tldr; 2024 refresh of the Q930C. Slightly improved processing. Great 9.1.4 system if you find it on sale below Q990 prices.

Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung HW-Q930D
“I’m gonna share how I handled it with my Q930D. I’m blessed with an apartment isolated with concrete between units. I warned both my neighbours downstairs and to the side about me getting a new home theater, waited for a friday evening when they weren’t busy and everything was quiet. Then I calibrated the whole thing and played a few tests scenes, some PS5’s Returnal and some electronic music (repetitive bass). I went over and asked if they heard anything, turned it down a notch until they said they could not (75db) and called it a day. Now I know at what volume I can safely use it even if it’s 2 AM. I did ask again just to be sure because I do watch movies and play games late at night.”
“Yes it does, my 930D was bricked by it. But I think you should be safe as I believe they've pulled the bad update from release now.”
