What Next?

You need a 3D Glass to watch a 3D Picture. 3D Glasses are now easily available within your budget. I purchased 3D Glasses from both Shopclues and Flipkart. Both are around Rs250. Both the glasses were strong enough, with properly attached lenses.

But Shopclues 3D Glasses were NOT FINELY CUT, it hurts the skin badly while putting it on, may also cut the skin if not handled properly. Another disadvantage is the Red Color is too reddish in the Glass, making it very uncomfortable to watch videos on 3D.

Here’s my Shopclues 3D Glass: Geek Plastic 3D Glasses Anaglyph Red- Cyan / Blue:

Check the rough edges, marked by the arrow. Does not look good.

The Flipkart one was nicely cut and shaped, and fits perfectly even for those who use specs. It does not hurt skin, and the red colored glass is just perfect. Hence I suggest you to try out the Flipkart 3D Glass which I bought myself.

Here’s my Flipkart 3D Glass: Real 3D NV3DG1 Video Glasses:

Watch the fine edges and the clean and stylish look.
