Underwhelmed by Q990D coming from VIZIO Elevate SE?

Hey all - I purchased a Samsung Q990D to replace my VIZIO Elevate SE.

A/B testing the two using some movie clips (with TrueHD Atmos), I could barely tell the difference, and if anything, the height effects on the Q990D seemed less effective than the VIZIO.

I was pretty surprised by this and don't know if I got a defective unit, need to change the settings on my soundbar, or if the difference really isn't that large.

Does anyone else have experience with VIZIO Elevate soundbars and can speak on this? Thanks!
