Samsung’s Odyssey 3D Gaming Monitor Is a Promising Glimpse Into the Return of 3D

Samsung 's new Odyssey 3D monitor (G90XF) uses a lenticular lens and eye-tracking cameras to create a convincing 3D effect to bring PC games to life.

It costs a hefty $2,000 , a steep price considering how good (and affordable) gaming monitors are nowadays.

A mere 12 titles are supported officially, and they aren't well known.

Samsung promises that there will be 11 more of these “co-developed” releases by the end of the year .

Samsung 's Odyssey 3D uses a high-quality 4 K IPS panel with a 165 -Hz refresh rate to make sure that gaming in 2D is still an enjoyable experience.

Samsung worked directly with the developer for the 3D integration, and the real showcase of the technology is The First Bershana: Khazan .

It's a solid 4 K gaming monitor on its own, if only it weren’t for the exorbitant price.

At $ 2,000 , you'll pay a lot for the privilege of testing out the tech.

With how good gaming monitors are nowadays, you're paying well over $ 1,000 for the 3D here.

Most people should buy an incredible OLED gaming monitor, which costs roughly $800 .
