There is a new document uploaded by Samsung, with a date of February 12th. It's an HDMI configuration guide, you can get it here

It's completely useless, as usual. I don't have a second HDMI 2.1 cable to try the connection between my HDMI 2.1 GPU and the bar, but a lot of people report VRR as working. I might try with my old HDMI cable which was at least reporting the capability.
I wonder why they decided to post this now.
I think so, but I don't have it.Is Black Ops an Atmos game ?
That is true, but their manuals have known to be crap for a long time now. They also don't mention VRR, although it seems to support it. The German product page still shows it as an HDMI 2.1 product.Is this under the Q950T model ?
From the chart, looks like it doesnt support 4k 120hz also no mention HDMI 2.1 or 40Gbps
yes it's on the list.... also Super Lucky's Tail! lolI think so, but I don't have it.
I did buy 3 of this Hdmi cable from Amazon.de Amazon product ASIN B082VRN8WJI think so, but I don't have it.
That is true, but their manuals have known to be crap for a long time now. They also don't mention VRR, although it seems to support it. The German product page still shows it as an HDMI 2.1 product.
The issue is that we would need 2x HDMI 2.1 cables to check what's really up. One from the Soundbar to the TV, and one from the HDMI 2.1 equipment (an HDMI 2.1 GPU would be the best for this) to the Soundbar.
That way I could run CRU and get the exact capability listing that the soundbar provides when being in a 100% HDMI 2.1 chain. At this moment I'm missing two HDMI 2.1 cables to do that, and I wouldn't mess up my setup for just checking this.
On the other hand, my GPU was still showing its HDMI 2.1 capability with an HDMI 2.0b cable, with the caveat of some random, infrequent blackouts. I might test it this way and see, the capability bits should still go through.
If you connect the PS5 to the bar, do you get 120Hz?I did buy 3 of this Hdmi cable from Amazon.de Amazon product ASIN B082VRN8WJ
I am using 2 of this hdmi cable on the HW-Q950T and 1 on the Ps5. Can i test anything on the Ps5?
I have them this way:
Dune Mediaplayer -> HW-Q950T (due to no DTS support on the CX)
Ps5 -> CX
1 hdmi cable from HW-Q950T to eARC port of the CX Tv
I think so, but I don't have it.

@AhYungIX And your NU8000 TV has official support for FreeSync VRR as well and there is a menu item where you can turn it on? If not, that may be why you're getting the black screen. I thought it was the 2019 and later Samsung TVs that had Freesync VRR..
You mean with One X, u will be facing the black screen flicker issue on VRR ?I had that problem with my One X, Q90R TV and Q950T soundbar... no matter what cables I used. Moving to the Series X and with the same cables, TV and soundbar it works just fine! Very odd... obviously I can't speak to the compatibility of your NU8000 vs my Q90R, but still.. odd..
I gonna test again tonight and see which problem, probably will need to reboot every devices to get another hand shake seeYes, I had the issue with the One X and not my Series X
i just made a video of my soundbar while im doing the tone test... does it sound right, that the speakers sound differently as shown as in the video? Or is my bar broken? Especially the center Mid Speakers sound different. You can hear it at the end (Center).
I'm hoping someone can help me out here because my sub sounds way too loud, even on the lowest settings. It sounds exaggerated on the lower frequencies. It rumbles far too much. Is this a defect?Something can't be right if you're having to adjust settings that much to get bass. My sub setting is -6 and it still gives a large rumble/boom when needed. You probably already know this but it's worth mentioning that a well integrated sub shouldn't be noticeable as it's meant to underpin the rest of the sound and come to life during scenes that are meant to use those lower frequencies. I guess it depends what you are expecting, to my ears the Q950 is a really well balanced system and a joy to listen to.

Not that close but I’ll try moving the sub.How close is your sub to a radio frequency, i.e. a WiFi access point?
I had the same issue. I moved the sub 5 feet away, and... no rumble.
Good luck!
Best,
Stephen
I’m not sure that ‘rumble’ is the right word to use.Not that close but I’ll try moving the sub.
Thanks!
Hey there...@jms_uk
Using Google assistant I have no issues using "set soundbar to hdmi1/hdmi2" but I still feel lazy asking assistant to do it, so I just use shortcuts on my phone with http get requests now to switch inputs. E.g.
Code:http://soundbar:56001/UIC?cmd=%3Cname%3ESetFunc%3C/name%3E%3Cp%20type=%22str%22%20name=%22function%22%20val=%22hdmi1%22/%3E%2050
It's the same for Alexa, no more volume control or input switching. They "upgraded" Smart Things.Hey there...
Digging this one up again, for some reason Google Assistant has recently started seeing my Q950T as a "plug" so only on/off commands work and input switching is broken!
I've tried deleting and re enabling Smartthings - Google linking in both the Google Home and SmartThings apps and still the same result.. any ideas?
