Samsung is Glasses-free 3D gaming monitor First revealed at CES and then unveiled at Gamescom, the Odyssey 3D features a light field display, a front-panel lenticular lens, and eye-tracking technology.
The built-in stereo camera and proprietary View Mapping technology continuously adjusts the image to enhance depth perception and create the key illusion of 3D. The technology is similar to how Acer achieved glasses-free 3D in its Helios 300 SpatialLabs Edition laptop and ASUS ProArt StudioBook 16, except in a much larger form factor.
So the Odyssey 3D comes in sizes up to 37 inches. Samsung touts that users can instantly enable the 3D mechanism or disable it for traditional gaming. That’s a good thing, because glasses-free 3D has been incredibly clunky, dating all the way back to the Nintendo 3DS days. The sweet spot tends to be small, and the image is usually on the blurry side. It’s not a perfect technology.
In terms of traditional specs, the Odyssey 3D features a 4K QLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. It has a 1ms response time and supports AMD FreeSync. There’s a DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports on the back of the monitor. The height-adjustable stand can also be tilted, allowing users to find the perfect position for 3D. Again, glasses-free 3D can be tricky, so you’ll likely need to tinker with the monitor a bit to get everything perfect.
This isn’t a fantasy product. Samsung says the monitor will be available by the end of the year. But then there’s the question of price. The company is keeping quiet about the total cost, which is probably because it will be very expensive. Historically, Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors have been expensive and lacked glasses-free 3D capabilities.
