A group of ports within the rear of the monitor.
Whereas the stereoscopic impact was total comfy for lengthy durations in my assessments, my eyes did have a little bit of hassle focusing throughout occasional scenes the place objects within the foreground find yourself obstructing the principle recreation motion within the background, akin to errant blades of grass flitting in entrance of the digital camera in Stray. When this occurs, the intense distinction in vergence between the foreground objects and the background characters proper subsequent to them on the display can create a blurry, eye-crossing distraction. Whereas this impact is uncommon and quick in most video games I examined, it may be very uncomfortable when it does happen.
Restricted compatibility
As spectacular because the stereoscopic gaming expertise is on the Odyssey 3D, it is also an expertise that is disappointingly restricted to a handful of video games in the mean time. The Samsung Actuality Hub app—which you must use to launch any stereoscopic content material—presently solely helps 14 titles, starting from some current hits (Lies of P, Palworld) to retro classics (three remastered Grand Theft Auto Definitive Version video games) to some you have like by no means heard of (Wigmund, The First Berserker: Khazan).
Even in the event you by some means personal all 14 of those titles, that also means your fancy new monitor’s greatest function can solely be used on a minuscule subset of your PC gaming library. That is greater than a bit galling in a monitor that prices two to 4 instances as a lot as flat 2D shows with related specs.

Utilizing the required Samsung Actuality app to even launch these few video games can also be an unnecessarily annoying expertise, because of a bloated, overly busy stereoscopic front-end that induced my graphics card to spin up like a jet engine even earlier than launching a recreation (Samsung recommends a GTX 3080 or greater to energy the app and any stereoscopic video games, however it did not complain about my GTX 2080). Even after awkwardly registering my monitor-compatible video games by way of the app, I typically discovered they merely would not launch in 3D by way of the app except I reset my total system, for some motive.
