Question about 3D Shutter Glasses and LCD's... mimicking refresh rate?

Is there a way to mimic the refresh rate effect of CRTs on an LCD? Like make all the pixels turn on and off at 85Hz? I've been thinking about trying out the eDimensional 3D Glasses from some of the rave reviews I've read of them, but I have a Dell 2001FP. 🙁
 
The refresh rate for LCDs (60Hz) that Windows shows doesn't mean much because the pixels are constantly on except for in areas where there is movement. What I'm talking about is a program that makes all of the pixels of the screen NOT stay on constantly, but actually causes them to flicker on and off at 85Hz.

You can calculate refresh rate by using response time, can't you?

My 2001FP does 16ms response time, so (1000 msec / 1.000 sec) / (16 msec) = 62.5 sec^-1 = 62.5 Hz ?
Hmmm... that means 85Hz is 11.76ms response time and 120Hz is 8.33ms response time. Oh man, that'll be the day.
 
you have an LCD, you're fvcked..
Go buy a CRT or beter yet, one of those 3D LCDs that are 3D without the need for glasses

The pixels are constantly on but so what? Why won't the glasses work with pixels that are always on? All the glasses do is alternately shutter the field of view. By the way, there is absolutely no way to change the behavior of the pixels.

How'd you figure that out...
