Few new details about the Samsung Odyssey 3D gaming monitor

Since CES 2024 and Gamescon, few details have emerged in this 12025’s CES

The Odyssey 3D light field display (LFD) technology creates lifelike 3D images from 2d content by using a lenticular lens on the front panel (according to Samsung, it’s lenticular + light-field). Combined with Eye Tracking and View Mapping technology, Odyssey 3D ensures an optimized 3D. Eye Tracking monitors the movement of both eyes using a built-in stereo camera, while View Mapping continuously adjusts the image to enhance depth perception.

This does not seem to render the real geometry the graphic card is processing, but making a 2d to 3D conversion instead. For video is fine, but for video games it would be better to use the real depth information. They could even use View Mapping to make games holographic (you could move the head to see behind an object).

The Odyssey 3D can seamlessly switch between 2d and 3D modes based on the user’s preference. Offered in 27” (Odyssey 3D G90XF) and 37” sizes, it features a 4K resolution display, a rapid 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time and a high refresh rate of 165Hz, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted gameplay without any afterimages or interruptions.

Additionally, the Odyssey 3D comes with an ergonomic design featuring a Height Adjustment Stand (HAS), tilt capabilities, FreeSync Premium, one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports.

The monitor was honored with the Best of Innovation award in the Gaming & eSports category at CES 2024; Though we think that award belongs to Acer’s TrueGame, which is already creating an ecosystem of Stereoscopic 3D games.

This Samsung monitor is still not available. Gamers already have available the Acer SpatialLabs Predator 27″ (among other SpatialLabs devices) with a library of certified TrueGame 3D games.
