LG and Gunnar to Cross-Promote 3D Products
Wed Sep 28, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: LG, Gunnar, 3D Glasses (all tags)
The glasses maker will be pimping LG while LG does the same for Gunnar.
One of the big complaints when it comes to 3D television is that of the dreaded glasses. Passive sets use the same glasses as the theaters do, which is really nice in theory, but not in practice, since wearing those hard plastic abominations for more than a few hours at a time starts to get annoying and even painful.
Companies like Gunnar have been making premium 3D glasses for a bit, but they haven't seen a lot of love up until now. A new partnership with LG should help change that. LG is going to be positioning Gunnar glasses as a premium accessory, which should help boost sales of the glasses.
Gunner eyewear may be best known as an accessory for gamers and other folks who spend hours and hours staring at a computer screen. Their 3D glasses range from $49 up to $149.

Gunnar Releases RealD Certified 3D Glasses

The specialty optics company is the latest to offer an alternative to theater glasses.
It seems silly to us, but there's either an incredible amount of demand for designer 3D glasses or companies think there will be soon. And no, we're not talking about glasses that use the active shutter tech that's used in homes, we're talking about designer glasses for use in a darkened theater for two hours.
If the Gunnar name looks familiar, you may have their designer sunglasses, or the special eSport glasses made for gamers. They're a bit of a specialty company.
Like the rest of the designer glasses crowd, Gunnar guarantees optically correct glasses, and professional grade lenses. "It’s exciting to see the tools used by professionals who work with 3D content on a daily basis finally making it to the marketplace and put in the hands of visually discerning consumers as well," says Gunnar co-founder Joe Croft.
You can pick up Gunnar's new 3D glasses now, for prices ranging from $99 to $149 at Amazon, Buy.com and Fry's.
