Samsung's Odyssey 3D is a neat party trick, but a mediocre gaming monitor

There's one monitor I've been looking forward to for the past two years: Samsung's Odyssey 3D. It started as a prototype as brands like Acer were pushing out SpatialLabs options for ungodly prices. Samsung's promise was simple. It would provide the glasses-free 3D display technology that had been at the fringes of the best gaming monitors and push it into the mainstream. And yet, even two years on, with the Odyssey 3D finally available for sale, it still feels like a prototype.
