Samsung HW-Q800D
LG S90TY
The LG S90TY and the Samsung HW-Q800D are very similar bars with some slight differences, though the Samsung will be a better choice for most people. They're both bar/sub combos, eschewing dedicated rear speakers in favor of side-firing drivers. That said, the Samsung handles surround and Atmos content far better than the LG, creating a sound field with more width and height. It's also better-built. However, the LG creates a wider sound when playing back stereo content, with good focus across the entire length of the bar. Both bars feature ways of integrating TVs and speakers from their respective product eco-systems (WOW Orchestra for LG and Q-Symphony for Samsung), which can sway your decision if you already own products from either manufacturer.
