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.

It looks like Samsung is going to be the first to market with 3D TVs in 2010. Samsung is running and gunning with 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch Full HD 3D TVs with active 3D glasses, the production of which began earlier in January 2010.
While this is an exciting move on the part of the electronics giant, it remains to be seen whether it will be good for the industry due to the lack of standardization across the 3D technology. The general consensus at CES 2010 seemed to be that Summer 2010 would be when we could hope for some solidarity and standarization among 3D content and hardware providers. Regardless of that notion, however, Samsung is marching full steam ahead now.
