Further, the Odyssey 3D features AI-powered video conversion, which can turn any standard content into 3D. With 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms (milli-seconds) response time, AMD FreeSync support, Odyssey 3D ensures smooth, lag-free gameplay.

The monitor also houses a built-in speaker and supports spatial audio. It costs Rs 1,27,299.

Samsung also introduced the Odyssey OLED G8. It is said to be the industry's first 4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor. It comes in a slim metal body with Core Lighting+ and an ergonomic stand.
