Question is, will you want to.?
We had a quick hands on with an early concept version at at the CES show in January. Now Samsung is launching the thing for real. Yup, the Samsung Odyssey 3D gaming monitor is here.
As Jacob explained before, the main attraction of the new Samsung Odyssey 3D is stereoscopic 3D visuals without the need for special glasses. The Odyssey 3D achieves that with what is being called Light Field Display (LFD) technology. Long story short, it combines a lenticular lens with a pair of eye-tracking cameras, plus some clever algorithms.
That’s how the display can send a slightly different image to each eye, which is what creates the 3D effect, without the need for glasses. Samsung says the displays can seamlessly switch between 2D and 3D modes and will be offered in both 27-inch and a novel 37-inch panel size which we haven’t seen before.
Both models offer full 4K resolution, 1 ms response times and 165 Hz refresh. FreeSync Premium, one DisplayPort 1.
