There are a lot of great surround systems out there, and while it isn’t often you can catch a significant discount on one from a brand like Samsung, today you can save $500 on the Samsung HW-Q990B 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Wireless Rear Speakers and Subwoofer Bundle. This setup would regularly cost $1,900, but this deal brings the price down to $1,400. Samsung is including free shipping and easy returns with a purchase, and easy financing is available as well.

Why you should get the Samsung HW-Q990B 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Wireless Rear Speakers and Subwoofer Bundle

Samsung has long been one of the most well-known names in consumer electronics, and its Q-Series surround sound systems keep it at the top of a lot of people’s list when shopping for home theater equipment. This 11.1.4-channel setup is one of its more premium offerings. This channel designation comes from its 11 front-facing speakers, one subwoofer, and four up-firing channels.

This creates a true Dolby Atmos experience and floods the room with audio from all angles. Spearheading the charge is the Samsung HW-Q990B soundbar, which houses the 11 front-facing speakers and whose predecessor, the HW-Q990B, still ranks among the best soundbars. Premium, high-quality home theater audio is a given with this surround sound system.

This wouldn’t be a modern surround system, however, without some smarts. This Samsung 11.1.4-channel setup includes built-in voice assistants. These will allow you to play your favorite songs or tune into your favorite shows, all with an easy voice command. And with Apple AirPlay 2 included, you can even connect a compatible iOS device wirelessly for access to your music, podcasts, and other digital content.

Other smart features include SpaceFit Sound Pro, which analyzes the room the soundbar is in and optimizes audio to suit. Game Mode Pro functions similarly when gaming, creating the perfect audio playback for gaming adventures. With modern technology allowing the space for there to be so many great surround sound systems on the market, it can be helpful to check out our ultimate surround sound guide.

While the Samsung HW-Q990B 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Wireless Rear Speakers and Subwoofer Bundle would regularly set you back $1,900, today you can grab it for just $1,400 when buying directly from Samsung. This is a $500 savings, and Samsung is also including free shipping with your purchase.

Samsung’s smart portable projector is $200 off today
Samsung The Freestyle portable projector.

Portable projectors are great little devices if you want a large screen experience without having to lug around a traditional projector, which also tends to be heavy and hard to power. For example, the Samsung Freestyle is smaller than a coffee can and produces a reasonably good image. While it's true that the Freestyle has had issues with its value, the discount from Best Buy bringing it down to $600 mitigates that to some extent.

Why you should buy the Samsung Freestyle Smart Portable Projector
We want to get the Samsung Freestyle's biggest issue out of the way first: it only produces an FHD picture, which may be a dealbreaker for some. Truthfully though, it's still an impressive resolution for such a small project, and the image quality is probably one of the best in the industry. It can manage around 500 nits of peak brightness, which is a bit on the lower end for projectors yet is still good for something this small. Unfortunately, the lower peak brightness means that it can't really handle the HDR that it supports, which, again, isn't a dealbreaker given that it's targeted towards portable FHD rather than 4k HDR.
