If your TV’s audio sounds like it’s coming from inside a tin can buried under your floorboards, you’re not alone. Most built-in TV speakers are fine. But “fine” doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to hear whispered dialogue over booming music and car crashes. Enter the TCL Alto 8 Plus, now on sale for just $99 at Walmart. That’s less than what some people pay for HDMI cables, which is its own problem.

This soundbar actually brings some substance. It supports Dolby Atmos, which means sound doesn’t just hit you from the front, but also floats around you with a bit more spatial flair. There’s a wireless subwoofer included too, so you get that satisfying rumble during explosions or when someone dramatically slams a door. And no, you don’t need a surround sound PhD to set it up.
