3D TV has a fatal flaw, assuming you can get over the wearing of dorky 3D goggles in the first place: A set of 3D specs from one active 3D TV won’t necessarily work with a screen from another manufacturer. Unless you plump for Monster Cable’s universal 3D glasses, that is.
Dubbed the Monster Vision Max 3D glasses, they’re active-shutter specs that use radio signals rather than infra red to avoid interference. According to Monster, they’ll work with virtually all 3D TV sets.
The only snag? Another base station to sync up to the glasses. That’ll set you back $250, while the eyewear costs $180. Pretty pricey, at £170 and £120 respectively, or just under £300 for everything you’ll need.
Still, if you’re determined to future-proof yourself, or want the luxury of taking your own 3D specs to a buddy’s house, they’ll do the job.
