3 reasons why to NOT buy a new 3DTV for gaming.

Here is a chart of resolutions these new 3D TVs support. This is not per eye, but total resolution that the singal will send to the TV. This has been posted and discussed on AVS forums as well as Nvidia 3D vision forums, and it is also listed in a samsung 3D TV manual... Only the first resolution which is used for bluray is true 1080p per eye @24hz.

3D Mode Input Compatiblity
Frame Packing 1080 (per HDMI) (Blu-ray)	1920 x 2205 24Hz
Frame Packing (per HDMI)	1280 x 1470 60Hz
Top/Bottom 1080p 24Hz	1920 x 1080
Top/Bottom 1080p 30Hz	1920 x 1080
Top/Bottom 1080p 60Hz	1920 x 1080
Top/Bottom 1080i 60Hz	1920 x 1080
Top/Bottom 720p 60Hz	1280 x 720
Side-by-Side 1080p 24Hz	1920 x 1080
Side-by-Side 1080p 30Hz	1920 x 1080
Side-by-Side 1080p 60Hz	1920 x 1080
Side-by-Side 1080i 60Hz	1920 x 1080
Side-by-Side 720p 60Hz	1280 x 720

My guess is that 1080p top bottom means that you are getting 2 images which are not interlaced and are 1920x540 in resolution...both of which your TV will scale  in to a 16:9 resolution. Exactly how side to side is used for ESPN 3D seen in the pic below -
