CES 2025 is an event that’s always filled to the brim with exciting new products that’ll be coming out for the next year, but Samsung is upping the ante by announcing a 3D gaming monitor.
The Samsung Odyssey 3D G90XF is a 27″ gaming monitor that uses a lens built into the chassis, along with an AI algorithm to deliver a 3D gaming experience without the need for 3D glasses. The best part? You don’t need 3D content to experience it, as the algorithm can convert some 2D content into 3D. Only time will tell if Samsung is able to pull it off. I haven’t had the time to make it over to the Samsung booth, but I’ll be sure to update this story if I’m able to scope it out.
This 3D monitor is just a part of a wide variety of gaming monitors Samsung is launching at the Las Vegas tech show. The tech giant also launched a new version of the Samsung M9 Smart Monitor, which will also use AI. This time, the AI is being used to scan the content you’re watching and adjust the picture settings to make whatever content you’re consuming look as good as it can be.
Of course, there are a couple of more traditional gaming monitors, too. Both the Samsung Odyssey G8 and G6 are getting a refresh, both of which are fairly standard 27″ gaming monitors. Both of these monitors are way faster than before, with the Odyssey G8 sporting a 240Hz refresh rate with a 4K resolution, and the G6 clocking that all the way up to 500Hz at 1440p. Both of these resolution and refresh rate combos will require a behemoth of a graphics card, likely an RTX 4090 or something even more powerful.
Samsung hasn’t announced the release dates or prices for any of these gaming monitors. However, with how advanced the Odyssey 3DG90XF seems, you can expect it to be expensive.
