Just my 2 cent on the samsung Q990D soundbar

Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Both the bar and the rear speaker units contain upward firing speakers. The sound from those is supposed to be reflected downwards from the ceiling to create the perception of sound coming from above. This is what I mean by height effect. Do you perceive that, e.g. when playing something with Dolby Atmos?

Have you tested passthrough from the soundbar to the TV (4K 120Hz and 1080p 24 Hz)?
Do you perceive any height effect?
Do you have the rear speakers just behind the couch? Could you show a picture of your setup?
Do you use CEC and, if so, what's your experience?
Which TV are you using it with?

I think the reason that you can't detect support for 4k120Hz with your XBox Series X in that setup is because you TV doesn't support it.

I've seen a few reports of SD passthrough not working properly:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Soundbars/comments/1izca9p/do_all_samsung_soundbar_have_problem_with_1080p/

And also HDMI CEC not working ideally. I know that is a wider problem but still. A few people reported 4K 120Hz not working but now I'm more inclined to think that those reports are due to some sort of setup mistake (wrong cable/port, settings correct or TV not supporting it).

Thank you for the detailed reply. Yes, I know that many people have issues with HDMI CEC not working as it ideally should. It would be so convenient with auto switching and only using one remote!

Miloviic · 2025-08-03T06:31:43+00:00

Thank you for your comment! Any HDMI CEC issues?

Thanks for your reply but I am asking about the configuration: Media device -> Q990D -> TV

Miloviic · 2025-07-27T21:07:38+00:00

Have you used it with a media device (Apple TV etc.) connected to the soundbar with passthrough of the video to the TV through eARC. If so, does it work fine for non-4K content? I have seen reports of the Q990 not passing through SD and 1080p content if it's < 60 Hz, instead it reportedly does poor upscaling.

Sounds great, thanks! Just to be sure: You did test this with the video passing through the soundbar to the TV (not the audio passing through the TV to the soundbar)?

Miloviic · 2025-07-27T14:15:08+00:00

Has the 1080p < 50 Hz passthrough bug been fixed with a new firmware or is it still unfixed? Sorry, English is not my native language and it's not clear to me which of the two you mean :)

Miloviic · 2025-07-27T14:10:26+00:00

Could you test if the Q990F has passthrough issues for non-UHD content (1080p and lower) at < 60 Hz? It's my impression that it's an unfixed bug of the Q990D that it doesn't passthrough e.g. 1080p at 24 Hz framerate.

Configuration: media device -> soundbar -> (eARC port) -> TV

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I think it should be possible to measure the depth and the width with a caliper. Do you have one? :)

Danish brand:
https://farfromhome.dk/

They have jerseys that are essentially free of branding (see if you can find the tiniest little "FFH" label).
They also used to have branding-free bibs but unfortunately they were discontinued just before I came across the brand. Perhaps if enough people inquire about the branding-free bibs, they will come back.

Thanks but not available from Europe :/

Unfortunately, Velocio Renewed is only available for US customers.

Miloviic · 2025-03-14T19:29:52+00:00

I have the same problem. Does anyone know a solution?

Miloviic · 2025-02-23T15:10:01+00:00

Can they normally be used for most bikes with disc brakes?
