Help Picking a Soundbar - Blu-ray Forum

Hey everyone,

If there is a better section to put this in let me know. I'm VERY new to caring about sound. Until recently I never really cared about anything other than picture quality (and even that is a newer care). The only time I've ever used anything other than the tv speaker was when I was like 8 and my parents had a soundbar (that I don't think they hooked up properly).

Anyway, right now I am using a TCL 55inch that is 2.5-3 years old, not the best tv but it works. My plan (goal) is to get a 65in OLED in 2021 so at the moment I'm not looking to sink a huge amount of money into a sound system until I get a better apartment or a home and have that TV. I've been looking up some soundbars and have narrowed it down to 3. I was hoping to get some help deciding on one that would be quality without spending a ton of money.

The first two look to get pretty good reviews and are super cheap:

The last one is a little more expensive, but claims to have Dolby Atmos:

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, or if you have a better suggestion that would be cool too. I'm not really wanting to go over $200 since, like I said, I'm saving up for an OLED, but if it's not way more and is outstanding I can be talked into more.
