Hi all,

Did someone try the disposable passive 3D glasses of HCBL company?
Are they good? worth the price?

Good \ bad Comments will be welcomed [Smile]

Thank you

I don't think I've ever tried one of their glasses, but they seem to offer "Universal IMAX Plastic Linear Polarized 3D Glasses Red Blue Cyan Anaglyph vision" glasses, which sounds really amazing and somewhat trippy.

You really should be careful with those unknown Chinese brands. It's not like RealD, Xpand or IMAX sources them from anywhere else, but at least you know they work. I've once seen a whole batch from some other nameless brand offered via Ali Express, were about 25% of all glasses had damaged polarizers in one eye.

I've used them, they are on par with MI, RealD, etc.
The frames are actually very nicely built and they have different styles. Lenses provide good polarity and color.
I recently did some testing with a few different brands out of Asia and found most of the companies do actually provide decent products, great prices if you're buying lots of 1000.
