Samsung's Q990 series soundbar bundle is a compact home theater setup that stands out for immersive surround sound, clear vocals, and strong wireless sub and rear speaker performance. The system can get very loud, handles Atmos and DTSX well, and the dual 8 inch sub is reported to fill even a 20 by 20 room better than expected. The main cautions are Samsung firmware and support headaches, including reports of bricked or unresponsive bars and Wi Fi disconnects. Some also find the bass and overall sound less satisfying than a separate AVR and speaker setup, especially at higher volumes.

It can work without internet access, and one owner keeps the Q990D permanently offline while still getting surround sound, Atmos, and DTS:X. That avoids firmware updates, which are a recurring concern in the thread.
Yes, the deal has been bought with 0% financing, and the financing term mentioned is 24 months through Samsung/Affirm when purchased direct. The same EPP discount is also available through AAA.
The bundled dual 8-inch sub can fill a 20x20 room and is described as compact but effective, though it is not as forceful as a full-size subwoofer setup. For best balance, lower the center and rear levels and let the sub run hot rather than maxing every channel.
The thread points to the Q990F, not the Q990D. The listing is for Samsung's 11.1.4ch Q-Series soundbar bundle at the stated EPP/EDU price.
It can work very well with Apple TV 4K and Samsung TVs over eARC, with multiple owners reporting no issues. One caveat is that another user had constant disconnects and poor Apple TV passthrough behavior, so setup and firmware may matter.

And if you'd actually read my original comment, you'd know I've owned the YAS-108 with a real, non-proprietary sub attached. So this isn't theory, it's a lived experience you're currently arguing against from the sidelines.
I've also gone through more proprietary-sub soundbars than I care to admit, and the pattern holds every time: the bundled sub is an afterthought, and the same money spent on a legit aftermarket sub eats it alive.
This is why the Yamaha soundbars with a standard, non-proprietary sub output are no longer made - it was a bang for the buck loophole too good to last.
But obv it will never beat a separate unit setup for the price as it shouldn't , with a proprietary setup you are also paying for convenience

The best vocals award, as determined by the harshest of critics (elderly people with hearing loss) actually went to this Philips soundbar ~$30 about 5 months ago:
Philips B5706 2.1-Channel Soundbar with Built-in Subwoofer, Stadium EQ Mode

Don't be tempted to max out all your speaker levels, to compensate for the lower end, I actually lower the center and the rears almost to a minimum and the rest of the channels by ear depending on your space. This allows you to set the sub to max volume and compensate everything with just higher master volume.
