1. Just bought Sony RT5 last night from Sunway HN for RM1999. RT5 sound great through phone bluetooth But until now failed to connect to my Samsung SmartTV (Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) ) through HDMI ARC.

2. The only connection I can think of is through optical audio cable. Burn more money.

3. Read some articlr in internet that Sony soundbar wont work with Samsung TV.

Anyone can help or experience this before?

Bro., Your RM1999 is 1 year warranty or 1+2 years warranty?

Cheers!

Tried to ask can get RM1999 or not, but asked to provide the screenshot/picture.

Cheers!

I got Q990D paired with my 65" Hisense U7G. First time to get in sound bar area, but I am deeply get impressed and blown away by this sound bar performance! Cinematic surround sound, good solid bass punch and the clarity sound. I am very enjoying to watch those 4K Dolby atmos movies from Netflix through this sound bar Q990D!

If you can spend a little bit time on browsing shopee and lazada web sites from the beginning of the promotion period, 12:00am to 12:30am time, you may surprise how deep the promotion discount can go down to...

Still using my Sammy Q950T since 2020 till now.

Now seeing the Q990D has finally equipped with HDMI loop through system which brings 4K/120Hz (i see review also mentioning VRR support), tempted to grab.

Any user with Q990D here ? lol ..

Wait for tonight midnight from 12:00am to 12:30am on Shopee or lazada for 0606 promotion sales. The promotion discount may surprises you...

How much do you get your Q990D for? I am looking to get one but not sure about the normal pricing especially with promo.

Also, if not planning to game on the TV, getting 990C is a better choice right? Since I see some reviews also saying not much difference in audio quality.

Sorry for the late reply. I got this one for RM3200 (after promotion rebate and coins) and another T&Go ewallet rebate RM300. So total I paid was RM29xx , and 2 years (normal is 1 year)warranty from Samsung Malaysia. The normal price is range above RM4K from Shopee and Lazada sellers.

If you are not playing TV games such as Xbox, PS5..etc...then I think taking 990C is also a good choice. But if you are lucky as me during Shopee or Lazada promotion period, you may get the new one at the price of old one.

Wow, 990D can be bought for below 3.5k, then I should really wait first before getting one for almost 4k

I was so lucky at that time to grab it.... tongue.gif

My advice, wait for the beginning of the first 1 hour when promotion just started, like 12:00am to 1:00am..Shopee and Lazada

Don't forget to go to Samsung Malaysia to get your free redemption (Get an exclusive gift Galaxy Fit3 worth RM299 via redemption portal.) after you have received your order and registered the warranty in Samsung Malaysia.

For Samsung Soundbar HW-Q990D users, please DO NOT update the firmware to the latest version 1020 through auto update from Samsung "SmartThings" app!

If you have updated to version 1020, your soundbar will most probably bricked, and behave no sound, cannot press buttons on the top to reset to factory default, always display "TV eARC”, "BYE" displays will take longer time to get off..

Hi all sifu... I'm new in soundbar and plan one with price max RM2.2K, want to have better sound (Cinematic surround if possible) with LG TV 55LB6500 (yes it's OLD with 1st gen WebOS).
We use it mainly for general TV show and Movie only. My choices:
- Sony HT-A3000
- Bose Smart Soundbar 600 (
- Yamaha SR-B40A

**Or any recommendation based on my requirement?

Much appreciated... thanks~  notworthy.gif

If you can wait abit longer, you can try to get samsung HW-Q990D, as the new model Q990F is out but not in Malaysia market yet. The HW-Q990D price may drops below RM3K when in Lazada or shopee promotion.
