Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the unveiling of its latest gaming monitors with a particular focus on the groundbreaking Odyssey 3D, which offers glasses-free 3D viewing, at Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, Germany.
Gamescom 2024, held from August 21 to 25, is the world's largest gaming exhibition and features more than 1,400 exhibitors, including hardware, software, and game content producers. Samsung will showcase its high-end gaming monitors - including the new Odyssey 3D and models from the Odyssey G6, G8 and G9 series - at its booth, which spans 800m2 and is the company's largest and most immersive booth to date.
"We are thrilled to present our glasses-free 3D gaming monitor at Gamescom, the world's largest gaming exhibition," said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Business Team, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "Samsung remains committed to leading the premium gaming monitor market by continuously developing cutting-edge technologies that enhance the gaming experience."
The Odyssey 3D's innovative light field display (LFD) technology creates lifelike 3D images from 2D content by using a lenticular lens1 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 monitor was honored with the Best of Innovation award in the Gaming & eSports category at CES 2024.
