The price drops to $699.99 when bundled with a TV. I have the frame in cart (899.99) plus this sound bar with a free bezel... I may get drunk later and pull the trigger

Insanely good price for best in class product. I ordered one with in store pickup. One tip based on past experience with Samsung in store pickup...find a store where you can pick it up today and once you receive a confirmation go on the same day. Do not let the order sit overnight. Samsung randomly has cancelled multiple in store pickup orders for me when I did not pick up on the same day I received the confirmation (I've received emails ON NOV 1 saying 'since you did not pick up by Nov 3 we have cancelled')

I have this soundbar. Using it for around 3 months for a few hours every day with a QN90A 85" TV in the living room.

For reference, I have compared this soundbar to Sonos, Bose, JBL, and LG. All flagship models with Dolby Atmos. In terms of overall sound quality, the Bose sounded best to me and LG the worst. In music, Bose and Sonos are unparalleled. Samsung is the worst. In movies and TV shows, especially with Atmos content, Samsung was noticeably better. The surround effects are also crazy, very close to the dedicated HT system. Since I was going to use this for movies and TV shows, it was a no-brainer to go for Samsung over others. Samsung was also the cheapest, given that it already came with a sub and surround speakers.

Overall, I am fairly happy with the soundbar. The Q-symphony feature with Samsung TV actually makes a difference. It adds to the soundstage and overall immersion, and would highly recommend trying it out if you have a Samsung TV. Although, I have read mixed responses about it since it depends a lot on your TV speakers. At least QN90A and QN90B in larger sizes (65+) seem to have better than average speakers, so that helps. According to AVForums, it works best with Samsung 8k flagships.

One major issue with this soundbar, though. Sending in uncompressed audio (passthrough) can, at times, cause glitches like audio skips. On my unit, at least every once in a while, the chipset heats up and is no longer able to play lossless audio. HDMI passthrough also stops outputting 10-bit video. The fix is to turn the soundbar off for a few minutes allowing it to cool down. The issue has not been a huge PITA for me to try a warranty replacement which btw sucks. They ask you to ship the whole soundbar with no option for in-home repair or pickup. The soundbar is huge, so makes it difficult to ship.

The reviews on Samsung website worries me, so many disconnect issues…
I bought a 5.1.2 750 series and the wireless surrounds were a nightmare.

I canceled my sound bar only order and just got this with the 75 Q70. 5% back from a site, $75 back through discover via amazon pay. Maybe not the hottest price on a top-tier tv, but overall a good deal for an average game room I'd think.

Wish the 930 was on sale instead. Don't know if I would spend $900 on a HT. Does anyone know how much 930 would cost if on sale?
Same, I hope it goes down to $799(I doubt though). Its on sale for $999 at BestBuy currently with $100 BestBuy gift card.

I have a ~8-year old VIZIO 5.1 sound bar + wireless sub + rear speakers I got for $90 and got the Samsung HW 910B for about $700 a coupon of months back for another room.

To be honest, the sound difference is really minimal. Will HW-Q990B much better than HW-901B? I am still in the 100days windows so I could return and upgrade if it is worth it.
Have you tried Atmos/dtx sounds?

I just bought this for 1399, and has not been delivered yet. Does anybody know if customer service will give me price difference or if I can refuse delivery?

Edit: just got off the Chat with customer representative.. He was not able to price adjust my order.. He advised me to refuse delivery. I just ordered a new one with the correct price. Thank you OP.
I spoke to them last time. They will give refund for the discounted price if you received the product within 15 days.
