Samsung promises to “lead the industry in creating the 3D market this year” by delivering the widest range of products, as well as shepherding home 3D titles, the first of which will be DreamWorks Animation’s “Monsters vs. Aliens,” out later this year to coincide with Samsung’s new 3D Blu-ray player.

Detailing the company’s vision for “a complete 3D home ecosystem,” Baxter also raised the curtain on a line of plasma and LCD TVs and, later this year, a 3D home theater system with active shutter glasses. Content partners include Accedo, Accweather, the Associated Press, Blockbuster, Netflix, Twitter, YouTube and USA Today, among others.

Also announced: Samsung Apps, a multi-device store for TV and mobile devices.  Samsung Apps currently features applications for mobile devices and PCs.  The open-platform TV apps will hit the US market in spring and summer.
