Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation

My other half wants a straightforward system to use and doesn't want a ton of electronics and speakers scattered about the room. We are buying a new TV and have decided on the 65" LG G1 OLED. I need a sound bar that will give me acceptable audio, be relatively easy to use, and not cost multi kilobucks. Probably go up to $1K for it. Be happier if I was at $500 to $700, but what is another $300 right? Preferably Atmos. 

Anyone have good recommendations? The easy to use is going to be a high selling point to my better half.

Recently added an 85” television. Researching soundbars, the finalists were:

Sonos ARC SL

Samsung HW-Q950A

Sony HT-A9

Sony HT-A7000

Sennheiser Ambeo

 

Settled on the Sonos ARC for ease of use and simple integration into our Sonos ecosystem. Costco sells the SL version (no microphone) for $850 plus tax, and free shipping. Was concerned that the sound would not be big enough for the screen size, but it’s more than adequate. If I’d thrown out compatibility with the rest of our Sonos products, I would have definitely tried the Ambeo. This was not for a home theater application.
