The big picture: Samsung's 2025 monitor lineup includes AI-powered features, record-breaking refresh rates, and the resurgence of 3D technology. The new products make it clear that the future of visual technology is not only about higher resolutions but also about creating more immersive, intelligent, and personalized viewing experiences. As the tech world gears up for CES 2025, Samsung Electronics has announced a lineup of monitors with features that range from glasses-free 3D displays to AI-powered smart monitors.The Odyssey 3D G90XF is a 3D monitor that doesn't require special glasses. Instead, this 27-inch, 4K display utilizes a lenticular lens attached to the front panel, which, combined with eye-tracking and view mapping technology, creates a 3D experience.The Odyssey 3D also boasts AI capabilities that can convert standard 2D content into 3D in real-time. It appears to have overcome one of the hurdles that hindered previous 3D display technologies: the lack of available 3D content. In the past, 3D displays were limited by the scarcity of native 3D material, which restricted their appeal and utility. By enabling the conversion of standard 2D content, the Odyssey 3D expands the pool of available 3D-viewable material, potentially making the technology more attractive to consumers.For gaming enthusiasts, Samsung is introducing two new Odyssey G-series monitors that push the boundaries of refresh rates. The Odyssey OLED G6 is touted as the world's first OLED panel with a staggering 500Hz refresh rate, albeit at a slightly lower 1440p resolution. Its sibling, the Odyssey OLED G8, offers a 27-inch 4K OLED panel with a 240Hz refresh rate.Both models boast near-instantaneous response times of 0.03ms, support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync-compatible technologies, and HDR 400 True Black certification. // Related StoriesSamsung is also making strides in AI-enhanced displays with the introduction of the Smart Monitor M9.
