When they play a 3D movie, they have to handle two views at the same time, and therefore, they cannot do it in full resolution.
Yes, I should have mentionned my post did not apply to all TVs indeed.

Agreed, FTAB/FSBS is mainly intended to get the best out of UHD TVs.

IMO, the two views must be cut BEFORE they are processed for the 3D display, and therefore, there is no reason to prefer one method over the other. But I trust your test. Your TV (and perhaps most or all LG TVs) has a problem with Full-TAB. That doesn't mean that the TVs made by other brands have the same problem. If would be nice to compare the two methods with, say, a Samsung UHD TV. I bet that both methods will give equivalent results.
Yes this is a bit strange and I just noticed this lately, however I have had that TV for nearly 3 years...
BTW "Your TV (and perhaps most or all LG TVs) has a problem with Full-TAB" ==> I guess you wanted to write "with Full-SBS".

And this is where I give you my best thanks for the excellent work
