Can I use a 3D player & glasses to watch a 3D Blu-ray in 3D on a 2D 1080p HD display?

Just about all existing 120Hz TVs only take a maximum input of 1080p at 60z then internally process that to display at 120Hz. Lacking a way to actually input a 1080p/120 signal (or an alternative of two 1080p/24 video streams) means no support for use with the new 3D Blu-ray players. There are also other factors such as having the circuity to allow LCD shutter glasses to sync with the alternating right and left images as they are displayed.
