Glasses-free 3D screens stay a distinct segment, regardless of how laborious Acer tries, however producers do appear to be taking child steps, largely for laptop computer screens (like final yr’s Asus announcement). Samsung previewed its personal tackle it at CES 2024, together with a small teaser for The Hyperlink — persevering with its custom of “The” awkward product names — a brand new general-purpose (aka “life-style”) monitor designed particularly for use with a number of siblings.
The 32-inch, 4K The Hyperlink prioritizes aesthetics and straightforward setup, going for the ultraslim desktop video wall impact. In accordance with Samsung, the screens join to one another through POGO pins, letting you daisy chain them off the principle connection.
The 3D monitor does sound prefer it’s for gaming: Samsung says it has eye and head monitoring, it is suitable with current VR video games and content material in addition to Steam VR, and the corporate’s engaged on partnerships with sport publishers. Samsung says it could possibly additionally create 3D results (presumably for 2D content material), however regardless of how good the AI processing is for results like this, I all the time discover them both underwhelming or annoying.
Samsung could have extra details about each screens later this yr.
Along with the high-refresh gaming screens and panels it introduced earlier, the corporate additionally launched the successor to its 32-inch 4K Good Monitor M70D, the Good Monitor M80D. So far as I can inform, solely a few issues have modified: The stand has been redesigned with a brand new base and it now helps HDR10 Plus (up from HDR10). Hopefully, that additionally means it makes use of a brand new panel and that Samsung simply didn’t particularly point out it.
