I have just replaced a Philips set (Fidelio FB+FS) with the Samsung Q990D. And the difference is night and day while the price was comparable. The user experience on the Philips set was horrendous and riddled with bugs. The audio quality was only so-so. They looked nice but that was about it. I have no idea how they ever got decent reviews because when they set was released it was even worse and support is always a dead end. Might have been one of my worst purchases ever.
