Samsung vs LG TV : Is Samsung Q-Symphony feature really worth?

    I am in the market for a 65" OLED / QLED / QNED TV. I have a Samsung Q990F soundbar. There are some really good offers for LG QNED TVs running at the moment. But I am confused whether to get a higher priced samsung TV just for the Q-Symphony feature.

    Any advice on this? If the Q-Symphony feature is more of a hype that a good working feature I will pay less and go for an LG TV.

    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

    You own a compatible Samsung sound system?
    So you might find it so.
    Personally, for the extra couple of seconds setting up any required delay needs?
    And because my own surround setup is wired via HDMI arc, it's not a feature I need and certainly not one I'd pay extra for.
    For me, buying a TV is all about the display and what it can do.
    Additional gimmicks like q-symphony shouldn't really be a factor in the choice.
    Clarity, Uniformity of blacks if going LED/QLED, image, HDR modes, picture processing options and ISF adjustment would all be far more important than a manufacturer specific sound gimmick.

    I currently use a 12 year old LG UHD TV and quiet happy with LG reliability. No issues yet.

    No good offers from Samsung at the moment. So I may have to go for an LG TV.

    I have 2 Samsung TVs with Samsung soundbars, both supporting Q-Symphony, and I can't notice any difference if I turn Q-Symphony off (although I've nevr tried comparing watching any Dolby Atmos content, but not sure if it makes any difference to Atmos content anyway)
