3D TV for gaming

I have been thinking of replacing my LCD TV monitor with an LED 3D TV. I use my TV as a PC monitor and TV for PS3 and Nintendo Wii. Starcraft 3D also looks pretty awesome on a huge 3D TV. I am choosing between LG and Vizio. Although LG is a bit more expensive than Vizio, is the few extra hundred dollars worth spending for an LG TV? Need help…

Or should I just choose Sony/Samsung?
 
I called Nvidia. They said that the best you can get on a 3DTV is 1920x1080p @ 60hz Checkerboard. Strange.

I wonder if you can use advanced settings like AA to improve the unscaled Checkerboard image?

One guy turned on his "TruMotion" option for is LG LED and said that the 3D looked smoother and seemed to be better. Lots of tricks i suppose.

Still I rather be doing 3D on a 55 inch LED TV V.S. Smaller 20-27 inch DVI-D capable 120hz Displays. I can live with 30hz for games and getting 60hz with 1920x1080(unscaled) Checkerboard will probably be great
