This 3D monitor without glasses can impress, but bad games maintenance kill him
For a moment, it seems that the very concept of 3D displays was dead and buried. Samsung then came with the shovel under one hand and the advanced technology for tracking the eyes under the other. That takes us to Samsung Odyssey 3DA 27-inch 2000 dollars monitor with one main feature: it makes 3D without goggles. I wanted to love him, but as you will see in this review, here just is not enough to justify the price for anyone who has a mountain money to burn and for a long adoration of Long dead nintendo 3dsS
Samsung Odyssey 3D
Makes 3D right, but it costs too much and does too little.
Pluses
- 3D effect is starry for cartoon or stylized games
- Eye tracking manages to follow the user even in strange positions
- A pretty bright IPS display
Disadvantage
- Really, really dear
- Reality Hub does not track some platform games like Xbox
- Limited 3D options for both games and non -bodies
I enjoyed the Odyssey 3D when I have to use it briefly last monthS Having it in hand, it is now obvious that the monitor is limited by problems as well as obvious. Without the 3D effect, this is a simple, albeit relatively colorful, 4K IPS LCD display with a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz. You can find a quality monitor with these specifications for less than $ 500. However, Samsung’s new display houses a “light -field display” that uses a lenticular lens to direct different images to each eye. Eye tracking ensures that the lens always shows the contents of your face, no matter how you are and weave in front of the screen.
All this means that the 3D effect offers surprising faithfulness. If you remember the inconvenient viewing angles of earlier lanetilar-based displays such as Nintendo 3DS, the technology inside the Samsung monitor fixes the need for a right of viewing, offering a unique game experience, unlike any monitor I used before. However, the problems are installed as soon as you plug it into your computer. 3D on screen requires special reality software to be installed. You can find it either in the Microsoft store or by digging through Download page On the Samsung Support Site. This monitor also does not support 3D movies. You can get a fine 2D effect when watching YouTube or other defective full -screen videos, but this is not exactly the kind of experience you are throwing 2000 dollars for.
There are several other major warnings on the Samsung monitor that exceeds its astronomical price of $ 2,000. You need the NVIDIA RTX GPU to maintain 3D effects. I tested the Odyssey 3D on a desktop computer with the GeForce RTX 5090 and noticed no problems with the framed games I played with the additional 3D effects. Then again many of these titles are not intended to push the limit of your schedule. Most of them are cartoon games, comfortable for children, along with a few more stylized third-party action titles. There are only 14 of them compatible with Odyssey 3D at the start.
Despite Psychodents 2They are not available since exit. 14 Games supported on Odyssey 3D: The first berserker: Khazan, Lies of P, Stray, Dragonball Z: Kakarot, Little Kishmares II, Fist: Forged in Shadow Forch, Spongbob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, Wigmun, Disney Epic Epic Palworldall three Automatic edition of Grand Theft Auto Titles.
Hazan is the only game built from the beginning with the 3D odyssey in the mind. By charging it, you will find that the cutscenes of the game uses eye tracking to give you a presence in the stage as if you were peeking through a window in the world, as the objects in the foreground are shifting around you. During the 3D game, the effect is sharp and, in many ways, it is upgraded. The characters and snowflakes pop off the screen, though it is fine enough, you will not feel that you will be hit in the face every time an arrow flies to you. 3D improves stylized cell visualizations, even if the strange artifact, too close to the screen, sometimes makes me feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic.
The problem is that most people probably do not have the bigger part of the games supported by Odyssey 3D, at least not all in one place. Have access to Palworld Through the Xbox Game Pass. Unfortunately, Samsung does not seem to take into account the executable files of the Microsoft subscription service. The real center should find any of these games on your computer but the software failed to find PalworldS When I manually introduced the way to the Hub reality file to access the game, in this case the “GamelachnchHelper” file, it will start Palworld Outside Samsung’s starting memory without any 3D effect. I was in communication with Samsung on this issue and it can change in the future.
I loaded the lateral scroll of Beat-am Fist: Forged in Shadow Torch SPeel to test how much 3D affects the NE-3D action game. I pressed 3D depth settings and 3D popping them to their max, to get some sense from the different layers in the relatively static environment of the game. Even at the first moments where enemies fly on the screen or you see the different depth of the foreground and background, it causes the same type of “wow, it is a neat” feeling to stare in a mirror for infinity in a carnival. Inevitably, the novelty wears out quickly.
I encountered other strange problems, such as Odyssey 3D asked me if I wanted to enjoy a 3D effect on a 2D game (this didn’t really add a 3D effect). Another time you use the subtle 3D effect on YouTube, the click is far from terminating the process of the Hub reality show working in the background, which loads the error message I needed to click. But these problems are a dwarf simply from the lack of game support compared to the price of this monitor. It is always difficult to be the first of your kind and the early adopters of new technologies will always pay more. The only hope is that Samsung adds more maintained games in the future, although this may not be very likely to keep in mind how much niche this monitor is.
The problem then is I can recommend what is still only more than a rough concept for anyone now, especially considering that you can buy two high quality 4K QD-lying monitors For the price of an odyssey 3D. I would be glad to see that this monitor technology is becoming more accessible, with a broader support for more games and various options for resolution at a more expensive price. I just hope that Odyssey 3D is not thrown into a shallow grave, like all past attempts on 3D screens.
