Q: Is this equipped with Dolby vision?

A: Dolby Vision will be implemented via a firmware update later in the year. Irrespective of manufacturer this seems to be the norm for 2017 models. Read the press release below. https://blog.sony.com/press/sony-electronics-introduces-all-new-bravia-oled-4k-hdr-tvs-with-unparalleled-black-levels-contrast/

Q: Does this TV support bluetooth for bluetooth headphones?

A: Hi Florian, Yes, XBR-55A1E supports the Bluetooth headphones. -Jay

Q: What is the price for 55" Sony Bravia OLED tv

A: Recently at $2999 and recently went down to $2799, I was within the window to get a adjustment for a $200 credit. These TV's are not cheap but I believe the technology will stand up for at least several years. I love the "smart" features, which I have only scratched the surface (i.e. Blue tooth headphones!)

Q: Can you mount this TV on the wall without wrecking the bass sound. Isn’t the bass onthis TV in the kickstand. If if does effect the sound, why put it there?

A: Hi Tvnerd, this TV features our newest Acoustic Surface technology which makes the whole screen the speaker. This TV can be mounted on the wall without reducing bass or overall audio quality.

Q: Hello, pardon my ignorance, does the Sony A1E oled have a built-in web browser for the internet? There are a few sites I am interested in streaming (MotoGP videopass the prime example) on a larger oled TV rather than my having to use a PC. thanx

A: There are several browsers available via the Google Play App Store, but nothing off the shelf. Choices in the store are “Web Browser for Android TV”, “Puffin TV - Fast Web Browser”, “Viewd Browser”, “TVWeb Browser for TV” and more. None of these are the built-in browser that comes with the set itself, but the built-in version is only accessed via the online help guides, so I treat it like it doesn’t exist because of its purpose-built usefulness and functionality.
