New 3D glasses for BV-7

14 replies

My dealer told me that he has got an upgraded set of 3D glasses, he will lend my one this week to see if they reduce the severe "ghosting" on my telly. Has anyone tryed this updated set of 3D glasses??

It's because the brand xpand has a new model which is supposed to be lighter

Without trying to sound too much of a skin flint, is it possible to purchase compatible but non B&O 3d glasses for a 7-55. I might need 5-6 pairs and at £120 a pop plus the 7!

Or is it a false economy?

Chris, as was hinted below, the B&O 3D specs are made by Xpand - so knock yourself out with an Amazon multi purchase and save yourself the BnO tax!

New Bang specs = new Xpand specs....

(Did anyone actually think they would manufacture their own?!!)

I just ordered three pairs. I'm waiting for my dealer to get them in.

I've looked at their site, so which type would I order.

I presume the new one is the lite ir/rf

Why not check with dealer to have a look before buying?

I vaguely remember they might need re-programming if not bought from dealer...

Thanks, seems a but if a cheek though.

You can do the reprogramming yourself I think...

Taking the topic off on a slightly different angle, I was totally unimpressed with 3D on the BV11. Borrowed a pair of 3D glasses from my dealer for a few days, watched a 3D movie, Sky 3D and a Premiership game or two in 3D.

Can someone tell me what 3D offers that I missed? It hurts my eyes, you need to sit in a darkened room (which rules out watching during the day or summer's evening), you need to be face on in front of the TV, Premiership football is filmed at a poor/lower angle for 3D coverage and movies offer nothing extra in 3D. It almost looks like the "film mode" we all turn off on our newly installed B&O TV!

3D reminds me of something we all think we *should* be watching as it's something that others enjoy. I couldn't see a single benefit - returned the glasses to my dealer and won't be borrowing them again soon :)
