Hey Team. If you’ve got the Q990B can you let me know if: 1. You get dropouts 2. You’re happy with the Soundbars performance I think this will be helpful for those looking at buying it to gauge how others are finding it. Cheers 😊

I've had the 990 for 2 months in my 10'x12.5' living room. Rears are 8' from bar and 5'ft from listening position about 1' behind my ear level. Zero dropouts. Sounds amazing and I hear sounds in familiar movies I haven't heard before. I set the rear level at -3 as well as the sub. I have a soon to be 3 year old Hisense with just Arc but recently added a Firestick Max 4k as it's Wifi 6 capable. Full Dolby Atmos and Vision and in addition the Firestick and Hisense remote both operate the 990 and surprisingly the Hisense remotes even operates the Firestick with the exception of the Home key which will bring me to the Hisense homescreen. I highly recommend the 990, best sound I've had in my living room.

I’m glad you did this video! I’ve already commented before on previous videos but long story short; I started out with 990B, returned it and returned the second 990b all due to horrible drop out issues. I should note that I have a fairly small room with my router being on the other side of the house. I have very little interference in my TV room. I personally couldn’t keep something with drop out issues due to the fact, I would constantly be thinking about the damn speakers and wondering if the surround speakers were on or not. I needed a Soundbar with DTS support and I have an LG Oled so I went with LG S95QR. I’m very happy with the s95. I do believe the Samsung subwoofer is just better overall which lends to better sound overall. I also think the Samsung room calibration made more of a difference. I don’t use it for music so for music idk which is better.. also, the LG took more tinkering with channel levels to sound best. I sit close to my surrounds so I dropped those down 2 levels and max out overhead with side channel up 3 levels.. I found the surround sound quality or 3d bubble to be just as good as Samsung 990b. The LG works great in my room! I’d much prefer not worrying about speaker drop outs and have in my opinion a slightly lesser quality in sound. It’s not as if the LG is crazy distorted either, I even like the tonality of it. It’s just unfortunately let down by the subwoofer and subsequent crossover. It almost feels as if LG didn’t put enough effort into the fine tuning which is unfortunate… since it clearly has the power.. Anyways I’m happy with the LG, it great for movies and I’ve had no issues pairing it with my LG Oled. Again, for me so many bars lacking DTS was frustrating also..

Samsung Soundbar HW-Q7CB w/ Dolby Atmos is on sale at Costco. It's 250$ off the original pirce and expires tomorrow (Nov. 20, 2022) we have never bought a sound bar and have no idea if this is a good sound bar or even a good buy. Can you tell me if this has a good sound and does the sub have good bass? We were using comp speakers & subwoofer and that worked great for years. We upgraded our TV and the new TV does not have the proper hookups for our comp speakers & sub.

Does the PS4 Pro (which I currently still own) and the PS5 (tba lol) also support Dolby Atmos? They do with supported bluerays I suppose. And also heard rumours they do now with some streaming services like Disney+ and HBO Max, or only so on PS5? (No Netflix or KZitem I guess yet :( ) You have by any chance some more info about that?

Hi, Iam still confused about the placement of rear speakers. I have placed them right next to my sofa as there is a wall behind it. Do I need to point the Samsung logo on rear speakers forward facing soundbar or turn towards my ear. Which is the best way to get the optimal rear and Atmos sound ?
@patb5266
Жыл бұрын
Turn towards your ears, ideally aim them so the front drivers point to a spot in front of you. Keep in mind the side drivers, if you point the front drivers directly at your ears the side drivers send more information forward and less to the sides as it reflects of the walls. Try both and see what you like, depends of your listening room as well and how close the side walls are to the rear speakers.

Do I profit from Samsung's synergy if I have an Ultra Short Throw Projector (LSP9T) instead of a TV, as well? There is literally no information if the LSP9T can do Q-Symphony with the Q990b. I also don't know if I can control its volume with the laser TV's remote. And finally - where do I place an atmos soundbar when using a UST projector? mounting it to the wall is not so easy because I live in Germany, so like most houses there I don't have drywall but reinforced ferroconcrete walls. Hiding the cables is virtually impossible unless I violate the walls with a demolition hammer.

Samsung's UST Projectors still give you most of the features from their TV's. It's got an eARC port so connecting a Soundbar will still give you volume control through the Projectors Remote. I setup one at the end of last year for a customer of mine and was surpirsed at how much it ran like their TV's. It definitely requires a darker room than their Qled's but if you've got that, it looks amazing! Soundbar and Projector placement is a difficult one. Placing them on a deep cabinet could work otherwise the projector can be mounted to the ceiling straight above your cabinet. Re the Q-Symphony: I don't think it has that and I wouldn't worry about it too much as the speakers in the projector aren't spaced out wide like they are on the back of their TV's. The Q990B without Q-Symphony still sounds amazing and in my view Q-Symphony isn't required for a great experience.

Hi Josh, great video there! My current Samsung andriod TV (AU7000) does comes with eARC but it can't decode Dolby ATMOS. If I stream ATMOS content through Netflix from the TV above, could Q990B reproduce ATMOS?

Thanks Wai 😄 Unfortunately since your TV won't send through an Atmos signal no Soundbar will be able to play Atmos from it. Your best bet is to get the Q990B and plug in an Atmos capable streaming device such as an Apple TV or Xbox directly into the Soundbars HDMI IN port. Those devices will let you watch netflix in Atmos through the Q990B. Check out this video if you want more details: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xGuQ2oZ3aqp5eH4

In my opinion, Yes. Maximising the channels a soundbar has is more important than having the most channels. The other thing to note is that soundbars are limited in size and how far away they can space their drivers whereas a traditional home theatre system you can place the speakers futher apart to get better stereo seperation.

There's 2 HDMI ports on the Q930B... 1 of them is HDMI ARC (also known as HDMI Out) and 1 HDMI input. The input is for plugging a gaming console, blu player or streaming device and the soundbar will pass through the video signal to the TV. The HDMI ARC (HDMI Out) is for connection to the TV which lets your TV remote control the soundbars volume and turn it on and off. Hope this clears things up.

Can you still get Dolby Atmos using the Fire TV cube as input source, which is connected to the HDMI (not ARC/eARC) of the TV, in which the eARC of the TV is in turn connected to the eARC of the Q990B?

if you have eARC in your tv connect it to Q990B eARC port and all your streaming device to tv's other HDMI inputs and you'll get Dolby Atmos.

I bought this week so I didnt try that much. Im still waiting for the support for the rear speaker. I would say if you have the money, its worth it especially with rabate like this week. I didnt go over 35(level) sound that things shaked a bit XD... I didnt have lost signal for the rear speaker, at least, I didnt notice. Im coming from a LG SL8YG which lose the signal from the subwoofer. Im not impress with Q-Symphony since you have only 2 sound option (adaptive and gaming).

Adaptive Sound is the best option in my opinion. The difference between it and surround is a tightening or better focus and position of dialogue whereas surround spreads out the "stage". Adaptive seems to also have a slightly more pronounced high frequency range, more like an upward slope of frequencies from the midrange and up. Try both and see what you like and game setting too.
