I'm going to buy a 4K TV and using it as a monitor. For audio, I have 3 choices:
1) Integrated TV speakers for Free
2) Logitech Z506 5.1 Surround Sound for $70
3) Yamaha YAS-203 Soundbar for $300
Keep in mind that all of them are new, not refurbished or used.
Please help me choose one.

I have a 40" 4k monitor that does include speakers.
I used them once when my speaker system had a problem
Really some sort of a discrete speaker system is very much better.
The Z506 is probably about the right quality to use.
If you do not have a place for rear surround speakers, then a 2.1 setup would be appropriate.
I measure the quality by the size of the subwoofer speaker(not the wattage)
Larger is better.
Try the integrated speakers first.
You can always add separate speaker system later.

Past that, I can't say from experience.
If you can hear your options first, that is best.
If not, you are left to read reviews and user experiences.

I think a 5.1 surround system might be more immersive so long as you have the type of room where you can properly place the surround speakers.

 
I don't really care much about sound quality as long as it's not so poor that it isn't calibrate-able. I've tried the integrated sound and it's so standard like other mainstream TVs. I wonder if buying another speaker will dramatically increase the sound quality. I think I will stop considering the soundbar because it's just so expensive.
