I bought this soundbar a couple of days ago. Best buy i've made in years. I'll be saving for a Samsung Q-Oled tv next, still a bit pricy at the moment though. I have my PC connected to it and my 65" TV. Superb sound and works great with games as well. As i said, best buy i've made in years.

Did you connect your PC to the passthrough on the bar first or the TV first and then earc it to the bar? I had pretty bad audio lag in game mode processing dolby on last years Q models, wondering if this years handles it any better? Do you have any appreciable audio delay?

And its Black! Not this dark gray of the 990C. This would better fit in most Setups. Also it packs a new "Party Mode" using the satellite speakers to create a fuller sound for music playback. These key differences are missing in this review...

Hello, do you have issues with the q950a, soundbar disconnecting from the tv every few weeks or maybe a month apart? On the display it would say it still connected as ARC but there is no sound and does not show up on the tv sound options menu. If I unplug the soundbar for a minute for the issue to go away.

2025 would be a perfect time to upgrade my setup. Rebuild a PC with a new GPU (nvidia blackwell should come out next year), new AMD Granite Ridge CPU, possibly grab a new OLED TV. And finally grab this for half the price (you can look how deep Samsung discounts 990C), get proper 2.1 support with VRR without pain (audio-sync with PC is a notable point with the previous model). I had to wait for years for proper 4k gaming to reach reasonable consumers, but I think it's finally time.

I’m from India. I bought a q990d a month back after watching a lot of reviews on KZbin. Mostly made my decision after watching yours and Andrews review 😅. The sheer sound quality and surround of the soundbar with the sub and two rear is just mind blowing! I totally agree with you I can’t stress how much of a bang for buck the whole system is. I bought it along with an 85’’ Samsung neo qled qn85d. Q symphony is great but i might add I’m not sure if the tv speakers produce enough output to make a difference but it’s just a complete package and sounds great. I added an Apple TV 4K to my set up last week and I’ve had a ps5 for quite some time now. All these things included. I’ve used all HDMI 2.1 cables behind my tv unit to make it clean without any wires poking out and mounted my soundbar below the TV. MAN! I’m so proud of my setup and can’t stop bragging about it. My living room is my ADDA now. I’d rather spend time here than anywhere else. Might sound like a couch potato but that I am. Big fan of your videos from India. Cheers to the q990d 🔥

Great review. How does it compare to the Sony HT G700? I often have problems understanding the dialog with the Sony soundbar because everything (sounds, music, voices) gets mixed up, even if the overall quality is not entirely bad. But I usually prefer to use headphones as I can hear the voices very clearly. And that's why I'm thinking about getting the Samsung HW-Q990D. Does that make sense?

@@ritupansarmah9795 my q600b is great for music, set on pcm rather than Dolby it pass thru. Vocals and double bass sound very good, which I think are usually a trade off with soundbars and the sound range is very realistic. My sub never goes past -2 and theres no boom,so I think the 990 can only be a vast improvement over mine as well. Standard setting is best as DSP options drag the vocals about, but can sound good for instrumental parts. Movies sound amazing as long as everything is Dolby digital upwards, but 2 channel old films still sound great 🙃

Depends on a lot of factors. If you connect your primary device to the soundbar input, and then soundbar then into the tv, then you will get full benefit using that device even without eARC as eARC is not being utilized. However, if you want to use your TV like a hub with all your input devices connected to it, then you will need eARC to get the full benefit of features.

It has spacefit sound pro which calibrates the sound to your room after analyzing your environment. There are more customizable settings in the SmartThings app. It has AVA which optimizes the voices so that dialogue is crisp and clear even in scenes with loud music and/or sound effects. Overall, the sound and bass fill the room more than the Q90R which is already 5 years old.

Kind request to RTINGS about this samsung soundbar HW-Q990D will do well with Sony Bravia XR 55" X90L TV? Expect s-center speaker of sony tv, how's the sound quality, clarity with both devices connected? Is it only loud sound with sony bravia x90l tv attached? How's the surround sound produce clearly, not with high volume? In 50% volume, how's the sound clarity from samsung soundbar connected with this sony bravia x90l tv? Please can you test this Samsung soundbar HW-Q990D with other TV's especially with sony bravia x90l tv? As Sony soundbars are in high price with somehow both matchable features by this samsung soundbar , but some features maybe less. So i am requesting you kindly, consider to test this Samsung soundbar HW-Q990D with Sony Bravia XR 55 X90L TV, also with other brand tv too, and show the results please.. please consider to test with sony tv?

Does anyone know if the subwoofer is an 8" or 10" sub?

these are the dimensions we recorded in our full review on our website! Width 8.8" (22.4 cm) Height 16.1" (40.9 cm) Depth 16.1" (40.9 cm) The sub is about the same size as a desktop computer. It connects to the bar wirelessly, so you can place it anywhere in your room.

Usually the subwoofer is an 8", since it's similar to Q990A, B , C

I hope Samsung creates a larger more powerful Sub in the future that can be connected to 990 series as an upgrade. I feel it lacks some deep punch on bass compared to other sound systems “cough Klipsch” other then need for Bass from Sub this System is really good

You have re-used text from TV reviews - "Should you buy this TV?" 6:15 onwards. This is a soundbar, right?

So no 4K 144Hz passthrough? Are you sure? I find it strange that the latest Samsung OLED TV supports 144Hz, but the soundbar does not.

Plug your stuff into the tv. You only need to pass audio to the soundbar.

@@flyoverfredusa there is a 7 band equaliser even on the 600b. If you have a 4k Samsung TV it will integrate with the TVs own sound menu, and appears on screen. But there is a 7 band accessible from the app on this bar, and from the remote but this is a bit fiddly 🙃

I Love my blu rays. Sound quality is far superior to other media and disk holds exponentially more video than others. You will never see deleted scenes or alternate endings from streamed movies. Streamed movies also are often edited to cut out undesirable content.

@@spacecadet2172 it’s 4 characters for one, so now I know you’re just being a petty little brat. And again, that’s enough to give you the info you need from a soundbar. Plus most info will show up on the tv screen. Besides most of us that can afford stuff like this would rather it be minimal in the first place. We like the minimal look and don’t need a 10” screen distracting us with useless information.
