If I buy a Panasonic 3D TV for example, can I use 3D glasses from another manufacturer, say Samsung?

In short, no.

While many use similar technologies for 3D (Active Shutter glasses) the tinting, communication methods, and more can differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.

For example, one maker's TV could send signals to glasses over bluetooth, while another chooses IR.

There's much hope that makers will settle on one standard for 3D glasses so that glasses could be interchangeable. That would be a huge win for consumers, and could help drive adoption.

There was recently a story that illustrated how silly it is not to have a standard here: http://www.explore3dtv.com/blog/entry/14097/Samsung-3D-Glasses-turn-Panasonic...

If anyone has the ability to retest the Samsung Glasses with the Panasonic TV, they Panasonic TV has the ability to switch eyes in the menu. I'm personally not willing to shell out the money for a pair of the Samsung glasses to test out, but I should give the NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses a quick test run. I have plenty of those.

I tested the NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses with the Panasonic display, it's a no-go. The NVIDIA glasses won't even detect the display.
