And you won't be losing anything in return. 2D picture quality is great. Brightness is excellent and these projectors can be used during daytime. 720p resolution is maximum 3D TVs can produce for gaming for 3D anyways so projectors are perfect. Nvidia 3D support on PC, bluray, 3D cable, Ps3/360 are all supported with this setup.

@ the underlined

Thats the limitation of the game consoles correct?    The way I read it makes it sound like its the TV thats the limiting factor


No sadly. Every 3D TV available to this date can't do more than 720p @ 60 hz. HDMI cable has the bandwith but HDMI chip inside each TV is unable to process an image which is 1080p in size fast enough (to be exact, it needs to be running at 297 mhz to do this, and current HDMI chips run at 220-230 mhz) To do 1080p at 60 hz display needs a Dual-Link DVI plug, which none of the TVs have.

3D TVs support 1080p @ 24 hz(only for bluray 3D pushes HDMI bandwith limit to the max), 720p @30 and 60 hz, and various forms of 1/2 1080p resolution (side to side, over under, checkerboard).

Even PC gamers have to do 720p on these 3D TVs despite having 3D monitors capable of 1080p 3D for years now.

Thats interesting,  I wonder why they are so far behind.  It cant be cost thing since those TV are so expensive in the first place.  

I just could have sworn that I played GT5 in 3D @ 1080p,  thats why I questioned it,  but maybe I didnt see it switch to 720p.
