The company claims its Monster Vision Max 3D glasses are "the world’s first and only universal wireless 3D eyewear 'shutter system.' They are programmed to work with all brands of stereoscopic 3D TVs. Currently, only manufacturer-specific glasses work with the stereoscopic standard. So, Samsung 3D TVs only work with Samsung 3D glasses.Monster, a company best known and lambasted for selling products like a $500 HDMI cable, has debuted its first accessory for the 3D market, a pair of active shutter glasses.

The glasses will be sold in a Starter Kit that contains one pair, as well as the transmitter kit, for around $250. Additional pairs will be sold for $170. By comparison, XpanD universal glasses will sale for $129 per pair. XpanD universal glasses sync directly with the the display, do not require any transmitter and are superior in their optical performance.
"Head Monster"'s Noel Lee in a statement: "Thanks to our uniquely innovative method for delivering the 3D signal, wearers of our Monster Vision Max 3D glasses will not only be able to immerse themselves in a world of incredibly realistic 3D images, but they will be able to watch for hours without common effects of fatigue and eye strain caused by traditional IR based Shutter lenses."

Hey Mr. Lee, we humans can not see IR and its impossible to have eye strain because of IR! don't believe me? just look at your IR remote control for few minutes and let us know if you feel anything :-)
I guess that the $500 HDMI cables customers will buy Monster Vision Max 3D glasses, for everyone else - go with the XpanD universal glasses.
