RetroDepth LT Lightweight Rechargeable DLP Link 3D Glasses for all DLP 3D Projectors (Benq, Optoma, Acer, Vivitek, Dell Etc) by Evolv3Dimensions (2 Pack)

Not seeing if anyone had actually tested these on the AWOL series of 3 laser projectors, I was a little reluctant but so far, no issues. After trying the AWOL glasses, I tried these on, and they worked just fine with no noticeable difference at a much more affordable price. I'll give them a go for a few weeks and probably add a couple more to our inventory.I do wish they were a little larger in size both in arm length to fit over prescription glasses and in the frame size.

I'll preface this by saying that this is one of my first reviews on this site, but here it goes:I've had these glasses for several days now and from my somewhat limited experience and by watching two movies with them I can tell you that they work exactly as described. These are not top-of-the-line glasses, so they aren't perfect. But if you are looking to get some solidly working 3D glasses for cheap then I haven't found any that are better value (or really just cheaper at all) than these.They are not really sturdy but they get the job done well. The nose-piece isn't perfect but with a little adjustment while wearing them they are fairly comfortable. They also aren't very wide as others have stated but I haven't had a single problem seeing my entire screen comfortably.The glasses work perfectly from my experience. They sync up instantly and have not lost sync once. The button on top is easy to use and the LED is very visible.My setup: Optoma HD25e projecting onto a 125" screen with the main sitting area roughly 10' away from the screen. All I had to do to get everything working was to change the 3D mode in the projector to "DLP Link" (only have to do once), fire up a movie, switch the 3D mode on using the button on the remote (to SBS or OU), and turn on the glasses. They work great.Summary: Not perfect but for the money I don't think you'll find anything better. They work... what else do you want?

I'd give them 3.8 stars if I could, but we're all familiar with the limitations of Amazon's rating system, so round it up to 4!As a point of reference, my other 3D glasses are the previous generation True Depth 3D. As such, I can't help but compare them to these new Firestorms. I can certainly recommend these, but with a few caveats... In the interest of full disclosure, I did receive 2 pairs for free for the purposes of review and evaluation. Skip to the bottom for the tl;dr version if you're impatient, or if you're interested in the equipment used and what material I tested with...The first thing I noticed was a substantial difference in the weight: these new Firestorms are a svelte 28 grams, versus the 44 of the old version. At first blush, that might not seem like much, but it makes a huge difference in comfort for extended viewing sessions. The old versions would begin to cause me pain at the bridge of my nose and tops of my ears after a couple hours. With the Firestorms, I did a marathon (for me!) gaming session of 4 hours straight with no discomfort from the glasses ergonomics (just my own eyestrain, same as I would have from 2D viewing). Big kudos for the improved comfort!Much of the saved weight comes from a pared-down frame, but the lenses are also slightly smaller in the Firestorms than in the previous version. That leads me to my first small gripe, and it's probably a personal preference thing: I notice a lot more going on outside the glasses with the Firestorms than I did with the previous generation. At some point, you settle in and tune that nonsense out, but if you're like me (I've got some eye focus issues that make me have to work to see 3D well), anything that draws your eyes outside the glasses is distracting. I definitely recommend you have the theater as dark as possible (I'm in a basement with no windows, so I have full light control) to minimize this.One of the downsides to current 3D technology, especially with front projection, is the fact that the lenses cut much of the available brightness out of the picture. Recognizing this, the Firestorms appear to have improved the amount of light that is passed through the glasses as compared to the previous gen. I say appears only because I lack the proper test equipment to accurately quantify the difference. This is my opinion based on rapidly A-Bing between the two models, but it really is noticeable. If your setup is already pushing the edge of image brightness in 3D, the Firestorms will help you eke out every last lumen...Perhaps related to the increased brightness, however, is the unfortunate bleed-through of the "red flash". If you don't know, DLP sync technology flashes the screen red periodically to help the glasses synchronize correctly. In theory, both lenses will be "closed" when the flash occurs, so you won't see it. With my setup, at least, the red is bleeding through, giving everything a red tint. Once I stop being critical and start paying attention to the movie, I don't notice the shifted colors anymore, but it is a bit jarring on those opening scenes that fade in from black. The previous gen did not exhibit this behavior, but did pass less light. If you're a real critical viewer, you'll notice, and have to make a decision if that's a trade-off you're willing to live with. To get an unbiased opinion, I handed them to my daughter (10) and wife (whose age shall remain undisclosed to protect my well being...) with no instructions, and had them watch some scenes which included fades to black, along with other sequences. I got no comments whatsoever (aside from some snide commentary from my wife regarding the inappropriateness of the Avengers and the Harry Potter scenes for our daughter!). When questioned later, they had not noticed the redness at the time (of course, they see it now that I've told them what to look for... Ignorance truly is bliss!) If you're the kind that just loses themselves in the film, as long as you can see what's going on, then this could be a non-issue. I'll try to do some viewing with a different display to see if it's isolated to the w1070. If/when I do, I'll update this review.The killer feature of both the previous and this generation is, oddly enough, the ability to cancel out the 3D. The glasses can be put into a mode where they pass only the left or only the right image to both eyes. This removes the parallax, which cancels the 3D effect, basically turning the movie into a 2D affair. Why, you ask, is this a feature?!?! As mentioned earlier, I have to work to see 3D, and some days it just isn't going to happen without giving me a wicked headache. But when everyone else wants to see the movie in 3D, I would either have to be a party pooper and say no, or go grab the pain meds and hope the headache doesn't last for too long after the movie. With these glasses, I can simply turn it off for me and watch a 2D version, while everyone else still enjoys the 3D. Win-win, and a real lifesaver. If you have anyone in your regular audience that either doesn't like, can't see, or is given discomfort by 3D viewing, this is a must-have feature!Finally, a word about the True Depth 3D company themselves: fantastic. When making my initial glasses purchase, Daniel was extremely helpful and patient with my questions (after the conversation, my confidence was such that I bought four pairs sight unseen!). You can buy with the knowledge that they'll stand behind their product.------------------------------------Tl;dr conclusion:Pros: great 3D with no ghosting, fabulously lightweight, brighter than previous gen, ability to switch individual pairs to 2D viewing for people who don't want 3DCons: smaller lens may be distracting, doesn't block red flash has well as previous gen, but I'm researching further to see if it's something specific to my setupMy theater setup:Blu-Ray player: Oppo BDP-93AVR: Denon 3311CIDisplay: Benq 1070 projectorGame console: Sony PS3Screen: Carada Criterion Series, Brilliant White (claimed 1.4 gain)Material viewed (all viewing in 3D):The AvengersFinding NemoHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (parts 1 & 2)Wreck-It Ralph3D games:Batman Arkham CityResistance 3
