LOS ANGELES: There was no cocktail waitress suspended from the ceiling, no fairy figure splashing in the pool. No big light show, no splashy use of the Bellagio's fountains, not even the obligatory toast with the colourful, custom-crafted cocktail of the night. 

Samsung's CES TV preview event, to which the consumer electronics giant invited select industry press Jan 4 in Las Vegas ahead of the Jan 6 official press conference, was tame and subdued when compared to previous years.
