Also, if anybody has any idea , what is the pricing of 65" c7l and 65" c8l in local market?

My review will be more likely a heads-up for new buyers .

1. The bass. It is a solid package in a small size. Highly (very highly) dependent on position. Most of the time I don't notice it is there but I can still feel vibrations on my body. Depending on the scene it can blow my room of 200sq ft. ( It's not a lot).

If you are unsatisfied then bring all channels to -6 and woofer to +6.

2. Music. This is tough. I have tried many (many) different settings and combinations. The thing is after some tweaking 1 song will sound better but the next song isn't good. Even my echo 4th gen sounds better and is consistent. I can't listen to 990f for too much time. The sub really shines in music.

3. The soundstage. The soundstage is not as wider as I expected it to be. It broke my expectations. It has got all the physical things right(big bar). I think it can be improved via software updates (which will never happen) .

4. Dialogues. I'm happy with the dialogues 90% of the time. Turn on AVA and it is 110% good.

5. The sound bubble. This is REAL. . I can't watch any content if it is not on my q990. I'm very satisfied with the Atmos part. I made the right decision to buy it. The 11.1.4 upmixing is great most of the time.

6. I just wish there was an option to save custom presets. How can I let go of my fantasy that Samsung will send an OTA update and the soundbar becomes sounds suddenly sounds better?

Bonus-

1. The bar is literally plug n Play. It turns on and everything gets connected in 3 seconds.

2. I place sub in the corner , angled at 45⁰. I use adaptive most of the time and then use surround sometimes.

3. Settings are the king in the q990f. It literally makes a day and night difference based on what you set according to the content.

I know it is looking like a negative review but this package is still very solid. All the problems that I think are only concerned with the bar(which isn't bad by any means for what I have paid). I am really happy with the rear and woofer.

It fell down fast, it might be fomo , but I want your views

Also it would be really helpful if someone just tells the best and final settings for all the options. I don't want to fiddle around much but just enjoy the content. Also, are you all watching atmos content on otts?

I haven't heard the high res lossless personally. Can someone please tell the difference? Chatgpt says that it is not much but I don't believe it.
