Samsung Odyssey 3D feels like novelty but still nice

If there is one thing I would protect until death, this is the 3D effect of Nintendo 3DS. When all my friends preferred 2DS, I got away from the older handmade with my uncomfortable 3D slider and fine viewing angles. Now I have grown up and I feel kinship with without glasses Faux 3D 3D monitor of Samsung’s OdysseyS It costs as much as two high -end OLED monitors in the name of an IPS display with 3D effects.

The main step of the Samsung 3D monitor is that for $ 2000, you can sit in front of the screen, which makes some images in some games to pop out more than the traditional display. We saw Odyssey 3D in action in Samsung’s Last two showcases of CES TechBut the company invited me to put the display through its steps in a more relaxed atmosphere. The capabilities of Odyssey 3D have a cumbersome technology, even if the specifications look incredibly basic. Behind the 27-inch, 165 Hz 4K IPS LCD panel, the monitor uses two cameras that track your eyes. This means that you will never be left without the 3D effect, no matter what angle you look at.

It is as if we are coming back to the days when companies like Samsung pressed concepts for 3D LCD TVs (Long after television manufacturers are largely abandoned These concepts of the decade). We are now living in an age where every major monitor manufacturer promotes $ 1,000+ 4K, 240 Hz QD-radiation display. I used the recent Alienware transmission and now Samsung itself has its ODYSSEY OLED G81SF for pre -order, selling for $ 1300. I was sitting in front of the new G8, enjoying deep ink black and relatively glare -resistant screen, but it’s hard to be interested in this screen when the 3D monitor screams on my eyeballs “continue, try me”.

Getting a 3D photo in your games is not as simple as plug and play. The device requires users to go through the Samsung Reality Hub application, which you need to install separately on your computer. This acts as a game launch for 12 selected titles that will support these 3D startup effects. Currently, the list of supported games includes: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Lies of P, Palworld, Psychonauts 2, Little Kishmares II, Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmical Shake, such as Dragon: Ishin, Fist: Forged in Shadow For, and Hazan: The first BerzerkerS Samsung told me they plan to add more to the list in the near future, including some older titles such as the final editions of Grand Theft Auto III through San AndreasS

The characters and objects in these games run out of the screen without the type of strange color you get from 3D glasses in cinema. The power of Odyssey 3D is its special keyboard for control of “3D Depth” and “3D pop up”. Together, they affect how heavy the 3D effect is. Sitting only at the length of the desk away from the screen, everything higher than medium settings creates an unpleasant, close to a painful experience where the characters feel as if they are entering my eyeballs.

Samsung works specifically with the developers of Hazan: The first Berserker To make 3D effects of the game pop. In these soul -like souls, the falling snow beats on your head through the screen, and blood sprayed by yawning wounds, my character was giving away, sprayed with a satisfactory, practically darkened cell depth. The immersion is not the right word for playing with the 3D effect on. Instead, 3D novelty improves the stylized sensitivity of these games with flat textures and more bright colors. 3D effect felt more in tune Spongebob square apparatus and its bright colors than in muffled and muddy GTA: San AndreasS

At $ 2,000, the display should offer more than just 3D effects in a few games. Expensive Odyssey allows you to access a 3D-like effect when you watch some 2D content on your monitor but will not work on secure content via Netflix or other streaming applications. This makes some images slightly pop up when watching videos on YouTube. This is a nice effect that is also not too distracting. With the built-in spatial audio through double speakers, the display may be better than the average way to burn the time to watch trailers for upcoming movies or the person who goes camping with his children to Alaska.

I have recently experienced a A similar concept of LenovoBut it was a curved, ultra -shaped monitor. I didn’t like it as much as I liked it. I think 27 inches are exactly the right size to make the 3D pop effect without being too prevalent. Nintendo 3DS’s first iterations during the day had 3D problems at strange angles, but it works well in the colored, first side of Nintendo. It took Nintendo time to build this library and even then the company dropped the price after low startup sales. You need strong support from tone games to make the 3D effect impactful, and at the moment Samsung’s selection and a huge request for request means that it will be a difficult sale, no matter how many 3DS fans are there.
