Question about Panasonic 3D glasses

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. A VT50 instead of a 30. Aren't the BT glasses pretty inexpensive? You could probably sell your old glasses and cover the cost of the new.

OR, I'll trade you a VT30 for your VT50 and we're all happy!

I got my glasses from BLT today. I'm surprised they came through. My order was placed back in March. I would have thought all the 3rd gen. glasses were out and sold by now. A good deal, $122 for 2 pairs.

You can try selling the old 2011 model 3D glasses on EBAY.
There may be others with 2011 Panasonic TVs that want to buy some.

I'm new to the forum, but just thought I'd mention this. If anyone out there needs 3rd generation Panasonic glasses, amazon currently has them in stock for $69.95 with prime shipping(if you're a prime member) it's probably not the best price out there, but IMHO it's a great price from a reputable company.

Wow,

I'm shocked to see all 3 sizes available on Amazon and at those prices. I would have thought all the 2011 glasses would be gone or priced ridiculously high by now. Where were all these glasses back in March??

There doesn't appear to be any shortage as there are plenty of 2011 glasses available on ebay from legitimate sellers in China. The chinese market version of these glasses can be had for under $60.00, and that typically includes free shipping. The chinese model number is TY-EW3D3MC, instead of the North American TY-EW3D3MU - the C at the end indicates China instead of U for US. I ordered a pair which took a couple of weeks to get here. Brand new sealed in the box, and aside from having a chinese manual (you can download the English version of the manual here), all the labelling on the glasses is in English, they work perfectly, and they recharge via USB which has a global standard 5v, so no worries about voltage differences.

Why is that? I bought two from ebay a while back for my ST30 and they work fine. (nothing to compare to since these are my only 3d glasses)

Can't believe it, my order from Provantage has been fulfilled, Nov 17 to Aug 2. They want to know how the service was, I will reply with - you have my complete loalty as a customer for the reason that I just love to wait 9mths for my product to arrive. Flip side, price was good $55. for the 3mu.

Why don't you try some cheaper alternative instead of branded 3D glasses? Such as Xpand, SainSoinc,and Panny. The lenses of the Sainsonics appear to be slightly larger, the Sainsonic frames are a bit thicker. While viewing I can see the frames of both Sainsonic and Panny equally, but neither obscure the picture. I can see the entire screen with either set, no need to move my head up or down, left or right (65” from 10’ away). The Sainsonics have taller sides which offer slightly less side view distractions.

Sainsonic and Panny has the same 3D image, depth.

Sainsonic comes with 3 nose pieces, a storage bag and lens cloth. Panny comes with nothing.

Hmmm, why does this sound familiar?
