Audio & VideoHi everyone,
I need some clarification, as to be honest the Samsung support staff are hopeless with knowing anything about their own products.
I was on chat with support enquiring about the eARC firmware update for this soundbar, he replies to me saying it doesn't have eARC?!
the whole reason I purchased it was because of this update, I have the LG C9 which is eARC!
if they don't provide this firmware update to allow it, then this soundbar is going back for a refund.

Audio & VideoThere recently was an update to my QLED Q90R TV to FW 1356, however the Samsung website is not showing the latest firmware for download. It's wired, so I wonder if something like that could happen with the soundbar.

Audio & VideoBoth of you have really nice set ups. I also have a full Samsung set up, Tv and soundbar, not as nice as the one you guys have but seems like for us to get eARC will depend not just on an update on the soundbar but also on our TVs, if just the soundbar gets eARC it won't help at all unless for the tv-soundbar connection. I need my Samsung tv to get an update that supports eARC and pass thru so that all my devices connected the way I have them can take advantage of eARC.
Anyways here is a pic of my setup. Not as nice as yours but maybe I'll do some changes in the future

is samsung hw-q90r okay soundbar for lg c9?
does the atmos work? From aps(netflix, primevideo plex)? Xbox, through the arc connection? Thanks
For the Xbox unfortunately if you want Atmos to work well you will have to connect directly to the soundbar. Through ARC you will experience lip sync issues that can be corrected.
Except that everything work well with apps on the TV, you will get lossy Atmos as expected.

Audio & VideoHi all
I've been speaking to a manager at Samsung UK the last couple of days. Over HDR gaming issues that the 2019 Qleds suffer from. To cut a long story short, i also spoke to the manager about the eArc update. First time he said didn't know. He said he would go away and talk to senior engineers and get back to me. When he got back to me he didn't want to talk about the eArc update. And even though they aknowledge the HDR gaming issues they won't be fixing it. So you can basically take that as Samsung telling us to go f**k ourselves.
Needless to say just keep well away from Samsung in the future.

Audio & VideoWhat did you expect. Where are those reviewers that helped Samsung scam us. Why aren't they re reviewing this item and dwell on the lack of this important update.
30-01-2020 09:57 AM in
Audio & VideoIt would indeed be nice if reviewers, like Stephen Withers for example, refuse to review Samsung products untill Samsung fixes their previous flaws..

Audio & VideoWon't be buying Samsung again. Bear faced liers. Glad I only brought the Q70 in the end would have been even more pis*ed if I had shelled out for Q90. Had Samsung reps in John Lewis store saying same lies as they have to all the tech journalists that eARC support was coming soon to Q70R, Q80R etc...
