Deeper Blacks, Vivid Colours Are Truly Cinematic – OLED & HCX Pro AI Processor – 4K OLED TVs have individually illuminated cells, to create natural colour and high contrast – where black, really is black. In parallel, our HCX Pro AI Processor instantly analyses the picture; finesses colour accuracy, contrast and clarity for step-up picture performance.

Dolby Atmos® – Found in the newest cinemas, and on our premium TVs expresses sound with astonishing clarity, richness and depth. Sound effects are precisely placed in virtual space and time to envelope you in the atmosphere.  *Dolby, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Theater Surround Pro – Turns home cinema into premium listening pleasure thanks to outstanding sound qualities and a wide selection of sound mode: soundscapes are impressive, bass is powerful and deep, and dialogues are crystal clear.

Optimal Picture And Sound With Auto AI – Using AI, MZ980 analyses the incoming signal, instantly adjusting picture and sound settings. Auto AI knows the best settings for sport, live music, movies and much more – so you can just sit back and enjoy.

Advanced Intelligent Sensing – Detecting the ambient room light colour temperature in addition to the room light brightness, adjusts the picture to deliver a more natural experience when, for example, watching under warm-coloured lights at nighttime.

Broad Compatibility With Multi HDR Formats – By supporting all HDR (High Dynamic Range) formats our premium TVs assure the best possible performance – regardless of picture source. Brightness and colour are optimised scene-by-scene; whether the source is Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10 or the new HDR10+ Adaptive format.  *Dolby, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Experience A New Dimension In HDR Viewing – Dolby Vision IQ – It literally adds a new dimension to viewing HDR thanks to the TV’s advanced ambient light sensor. Whether your living room is completely dark or brightly lit, the HDR picture is dynamically perfected for the best colour and contrast.  *Dolby, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Next-gen Filmmaker Mode With Intelligent Sensing – Enjoy your favourite movies as the director intended.

Amazing Netflix Action In Any Lighting Condition – Netflix series and films are made to exacting standards, so that they can look stunning on a big screen. Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode means your TV gets the best from their shows, whilst our exclusive ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display according to the room’s lighting conditions, delivering the experience their makers intended.  *Netflix streaming membership required.

Customize your environment to fit your mood by choosing from a selection of restful images and videos – and now enjoy immersive sound with the addition of Dolby Atmos compatible content. Perfect for mindfulness sessions or preparing for bed.

Our advanced panel almost halves input lag*, while HDMI 2.1 supports High Frame Rates (HFR) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for new levels of realism demanded by the latest gaming devices.  *Compared to 2020 OLED models.

Smooth And Intuitive Set-up For Gaming Devices – Enjoy easier and more intuitive game settings when connecting gaming devices into the TV via HDMI. Our new Game Control Board displays detailed game related information and you can easily check the setting status. To make your gaming experience even smoother, this can be accessed by 1 action if assigned to the My APP button.

Great Sound Whatever Your Play Style – Game Sound Mode allows for switching between 2 modes that optimize sound for the game you are playing.
