Are there any good 4K TVs (or large monitors) that do *Passive* 3D graphics?

The one thing I really dislike about passive 3D is that it effectively halves the resolution, but 4K should allow 1080p in passive 3D.

Does this exist? Any recommendations? I need this for some molecular graphics display programs, but wouldn't mind being able to use it for other more conventional applications as well.

Are any of those passive 3D (or even 3D)?

Oh, I might have missed that essential part, sorry (the main google entry link mentioned 4K and 3D - I briefly clicked on it, and I thought that the monitors were interesting, up to date, and with your requirements...4K, monitors or TVs, 3D passive...some of them).

P.S. I checked in more depth some reviews from that previous link I posted...and you are right; no mention of 3D, and not only that but lack of true UHD (4K) with HDMI version 1.4! ...It should be version 2.0a (only some of them have).

I also looked @ other links (like you) and couldn't find true 4K (UHD) monitors, with best 3D passive for graphics and 3D projects.
Graphics and gamers for 3D do they use video cards?

Amir's link for LG UHD 3D Passive full TVs (OLED, or LED) was the one that has all your requirements, plus the price tag to go with it.

This is a tricky market @ this "time in point", true UHD material is not common, and true UHD TVs are not the norm.
I've read that we might have to wait another two-three years.

* It requires serious research because all is not like it appears to.
