Yes - It will work fine with the Realist standard frames and RBT frames,
and
with 5x5 standard frames - in the US called 2x2, due to the funny " system.

YES  - very bad polarising filters in the projector and in the glasses.
They can all be changed in a few hours with filters from Reel 3D.
Spare lamps are only made by Osram (in Europe) - and they are expensive
(in Denmark) - 40 $ each.
The fuse is non standard - so you have to replace the silverwire yourself.
That only takes a minute with a soldering iron and a 4 ampere silverwire.
You have to oil the fan now and then.
The fan is NOISY !!!

A decent price ? 200 $ or equivalent - more is expensive - less is bargain
;-)

ps. I am happy with mine - it works well - and the proper name is Etude ;-)
