Value for movies and easy setup, but music falls flat.

Agreed. I just got a 990d and I’m happy with it. Similar situation to OP but in a larger space. Living room is 15’x28’ (listening area is mostly 15’x18’ given the configuration of the furniture in the room) and open to another area as well (kitchen and dining area). I’ve heard better sound systems but I’m quite impressed with this one. It’s stupid easy to set up.. basically plug and play. The sound surprisingly fills the area quite well.
Just got the Q990D today . this thing is amazing
Same . I haven't owned another soundbar that came with subwoofer and side speakers so I can't compare it to anything else but damn this shit sounds amazing , how much better can a soundbar get lol
I got a Samsung q990d for my lg. I don’t regret it. Best soundbar I’ve ever had.
I’d say Samsung q990f. I have the q990d and love it.
Q990d is one of the better soundbars I’ve heard. That is why purchased it.
Absolutely. Tv speakers have been terrible for decades now. If you’re spending that much on a tv it’s really worth it to get a decent sound system to complete the experience. I have a Samsung q990d and it’s amazing.
Any soundbar can do. But depends on how immersed you want to be. A 200 dollar soundbar is not going to sound near as good as a 1000 dollar one. I have a Samsung q990 and it trumps every other soundbar I’ve had up to this point. I’d highly recommend it if you have the cash. But if not, any soundbar will be better than tv speakers.
I have the Samsung q990d and I don’t think anything else is better for watching movies.
I have a C1 OLED and Polk Signa soundbar in the bedroom, and works great with blackout curtains. Just got a TCL QM7K for our large and bright living room, paired with a Samsung Q990D soundbar; it’s a killer setup and near-OLED black levels but much, much brighter than the OLED. So if your room is actually bright, I would recommend TCL QM7K/QM8K paired with the Samsung Q990D/F depending on sales. I run our Apple TV 4K directly into the Q990D soundbar and it works flawlessly, with the Apple TV remote controlling everything.
