SEA FORUM, SINGAPORE – March 2, 2010 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. set an
exciting course for continued growth in the Southeast Asia & Oceania region
today as the inaugural Samsung Southeast Asia & Oceania Forum opened at the
SUNTEC Singapore Convention Center. Samsung unveiled its breakthrough lineup of
Full HD 3D solutions that will be available to the Southeast Asia & Oceania
market later this month. The company also showcased innovative new offerings in
the areas of digital imaging and home appliance and aggressive growth plans in
the IT sector.
Before hundreds of media and partners, a team of executives from throughout
Samsung Southeast Asia & Oceania led a showcase of Samsung’s 2010 product
lineup, highlighted by the company’s award-winning solution of full HD 3D
entertainment products announced earlier this year. A range of new home
appliance products was highlighted by the union of sleek design and advanced
technology in the areas of refrigerators and washing machines. The display
division heralded the arrival of Samsung’s new eBook while the newly merged PC
and printer divisions showed off a new design ID for notebooks and netbooks as
well as one-touch functionality for all printers.
The two-day Forum was launched this year as one of five events around the world
designed to bring a regional market vision to Samsung’s global product and
strategic announcements. Samsung’s executives also discussed strategic
initiatives and exciting new products to the digital imaging and display
divisions. These are critical emerging areas of growth for Samsung to build on
its 2009 success. Last year, the company posted record revenues of more than
US$117 billion and a full-year operating profit of close to US$9.4 billion.
Throughout today’s presentation, Samsung also reaffirmed its commitment to the
environment both in terms of innovative new product features and new green
initiatives.
“Samsung overcame a difficult economy in 2009 and Southeast Asia & Oceania
continued to be a strong hub for both production and rising sales,” said Gregory
Lee, CEO of Samsung Southeast Asia & Oceania. “In 2010, we must continue to tap
into the fervent passion for consumer electronics in this region by providing
our consumers a relentless stream of new products based on technology, superior
design and service.”
Creating the Future of Home Entertainment
In 2009, Samsung created the LED TV category, selling more than 2.6 million
units worldwide. This year Samsung is breaking new ground in 3D. This month,
Samsung will be the first to deliver to Southeast Asia & Oceania a comprehensive
3D TV and AV product line-up, which includes a range of Full HD 3D televisions
(LED, LCD and plasma), 3D Blu-ray, 3D home theater systems, 3D glasses and 3D

Forum attendees will have the opportunity to take a look at the rich features of
Samsung’s new LED TV line-up – the C7000, C8000 and C9000 LED TVs. All of
Samsung’s Full HD 3D products possess Samsung’s unique built-in 3D processor and
emitter that enable compatibility with multiple 3D standards. Samsung is
offering Full HD 3D content on a number of fronts. Samsung televisions and Blu-ray
players will feature Internet@TV, which
provides access to the world’s first HDTV-based application store, Samsung Apps.
Applications are available from leading brands such as YouTube, Twitter and
gameloft.
Content will also be available from Samsung’s exclusive partnership with
