Bay of Lights Development: Building Community through Commitment and Care

SIHANOUKVILLE, CAMBODIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 June 2024 – The Bay of Lights township project in Sihanoukville recently delivered care packages consisting of essential food supplies to 70 families facing hardship in Ong Village, Ream commune. This initiative is part of the project’s commitment to supporting the well-being of local communities, showcasing the comprehensive efforts behind this transformative project.

The care packages, consisted of rice, instant noodles, canned fish, and various cooking essentials, serve as immediate support for local families neighboring the Bay of Lights township. While they provide essential relief, they are part of a broader effort to engage and support the community as the area undergoes transformation.
“Our mission at Bay of Lights is to build a vibrant, sustainable community that surpasses expectations, harmonizing with Sihanoukville’s scenic coast. Beyond our development goals, we are deeply committed to the social well-being of the community,” said a Bay of Lights spokesperson. “While providing care packages is one aspect of our support, offering substantial employment opportunities is a key part of our mission. Many residents from Ong Village now work with us, which ensures that as our project grows, so does the community. It’s about building a future where the community and the project evolve together.”
Since its groundbreaking, the Bay of Lights project has worked closely with local authorities and community leaders, ensuring that development aligns with community interests. This collaboration has led to substantial local employment opportunities in sectors from construction to hospitality, and the enhancement of the area’s economic activity through attractions and events such as a Beach Club, go-kart track, and festivals like Skyfest and Halloween Village. These efforts not only meet immediate developmental needs but also promote long-term economic growth in the community.
Beyond promoting the local economy, the Bay of Lights continues to strengthen community support through strategic partnerships and meaningful contributions. The project has collaborated with the local NGO M’Lop Tapang to address broad community needs and responded to last year’s severe weather in Preah Sihanouk by donating USD 10,000 and 2,000 roofing materials for disaster recovery. Further enhancing community welfare, Bay of Lights has partnered with Plan International Cambodia to install pedal-operated handwashing stations in local schools, promoting safe hygiene practices and supporting a healthier, post-pandemic return to education.
These initiatives highlight how the Bay of Lights project is not just about building structures but about creating a supportive and cohesive community. The behind-the-scenes efforts to support the local community underscore a commitment to social sustainability, ensuring that the development of the township positively impacts every resident.

Samsung Unveils New 2024 Odyssey OLED, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity Lineups in Singapore
- Latest Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32″ Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, AI and burn-in prevention capabilities
- New AI features bring enhanced entertainment to Smart Monitor M8, while the new ViewFinity models maximise creativity and ease of use to enable more efficient workplaces
- Experience the 2024 Odyssey OLED gaming monitor line-up at The Odyssey Never Stops pop-up at Marina Bay Sands from 20 June to 14 July
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 June 2024 – Samsung Electronics Singapore today launched its 2024 Odyssey OLED gaming monitor, Smart Monitor and ViewFinity monitor lineups.

These new and updated models bring features that people want — as well as some they don’t expect — to deliver new experiences, no matter how they use their monitors. The Odyssey lineup delivers a next-level OLED experience with new AI capabilities[1] incorporated into the Odyssey OLED G8; the Smart Monitor lineup heightens joy with enhanced entertainment features along with a new Smart Monitor M8 powered by AI; and the ViewFinity lineup boosts connectivity to create a complete workstation.
“Samsung continues to strengthen our position as the number 1 OLED monitor brand globally with the launch of our 2024 Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor, equipped with groundbreaking AI with burn-in prevention features to enhance the gaming experience. With a diverse range of monitors catering to every use case possible in our 2024 monitor line-ups, including the AI-powered Smart Monitor M8 and updated ViewFinity monitors, we remain committed to delivering the ultimate visual and user experience for everyone, no matter how their use their monitors,” said Jacus Long, Head of Display Business, Samsung Electronics Singapore.
Odyssey OLED Series: Visual Excellence with New Burn-In Prevention Features
The 2024 Odyssey OLED models – Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD model) and Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SD model) – showcase Samsung’s next-generation OLED performance with new and enhanced features.

The Odyssey OLED G8 is the first flat 32″ Samsung OLED gaming monitor with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms gray-to-gray (GtG) response time for ultra smooth and responsive gameplay. The Odyssey OLED G6 is a 27″ QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor, supporting a 16:9 aspect ratio. Its 360Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time make it easy for gamers to keep up with fast-moving gameplay.
The new Odyssey OLED G8 is Samsung’s first OLED gaming monitor powered by AI. The NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, which is the same processor Samsung uses in its 2024 8K TV, upscales content to nearly 4K when using Samsung Gaming Hub [2] and the monitor’s native Smart TV apps for higher resolution in gaming and entertainment.[3]
Both new OLED models feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+, a new proprietary burn-in protection technology. This technology is the first in the world to prevent burn-in by applying a pulsating heat pipe to the monitor. Additionally, the Dynamic Cooling System evaporates and condenses a coolant to diffuse heat five times[4] more effectively than the older graphite sheet method, which prevents burn-in by reducing temperature at the core. The monitor also detects static images like logos and taskbars, automatically reducing their brightness to provide another means of burn-in prevention.[5]
The Odyssey OLED G8 and OLED G6 both deliver unmatched OLED picture quality with a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.), while FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the GPU and display panel synced up to eliminate choppiness, screen lag and screen tearing.
Samsung’s new OLED Glare Free technology[6] also preserves colour accuracy and reduces reflections while maintaining image sharpness to ensure an immersive viewing experience, even in daylight. The OLED-optimised, low-reflection coating overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection thanks to a new, specialised hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern.
Both monitors feature a super slim metal design that gives them a distinct identity, while Core Lighting+ enhances entertainment and gaming experiences with ambient lighting that synchronises with the screen. The ergonomic stand also makes long gaming sessions more comfortable with adjustable height, tilt and swivel support features.
The launch of the 2024 Odyssey OLED monitors further strengthens Samsung’s OLED monitor market leadership, following soon after Samsung achieved the top position in global sales in the OLED monitor market within only one year of launching its first OLED model.[7] This achievement underscores Samsung’s rapid ascent in the competitive OLED monitor market while reinforcing its commitment to diversifying its gaming monitor lineup with models that leverage the company’s proprietary OLED technology.
Smart Monitor M8: AI Processing for Crystal Clear Video and Audio
The updated Smart Monitor lineup brings together a complete multi-device experience into one hub for smarter entertainment and greater productivity. The upgraded 2024 models include the M8 (M80D model), M7 (M70D model), and the M5 (M50D model).

The upgraded 32″ 4K UHD Smart Monitor M8 introduces new features powered by AI with the NQM AI processor, taking entertainment experiences to the next level. AI upscaling brings lower resolution content up to nearly 4K[8], and Active Voice Amplifier Pro uses AI to analyse background noise in the user’s environment to optimise dialogue in the user’s content.[9] 360 Audio Mode[10] is available on the M8, which pairs with Galaxy Buds to create an immersive sound environment. The built-in SlimFit Camera also makes it easy to conduct video calls through mobile applications with Samsung Dex.[11]
New to the entire line of Smart Monitors is a Workout Tracker,[12] which pairs with a Galaxy Watch to enable real-time health data on the screen, even while streaming content. This makes it easier to track workout goals and can make working out more enjoyable.
These new features enhance the already impressive Smart Monitor functionality. Complementing the Smart Monitor are the Smart TV apps and Samsung TV Plus[13], which provide instant access to a wide range of streaming services and live content, without needing to boot up a PC or connect other devices.[14]
The M7 is available in 32″ and 43″ with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a brightness of 300 nits (Typ.) and a GtG response time of 4ms. The M5 is available in 27″ and 32″, with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080), a brightness of 250 nits (Typ.) and a GtG response time of 4ms.
ViewFinity Series: Maximising Creativity and Ease of Use
Optimised for creatives and professionals, and built with responsible practices, the latest ViewFinity lineup includes the ViewFinity S8 (S80UD and S80D models) and the ViewFinity S6 (S60UD and S60D models).

The updated 2024 ViewFinity monitors[15] uses a minimum of 10% recycled plastic and does away with the application of chemical sprays to the plastic components.[16]
The Easy Setup Stand is put together with one quick click, requiring no tools or screws, making it fast and easy to set up and enjoy the ViewFinity’s vibrant display. Every 2024 ViewFinity monitor supports HDR10 and the display of 1 billion colours, ensuring accurate colour representation, while also integrating TÜV-Rheinland-certified Intelligent Eye Care features to alleviate eye strain during prolonged work periods.
The ViewFinity S8 offers 27″ and 32″ screen options, each with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution, a refresh rate of 60Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.). They also feature a USB hub for easy connectivity and a height-adjustable stand. The S80UD model includes a new KVM switch for easy connection and switching between two different input devices, as well as a USB-C port that allows users to charge devices with up to 90W of power.
The ViewFinity S6 is available in 24″, 27″ and 32″ options, each with QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution, a refresh rate of 100Hz and a brightness of 350 nits (Typ.), including a USB hub and height-adjustable stand.
