Best praise vs top criticism for LG S90QY
“Get a Soundbar with virtual Surround sound and hope for the best. If you move the setup often it will be easier. And Samsung Soundbars go on sale because they normally get sold over value meaning the sale price is the actual value of the Soundbar. I would get a LG DS90QY. Also I wouldn't buy a Samsung TV because of their shitty Quality Management, PSU, Motherboard and Panel Problems. Best choice for a TV is also an LG TV. You could low ball and get a TCL and get the worst software experience of your life, ah yes same goes for Samsung, tizen is just terrible. Fun fact most Samsung TV users will get a 20€ Android tv box or Apple TV because tizen is that unusable. Ambilight doesn't make sense in your living room.”
“I currently have the s90qy (s95qr) without the rears at home and the samsung q800c. I had the s90qy first, and as long as i didn't had the samsung to compare i thought its pretty good, but when you Listen to both you notice how bad the Center Channel of the s90/95 is. Voices Sound realy thin compared to the samsung, and it gets even worse if you raise the Center channel, which i needed because voices were hard to understand in most 5.1 movies. Also, the s90 sounds kinda flat in comparison. It has a much better soundstage and the Bass was more fitting for my small Apartment though. I wasnt completely happy with both, so i ordered the q930 to see if its a big Step up, otherwise i will Keep the q800c.”
