I don't know from best.  Maybe I should get samples so I could do a 
comparison.  (Dear company.  Send me free stuff for research.  Yeah!)

I've got three kinds right now.  But there are quite a few types on 
the market.  I do not claim to be an expert, or even a doctor.

I've got the kind they sell on www.3d.com, which have a wire 
attached, for $29.  The wire is a minor hassle, but the operation is 
solid.  They are about the size of regular sunglasses, and without 
the wire you might mistake them for RayBans.

I also have the VR Surfer from www.vrex.com.  These are huge, but 
work okay.  They do not have a wire, they operate on infrared.  If I 
hold my head a certain way, they stop receiving the IR.  These are a 
couple years old, they make smaller, newer ones now.

I also have a couple wireless units that have "ELSA"  printed on 
them.  I don't know where they came from because 3D.com gave them to 
me for a project.  They look very cool and are very small and light, 
but I've never gotten them to work.  :^)

Some of these require software, and therefore will run only on 
certain operating systems.  The 3d.com glasses require no software, 
just a standard VGA port, like 99% of us have.  Some work with both 
computer video and television-type video.  Others are specific.
