This is the thread for the Samsung Odyssey 3D model G90XF PC monitor. This is a high-end 4K 165 hertz IPS-LCD monitor that has the world’s best glasses-free 3D display.
Base Specs
Resolution: The Samsung Odyssey 3D delivers a sharp 3840x2160 (4K) resolution.
Refresh Rate: Samsung Odyssey 3D is 165hz.
Response Time: <1ms response time.
2D Viewing Angle: Due to being an In-plane Switching (IPS) LCD, the Odyssey 3D has a super wide viewing angle, nearly encompassing the full 180 degrees both vertically and horizontally without noticeable dimming or color shifting.
3D Specs
Glasses-free: You see stereoscopic 3D, glasses-free, instantly when viewing supported 3D content. This is enabled through a polarized switchable lenticular optic in front of the display.
Head-tracked 3D: Monitor tracks your head to enable a wide field of view / viewing angle in 3D. The downside is that 3D only works for one user at a time. It locks onto whichever person is detected being closest to the display. This is the best head-tracking ever in a consumer 3D device.
Switchable: Unlike many other 3D displays, this one is fully switchable, meaning you get full resolution and full frame rate in 2D mode. The 3D features don’t negatively impact your 2D experience.
3D Resolution: You get 1920x2160 per eye, which is on paper a full 2x the pixels of a 1080p HD resolution display per eye. But for some content your perceived resolution will be lower, and for some content it will be higher. It depends on whether the content was optimized for the display or not.
3D Refresh Rate: Unlike old 3D tech like 3DTVs which cut your refresh rate in half, this display gives you a full 165 hertz refresh rate fully accessible in 3D.
HDR: HDR is available in 2D, but there is currently no HDR available in 3D, which is unfortunate. Maybe Samsung will enable it in a future update.
3D Brightness: This is a next-generation glasses-free 3D display, so unlike older 3D devices, the image in 3D mode is equally as bright as it is in 2D mode.
3D Drivers
Reality Hub: Samsung Reality Hub is the driver, runtime, and software launcher that enable stereoscopic 3D on the Odyssey 3D. You can get Reality Hub directly from Samsung's website or from the Microsoft Store. The Microsoft Store version has an auto-update feature. Ensure Reality Hub is downloaded before trying to enable 3D.
Official Hardware Requirements
CPU
Intel: Samsung says “i7 or Higher”, which doesn’t really mean anything. If you find an i3 or i5 that works or an older i7 or i9 that doesn’t, please comment on this thread.
This is what Samsung says is officially supported as the min spec for 3D. But unofficially, we’ve found a lot of other hardware that’s weaker than what’s listed works perfectly fine. If you’re having issues getting the monitor to work and you have the supported hardware, make sure you have a supported HDMI or DisplayPort cable plugged in, as well as ensure the USB cable between the monitor and the computer is plugged in as well. 3D can NOT work without the USB connection! You must also select the port you wish to enable 3D mode for within the monitor OSD.
AI 3D Conversion Hardware Requirements
All other min specs are the same for AI 3D Conversion, except for GPU. ONLY Nvidia is supported, and only select 3000-series and 4000-series cards will work.
GPU
Nvidia: RTX 3080, 3080-Ti, 3090, 3090-Ti, 4070, 4070-Ti, 4070-Ti Super, 4080, 4080 Super, 4090. If you find one of these cards doesn’t work or a model outside of these does, please post your exact model in this thread.

Really amazing job putting this together. Had the Odyssey 3D for a few weeks now, and this is the best 3D I've ever seen. Truly the "next-gen" of 3D. Unbelievable.
Need to test more of the games, honestly, cause things have been hectic. But Khazan seemed like the most solid out of the ones I played, simply cause the head-tracking took it to another level.
Anyone seeing issues with games showing in 3D? I’ve tried Khazan and Palworld with no luck. YouTube videos look great in 3D but when I launch games nothing. I can’t get the overlay or shortcuts to work either.
I've been playing around with 3DGameBridge now with ReShade, trying to mod games to work in 3D on the Odyssey 3D. Needs some work but it's getting there!
I am on RTX 4070 with 32 GB ram, Intel Core ultra 0. I am having issue getting the realtime 2D to 3D or the split screen working with full screen app (eg : YouTube). the camera doesn't even turn on in full screen (don't see red dot).
However their reality Hub app works fine (camera turns on, see red light and get the 3D). Any one had success getting it to work with RTX 4070? or any confirmed RTX graphic cards that works with Realtime AI 2D to 3D conversion?
