You know, I bought a Samsung LED TV that is 3D and internet ready with two pairs of shutter glasses. Unfortunately, I think my glasses are not working properly.When I turn on my glasses, the light stays on for a bit and dies off in a few seconds. I always have trouble finding out if its on or off so I have to wear my glasses on and off several times and check if I can feel the 3D effect. In that way I know it's still on or not. How do you guys tell to see if the glasses are on and off without having to wear them and check if the 3D effect is rolling.

Hi Coastie65. I don't know. I am not even sure if the battery was fully charged since there isn't a display or light that indicating the status of the battery. I mean there is nothing on the glasses to check with.. but I believe it was fully charged because my glasses was plugged in to a charger the whole time before I use them. It actually bugs me too that my glasses have to be fully charged all the time otherwise it flickers like crazy as its battery goes low. So I always plug my glasses after use but I am so lazy sometimes and just want to skip the ritual.. and I can't!! I wish my glasses had no batteries or flickers :(

Hi. That was just a thought on my part as I know in most cases stuff has to be charged before use. I just recently bought an LG 3-D ready TV ( the PS3 has been upgraded to play 3-D stuff ). I haven't as yet gotten any glasses or 3-D software for that matter.
