At Gamescom 2024, it's not just the that are making headlines, but also the innovative gaming hardware. has unveiled its latest offering—a stunning glasses-free 3D gaming monitor set to redefine your gaming experience. Known as the Odyssey 3D, this monitor was first introduced as a concept at CES 2024, and now it's finally ready for the spotlight.

Revolutionary 3D technology without the glasses

The standout feature of the Odyssey 3D is its ability to deliver an immersive 3D experience without the need for special glasses. Samsung's advanced Light Field Display (LFD) technology makes this possible. The monitor features a thin layer of lenticular lenses on the front panel, cutting-edge eye-tracking capabilities, and View Mapping technology. Together, these elements work seamlessly to deliver separate images to each of your eyes, creating a genuinely lifelike 3D effect.

But the innovation doesn't stop there. To ensure the 3D imagery is continually optimised, the Odyssey 3D uses a built-in stereo camera that tracks the movement of your eyes. This allows the monitor to adjust the image in real time, ensuring you get the best possible 3D visuals regardless of position. It's a game-changer in how you'll interact with your favourite games, offering depth and immersion beyond traditional 2D displays.

How does it compare to the competition?

While Samsung's Odyssey 3D is certainly impressive, it's not the first of its kind. Acer has also entered the 3D gaming market with its Predator SpatialLabs View 27 monitor, which offers glasses-free 3D visuals. However, Acer uses SpatialLabs software to create individual 3D profiles, drawing on existing in-depth information from games. This makes for an interesting comparison, as both monitors aim to enhance your gaming experience uniquely.

The Odyssey 3D is available in two sizes—27 and 37 inches—and is packed with high-end specifications that gamers will appreciate. It supports 4K resolution, and the QLED panel boasts a refresh rate of 165Hz, ensuring smooth and vibrant gameplay.

For connectivity, the monitor has a DisplayPort 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.1 ports, providing plenty of options for hooking up your devices. It also supports AMD FreeSync, which helps eliminate screen tearing and stuttering during gameplay. Additionally, it comes with a height-adjustable stand, allowing you to customise the monitor's position for the perfect viewing angle.

Flexibility between 2D and 3D modes

One of the key features of the Odyssey 3D is its flexibility. If you're not in the mood for 3D, you can easily switch back to 2D mode. This makes the monitor versatile, catering to both gaming and general content consumption, depending on your preference at any given moment.

When will you be able to get your hands on the Odyssey 3D? Samsung has confirmed that the monitor will be released later this year. However, pricing details have yet to be announced.
