Looks like Samsung is trying to place the TV at the center of the 'digital hub', calling it 'Smart TV'. They are trying to take a commoditized product and differentiate it by adding Internet capabilities and then try to make it a sort of digital hub that can connect with Samsung's Galaxy tablet and music player. It will also be able to display Flash-based apps and access content from the cloud.
Nothing really innovative in my mind, and it seems it will be really easy for Vizio and other TV makers to easily copy these concepts.

CES 2011: RealNetworks Steps Past Apple & Google to Offer Cloud-Based Music
http://www.nytimes.com/external/readwriteweb/2011/01/06/06readwriteweb-ces-2011-realnetworks-step-past-apple-goog91313.html
Looks like RealNetworks is going to beat Apple and Google to the punch by offering cloud-based music sometime in the early part of this year. This service will allow users to purchase their music and keep it stored in the cloud so that they can access their music from anywhere--mobile phones, PCs, tablets, etc.
People have been waiting for Apple or Google to offer this service and there have been lots of rumors that Apple was going to announce a cloud-based music service last year especially after the purchase of LaLa, a company that provided services to users by taking the music on their PCs and putting it on the cloud so that they could access their music from anywhere.
We'll see if Apple and/or Google can finally deliver this service sometime this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple finally was able to deliver such a service, but it will be another round of tough negotiations with the music labels before this becomes a reality.
