Windows Mixed Reality headset with dual AMOLED panels and Samsung's anti-screen-door 'Anti-SDE' diffuser layer for a smoother image.

The Samsung Odyssey+ (model HMD Odyssey+ XE800ZBA) is a virtual reality headset released in 2018 for the Windows Mixed Reality platform. It is a tethered device: all rendering happens on a host PC, so the headset acts as a high-quality display and interface rather than a standalone console.

Because the computer does all the heavy lifting, what you can run and how smoothly it plays depends entirely on the PC you connect it to. The headset supports refresh rates from 60 to 90 Hz, and holding the upper end consistently, which is preferable for comfortable VR sessions, calls for a capable system. This is not emulation in the handheld sense, but a window into PC VR content available through Windows Mixed Reality.

The image is the main highlight. Dual AMOLED panels deliver a resolution of 1440x1600 per eye, viewed through Fresnel lenses with a field of view of around 110°. Samsung's 'Anti-SDE' diffuser layer reduces the screen-door effect, so the picture looks smoother and less pixelated than on many headsets of the same generation.

At 645 g, the Odyssey+ is not the lightest headset around, and that is worth considering if you plan long sessions. The classic headset form factor sits on your head and face, and careful adjustment helps keep it comfortable during use.

Since it is powered and connected directly by the PC, there is no internal battery to worry about. The connection uses HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0, so your PC needs those ports free. The cable also means your movement is tied to where your computer sits.

On the software side, the Odyssey+ relies on Windows Mixed Reality, built into Windows, which makes setup straightforward on a compatible PC. It is not a device aimed at modding, but a plug-and-play option for the Windows VR ecosystem.

Ideal for: PC users who want a sharp VR image with reduced screen-door effect and AMOLED panels, and who already own a computer powerful enough to run Windows Mixed Reality content.
