If theres one thing I would defend to the death, its the 3D effect of the Nintendo 3DS.

It costs as much as two high-end OLED monitors for the sake of an IPS display with 3D effects.

Theres a jumble of interesting tech behind the Odyssey 3Ds capabilities, even if the specs seem incredibly basic.

Photos can’t possibly do the Odyssey 3D justice since it relies on eye tracking to present the 3D effect. You just have to take our word for it.

This means youll never be without the 3D effect, no matter which angle youre looking at it from.

Getting a 3D picture in your games isnt as simple as plug and play.

This acts as a game launcher for 12 select titles that will support these 3D effects at launch.

The strength of the Odyssey 3D is its dedicated keyboard shortcuts for controlling the 3D depth and 3D popout.

Together, these affect how severe the 3D effect gets.

Samsung worked specifically with the developers ofKHAZAN: The First Berserkerto make the games 3D effects pop.

Immersive isnt the right word for playing with the 3D effect on.

Instead, the 3D novelty enhances the stylized sensibilities of those games with flatter textures and brighter colors.

It does make some images pop slightly when watching videos on YouTube.

Its a nice effect thats not too distracting either.

I recently experienced asimilar concept from Lenovo, but it was a curved, ultrawide monitor.

I didnt like it as much as I liked this though.

I think 27 inches is just the right size to make the 3D effect pop without being too overwhelming.

We still need to see it to believe it.
