Expensive but a nice upgrade from free 3D glasses,

Oakley's passive 3D glasses will work with the passive 3D TV systems currently on the market from VIZIO, LG and Toshiba. But please note that all of these companies also currently make *active* 3D TV models so double-check that your set uses the right technology before buying. They will *NOT* work with the active 3D TVs made by Panasonic, Samsung and Sony, nor with the active 3D TV models made by Toshiba, VIZIO and LG. So, again, make sure your set uses a passive 3D system before buying. If your 3D glasses take a battery or a USB charger or have any blinking lights, then these Oakleys are *NOT* a suitable replacement. But if your 3D TV glasses look like regular sunglasses then these are what you need.
VIZIO calls their passive 3D sets "Theater 3D." LG calls their passive 3D sets "Cinema 3D" and Toshiba calls theirs "Natural 3D." Confused yet? Well welcome to the wacky world of 3D TV... and don't shoot the messenger!
These Oakley 3D Gascan glasses also work...Read more

Comfort worth the price,

I had 4 sets of glasses included with my Vizio set, so this purchase was purely a luxury decision. However, I can tell you that if I am going to wear glasses to watch a movie, I do not want to feel as though I am; and these glasses nail it. I can't say that they dramatically improve the clarity, but there is certainly no fall back.
Awesome 3D Glasses,

I use these with my LG 3D TV and when going to the movies. These are passive glasses not active shutter which seems obvious but based on the negative review maybe not obvious to everyone.
Already I was using a regular pair of Gascan for my everyday sun glasses and I find them very comfortable so these fit exactly the same. I would suggest if you are not familiar with the fit of these glasses head down to the oakley store or sunglass hut and try them on first.
The 3D effect was much improved both at home and at the movies, the lens don't darken the picture as much as the cheap free glasses. The 3D images seems much brighter.
These glasses have improved 3D for me and I hope they will for you as well.
I ordered from Amazon at 10pm Thursday night and had them 14 hours later at noon Friday.
