LAS VEGAS -- Samsung, the world leader in televisions and a household name in the "Smart TV" sector, revealed some new and stunning displays at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Tim Baxter, President of Samsung Electronics America, took to the stage at the Mandalay Bay on the Vegas Strip in a room packed to the brim with journalists to announce a number of exciting and upcoming products from Samsung.

The room was eager to be impressed as Samsung has had an absolutely abysmal year with falling smartphone sales and profit drop-offs for four quarters running.

The first device Baxter unveiled to the room was the SSD T1. As soon as we saw the title and Tim Baxter holding this tiny, thin, sleek, black device in his hands, we knew what it was. It's a 1 terabyte external Solid State Drive smaller than a business card.

Samsung is promising to make storage truly portable and in an SSD no less. Solid State Drives offer a low-weight, reliable and a magnitudes-faster alternative to traditional hard drives. Those perks though will run you $600 for the 1TB model, which at $0.60 a gigabyte isn't actually that bad, though hard drives are still at about $0.04-$0.06 a gigabyte.

Next in the lineup was the true star of the show -- the television. Samsung, along with speakers Joe Stinziano, a VP at Samsung, and Mike Dunn, the President of Home Entertainment at 20th Century Fox, and Hollywood colorist Stephen Nakamura ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Exodus: Gods and Kings," etc.) announced their new television with much fanfare. While it seems Dunn was having the hardest time reading from the teleprompter, it didn't prevent Samsung from smoothly rolling out their new "SUHD" TV.

The new "SUHD" television take advantage of a new display technology that is all the rage at CES this year called "Quantum Dot." The new technology allows displays to present a higher range of colors than regular LCDs. In the simplest terms, Quantum Dot is all about reducing the amount of contrast, color, and brightness lost in the normal method of purifying reds, blues, and greens in traditional LCDs.

Samsung's SUHD televisions are expected to hit the market later this year.
