Sony was a laggard to the Dolby Vision party. Though they now support Dolby Vision, it is a "streamlined" version that Dolby created specifically for Sony (because of a constraint related to processor capability on the Sony TVs). So you need to have components that specifically support the Sony version of Dolby Vision for them to work with these TVs.
If this sounds confusing, that's because it is confusing! If you have a recent Sony UHD Blu-ray player it will read the Dolby Vision meta data on the disk and down convert it to the version that the Sony TV supports.
Sony needs to get their act together and phase out this one-off variant in 2019. If Dolby Vision is important to you, recognize that you will like have headaches getting a Dolby Vision video feed from external devices. Should not be an issue for apps on the TV though.
Good price for an 85" TV of this caliber though.
