To use 3D you need a TV (like the OPs) that takes 120+hz from source. If your current tv does 120/240 make sure it does this from source (and not an internal upscale) for this tech to work.
I think this is a great idea. The leader in sports here in the US, ESPN, is lauching 3D broadcast on June 11th for the World Cup
With the cable stations following suite, its very possible this tech will take off.

Not necessarily.
DLP TVs (and plasmas that support 3D) use a checkerboard pixel pattern which allow them to take 60 Hz and display images in 3D. And they do this much better than few 120 hz LCD monitors since there is no ghosting lag.
There isn't a 120 HZ "TV" that is able to do this on the market right now. There is a bunch of LCD monitors, 2 samsung plasmas and the Mitsubishi DLP/Laser TV line... and thats it.
All of the people that bought the "120/240 hz TV" have been douped!

Yup thats right. Theres only a very few TVs out there that support 3D. Most 120 Hz are not 3D ready. While its true that you can display on 60 Hz (ive been doing that for along time on my cathodic Tv). You will see flickers and small image duplication (also call ghosting) which have been the biggest problem for 3D as a home media. Hopefully Sony will fix that with a constant 120 Hz, and will show the way for some kind of standard in displaying 3D (checkerboard, vertical or horizontal interlace etc).

While it is true that the checkerboard pixel pattern will allow this to "work" its still juts a gimmick. The tv HAS to support full 120hz input from source to do this properly. While you will be able to view it, you will not be able to view it the way it was meant to be viewed. Ill find the source and put it up when I get home later.

Complete nonsence.
Checkerboard pattern at 60 hz on DLP/Plasmas looks much better than 120 hz LCD monitors. I have both. Checkerboard has absolutely no ghosting... there is absolutely no delay in the checkerboard pattern while 120 hz monitors still have 0.1-0.3 ms refresh rate which the eye can see hence there is ghosting. 2007 DLP checkerboard 3D will look better than 120 hz 3D ready TVs for atleast 2-3 more years.
The only downside is that the resolution is halved since 1920x1080 pixels is used to display frames for both eyes. Its a form of interlacing... however its pretty clever and the eye really can't tell the difference unless they ae looking at really fine things like in game text or edges of polygons...etc.
