This was asked in a previous thread, but the answer was given as the XPand-x103 which are the 'Mk1' versions - and much bigger, chunkier and frankly cumbersome.

However, B&O have just released some much better looking 3D glasses (link here) which I fancy, but as ever I'm wondering if there's a cheaper way of getting hold of them.

The first generation glasses sold by B&O were unbranded XPand versions which I managed to track down - but the '2nd Gen' ones which actually look quite nice, I've no idea who makes..

Any ideas?

Besides being lighter and more comfortable, any technological improvements if that's actually possible?

What's the viewing distance on a tv as big as that ?

I'll be sitting about 7ft-8ft away - and the comment about "will I use them more than once" made me laugh as the answer is probably "no"... Laughing

All i need to do now is find a drawer for them to spend the rest of eternity in....

What will you be watching first? Have you got Sky 3D, not sure if it's worth while?

Shrek Forever After - The Final Chapter 3D... then the kids want to watch some Narnia 3D they bought..  

After that the novelty will have probably worn off and we'll be back to 2D Blu-Rays and, as mentioned, the glasses will go in a drawer and never be used again... 

I've got an "Arthur Christmas 3D" which I bought to test the BeoVision 4-85 we had, so that may get a run out in December! 

I think 3D is for "movie nights" to be honest, not for regular Sky...

Keep them handy for when Gravity comes out!

The active system the 11 uses is dreadful, and any sort of lighting will set off an annoying flickering in the periphery of your vision . The passive system as used by LG is miles better, comfortable and of course cheaper.

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

After watching the Wimbledon tennis final in 3d I can say you're not missing much.

Put me off it for life.

Whilst on the subject of 3D, has anyone got a 3D projector? Having read the reviews like this one HERE, seem fairly positive and I must admit I'm a little tempted. 

I actually enjoy 3D though I must admit I have only had experience of watching the big kids animations at the cinema (Ice Age, Croods etc) not so much regular films. At home I'll not use it for every day watching but for family film nights. All the 3D TV's I've seen in stores I find a little headache inducing.

If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
