Samsung announced its new Odyssey 3D gaming monitor at gamescom, featuring cutting-edge glasses-free 3D technology. The monitor will be available globally later this year in 27- or 37-inch sizes, offering a 4K QLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, a 1-millisecond response time, and AMD FreeSync support.

The glasses-free 3D effect is achieved through a combination of a lenticular lens, built-in eye tracking camera, and view mapping, which work together to adjust depth perception continuously. This innovative technology allows users to switch between 2D and 3D modes seamlessly, making it an attractive option for gamers curious about 3D gaming without the need for special glasses.

While the exact pricing details have yet to be disclosed, historical pricing trends and comparisons to similar products like Acer's SpatialLabs suggest that the Odyssey 3D monitor may come at a premium. Despite this, the unique features and advanced technology promise a compelling gaming experience.
