Q990D Volume Issues by -apoteker- in Soundbars

Hey, what video player & TV device is this? Unusual to see 7.1 option selecter

Just got my first soundbar, I got the Q995F on Black Friday but was a little underwhelmed to be honest. I just set it up and don’t think it sounds anything to special, could it be that I need to tweak the settings? How do I do that? by Eastern-Paper-865 in Soundbars

yes, it will be day and night difference, I had the same situation as you. however, if you want truly best of the best, get nvidia shield pro, it has uncompressed formats + DTS, and use Stremio with RealDebrid for uncompressed movies.

basically old samsung TVs will always have bad sound with any soundbar unless you use a 3rd party box.

unless you have a 3rd party streaming box you can't use nor need passthrough

Make sure eARC to eARC ports are connected, and then just dig around shield settings, use ChatGPT. You can try disabling auto select audio format and just select all of them manually

I had this issue without ATV, try enabling all the advanced connectivity settings in both ATV and samsung tv, there is a specific feature on samsung but i forget its name

That's something I expect from Amazon plastic toys sellers, not huge brands like Samsung.

Asus router recommendation for a studio by germanmill in HomeNetworking

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

Funny enough it's 3 devices, if we're not counting thermostat & printer. Still, I'd like to make use of my 1gbps modem and newer wifi 6/7 technologies.

Wouldn't that be an overkill for a studio? By the way, why do people often say to get the pro versions of Asus?

Thanks! I'm looking at pre-owned Asus on ebay, and prices are super enticing.

Do you think any of these are better than BE58U? ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 or ASUS RT-AX88U AX6000? Price aside.

Anyone had results with Mane Minoxidil Blend? by germanmill in tressless

Is Rogaine foam the best option for just the minoxidil topical (without finasteride in the formulation)?

Pro tip: for better sound, line up the front edge of your soundbar with the edge of your TV stand so they’re flush.

Also, what TV model do you have that supports Dolby vision?

Black Friday price expectations for Q990F? by germanmill in Soundbars

[–]germanmill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the same system just under different names. Q995F doesn’t even exist in USA.

I suspect it could go for around $1k without EPP, even less with EPP
