[QUOTE="Marcus Venturi, post: 1010879, member: 121570"] Yes and no. The problem is, that most 3D TVs that are currently sold are using polarized glasses. They are much cheaper, that the ones with the shutter glasses. Especially if one needs more glassed for the family members. The drawback of this technology is, that the pictures have only the half resolution, because the images for the left/right eye are shown simulaneously on different polarization planes. If you are playing a 3D BluRay in Windows 8 with framepacking support, you won't get a better quality or higher resolution on those TVs. Currently it looks the polarized glasses will dominate the market in the future. This might be the reason why the manufacturers start the push the new 4K TVs, because they can display a 3D movie in the full quality, but I think it will take a while till they are affordable for the most of us. So I won't sign that MP1/MP2 have non-optimal 3D quality, at least not for the moment. But that might change in the future. ;) Despite of that it makes sense to get frame packing support with Windows 8 into MP1/MP2, but I won't get a Windows 8 license for my HTPC just for that. So for Windows 7 it is necessary to support at least a correct display for 3D SBS/TAB movies. [/QUOTE]
