Overview

The Samsung BN96-22901A (SSG-4100GB) is a pair of active-shutter 3D glasses engineered as a genuine Samsung replacement accessory for compatible Samsung 3D televisions. Active-shutter technology works by rapidly alternating the opacity of each lens in synchronization with the TV's display, effectively delivering a full-resolution 3D image to each eye. This approach provides a higher-quality 3D experience compared to passive polarized systems, which typically halve the vertical resolution. The glasses pair directly with supported Samsung 3D TVs for a seamless setup process.

As a genuine Samsung part, the SSG-4100GB ensures reliable communication with Samsung's 3D synchronization protocol, avoiding the compatibility issues that can arise with third-party alternatives. It is worth noting that Samsung and virtually all major TV manufacturers have discontinued 3D television production, and the availability of new 3D content has diminished significantly. These glasses are best suited for consumers who already own a Samsung 3D-capable TV and need a replacement pair or additional glasses for household members to enjoy their existing 3D Blu-ray collection and compatible content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Samsung TVs are compatible with the SSG-4100GB 3D glasses?

The Samsung SSG-4100GB glasses are designed for use with Samsung 3D-capable televisions that support active-shutter 3D technology. Compatibility varies by model and year, so it is important to check your TV's specifications or Samsung's compatibility list before purchasing.

Are these active-shutter or passive 3D glasses?

These are active-shutter 3D glasses. They use battery-powered liquid crystal shutters that alternate rapidly between the left and right eye in sync with the TV's display to create the 3D effect, delivering full-resolution 3D to each eye.

Do the SSG-4100GB glasses require batteries, and how are they powered?

Yes, as active-shutter glasses they require a power source. The SSG-4100GB typically uses a small coin-cell battery. Refer to the included documentation for the specific battery type and replacement instructions.

Will these glasses work with non-Samsung 3D TVs or 3D projectors?

These glasses are designed specifically for Samsung's 3D synchronization protocol and are not guaranteed to work with 3D TVs or projectors from other manufacturers. Cross-brand compatibility is generally not supported with active-shutter glasses.

Is 3D content still widely available for home viewing?

3D content availability has declined significantly as most major manufacturers, including Samsung, have discontinued 3D TV production. While existing 3D Blu-ray discs and some streaming content remain available, new 3D releases are uncommon.
