If you’re lucky enough to get a pair of 3D glasses with your fancy new 3DTV, chances are good that they’re hideous. So this year, I decided to scour CES for 3D specs that weren’t embarrassingly awful. And I found them, in a place I never would have expected.
I had one question for every vendor while testing their 3D glasses. Are these the pair that come with the TV? If they said yes, I put them on my gigantic head and judged them harshly. It was equally depressing from both a fashion and technological viewpoint. Until I found Hisense.
Who the hell is Hisense? Where did they come from? And why the hell do they have the best passive 3D glasses on the show floor? These are the kind of glasses that when you turn to your wife while watching a romantic movie, you aren’t appalled by her headwear. I would actually wear these outside.
Now, is there any way I can score these by themselves? Because the TVs were pretty meh. [Hisense]

Friday, January 13, 2012 at 12:13 PMHonestly, you’re sitting there, watching TV. Do you really care how they look?
You watching TV or looking at yourself in the reflection?
Personally, I’d want ones that work very well over how good they look.
Also, if they’re Hisense, they will almost certainly look better than they can perform anyway

Turned out to be quite a nice little tv, works well if your looking for a secondary tv somewhere in the house. I plug my iPad into it via component to stream movies from my media center downstairs.

TV hasn’t faulted but has been pushed aside for a 60″
BTW glasses don’t look the best on your head, if this is the best there is then we have along way to go
