Does XF85 support 4k Dolby Vision input?

Hi there. I am considering buying a 43 inch XF85 TV (KD43XF8505) and I want to use it with an Apple TV outputting 4k Dolby Vision (I hate and don't want to use the built-in Android OS!).

 

I see the firmware update 6.560 `Introduces Dolby Vision support` and lists XF85 as supported but the info page also includes the confusing caveat "Selected Sony TVs (XF90 and AF8 Series) will support Dolby Vision with the software update".

 

So my questions are:

 

1. Does the update add Dolby Vision support to the 43 inch XF85?

2. Is Dolby Vision support available on all four HDMI inputs?

 

Thank you.

 

The only other 43 inch that I've seen with Dolby Vision support is a LG … I'd rather stick with SONY if I can!

XF85 does not support Dolby Vision and it is very bad at reproducing HDR in general. If you want to enjoy a high dynamic range you need to step up your game and go at least 900 series.

Thanks. Sounds like SONY doesn't offer a 43 inch with Dolby Vision.
