Samsung Electronics has introduced a groundbreaking gaming monitor that provides an immersive 3D experience without needing special eyewear.
On Monday, the tech giant unveiled several cutting-edge 2025 monitor models, including the innovative Odyssey 3D, the high-performance Odyssey OLED G8 with 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate in a 27-inch format, and the professional-grade 37-inch Viewfinity S8.
The Odyssey 3D (G90XF) has a lenticular lens on its front panel and incorporates AI 3D video conversion technology. This cutting-edge feature transforms standard 2D content into stunning 3D visuals, allowing users to enjoy their favorite YouTube videos in three dimensions.
The monitor offers a premium 3D viewing experience tailored to the user’s eye position by integrating advanced eye tracking and screen mapping technologies. Gamers can also register their favorite titles with the dedicated Reality Hub software to unlock an unparalleled 3D gaming experience.
The Odyssey 3D supports 4K resolution, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and G-Sync compatibility, significantly reducing screen tearing during graphically intensive gameplay. With a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz and a rapid 1ms response time, users can expect smooth and responsive gaming sessions.
Samsung has also enhanced its existing Odyssey lineup. The ‘Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF)’ comes in 27-inch and 32-inch variants, both offering 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate for exceptional picture quality and contrast. The 27-inch model stands out with its impressive 166 PPI (pixels per inch), delivering razor-sharp visuals while minimizing reflections thanks to its ‘OLED glare-free’ technology, further enhancing gaming immersion.
In a world first, the Odyssey OLED G8 features an oscillating heat pipe in its Dynamic Cooling System, effectively managing screen temperatures without compromising brightness. It also includes OLED Safeguard+ technology to prevent burn-in issues. Other highlights include a 16:9 aspect ratio, an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, and a fully adjustable stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot functions.
Samsung also introduced the 49-inch Odyssey G9 monitor, expanding consumer options and offering dual QHD resolution and a panoramic 32:9 ultrawide aspect ratio.
The high-resolution Viewfinity S8 (S80UD) and S7 (S70D) monitors are the first to offer 4K resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio in a spacious 37-inch format. The Viewfinity S8 features an ergonomic stand with height and tilt adjustments, VESA mount compatibility for flexible placement, and a USB-C port for enhanced connectivity. This premium monitor is available exclusively through Samsung.com.
