Awesome, I've got a PS50C7000. They should make such that you need to upload a receipt of your TV so there isn't any Brodening.

      Really? The article you linked to said that the Toshiba Glasses free 3DTV was underwhelming and they thought it would be hard to compete with the active shutter 3DTVs that are out now. Personally, I don't mind the glasses and I find the glasses free 3D on my 3DS to be fairly unreliable, whereas my 3DTV seems to hit the mark everytime.

  woa … i don't have a tv, and missus only has a 17" that her brother paid $20 for it ( 2yrs ago ). Don't you have anything better to spend $ on ? oh no, we (as the PM said) need consumers's "confident" in the retailer market…

the fact these glasses only work on 2010 models just show how poorly 3D was implemented in the first place

Josh81 on 02/09/2011 - 02:03 ¶

My housemate bought a Samsung 51" Plasma FullHD in June or July, i'm not sure if it is a 2010 model, or 2011. He's got 2 pairs of glasses already.

I don't think these are compatible, they look different. Are they bluetooth?

Apparently they are infrared.

By the way, I think something like Samsung, Sony, Panasonic etc. are working on a standard for 3D glasses so we don't have this incompatibility bs in the future.

I don't care too much for 3D anyway though..
Timski on 02/09/2011 - 06:28 ¶

Guess I'll just wait till they do the same thing with the 2011 models…

  I take your TV will be PS58C7000. Just check the model sticker at the back of TV. If it is, these 3D glasses are for you. I got PS58C7000 and PS50C7000. Yes, two, one for living room and one for family room. Called them to get 5 pairs. They are busy and ask me to leave a name and phone number to call me back. Will see.

Wasn't greedy. only went for an even 4 pairs :)

FFS, the automated phone system keeps disconnecting me. I've made 7 calls, all disconnected within 1 minute.
sparkyglo on 02/09/2011 - 09:07 ¶

I have been trying for the last 1/2 hour, have been disconnected every time from about 1 min to 5 mins, one time I even got someone say "Hi, one moment please" and put me back on hold!
Edit: finally got through. She only took basic details as they are so busy and said they will call back later to confirm other details and process order.
davemc on 02/09/2011 - 09:09 ¶

I have been cut off 7-8 times now, Starting to irk me I understand being on hold although just cutting off calls is not great.
chromium on 02/09/2011 - 09:10 ¶

I keep getting disconnected too, it rings for a while and then just hangs up :(

Going to cost more in phone calls than the glasses at this rate, luckily I'm doing it at work :)

Edit: Yay, got through, on hold now.

Argh, after a few minutes on hold I got cut off!

This is a joke!

She repeated the number back to me as she was typing it, but I'm still not confident.
I sent an email as well just in case.
