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.  

Yeah it was 720p...which s a great achievement considering its the only console game thus far to do 720p per eye 3D. Everything else is like 1/2 720p...

"It's a bit harder to determine resolution in 3D than in it is in 2D since there's so much more visual data for your eyes to process (depth) but I'm pretty convinced that we are looking at true unscaled 1280x720 resolution per eye."

 

Here is a thread which talks about this which I just quickly found - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=20546341

Nvidia forums has threads like this every day..."Why can't I select 1080p resolution when gaming on 3D TV?"...etc

Well so much for thinking I have a top of the line 3D TV.  What a ripoff

You're kidding right?

Projectors suck ass in gaming (and everything else to be honest) , i don't care how big they are! , you are not trying to trick people so they end up buying inferior stuff to what you have.... are you? :-p

You couldn't be any more wrong. Don't know what kind of projectors you had before but the new DLP chips own pretty much anything for the price. You probably had LCD projectors or old DLPs which had rainbows...or you had one pointing to a wall and not a proper screen. Screen quality and type is extremely important for a good projector picture.

Here is a review of a setup I am talking about -http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/3d-vision-projector-acer-h5360,2687.html

"What about our projector choice? The Acer H5360 simply dazzled us for the low $640 price tag. Its 2500 lumens of brightness and a 3200:1 contrast ratio make for great gaming and movie viewing, while the 3D Vision-compatibility is an added bonus. Frankly, the display quality seems superior to the 3D Vision-ready Acer GD235Hz LCD monitor, which appears quite dark when used for 3D Vision duty. In addition, the H5360 projector can refresh pixels faster, and doesn't seem to suffer from occasional ghosting artifacts with very bright objects like the LCD monitor does."

and

"Let's talk about Blu-ray 3D a little more. Right now the buy-in for a 120 Hz 46" 3D television is over $2000 in most cases for the television alone. Is anyone else intrigued by the relatively low cost of 120 Hz projectors for big-screen Blu-ray 3D duty? Granted, the highest 3D Vision-capable projector resolution is 720p now, but frankly, Blu-ray 3D films look awesome at this resolution, even on a 100” screen. In my opinion, a 120 Hz projector is the best way to currently watch Blu-ray 3D, and it just happens to be one of the lowest-cost options, too."

 

I own an 3D TV in the bedroom, 3D 120 hz monitor and a 3D projector. So I am not "tricking" anyone in to buying something I may be biased towards. I see all of them side to side with same content. Projector wins...easily.

I wouldn't go as far to call it a rip off but yeah...once "true" 1080p 3D TVs come out in 3 years people may resort to calling them rip offs.

The good news is that you have a samsung which is the only TV to support checkerboard 3D which is awesome.  Its basically an optical illusion, and despite only running half of the 1080p pixels, looks 90% as good as true 1080p 3D. Sadly only PC can support it (and Avatar, crouching tiger and other early 3d console games).

HDMI 1.4 standard came killed that 3D mode...and gave gamers something worse, lol.
