I had to chose from one of the HALF SBS/TAB formats, because I had some weird issues with the FULL SBS/TAB.

Anyway, my TV is Sony Bravia 4k 2015 (KD-55S8505C) with active 3D, running Android TV 7 and it supports H264/AVC Level 5.2 3840x2160 so I decided to encode 4K SBS which is 1920x2160 for each eye (vertically stretching each frame). During playback the TV stretches each frame to 3840x2160 (or shrinks it to 1920x1080) and this gives me back two full 1920x1080p frames in 3D. It is kind of a hybrid version of Half/Full SBS/TAB.
Anyone else able to do this on a Sony 3D TV?
I tried it, but my Sony Z9D won't play 3D for any film that has resolution greater than 1080p.
Sony's site says it also "An Android TV that supports 3D format
If you have a 4K TV, a 3D signal won't display if the TV receives a 4K signal."

Any idea how to get around this limitation?
