<p>Techniques for stereoscopic 3D display systems with active shuttered glasses are provided which overcomes the real-world limitations of sample/load & hold displays, resulting in greater overall brightness, while reducing crosstalk between each eye perscpective. In some embodiments, a first left-eye perspective frame and a first right-eye frame are determined from image data. A first composite frame of a first type is then created. This first composite frame of the first type comprises one or more left-eye pixel values from the first left-eye frame and one or more right-eye pixel values from the first right-eye frame. The first composite frame of the first type is outputted to the display area. This may also include use of scanning backlight synchronized to loading/hold of display in conjunction with the composite frame.</p>
