Dual Play: Most Over-looked Feature on LG 3D TVs?

Never again, you gypsy.
For all those who own an LG 3D TV, how many of you know about the Dual Play mode?  I'm assuming "not many".  I mean, given the number of people who own 3D TVs, then on top of that the number of people who like to game -- I'm not surprised.  However, let me try to educate and inform you about this neat little feature for those gamers with a social life (read: you like to play with your real life friends).

Imagine this scenario: you're playing some Black Ops on a split screen.  It's first to 10 kills wins.  Of course, there's no screening (looking at your friend's side of the screen), but since there's no way to make sure, it's all based on an honor system.  Then you lose.  Miserably.  How can you be absolutely sure that your friend didn't cheat?  You begin to question your friend's character.  Then his morals.  Then his upbringing.  And before you know it, you're pretty damn sure his entire family were once lying, stealing, cheating gypsies, and you swear to never play Black Ops with him (or her) again.

PROBLEM SOLVED.
How can you stop this inevitable chain of distrust? (Cue drums... SNARE!)  DUAL PLAY mode!  To understand how Dual Play works, you must first understand how passive 3D technology works.  Read about it HERE.  Done?  Good.  Now, the way Dual Play works is that you must first modify your 3D glasses so that one pair of glasses has two "left" lenses, and the other pair has two "right" lenses.  Essentially, the TV shows player 1 only "left" screens and player 2 only "right" screens.  Now, when you look at the screen with the glasses with the "left" lenses, you will see ONLY your character.  The same goes with player 2 and the "right" screen.  Ingenious, isn't it?  NO MORE SCREENING.  PROBLEM SOLVED.

Now you no longer have to accuse your best friend's family of being lying, stealing, cheating gypsies.
