Samsung Electronics has announced the launch of its new gaming monitors, featuring the innovative Odyssey 3D, at Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, Germany.
Odyssey 3D Gaming Monitors
The Odyssey 3D introduces glasses-free 3D viewing through its advanced light field display (LFD) technology, which uses a lenticular lens to convert 2D content into 3D images.
It integrates Eye Tracking to follow eye movements and View Mapping to adjust images for enhanced depth perception. Users can switch between 2D and 3D modes easily.
The monitors are available in 27″ and 37″ sizes, offering a 4K resolution, a 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, and a 165Hz refresh rate. Features include a Height Adjustment Stand (HAS), tilt capabilities, FreeSync Premium, one DisplayPort 1.4, and two HDMI 2.1 ports.
