Samsung HW-Q600F Soundbar vs LG S90TY 5.1.3 Soundbar

The LG S90TY is the stronger pick for most people. It has a true 5.1.3 layout with rear-capable surround, DTS:X, Wi-Fi, eARC and AI room calibration, while the Samsung HW-Q600F is a simpler 3.1.2 bar. The Samsung wins on dialogue clarity from its dedicated center channel and on tight Q-Symphony integration with Samsung TVs, and its 4.7 rating from 384 owners edges the LG's 4.2 from 256. If you own a Samsung QLED, the Q600F is the smoother match; otherwise the LG gives more speakers and more formats for the same job.

  • Choose the Samsung HW-Q600F if you own a recent Samsung QLED TV and want Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro and a dedicated center channel for clear dialogue.
  • Choose the LG S90TY if you want a fuller 5.1.3 layout with DTS:X, Wi-Fi streaming and room calibration, and you own an LG OLED or any other TV.

  • 4.7 / 5384 ratings

Questions and answers

Which is better for movies?
The LG S90TY. Its 5.1.3 layout and DTS:X support give more channels and wider format coverage than the Samsung's 3.1.2 setup. The Samsung still handles Dolby Atmos well and keeps dialogue clear.
Which has clearer dialogue?
Both are close. The Samsung uses a dedicated center channel plus Adaptive Sound. The LG uses an up-firing center channel plus AI room calibration. Owners rate the Samsung higher overall, which suggests fewer complaints about muddy voices.
Do I need a matching TV brand?
No, but you get more from each with its own brand. Q-Symphony and SpaceFit Sound Pro need a compatible Samsung QLED. WOW Orchestra and WOWCAST need an LG TV. With another brand, the LG keeps its room calibration and Wi-Fi; the Samsung loses its TV-linked features.
Which lasts longer?
Neither has a clear edge on build life. Both use a wireless subwoofer and a wall-mountable bar. The LG adds Wi-Fi and app control, which can extend usefulness as streaming changes; the Samsung's simpler design has fewer parts to fail.
Is the LG worth stepping up to?
Yes for most buyers. You get two more channels, DTS:X, Wi-Fi, eARC and calibration that works with any TV. Step down to the Samsung only if you have a Samsung QLED and value the tighter integration and higher owner rating.
Can either add rear speakers?
The LG S90TY is sold as a bar and subwoofer, and its 5.1.3 processing is built into the bar. The Samsung HW-Q600F is a 3.1.2 system with no rear speakers in the box. Neither listing shows optional rear add-ons.
