pretty nice.

I actually didn't buy this TV for the 3D, but we really enjoy it. No problem with the passive glasses. We see a lot of movies in 3D at the theatre, and the 3D on this TV definitely rivals it.

It is my understanding that they will only work with Sharp. They work very well, but as you know, they're not cheap. I haven't experienced 3D with any non-active glasses, but from what I read, active systems are better. I think you'd better look for glasses that are specifically designed for the TV you have. Good luck!

SG 47" with passive glasses - excellent results with strong 3D effect. convergence is around 7-8 foot and the 3D effect is noticeable at a much longer range than I expected. Side by side doesn't produce the sharpest images. Fantastic for the price. http://youtu.be/pEm1l7sJgHQ

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.

3D is pretty good I have found some cross talk when you watch it in very tight angles but for most part it is very good and I prefer it over active shutter.

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.

I have never used the 3D feature, so I have no idea. Not a fan of 3D until they figure a way to get rid of the glasses altogether. Good luck.

It works just like a regular 2D flat screen when watching regular programing. The TV ask if you want to view a program in 3D when it detects 3D programing. As for the quality itself its actually very good. If You are really close to the TV however you can see the lines from the picture being split. This I understand is common with passive 3D televisions. Overall I've been happy thus far with my purchase and have really enjoyed the 3D. By the way, you can also turn off the 3D manually With the 3D button on the remote.

I don't think they do to badly. I do wear glasses and though no 3d specks I have found are great in that area these do as well, or better, than most IMO.

I honestly can't remember how I got them to work. I think there is an option in the Optoma menus that state what mode of 3D to use. I happened to find DLP Link was one of the options, but this was after about an hour of messing around with it. To be completely honest I sent these glasses back because of the comfort issue. I ended up going with a model from Quantum. Much more comfortable, and I don't feel like I'm looking under them. Once you get the projector set up properly you won't need to mess with it anymore. 2D movies will play normally and it will automatically go back to DLP Link when it detects a 3D signal. After you get the projector into DLP Link mode, keep in mind there is an 'invert mode' some movies you may need to press the power button once or twice to flip between modes, otherwise the picture looks funny. I can't explain it, but you will probably recognize it when you see it. It's like instead of projecting out towards you it's projecting in away from you. Good luck getting it set up. Again it took me awhile to figure it out, but hopefully you will have better luck.

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.

The glasses don't have to be connected. Each glass opens and closes one of the eyes very fast (you won't notice) and this is how the 3D picture is made. Best is to check youtube with the words "3d shutter glasses" you'll find a bunch of videos explaining to you.Also the amount of people watching isn't important, since the glasses aren't connected with the TV. I also have a Samsung TV and they work fine. Just remember you have to charge them before watching a movie.

I'm not impressed by the 3D on the tv. You need special powered glasses that have to sync with the TV. There's also image ghosting. My Inlaws have a cheap LG TV and the 3D is much better on that, they can use the glasses that come free at the movie theater and the quality of the 3D is much better than the Sony 3D.

You are good to go as long as its passive 3d, I use them on my vizio 3dhdtv all the time.

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.

Sorry for the delayed response but I just set up my projector a few days ago. Yes these glasses are great!

I believe they will work. I was just at an XD showing and had my 2D glasses in case the 3D was crappy for Guardians of the Galaxy. I never pulled them out because the 3D was really effective in that one. Next time I'll remember to try it out to know for sure and post here unless someone beats me to it.
