Need some help picking out a new sound bar. I've got access to both the Samsung discount and LG's partner store discount so I can get either of these two bars at a great price currently. 990C for 741 shipped or the S90TR for 623 shipped. I've got an LG G3 this will be paired with so I'm kind of leaning LG bar for ease of use but I'm certain the 990C is the better bar. Any advice?

May I know where you get S90TR for $623 shipped? I have LG TV and thinking that may be better.

Does anyone know how this sounds with the upfiring speakers in a room with 18ft ceilings?

I've bought mine (around $850) right before 990d was released so definitely recommend getting it at this price. I haven't had any disconnection problems. Subwoofer location/position matters a lot (for those who say it's weak), but then I don't like overpowering subs anyway. The only "weakness" is playing music thru it, since I keep it on adaptive mode (seems better for movies) and turn on music it doesn't sound as "full" like you hear it on a regular stereo system, so to make it sound more decent you have to change the mode and settings for that, I wish it was done automatically if music was detected from airplay or built in Spotify support. But it's good enough for a background listening.
Few days ago I was watching Dune 2 and the sound disappeared 2 times at what it seemed like loud scenes, I had to restart it, not sure if it was the movie causing it or just some glitch, never happened before and after that.

On the side note, those who have had it for a while, did you update the firmware manually to the latest one or just did it thru the app and kept that older version? (App update version is not the latest). I've read mixed observations about those versions, some say it helped with the sound, some say there's no difference.

I own the Q990D, and while it's amazing, it's main feature is 120 Hz. The sound quality is basically identical.

I haven't purchased a soundbar in years, but to find out there's an up charge for 120hz passthrough today is criminal.

You don't need to use the sound bar as the pass though… you can use the Tv as the main and just eArc to the sound bar for audio out- this will not impact 120hz from other sources.
990c is fantastic and have owned for a few months back with the last major deal

Great deal. Considering that I have been living with a 50$ Vizio sound bar and that they have a 60day trial period, I pulled the trigger.

Can anyone already owning the 990c provide recommendations on the rear speaker stands?

I bought these for my rear speakers & they work great. I recommend that you buy longer power cables for the rears to make things easier.

This or the q990d?

Not much difference. Hdmi 2.1 (4k@120hz pass through) and private listening. Not worth ~$1300 EPP, or ~$600 more imo.

Also got the $50 off when going through the app. At first I got an error message on the website stating I couldn't apply the coupon because it was under the threshold. You can go around that if you go all the way to the checkout screen in the app and then switch to a browser to get cashback.
