Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q910D

LG S95AR

The Samsung HW-Q910D and LG S95AR are comparable soundbars in their overall performance. While the LG has better height channel performance, likely due to its addition of two functional up-firing drivers on its satellites, the Samsung competes in most other respects. The cheaper Samsung has a graphic EQ and supports FreeSync passthrough, expanding your display options. Although the Samsung has a more user-friendly interface with a letter display, it's also more ergonomically restricted, as both satellites need to be wired to a wireless receiver, in contrast to the LG's wireless satellites.
