Monster 3D glasses will work with any set, but it's not that simple

Monster 3D glasses will work with any set, but it's not that simple
Adding to the list of why 3D TVs are annoying: glasses that work with, say, a Panasonic TV won't work with a Samsung TV and vice versa. Monster's new Vision Max 3D glasses aim to fix that by working with any manufacturer's 3D TV.

In order to do that, it uses a base station to transmit shutter sync info to the glasses. It isn't cheap, costing $250 for the base station and one pair of glasses, with extra glasses costing $180 each.

It's a nice fix, I guess, but if you already have a 3D TV, why not just buy the glasses that work with it? It's not like you can bring these glasses to a friends' house if they don't have a base station.
