Alternative hardware for NVIDIA 3D Vision?

I was looking for NVIDIA 3D Vision kits on eBay and noticed this. I hope it's OK to link for discussion purposes.

These are RF controlled shutter glasses it looks like. Anyone know what the deal is? I was planning on getting an Asus VG236HE and a 3D kit but this has confused me.

Wonder if they're identical, just unbranded ?

The list of graphics cards it claims to work with is a strange one too. My GTX 570 isn't mentioned but Nvidia list it as suitable on their site. It's not the same as the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit mainly in that it's infra red and this claims to be RF and that is backed up by the seller when I questioned him. I think I might send him another question...

They're knock offs, supposedly they work fine but obviously reliability and warranty are questionable.

OK, I thought that might be the case.
