Samsung has unveiled a new Odyssey 3D gaming monitor that aims to redefine how players experience visuals by delivering three-dimensional images without the need for glasses or any extra accessories. The report comes from Sammobile via Portal, and it highlights a feature set designed to push gaming and multimedia experiences beyond traditional flat displays.
In terms of size, the Odyssey 3D is available in two expansive options: 27 inches and 37 inches. The display uses a flat QLED panel with 4K resolution to provide sharp, vibrant imagery, while a high 165Hz refresh rate supports fast-paced action with smooth motion. It also carries AMD FreeSync Premium for tear-free gameplay and a 1 millisecond response time to minimize motion blur, making it appealing to competitive gamers and fast-clearing cinematic sequences alike.

The core fantasy of the Odyssey 3D rests on its two built-in cameras that track where the viewer is looking. This eye-tracking capability informs a mapping technology that adjusts visuals in real time to craft a convincing three-dimensional perception. A lenticular lens array sits on the panel’s front to render two slightly offset images for each eye, producing depth and parallax without requiring eyewear. The result is an engaging sense of depth that can transform how users perceive in-game environments and cinematic scenes. [Source: Sammobile]
Samsung describes the Odyssey 3D as capable of running VR titles, expanding the catalog beyond traditional PC or console games. It can also convert standard two-dimensional content into a 3D presentation, giving familiar videos and applications a new layer of immersion. If a user prefers a conventional viewing experience, the monitor can switch to a 2D mode, effectively serving as a standard high-end display for everyday tasks like productivity or web browsing.

Connectivity options are robust enough to satisfy modern setups. The Odyssey 3D includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, and an adjustable height stand to fine-tune ergonomics for long viewing sessions. The combination of these features positions the monitor as a hub for both gaming and multimedia work, enabling high frame rates and flexible placement in a versatile home or office environment. Samsung also announced that the Odyssey 3D earned the Best of Innovation award at CES 2024, underscoring recognition from industry peers for its pioneering approach to display technology.

As of the latest information, pricing and official availability details have not been released. Industry watchers expect a launch later in the year, with Canadians and Americans likely to gain access through selected retailers and Samsung’s official channels once the product reaches the market. Early impressions suggest the Odyssey 3D could carve out a niche among enthusiasts who crave immersive depth without the friction of wearing glasses, alongside users who simply want a futuristic upgrade for games, movies, and creative software.
