The panel technology is currently unspecified. Samsung achieves this 3D effect through a combination of advanced eye-tracking, a light field display, and lenticular lens tech on the front panel that direct light rays at different angles to create a perception of depth.

Combining eye-tracking with a lenticular display sounds quite powerful, but it won't scale well to more than one glasses-free viewer.

Note that there's a significant tradeoff vs. spatial resolution. Rendering gets more expensive, too. IMO, this is the only good use for 8k panels.

Which is why they are making a gaming monitor and not a TV. I put this monitor in the same category as VR technology: meant for one person to use and not everyone's cup of tea. But a nice in-between option for 2-D monitors and VR headsets.

I see no 37" option of the ViewFinity S8 (S80UD).
