A stereoscopic image display system comprising: a display device alternating an image data input period (L1, R1, L2) where an image data is drawn in the display device and a vertical blanking period; a backlight adapted to provide light toward the display device during a period where the backlight receives a first ON pulse; a controller adapted to provide said first ON pulse; and a shutter member comprising a left-eye shutter (301; 301') and a right-eye shutter (302, 302'), wherein the left-eye shutter (301; 301') and the right-eye shutter (302, 302') respectively further comprise a liquid crystal material; wherein, when operating the stereoscopic image display system in a 3D mode, the display device is adapted to alternately draw left-eye image data (L1, L2,...) and right-eye image data during respectively a left image data input period and a right image data input period; the left-eye shutter (301; 301') and the right-eye shutter (302, 302') are adapted to be both opened during substantially the left image data input period and during substantially the right image data input period; the controller is adapted to output the first ON pulse during substantially the vertical blanking period characterized in that when operating the stereoscopic image display system in the 3D mode, the backlight is adapted to start to turn on at a time when a first time period, which is greater than 0 and less than a vertical blanking time, passes from the start of the vertical blanking period; the left-eye shutter (301; 301') is adapted to change from an opened state to a closed state after the right image data input period finishes and before the first time period passes from the time when the right image data input period finishes, and the right-eye shutter (302, 302') is adapted to change from the opened state to the closed state after the left image data input period finishes and before the first time period passes from the time when the left image data input period finishes, wherein the first time period encompasses a response time of either of the left-eye shutter (301; 301') and the right-eye shutter (302, 302'), and the left-eye shutter (301; 301') is adapted to change from the closed state to the opened state when a second time period passes from the start of the left image data input period, and the right-eye shutter (302, 302') is adapted to change from the closed state to the opened state when the second time period passes from the start of the right image data input period, wherein the second time period is less than about 15% of the response time of the liquid crystal material of the display device. a display device alternating an image data input period (L1, R1, L2) where an image data is drawn in the display device and a vertical blanking period;
