Amazing Deal Samsung HW-Q990D Dolby Atmos Soundbar.
Best Soundbars under $500 Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

There’s no denying the immersive surround sound experience that a full-fledged Dolby Atmos speaker setup provides. Unfortunately, splurging on a complete Atmos configuration often entails spending thousands on the hardware you’ll need to run the show and the labor required to install it. That’s why soundbars like the Samsung HW-Q990D are such an appealing alternative.

Right now, the Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Dolby Atmos is discounted to $1,500. That may not sound like a steal, but consider the fact that the full retail price is $2,000.

Why you should buy the Samsung HW-Q990D Soundbar

Thanks to cutting-edge Samsung features like Space Fit Sound Pro, the all-hands-on-deck Samsung Q990D delivers pulse-pounding home theater sound. Your favorite movies, live concerts, and video games receive generous up-mixing from this Samsung system, ensuring your room is filled with as much sound as possible. 

The very design of this soundbar capitalizes on its Atmos capabilities: There are both side-firing and up-firing speakers built into the bar itself, and the system also comes with wireless rear speakers for surround effects, plus a dedicated wireless subwoofer for added low-end. 

The Q990D uses HDMI to send most audio and video signals between your TV and the soundbar, but you can also use digital optical, though this signal path only supports up to true 5.1 surround, in most cases. The Q990D even has two HDMI 2.1 ports with low latency, which makes this a good system for wiring up a PS5 or Xbox Series X

Save $500 on the Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Dolby Atmos when you purchase today. If you’re looking for additional Samsung AV suggestions, you should also take a look at our best soundbar deals, best Samsung deals, and best Samsung TV deals lists.

Spotify’s new conversational AI can play tracks you request and answer your music questions
A ChatGPT-like AI feature is coming to Spotify for music requests and listening-history questions

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Your dead TV may be far less broken than it looks
A technician claims a minor backlight fault can trigger a complete shutdown, leaving owners with little indication that the television could still be repaired
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

A black screen usually feels like a verdict. At that point, replacing the television can seem more sensible than paying someone to investigate what went wrong.

However, a demonstration suggests that the underlying problem in some sets could be surprisingly small. UK repair technician Allen Fleckney, who runs the YouTube channel TV Repair Community, claims one faulty light in an LCD backlight can leave the entire screen unusable.
