Sony 3D Glasses
To ensure users fully enjoy 3D viewing, the Bravia HX900 and LX900 series 3D ready TVs come with two sets of Active Shutter Glasses that are synchronized with the images shown on the display. Additional 3D glasses can be purchased separately.
Sony has an adult-sized TDG-BR100 gray pair, along with a smaller blue or pink TDG-BR50 pair. The downside is that the glasses also require a TMR-BR100 IR emitter (see below).
