I've seen a lot of these around and tried a few different types and been mostly dissapointed by the results.

I've heard that they're good but remain sceptical about buying them as they seem expensive.
Has anyone here tried these and do they work well or are they just another pair of useless junk?
3-d glasses, are they any good?

I've got a friend who has the glasses, and I can say, the first time that I used them, i was shocked, as they do actually work.
As is noted, however, you do need time to adjust to the view, and it does get better the more you use it.
I've used them to play games sucha s UT and Star Trek Elite Force II, and it definatly helps immerse you in the actual game...

Do they get any overlapping images? I have a pair of similar glasses but after using them for around an hour i guess my eyesight adjusts and the images start to overlap.

I prefer to use the glasses for gaming because i like the feeling of depth it gives you. Especially playing splinter cell, counter strike and flight sims. Flight sims seem to work especially well with the motion tracking mouse enabling you to look around your cockpit as if you were in it.

The only affect you might get is when you first use them. You will find it very strange to have objects leave your screens physical boundery, and will constantly attempt to dodge them...
You won't get any other affects, as long as you can run a very large refresh rate, remember, the effective rate is half the current rate, due to the way the glasses work, so 120hz is only as affective as normal 60hz.
Its due to the way the glasses work. They contain two very thin filter screens, which are see through when no voltage is there, and then when voltage is applied, block out all light. So, in the first refresh, it shows the screen as if the right eye would see it first, while blanking out the left eye. On the second refresh, it shows the screen as if the left eye was seeing it, and blanks out the right eye. Repeat this for the refresh rate per second, and you will get a 3D effect.
People viewing your screen however, can't really, as the effect to the screen without glasses makes it nearly impossible to use. If you play lots of games, get the glasses, you wont regret it.
