Halved Resolution vs Halved Frame Rate? - Blu-ray Forum

Most of the people who have some sort of complaint about 3D usually site the fact that the resolution is halved.

Most of those people say once we get to 4K TV that the 3D version of 4K would look better than 1080p which would be true.

But I noticed something different as I'm on a shutter TV.

Even in 2023 most TV shows are produced in 30 Hertz. This despite the fact that 60 HZ is considered the atsc minimum for frame rate.

Most people who film in 30 Hertz says it looks more realistic and more movie-like and less of an uncanny valley kind of computerized image.

So if you want full resolution 3D then wouldn't the obvious place to start be to halve the frame rate, not resolution?

Wouldn't that also be the best place to make 3D be considered bandwidth neutral to 2D because the minimum is 60 hertz by the standard therefore you could program hidden frames in 30 of those 60 hertz? What happened to us of the 30 HZ when you're showing a 30 Hertz video is it frame doubling or just repeats the same frame twice in a row? And if that's the case wouldn't covert 3D information be better use of bandwidth than showing the same frame twice back to back?
