Awesome monitor with great party trick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely stunning display. Colors are vibrant, and it is very sharp and crisp, this is the best screen I have seen this year. It is surprisingly very light as well, lighter than my old 27” monitors. The stand allows to adjust height and also orientation which is pretty good. I had mine mounted though, since I already have setup. One of my concerns with specialized screens is whether the added features compromise standard use, but that's not the case here. The 3D filter, when turned off, does not get in the way at all; you wouldn't even notice the monitor has this special 3D capability, ensuring an uncompromised 2D experience for everyday tasks and content. Speaking of the 3D capability, it is absolutely mind-blowing. The glasses-free experience is a significant leap forward, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional 3D glasses. You just need to be sitting relatively stable. The cameras on the monitor track the eyes and renders 3D like magic. And it is very, very good. This is something you have to see for yourself, since I can’t really show that on camera. There are handful of games officially supported by Samsung for the 3D effect. It also allows any full screen window (game or video) to turn into 3D, although the effect if a bit less dramatic than the officially supported games.
Speaking of compatibility, that’s where the monitor falls a bit short. The 3D effect is achieved through Samsung’s proprietary software which is Windows only at the moment. I tried connecting my PS5 and the 3D effect was not available. It officially supports in about 10 games at the moment. Although the 3D effect is very good, I feel the number of supported games seem a bit lacking. Full screen can also be converted to 3D through their software, however the effect is a bit less dramatic than officially supported games, and a very powerful GPU is needed to run things this way. I have 3080 which is listed as minimum requirement for 3D conversion, the process bogs down quite significantly and I was not able to get smooth experience as the officially supported games.
I wish Samsung would find way to officially support large library of games as that would provide the best experience. Also I wish the monitor could show 3D natively and not through the proprietary software.
Despite some of shortcomings, this is a very high quality monitor with awesome 3D features. For users with a capable Windows machine and a recent high-end GPU, you simply won’t find another 3D monitor that delivers a better glasses-free experience than this. It’s a glimpse into the future of immersive displays.

A *Deeper* Gaming Experience!
on June 6, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new monitor from Samsung just about has everything that most high end 27-inch 4K IPS monitors have and then slaps on a game-changer: 3D without glasses! Typical stuff like 4K resolution, 165Hz refresh rate are present as expected so you’re getting razor sharp clarity and butter smooth motion. Details pop, HDR10+ support ensures wide color coverage so you get vibrant, accurate color reproduction. Even though it's not an OLED or mini-LED panel, it’s bright & punchy. Glossy screen finish adds greater impact on perceived color depth and image contrast.
The metal chassis is sleek and refined and fits high-end gaming or productivity setups. The Aurora lighting feature throws light onto the base and it’s subtle but beautiful. The integrated speakers, however, were a pleasant surprise - clear, decently loud, eliminating the need for external speakers. This shocked me upon the first listen. I’d actually use these while gaming to be honest.
Glasses-free 3D. This is where this G90XF sets itself apart. The AI driven 2D to 3D conversion works impressively, giving subtle depth and separation between foreground and background objects. It’s pretty neat. However, it's native 3D content, especially the Side-by-Side (SBS) formatted content, where the experience becomes truly next-level. Watching a video of a snake slither toward the screen, my kids and I were freaking out - we actually screamed and instinctively leaned back.
Games: Reality Hub is still developing and it can be a tiny bit touchy, which is allowed, since this is all still in its infancy. However when the effect works it does its job well and it’s impressive. Titles that do support 3D offer an immersive gaming experience that made me trying to “grab" objects on occasion! I have a laptop powered by a RTX 4070 and my desktop PC has a RTX 4090. Both were able to handle gaming without issue, however the documentation on Samsung's end could’ve been better: I had to resort to Reddit to figure out you absolutely have to have the USB cable plugged in from the back of the monitor to the device you’re using.
Other than that though, the Samsung Odyssey 3D G90XF is a future forward monitor that delivers incredible clarity outside of 3D content and a mind-blowing 3D experience without glasses. That aspect of it is probably the biggest draw. 3D glasses supporting screens have been a thing for decades, but if you want to experience what I can only call genius innovation, this monitor is a thrilling piece of technology.

Beautiful Monitor for Work and Play
on June 10, 2025

from San Diego
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a versatile monitor that has been great for both work and play! The 27" glossy screen makes colors pop and the 4k resolution gives plenty of room for multiple apps while text is crisp and clear. I've really enjoyed watching videos in 3D and the AI conversion looks great! The built-in speakers can get quite loud which allows me to clear off my desk's speakers. I also like how the LED edge lighting casts a nice ambient glow on my desk.

Incredible glasses-free 3D
on June 12, 2025

from Bond
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was completely blown away when I first saw this monitor switch into 3D mode. The effect is so natural and convincing, as if you could just reach right into the screen. Gaming feels like an all-new experience, but I wish there were more supported titles than the current dozen. I’m sure that Samsung is working on adding more, but it would be nice if they’d announce what’s coming soon to keep the excitement going.
In the meantime, it’s a lot of fun to watch online videos using the Reality Hub’s 2D-to-3D conversion. I’m really impressed with how well the picture comes out, and I love that you can also view side-by-side formatted 3D videos in their full glory. It’s a pity, however, that the monitor doesn’t offer a way to play 3D movies from disc, as I still have a number of them from owning a 3D TV.
Physically, the Odyssey 3D has a very premium look and feel. The design is attractive, and the eye-tracking cameras are barely noticeable in the monitor’s bezel. The included stand is highly adjustable, even letting you rotate the monitor into portrait orientation, if desired. The only downside is that the screen is highly reflective, so I have to keep it facing away from any lights or windows.
All in all, I’m very happy with the G90XF and can’t wait to play more games on it. The super-glossy screen and lack of backward compatibility are minor letdowns, but they’re far outweighed by a near-flawless 3D presentation.

3D goodness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really intrigued to see and test Samsung’s 27” Odyssey G90XF in person. I’ve seen a few videos and unboxings online, but everyone recommends seeing the 3D gaming monitor in person. I finally got my hands on one, and now it was time to see what this thing was all about.
First thing that stood out was how well-made the monitor is. The build quality gives off a premium look. The stand is minimal and doesn’t take up too much desk space. The monitor has a vivid beautiful 27” 4k screen that is perfect for gaming. The bezels are really thin and the camera’s that track eye movement aren’t too noticeable.
My favorite feature of the monitor is the 2D to 3d conversion. After downloading the Reality Hub in the Microsoft Store, it took no time to begin watching videos in 3D. When watching videos, a pop-up would appear in the lower right-hand corner asking to enable 3D. I am really impressed at the level of 3D depth and realism.
Looking forward to future compatibility and enhancements to get the most of the Samsung’s 3D monitor. Samsung has done a great job at pushing forward new and exciting technology, and this monitor falls into that category.

Great display and speakers
on June 24, 2025
Posted by: MasterOfNatha
from MANTECA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am enjoying playing and watching content on this G90XF Oddisey 3D monitor, the built-in speakers sound nice and can get quite loud if needed. Haven't yet had the time to play with the 3d aspect which I know is this monitors main feature but I can already tell I will love it once I do. Been mainly playing using my PS5 and the colors on this monitor look amazing with HDR. I have also been watching movies and shows using my phones Dex and really like the speakers as they can get very loud and have great audio. The control on the back of the monitor is easy to learn and use as all settings are controlled with the one clickable stick/nub. If you plan to have the built-in LEDs from the bottom of the monitor display powered on, you will have to enable it from the the menu's as it is disable by default. To enable, navigate menu's and under "Game and edge lighting" set Lighting to ON.
I have no regrets in upgrading to this monitor and I have yet to fully indulge in all its features

Hands down the best monitor on the market!

from SHORELINE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung LS27FG900XNXZA has completely changed my expectations of what a monitor can do! Firstly the monitor is designed with a sleek profile allowing it to blend with whatever setup configuration you currently have. In addition, the build quality is very robust and sturdy. The first thing that stands out is the picture quality of the display. Colors just pop out and look extremely vibrant. In addition this monitor is equipped with 3D functionality without the use of glasses allowing you to play your games or consume your favorite media in 3D. The gaming on this monitor is also cutting edge. It supports high refresh rate allowing you to get a slight edge on your competition during online gaming. Gaming is not the only thing this monitor is good for, if you’re using this a work device spreadsheets and text are extremely crisp and sharp. If you’re considering getting a new monitor this is your best choice!

Incredible Monitor

from Nokesville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor looks outstanding in our home office and the features are incredible. I play a variety of intense and slow paced games that this monitor has no issue keeping up with since it has a 165Hz refresh rate. My games are always crisp and stutter free. The 3D features, like AI 3D video conversion and glasses-free 3D, my games and movies also come to life on the screen. Sometimes I feel like I am in my games., which is further enhanced by the spatial audio feature. The sound just wraps around me. The Reality Hub has been great feature for checking out some new games and I love that the edge lighting on the screen expands the visuals of the games.
