Our Verdict
LG S95TR
Samsung HW-Q910D
The Samsung HW-910D and the LG S95TR are similar soundbars with little to separate them. Both feature a wireless subwoofer and satellites, though the Samsung requires you to wire the satellites to a receiver. They have similarly balanced default frequency responses, with plenty of scope for adjustment, though the Samsung comes out on top when it comes to its surrounds and center channel performance. The LG features three more up-firing drivers than the Samsung, but both offer a comparable Atmos (height) performance that falls short of the most premium bars. Both bars support 4k passthrough via their HDMI In ports, but the Samsung offers compatibility with HDR10+ and FreeSync passthrough. All in all, both soundbars offer compelling features, but the Samsung offers slightly more bang for your buck, unless you value a fully wireless design.
