A: Samsung will never answer this question. It’s been asked and skipped over. Every other question has been sort of answered but at this point, one may consider it dead. No LPCM support means downscaling to PCM which is laughed at. Not only that though, ps5 uses LPCM. The issue is so basic yet Samsung refuses to answer.
A: Found out that these Dolby Atmos up-firing speakers work the best with flat ceilings and not high-vaulted ceilings. Since D.A is an object-based 3D sound effect and not a codec like Dolby True HD or DTS-X.. Best placement is at ear level on floor standing speaker stands. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
A: Total power is 546W according to Samsung's Spec page.
A: Hi there! The HW-Q950T Soundbar supports eARC; however, connecting a new gaming system through the soundbar will lose the gaming features as it is not directly connected. You would want to connect it directly to the TV and use eARC to get the best quality audio and the best input lag/other gaming features. ^Gina
Q: WHAT TYPE OF STAND IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE REAR SPEAKER? I CAN'T FIND ANY ON AMAZON.
A: Hi Fianiyk! Most universal speaker stands should work with the HW-Q950T rear speakers. Check out this option, or visit your local Best Buy for more options: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sanus-28-to-42-adjustable-speaker-stands-pair-black/4966754.p?skuId=4966754 ^Gina
A: The Q850T comes with swa-9000s rear speakers, the rear speakers with the Q950T are not compatible with the Q850T, and sadly no they can't be purchased separately cause I myself have searched everywhere for them to use with my Q900T soundbar!!
A: I thought I would add to this thread. I just purchased this Soundbar took it home updated it and connected my Xbox series X. My tv has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports 120hz modes one of them is the ARC port. My Xbox series X is running 4k w HDR in 120hz mode with HDR with this Soundbar.. Yes it works in port 1 via passthrough. I just connected my ps5 to port 2 and I'm getting 60fps at 4k I just ordered a new HDMI 2.1 cable and will test if the ps5 picked up the 120hrz mode in port 2. Yes no delay when gaming using DTS output on both ports of the Soundbar I am fine with this vs Dolby just me. I do prefer the sound quality of the q90 over the 950t because the sound is a little bit flatter maybe due to more channels and speakers so the sound is more spread out. I was able to restore some punch I was use to with the q90 using some minor EQ changes. I am fine with this setup. Especially watching bad boys 3 or John wick I can hear those cool side speakers fully engaged sound bounced off the walls like crazy really adds another dimension when your watching ATMOS movies. Note, not all ATMOS movie/show audio is created equal some movies we watched didn't have good ATMOS smh. Eventually I will move to a AV receiver not now though the apartment is to small. I am curious what the 2021 model will bring maybe 1 or 2 more HDMI ports would be nice all supporting 4k 120hz. That's a dream. Yes Apple TV also working with ATMOS on this Soundbar via tv pass thru. Cheers
Q: Can you wall mount the rear speakers?
A: Hi daledude! Yes, the rear speakers feature a universal mounting hole on the back for compatibility with a wide range of stand or mounting solutions. ^Tim
