Samsung is moving the Odyssey 3D monitor into production following its initial technology demonstrations. The device is built around a 37 inch panel that outputs 4K resolution. The hardware enables a three dimensional viewing experience without the requirement for active or passive 3D glasses.
The system operates using two primary hardware components. First, a lenticular lens is applied to the front of the 4K panel. Second, the monitor housing contains built-in stereo cameras that track the pupils of the user in real time. This eye tracking data allows the monitor to adjust the light direction from the lenticular lens so that the left and right eyes receive distinct images. This process creates the stereoscopic effect. Users can disable this feature via a software toggle to return the screen to a standard 2D display mode for productivity tasks.
The Odyssey 3D is designed with gaming specifications in mind. It supports a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1ms gray to gray response time. It also includes AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to synchronize the display with compatible graphics cards. The monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 connection. The stand allows for height adjustment and tilting to align the eye tracking sensors with the user’s position.
In addition to its gaming applications, Samsung is targeting professional users in fields such as 3D modeling and medical imaging. The internal processing hardware can interpret standard 2D content and apply depth maps to create a 3D effect, though native 3D content provides the highest level of visual accuracy.
The Samsung Odyssey 3D is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2026. The 37 inch model has an estimated retail price of $2,999. The monitor will be sold through the Samsung official website and authorized electronics vendors. More details regarding regional availability will be shared during CES 2026.
