Samsung unveiled its latest innovation in gaming monitors with the introduction of Odyssey 3D at Gamescom 2024 on Wednesday. The event, held in Cologne, Germany, also witnessed the South Korean technology conglomerate take the wraps off models belonging to the Odyssey G6, G8, and G9 series. The new Samsung Odyssey 3D is capable of converting 2D content into 3D images by leveraging a special type of lens, making 3D glasses redundant.
Samsung Odyssey 3D comes in two screen sizes: 27-inch and 37-inch. It can output in up to 4K resolution at a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz. The monitor enables viewing of 3D content without glasses courtesy of Eye Tracking and View Mapping technologies. While the former tracks eye movement using a built-in stereo camera, the latter adjusts the image to enhance depth perception.
Samsung says users can switch between 2D and 3D modes based on their preferences. Its 3D capabilities are powered by light field display (LFD) technology. Catering to gamers, it comes with 1ms grey-to-grey (GTG) response time and FreeSync Premium technology. In terms of connectivity, the Samsung Odyssey 3D is equipped with a single DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports. For convenience, it has a Height Adjustment Stand (HAS) and tilt capabilities.
In addition to the Odyssey 3D, Samsung also unveiled three other monitors: Odyssey OLED G95SD, G93SD and G85SD. The OLED G9 series comes with features such as dual QHD resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and 32:9 ultra-wide screen ratio. It also boasts Smart Hub and Gaming Hub. The monitors have a grey-to-grey (GTG) response time of 0.03ms.
