Samsung’s Odyssey 3D monitor delivers great visuals, limited game support

Summary
The Samsung Odyssey 3D is a 27-inch monitor priced at $2,000 that supports stereoscopic 3D gaming without the need for glasses, thanks to a lenticular lens on its front panel.
Ars Technica tested the monitor and was impressed by the 3D effect, stating it represented how far display technology has come in the last 15 years.
However, it concluded the monitor was hard to recommend due to the limited selection of games supporting the stereoscopic 3D feature, which would prevent most PC gamers from getting value from the monitor.
Samsung announced the monitor earlier this year but it is only now coming to retail; it offers a 1ms response time, a 165Hz refresh rate, and support for resolutions up to 3840 x 2160.
It features an IPS panel and is supported by a stand that allows for tilt, swivel, and up to 130mm height adjustment.
