Samsung 27" Odyssey 3D G90XF 4K 165Hz Monitor

Hello ChimeraX team and users, Does ChimeraX support this monitor? https://www.samsung.com/au/monitors/gaming/odyssey-3d-g90xf-27-inch-165hz-uh d-ls27fg900xexxy/?srsltid=AfmBOopLIkVAywsvNylPGVRL3wUoUJuBvUOPOz0metBjwLM2Nn xgmQVf I read a very positive review about this monitor and may consider buying one if it works with ChimeraX. The review says that this monitor needs a full-screen side-by-side output. Just as many of the sub-windows of ChimeraX can be docked and undocked (e.g., log, Models, etc.), is there way to undock the main graphics window to make it full screen? Or, is there a way to display the graphics window on a secondary monitor as a full-screen output? Thanks, Gökhan

Hi Gökhan, There is no ChimeraX capability to make the graphics pane full screen, so it will not work with a 3D display that wants full-screen side-by-side stereo format. The graphics pane is not a docked panel like the other ChimeraX tools. The ChimeraX main window is a Qt QMainWindow which treats that center area specially and it cannot be detached into a floating window. I'm not sure how hard it would be to allow that. We are also working on glasses-free eye-tracked 3D displays such as the Sony Spatial Reality and Acer SpatialLabs displays. They use OpenXR and only work on Windows and only with 1 person viewing, and costly $3000-5000, so they have some limitations. Here's a description of trying the Sony 3D display with ChimeraX https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/sony3d-mar2025/sony3d.html Tom

Just as many of the sub-windows of ChimeraX can be docked and undocked (e.g., log, Models, etc.), is there way to ‘undock’ the main graphics window to make it full screen? Or, is there a way to display the graphics window on a secondary monitor as a full-screen output?
Thanks,
Gökhan
