Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has officially announced the launch of its new lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors, alongside the ViewFinity S8. The 2025 Odyssey series introduces the groundbreaking Odyssey 3D, the stunning Odyssey OLED G8 featuring a 27-inch 4K display with a 240Hz refresh rate, and the ultrawide Odyssey G9. These monitors are engineered to push the boundaries of immersion and performance, delivering premium gaming experiences for the most demanding players.

“We’re committed to delivering cutting-edge technology that enhances the gaming experience,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display at Samsung Electronics. “The latest Odyssey monitors represent a major leap forward in innovation, visual quality, and performance, allowing gamers to fully immerse themselves and perform at their best.”

A New Dimension in Gaming: Introducing Odyssey 3D

Leading the charge is the all-new Odyssey 3D (model G90XF), a 27-inch monitor that brings 3D gaming to life — no special glasses required. Thanks to Samsung’s proprietary lenticular lens technology combined with advanced eye-tracking, users enjoy a natural, high-definition 3D experience directly on their screens. The Reality Hub app serves as the gateway to 3D-compatible games, transforming visuals so the action feels like it’s leaping off the screen.

To make the most of this next-gen 3D innovation, Samsung is actively partnering with major game developers. Current collaborations include:

• Nexon, for The First Berserker: Khazan, scheduled to launch on March 27.

• Neowiz, for the acclaimed Lies of P. Its first downloadable content (DLC), titled Overture, is expected to release this summer.

These partnerships give developers greater control over 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with extraordinary accuracy. Samsung plans to continue expanding its 3D gaming ecosystem by working with additional studios around the world.

AI-Enhanced 3D and Cutting-Edge Gaming Performance

Odyssey 3D isn’t just about next-level gaming visuals — it also features AI-powered video conversion that can render regular video content in 3D. Compatible scenes are analyzed and transformed in real time, creating consistent 3D effects while minimizing eye strain. This feature breathes new life into nearly any video content, delivering a cinematic experience right from your desk.

Performance-wise, the Odyssey 3D is built for serious gamers. A 165Hz refresh rate and ultra-fast 1ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time ensure ultra-smooth gameplay. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync™ Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC, eliminating screen tearing and input lag — even during fast-paced, graphically intense battles.

Enhanced Immersion with Edge Lighting

To complete the immersive experience, Odyssey 3D includes Edge Lighting — a feature that syncs ambient light beneath the monitor with the on-screen action. Colors shift in real time to match in-game environments, extending the visual experience beyond the screen and into your room. This subtle but impactful addition elevates the sense of realism, making virtual worlds feel more alive than ever.

With its innovative 3D technology, high-performance specs, and immersive lighting, Samsung’s Odyssey 2025 lineup represents a significant advancement in the world of gaming monitors. Whether you’re a competitive esports player or a fan of cinematic single-player adventures, these monitors aim to redefine what’s possible in gaming immersion.
