    Do you mean to ask if it will support 3D on a 60Hz screen? I think the point is that you have to have a fast enough refresh rate for the 3D effect to work, meaning 120Hz. That's the only special thing about 3D screens - they don't do any kind of 3D projection, they just refresh fast enough for the 3D tech to work how it's supposed to. I don't know if there's any 60Hz 3D out there besides the old school filter glasses kind, and I don't think the dynamic 3D systems games use would work like that.
