3D gaming is getting its glow-up. Samsung just dropped the Odyssey 3D (G90XF) — a next-gen gaming monitor that lets you dive into 3D worlds without strapping on any clunky glasses. Yup, it’s totally glasses-free, totally sci-fi, and it’s designed to work even if you wear specs. Your eyes do the talking, and the screen brings the magic.
So… how does it pull off the 3D magic?
Samsung’s trick is based on how our eyes see things in the real world — both eyes catch slightly different views, and our brain mashes them together to create depth. The Odyssey 3D plays into that with stereo eye-tracking cameras that literally watch your eyes in real time. As you move, the monitor knows exactly where you’re looking and adjusts the visuals instantly.
What you get is a crazy-cool illusion of depth, with different images going to each eye. A fancy lens on the screen helps make sure those visuals hit just the right spot. So instead of needing glasses, your eyeballs become the controller.
What’s under the hood?
It’s all powered by three big tech flexes: eye tracking, view mapping, and a lenticular lens. The cameras lock onto your eye position, the software calculates what you should be seeing, and the lens makes sure each eye sees its own version of the action. All of it happens in real time, so even if you move mid-fight or lean back in your chair, the 3D doesn’t break.
And when you’re not in 3D mode? It switches back to being a killer 2D monitor with super-fast refresh rates and crisp visuals. No trade-offs.
No more weird 3D blur
Samsung’s not messing around with half-baked 3D either. They’ve built in tech to fight crosstalk — that weird, ghosty double image you sometimes get on older 3D screens. A mix of post-assembly calibration, AI-based eye tracking, and even an anti-glare screen coating keeps things clean and sharp. So yeah, your eyes are safe.
Why this could be a gamer’s dream screen
The Odyssey 3D isn’t just a flex — it could totally reshape how we game. Immersive, reactive, and ridiculously cool to look at, this thing blends future tech with high-end performance. Whether you’re diving into 3D campaigns or just want lag-free multiplayer in 2D, this is Samsung’s loudest play yet for the gaming throne.
