Want better speakers: Laptop HDMI to TV

I use the HDMI to display the streaming movie into the TV. But the TV has crappy built-in speakers, so I want externals. I don't think I can use 5.1 speakers, b/c neither the TV nor the laptop has the 5.1 jacks, like a desktop soundcard would have. So, I was going to get a straight 1/8" jack speaker set. I figured this would do. Am I on the right track?
 
$20 computer speakers aren't going to sound much better if any than TV speakers. Unless you get some insane deal at a garage sale I don't think you are going to get an upgrade at that price.
 
These are more like $50 computer speakers. I think they are better than the tinfoil in TVs, unless they have gotten better?
 
No, but it seemed like a perfectly capable set of new speakers for $20.
Can you post some links to non-5.1 speakers that just use the 1/8" stereo jack?
I will go to $100, but I have a feeling that's overdoing it.
