Tech specs
Advanced features and connectivity options
The Odyssey 3D monitor is equipped with a single DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports for connectivity. It also comes with an adjustable stand that can be tilted and height-adjusted to optimize the viewing experience of 3D content. This feature ensures users can position the monitor in a way that best suits their gaming needs, enhancing their overall experience.
Tech breakdown
How does the glasses-free 3D technology work?
The glasses-free 3D effect on the Odyssey 3D monitor is achieved by integrating a lenticular lens with an eye-tracking camera and view mapping. This combination continuously adjusts for depth perception, creating a unique gaming experience. However, it's worth noting that this Stereoscopic 3D can only be viewed by one person at a time due to its design.
