The best of the best!

I have always considered myself to be an audiophile. I have an amazing setup for my vinyl records, but I have never been able to get sound that I was happy with from my TV. That changed when I got the Q990D! My previous sound bar was the Q990A and that was a good bar, but it had its annoyances. I am happy to say all of those have been fixed and I am extremely satisfied with the Q990D.
The build quality is exceptional. It has a metal mesh screen around the top and sides to cover the speakers with a small display on the front that is hidden and only shows up when you change the volume or input or sound mode.
Hooking it up is very easy. I used 1 HDMI cable from my TV’s eARC out to the sound bar. The sound bar also has 2 other HDMI ports with 4k passthrough so you can use those to hook up gaming machines or blu-ray players and things like that. To set up the subwoofer and rear speakers, all I had to do was plug them in and they automatically connected.
I fired up movies that I knew had good Atmos action scenes in them and I was blown away. It had a rich and full sound. The bass, mids, and highs were all represented perfectly and clearly. The sound filled the room and you felt like you were in the middle of the action!
The companion app allowed me to tweak things further with adjustments for each of the channels as well as a full 7 band EQ. Within minutes, I had my sound perfectly dialed in!
Next, I tried a little music. Normally I would never listen to music through my sound bar because it sounds horrible. I loaded up some Hi-Res music files and I was shocked because they sounded really good. Not as good as my dedicated music stereo system, but I was very surprised that the music was very listenable. I also played spatial audio tracks through it and they also sounded amazing and were very immersive. I wish in the app you could have a few different custom EQ’s saved so I could have one set up for music and one for TV and movies. Its a pain having to go in and change EQ settings when I switch from TV to music. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the sound It seems that Samsung has really been listening to its customers through the evolution of the QD sound bar line and have made lots of positive changes. It has now morphed into what I think is probably one of the best sound bars money can buy. If you are looking for the best of the best, this is it
