During Gamescom 2024, Samsung has unveiled a new gaming monitor that’s sure to bring back the 3D viewing fad.

Enter the Samsung Odyssey 3D, a new gaming monitor featuring the new Odyssey 3D tech that gives you 3D viewing without the need for glasses.

Here’s how it works:

The Odyssey 3D’s innovative light field display (LFD) technology creates lifelike 3D images from 2D content by using a lenticular lens on the front panel. Combined with Eye Tracking and View Mapping technology, Odyssey 3D ensures an optimized 3D experience without the need for separate 3D glasses. Eye Tracking monitors the movement of both eyes using a built-in stereo camera, while View Mapping continuously adjusts the image to enhance depth perception.

The Odyssey 3D can seamlessly switch between 2D and 3D modes based on the user’s preference. Offered in 27” and 37” sizes, it features a 4K resolution display, a rapid 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, and a high refresh rate of 165Hz, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted gameplay without any afterimages or interruptions. Additionally, the Odyssey 3D comes with an ergonomic design featuring a Height Adjustment Stand (HAS), tilt capabilities, FreeSync Premium, one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports.

The Odyssey 3D’s groundbreaking effects and viewpoint are only viewable by one person, but that’s fine given that it’s built for gamers and people who aren’t sharing one screen.

No price or release date for the Samsung Odyssey 3D has been announced, but we’ll bet it won’t come cheap.
