There's no consumer 4K container format for them. That said, there are still lots of 4K-compatible 3D projectors. Epson still makes them, Benq makes them, Optima makes them. And when you get into the $$$$ range, there's quite a few, too. Barco makes a couple, IIRC.

Unfortunately, a firmware update won't help on a projector that doesn't have 3D support, because you need a wireless or IR sync signal being generated for the glasses.

IMO, at-home 3D will end up with a resurgence as newer feather-weight VR/AR headsets start to come down in price. The viewing experience of a 3D movie with a headset is orders of magnitude better better than with 3D glasses.

Then 5040 and 5050 are faux-K and 3D. I think the 5060 is, too? The 5040 can't do 4k/60 in anything but 8 bit 4:2:0, though, so it has some shitty 4k limitations in a world of video devices that force 60fps.
