Looks like a slight downgrade from D?

In real world usage they are going to be about the same. When the differences are so small you need to zoom in on an oscilloscope graph you aren't going to be able to notice it with your ears.

The only real change this year is the subwoofer.

My position is the same as theirs if you read the verdict. They essentially say get whatever one is cheaper. Also this is a product that really doesn't need a yearly revision. They could put out a new one every 2-3 years and that would be fine.

I used to try so many cheaper soundbar setups, mostly Vizio.

Eventually I bit the bullet and picked up a HWQ950, then a Q990B, then the Q990C, now a Q990D and I just bought the Q990F via the woot sale above.

The HWQ950 had great sound but really shoddy wireless connection with many dropouts (the vizio at the time was also prone to dropping out and the sound was far inferior. Had a manual tuning process.

The Q990B sounded as great, but was prone to dropouts. More stable than the Q950 but I noticed a spotty connection. The wifi would often disconnect as well. Also had to be put into tuning manually.

I've had zero issues with the Q990C and Q990D.

I have has a 65in S95C and now a 65in S90D; it's not a killer feature but I appreciate Q-Symphony and definitely notice when it's not running. Pror to these TVs I was running an Optoma GT1090 projector

I will not fight anyone who believes that these soundbars are expensive; they are. You can absolutely do "better" with a dedicated receiver and multiple satellite speakers. The value for me, here, is getting what I feel is great sound with minimal footprint and relatively no setup.

Happy to answer any questions I can.

Is this the latest version of this model? Hopefully they ironed out and fixed all the issues from previous versions.

I have 990c no issues, these are really good systems, I put mine to the test with music all the time, with that said, no need to pay over 1k for any of the 990 versions, many have been had in the 600s

The only feature you'll miss out on is the Samsung Q symphony that goes with Samsung TVs. If you don't know what that is then don't worry about it because it's not a deal breaker to consider this over LGs top-of-the-line home theater sound bar (S95TR) that competes with it.

Personally, I'm going with this to pair with the LG G4 over LGs S95TR.

I have heard some users having connections with this subwoofer. I have the C and love mine, to me this is the best home theater you can buy under $1000 and would still take a shot on it if you are in the market. Just use it a lot during the return window to ensure it is not having issues
It was a big complaint with the C version too with regards to the rears. I remember reading about it here two or three years ago.

At this point I would honestly like to speak to someone who buys one of these for full price

I feel the same way about people paying this much for a soundbar!
I get the improve tv speakers/sound, convenience, aesthetics, ease of use/setup and all.
$1k for that seems pretty high when you can get 95+% of it for much less imo!

What systems are you getting for much less that has the features this does? I have the C variant and I'll tell you for the vast majority of home users this setup rocks. No running wires, etc and it sounds really good. It's a very good value for the 800-1000 dollar range it's almost always on sale for.

I have the Q990C paired with my LG G2 OLED television. I love the setup, I got it for about $700-$800 and it's a great alternative to buying a full system.

Of course- going with a full true speaker setup will always be king, but this is an excellent alternative for those of you who don't want the hassle, have the space, want to spend the money, etc. It's very high-end and premium sounding; nothing like your average Wal-Mart soundbar.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

If you're happy with the overall performance of the Q990C then there's no reason to upgrade. You will get a relatively similar experience with anything made after. From C-D there was incremental change. The biggest changes on the F are dual 8in woofers as opposed to a single 15inch woofer IIRC and Hdmi 2.1 which was an addition with the Q990D.

So switch really only if you need HDMI 2.1.
