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.
3D sound of amazing clarity, richness and depth
Dolby Atmos®
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.

The intelligent way to great picture and sound
Always experience optimal picture and sound with auto AI
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
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 HDR formats
Multi HDR Format - 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.
