Soundbars will always represent a horrible tradeoff, namely you can only get so much from a small footprint. Horrible pricetag to boot. For that money you can get something that ACTUALLY sounds good a d goes much deeper than these gimmicky small soundbars and "sub"woofers.

For $1400, but there is no *clear* announcement support for Dolby **TrueHD LOSSLESS** Atmos support (WTF is True Dolby Atmos, Shamsung, a new Dolby format that's unannounced) no mention of any DTS:X virtual (phantom)/LOSSLESS support, no mention of Hi-Res support, no Google's Assistant but instead Bixby? WTF?!?!

This cannot be a real product, right, especially at this ridiculous price... right... RIGHT?!
