Samsung - QS730D

The best option for the Samsung TV specifically would be either the Q600C or the Q730D. They both use Q-Symphony (uses soundbar and tv speakers for fuller sound), and they can both be controlled through one remote/app (Samsung Smart things).

Get a Samsung QS-730D from BB. Or, find the used/Amazon Renewed Q-800 (my personal setup is Q-800D with SWA-9500S rear speakers)

Try to get a QS730D if you can. Theres not much difference between the D and F series. If anything the D series is better.

Yes, but I'd wager that he wants a full body sound stage. Pick up an open box Q-600C/F or QS-730D, then test it out. You'll be very surprised. I personally have a Samsung Q-800D (5.1.2) with Samsung SWA-9500S rear speakers (2.0.2) combined with the TV speakers (Q-Symphony) for a total of a 7/9.2.4 channel surround sound system. Along with the 77" S90D streaming through an Apple TV 4K ethernet model, it's truly an immersive experience! You won't be disappointed if you decide to get one. Even go to Best Buy and listen to a demo model on display!

Get a Q600F and turn the sub down to -1 or -2. Great little system. Or, find a QS-730D. Its the same 3.1.2 system but with a better audio processor than the 600 series.

If you can do without the Dolby Atmos, just get yourself a somewhat entry level Samsung, [Samsung HW-B750](https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-HW-B750D-ZA-Soundbar-Expansion/dp/B0CTKTRYX7?th=1) This really does punch above its weight, I think I have a 730 C? That is more than enough to change how you hear TV content. I did have a 9 series Samsung and that was immersive, huge sound. Samsung do make some of the best soundbars around, 7 series is what I would be looking at and fits your budget.

I picked up a 3 month old Samsung QS730D with rears 9500s which makes it a 5.1.4 for $190 shipped.

Hw-qs730d (used, search internet) + 9500 rears (used) from bestbuy. Definitely will fit under your budget and even allow you to add stands for the rears.

The Q-Anything is nice. I freaking love, e'm. Just snatched up HW-QS730d(3ch atmos) and SWA-9500's(rear ch atmos). I'll say this for sure, it gets LOUD. So, a 5.1.4 gives great ATMOS.

If you can spend the extra to get the QS730D, definitely do it. The subwoofer is a lot better and will make a night and day difference!

I have the HW-Q730D it's 3.1.2 so you have Dolby Atmos.

I have the qh-730d 3.1.2 sounds great and I bought the rears.

I'm cheap I bought the Q730D and added rears. Sounds Good to be .

I currently have a qs730d with 9500s rears its good but im just looking for something new for the new tv

The Samsung tv will help with center channel with the Q symphony I believe. Prob will not notice much if at all. Samsung as others had said is def a far better bang for your buck. I don’t consider myself an audio expect but I had what I thought was a nice lg 5.1.2 soundbar and the Samsung blows it away. Voice clarity is what shocked me the most. All ranges of sounds are more defined and crisp even when only steaming. 4k Blu-ray Discs up the level another few notches. There are a bunch of posts on this subreddit explaining how to save a bunch of money ordering some Samsung directly if you choose to go with that soundbar
