Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Oakley just opened up a whole new dimension in entertainment. The Gascan is the first optically correct 3D eyewear ever made. Use it in any movie theater that has RealD®, the 3D system used in the majority of cinemas around the world. This is the “Oakley” of 3D eyewear so it gives you the ultimate in clarity, comfort and performance, and all that adds up to the ultimate 3D experience. Oakley has applied its decades of innovation to achieving a new benchmark in 3D eyewear. HDO-3D™ technology allows them to create lens curvature that maximizes your field of vision for a full panoramic view. As the world’s first optically correct 3D eyewear, it gives your eyes sharp images that are true and accurate. What it doesn’t do is make images appear magnified or shifted like conventional 3D eyewear. With Oakley 3D eyewear, problems like ghosting and glare are virtually eliminated. Color perception is more accurate, so you’ll see what the director had in mind for every shot.

Customer Reviews

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 great in RealD 3D movie theaters, which is the most common type of 3D movie theater out there right now. A handful of 3D movie theaters around the world use Dolby 3D, which uses spectral filtering (as opposed to circular polarization). For those, you will want to use the glasses handed out in the theater because the Dolby 3D system is not compatible with any 3D glasses that use circular polarization (including these Oakley 3D glasses). But to add one more little wrinkle, if your 3D theater features Dolby Digital Surround Sound (but RealD 3D), then these will be fine. When did life get so complicated
In terms of performance, I tested these glasses primarily with a VIZIO 65-inch passive 3D ("Theater 3D") HDTV set, the VIZIO XVT3D650SV. The Oakley glasses provided a nice upgrade from the free 3D glasses included with the set: the curved lenses provided a more immersive field of view, and the colors were more accurate with slightly higher brightness (again, compared to the free glasses included with the TV). They also worked well in a 3D movie theater, providing a nice upgrade to the free RealD glasses handed out at the door, not to mention greater comfort.
Are they worth the higher price? That depends. If you want a high quality experience watching 3D films in theaters and on a passive 3D TV set at home, or if you want a more stylish, high quality set of 3D glasses, then the Oakleys are a good choice. There are less expensive alternatives out there, but in my humble opinion, the higher quality of the Oakley glasses justifies the price.
Turn-Ons:
Stylish design
Excellent image quality
Curved lens creates more immersive field of view
Turn-Offs:
Expensive
Cannot be used as sunglasses
Our full review of the Oakley 3X Gascan 3D glasses is available at BigPictureBigSound (dot com).

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.
