Samsung unveils the Odyssey 3D monitor at CES 2025, transforming a prototype from last year into a real product. The monitor utilizes light field display (LFD) technology to create 3D images from both supported games and 2D content, eliminating the need for glasses.
CES 2025 Read and watch our complete CES coverage here Updated less than 2 minutes ago Flash back almost exactly a year to the day. I was sitting in a half-built demo area playing on a Samsung prototype gaming monitor. The company had loaded up Lies of P — one of my favorite games of last year — and I was proceeding through a midgame Mad Clown Puppet mini-boss. It wasn’t just standard gameplay, though.

This splits the image going to each eye, allowing them to receive slightly different perspectives to simulate that 3D effect. There’s a built-in stereo camera and constant view mapping, too, tracking your eyes as they move around to keep the 3D illusion from breaking.
The prototype I tried last year was already very impressive — so impressive that I was forgot I was sitting at a CES demo at all. Hopefully an extra year to cook has made the tech even better. Related Originally, Samsung had called this the 2D/3D monitor, and that’s not a mistake. Not only can it simulate 3D on 2D content but the monitor also works in standard 2D mode. It comes with some respectable specs, too. It’s a 27-inch monitor packing a super-sharp 4K resolution, and it comes with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms gray-to-gray response time.
For now, Samsung is keeping some details under wraps. We don’t know what ports the monitor has, nor when it will release. Critically, Samsung also hasn’t revealed how much the Odyssey 3D will cost. I suspect it’ll run a pretty penny, but we’ll just have to wait until Samsung has more to share.
