Well with Sony’s 3D firmware updates well on their way it has left a lot of websites talking about the firmware updates themselves. Honest I’m sure you have read more than enough of these to get sick of them. So rather than cover this matter again, I figured to look at this from another perspective. Sony could bring 3D to any TV with a refresh rate of 120 Hz or more.
How 3DTV’s Work
A 3DTV works by having a refresh rate of 120hz or more, this allows for the TV to display the left image and then the right image, while still maintaining 60 frames per second so you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. However you still need those LCD Shutter Lens glasses that have to plug into your TV. So if your TV doesn’t have the plug you cannot watch anything in 3D.
Or can you?
I would love to let you know that 3D has been around for computer gamers for quite some time now through nVidia and those monitors only ever required a 120hz monitor to function.
So think about your PS3 as a computer for a moment. What if Sony released a
peripheral that plugged into your PS3 which did the same thing? I know my Plasma TV has a “600hz” refresh rate which would be well above that 120 Hz refresh rate. Granted it’s 600hz subfield, but the majority of TV’s out there work on the same technology.
What do you think?

So what do you think on this matter? Do you think Sony can do this, or do you think that the nVidia glasses might just able to plug into the PS3?
I heard it would take a REALLY good tv to be able to do this.

It actually wouldn't be that hard, well technically for us it would be but you can install some kind of hardware into the PS3 to make this happen, but your T.V might have to a little new for this to work though you can't have a T.V that was built why your grand parents were young. But it still would be the same concept as running a different/ custom OS but it probably will involve something more sophisticated so it will actually appear as a 3D image on your screen but who knows let's see what they say later on.
