OLED Panel & HCX Pro AI Processor – For deeper blacks and vivid colours.
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 Vision – Experience a new dimension with a combination of Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ adaptive technology.
Dolby Vision IQ 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 Atmos – Enjoy a 360-degree sound experience.
Dolby Atmos® - Found in the newest cinemas - and for you 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.
Theatre Surround Pro – For clarity, richness and depth.
Theatre Surround Pro turns home cinema into premium listening pleasure thanks to outstanding sound qualities and a wide selection of sound modes soundscapes are impressive, bass is powerful and deep, and dialogues are crystal clear.
Game Mode Extreme – Epic speed, resolution and uninterrupted motion for every game, with instant access to settings and key features.
Game Mode Extreme means our new selected 4K OLED TVs are ready for action. Impress other players with your skills where our advanced OLED 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. The MZ980 TV grants you easy and fast access to game settings and key information without interrupting your game, using the Game Control Board feature.
