Buying call

The Q990D sticks with the proven formula: an 11.1.4-channel bar, wireless sub and two up-firing rear speakers. Samsung improved the room calibration and added extra gaming and dialogue features. Every reviewer we tracked gave it top marks, calling it the most convincing Atmos system you can buy in one box.
