Edit:
There is an issue with some (or possibly all) of these screens being supplied with the incorrect glasses.
Many describe it as purple ghosting, but for me, being colour blind, I can only sometimes say the ghosting is purple, but there is certainly ghosting.
You can test this by simply tilting your head 45 degrees to the left - if the ghosting reduces noticeably, you likely have been supplied the wrong glasses.
Myself and others are currently hounding LG to try and get to the bottom of this, but it's slow going.
Will update when I have more solid info.

Apparently one of the responders to this twitter account phoned up and spoke to someone who stated they were aware of the issue, and were simply sending him the correct glasses.
In my couple of calls I have not spoken to someone who has acknowledged the problem.

My glasses were posted to LG and received last week (around 21 Feb or earlier) for them to test, but they do not have this particular screen available to them right now.
Just emailed them (28 feb) only to be told they were still with spares department and they couldn't give my any kind of eta

Apparently Potnoodles complaint was acknowledged by LG as an issue and they are sending him glasses once they have received copy of his receipt.

07/03/2012 Receive 2 sets of glasses from LG, along with a few other people. The glasses they sent were correct, and ghosting is all but gone. The glasses should read "3D monitor glasses" on side, not "Cinema 3D".
The boxes for both correct and incorrect glasses all seem to have model number FPG-200F, so based on that it's hard to tell if you have the correct ones or not.
I have still contacted Watchdog, even though they have sent me correct ones, because I don't want this to be a hassle for other people. I want LG to educate their support staff and to contact re-sellers of affected units to try and get in touch with purchasers where ever possible to get them correct glasses.

Update 16/03/2012
While some people seem to be finding it easier these days to get the correct glasses (LG are obviously becoming more aware of the issue), some people are still being made to jump through hoops for cheap glasses!
I am going to suggest to anyone who finds they have the wrong glasses to make a submission to Watchdog - Watchdog

Found this on one of the major etailers for what I consider a really good price, but having not liked LG products in the past was a bit dubious.
Anyway, had it couple of days now and must say am really pleased with it.
I didn't want an active shutter system - I just didn't like the idea of this flickering in front of eyes, no matter how quick.
Not had a chance to play all that many things in 3D, but tried Wipeout on PS3, Gears of war 3 on Xbox
Wipeout was pretty good and Gears 3 was better than expected.
On the PC had brief looks at Skyrim, Deus Ex, Dirt 3, Crysis.
Skyrim looks great, but performance is abysmal.
Deus Ex looked good, but struggled to find best settings.
Dirt 3 looked awesome, and was a pleasure in 3D.
Crysis just didn't like 3D at all.
I knew that 3D on PC would be hit and miss, with using Tridef (which came with tv/monitor).
Picture quality is above what I was expecting. Probably surpasses the iiyama 27" I just sold, which itself was pretty good.
There are tons of options for controlling settings very finely.
Overall, for £280, I think this was an awesome buy.
Can't wait to pick up uncharted 3 now
