New LED LCDs have a more reflective screen

[Nasir]

The way I understand 3D is ( and feel free to correct me), the TV is putting out a full screen for the left eye ( so the 3D glasses blank out the right eye ) and vice versa. To my understanding, this means that the TV is NOT putting out half the light, but continues to put out the full amount of light, just that only one eye is allowed to see this image. This does NOT mean that the eye for which the image is meant for will see a less intense image, but rather that the intention of fooling the stereo depth of the visual image is made possible, and hence 3D is made possible!! And its done so fast that image for the other eye is still retained by the eye ( and brain ) . I would further argue, that if one were to close the left eye, the monitor one would be looking at would not seem any the dimmer, nor would one see half the picture, rather, the accuracy of depth only is compromised....
OK, for cable 3D signals, the resolution suffers, as they are transmitting at normal HD channel bandwidth, but with BLURAY nothing should be lost, that is full 1080p for the left eye and ditto for the right eye.

Basically you are spot on. However, there is a small loss of light of light that comes from the flashing of the shutter glasses(and a bit of dark tint as well), but a small adjustment to the brightness(or turning off all of the lights in the room) can compensate for it. It quite frankly is a non issue in reality, as LCD displays have migrated over to LED(both of my sets are LED backlit). Even when turned up to full brightness, they last longer the CCFL backlights.
