Samsung now says that 2D screens is old hat.
The Korean tech giant promises anew Odyssey 3D monitorone weve only seen in prototype formiscoming sometime later this year.
The Odyssey 3D monitor uses a lenticular lens to direct a different image to each eye.

The view mapping should adjust if you lean toward or away from the monitor.
Instead, the monitor offers a more subtle sense of depth to characters and objects closer to the screen.
Whats special about the new Odyssey monitor is how it uses eye-trackingstereo cameras built into the monitors frame.

The display should maintain that sense of depth even when you move your head.
Samsung is showing off its consumer-end monitor at Gamescom in Germany.
The monitor is available in 27-inch and 37-inch sizes.
Users can switch between the 2D and 3D effects with a switch, akin to theNintendo 3DS.
Otherwise, it still offers 4K resolutions, routine 1ms response times, and a 165 Hz refresh rate.
It will support AMD FreeSync.
Thats fine if it can swivel and tilt as far as the other Odysseys.
Im more concerned with the port selection on offer.
It comes with a single DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI slots.
Regarding gimmicks, you would probably get a more immersive experience from aquality curved monitor.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
We still need to see it to believe it.
