Finally, someone is getting on the 3D standardization train and moving toward making 3D glasses work on all 3D TVs. Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and XPAND 3D are driving the train and, hopefully, other manufacturers will hop on soon.

The XpanD X103 3D Glasses are the first universally compatible 3D glasses for use with virtually any 3D-ready TV. Many manufacturers are packaging their 3D TVs with one or two pair of 3D glasses. As a result, there are a lot of buyers who will need additional pairs of glasses for the rest of the family. While manufacturers offer additional 3D glasses that are compatible with their TVs, there’s no word at this point on whether they are cross-platform compatible.
Additionally, the X103 3D glasses are compatible with cinema displays, so consumers can actually take their own glasses to the theater for a more comfortable viewing experience. The X103 glasses are available in 12 colors at a yet-unannounced price; however, the $150 price point of the X102 3D glasses should give us an idea of the ballpark.
