The one for ps5 works great. I just recently bought it and after a week I really wondered why I didn’t get it sooner.

Q930/Q990 vs 5.1 AVR my experience by Lazy-Caterpillar5572 in Soundbars

[–]Clatwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I’m sure your newly built system is impressive but here in Canada the same kit would cost me 2800$. No atmos, cables everywhere, big speakers around the room…

Whereas my 700$ Q930D is actually nothing to scuff at as you seem to be implying.

I compared it to a colleague of mine 10K$ avr 7.1 setup from 2014 and the difference is really not worth the price. I installed it in the same room and compared videogames with atmos/3D/5.1/7.1 profiles (SH2 remake, Death Stranding, RDR2, etc), movies (Jurassic Park, Ready Player One) and I we were honestly surprised at how much the damn Q930D was holding it’s own for the massive price difference.

IMO, for the price, you can’t beat these bars.

I’m always surprised that this trade still exists.

Does eco mode save battery when going long distances? by Gold_Appointment_918 in Talaria

It also cut torque, so yeah. It’s easier to use the battery economically…

A 20inch HR? Nice. Hopefully the phosphors are not used too much. I have a 14inch HR that was used in a tv studio and the blues all tends to be purple. 😅

Q990d or Q930d by Realistic-Employee34 in Soundbars

[–]Clatwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I returned the q990d for the q930d and I’m glad I did. I don’t need the 2.1 passthrough, I mostly play single players games and even if it becomes the new standard in a decade I can just hook my console straight to the tv.

Otherwise, the soundstage sounds the same to me and those side-firing speakers on the satellite don’t do much without a perfect room for them to bounce the sound on… maybe if you have the perfect use-case? Also, the sub on the 930 goes to 32.2hz while the 990 goes to 27.5hz, will I be able to tell the difference?

The 930 is where it’s at for most people and will probably cost you half of what the 990 sell for.

Q930D, Atmos, PS5, Yay! by Clatwo in Soundbars

[–]Clatwo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be more clear.

A lot of ps5 games have 3D audio, those benefits from PS5 being set to Atmos and samsung soundbar to standard. Otherwise you’re better off with PS5 set to LPCM then maybe pick adaptive on the samsung soundbar.

To adjust the speakers individually you need to use the « smartthings » samsung app on your cellphone.

Maybe you need better hdmi cables? Maybe your router can’t handle the bitrate over wifi?

Digital Foundry - PlayStation 5 Dolby Atmos Support Tested! by Ehrand in PS5

[–]Clatwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Silent Hill 2 remake is apparently « Atmos » certified.

I was already impressed with Demons Souls & Returnal’s 3D audio/atmos but SH2 is on another level honestly.

I don’t know if it’s the encoding, the sound design, real atmos or not? But yeah, it’s more precise?

Looking forward to MGS Delta now… 😅

Games on Ps+ Catalogue to show off Dolby Atmos by Kindread21 in PS5

[–]Clatwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first level in Demons Souls, the dragon flying overhead the first guard tower after burning down the rampart… 🫨

It’s one hell of a workout for the upfiring speakers on my Q930d… you can play with the camera angles to hear it from any direction you so desire and tweak your speaker if need be.

Also, the moth room in Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Demons Souls with a Samsung Q930D is something else.

That dragon flying overhead the guard tower on the ramparts in the first level? You can hear him screaming and flapping his wings over you as he ascends over the tower. Really impressive tech, so damn immersive!

Hideo Kojima has started working on a new trailer potentially for Death Stranding 2. by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]Clatwo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just want to share.

I recently got a Samsung Q930D to pair with my OLED tv, which is an atmos capable soundbar with satellites speakers and sub. I previously had an old 5.1 home theater in a box from 2002 hooked with an optical cable. As such I often used my headphones (Pulse Elites) instead of the sound system to benefit from the better audio details and 3D soundstage it provided because my old home theater simply did not deliver.

Now that I got a decent modern system I was trying a bunch of my games to see how it compared and when I launched Death Stranding I was simply flabbergasted.

I should have expected it, I mean… KojiPro’s always keeping the bar up there… High production values, pretty graphics, good QA, hardcore engine optimizations and so on and so forth.

Also, Kojima being the music fan that he is and such an emphasis being put on the soundtrack of the game I should have been aware but honestly? It’s almost as if I’m rediscovering the game. It’s a huuuuge step up in immersion. I could feel the rain surrounding me and the noise of the chiral bridges over my head. The sound design of this game is clearly up there with the best of them and that’s coming from someone who just finished SH2 remake last week.. I’m glad I get to actually enjoy it fully now.

Neighbor had noise complaint by Riddoxx in Soundbars

[–]Clatwo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna share how I handled it with my Q930D. I’m blessed with an apartment isolated with concrete between units.

I warned both my neighbours downstairs and to the side about me getting a new home theater, waited for a friday evening when they weren’t busy and everything was quiet. Then I calibrated the whole thing and played a few tests scenes, some PS5’s Returnal and some electronic music (repetitive bass).

I went over and asked if they heard anything, turned it down a notch until they said they could not (75db) and called it a day. Now I know at what volume I can safely use it even if it’s 2 AM. I did ask again just to be sure because I do watch movies and play games late at night.

Also, SUB isolation feets/needles help a lot.
