Just a quick reminder to pick up your 3D "Grammy" glasses this week at Target.
The Michael Jackson-branded glasses come in sheets of four and can be found on a DVD end-cap near Electronics. Remember when folding: The red lens goes over the left eye!
So how do these cheap, paper freebies perform? In a word, outstanding!
I put them up against my usual Rainbow Symphony cardstock glasses (40 cent each, minimum order of 50), and all of the images I looked at had less ghosting (the red banding that appears on contrasty edges) AND deeper, richer black levels. I did not perceive any difference in brightness.
I knew they would be free, but I didn't know they would be this good.
Free 3D Glasses will be available at Target stores until Jan. 31, or while supplies last. The Grammy Awards air Jan. 31 on CBS at 8 p.m. EST.
