From movies and music to streaming and gaming, let's talk TV, tech and home entertainment!
Looking for a new TV without breaking the bank? Whether you want a big screen for movie nights, a budget-friendly gaming TV, or just a solid all-rounder for bingeing Netflix, we've rounded up nine of the best cheap TVs in Australia for 2025.
If you’re buying on a budget but don’t want to take your chances with a no-name/retailer’s own model, these affordable TVs from leading brands tick a lot of boxes, with impressive features ranging from QLED and Dolby Vision technology, to voice control and game mode.
The most popular screen sizes these days are 55“, 65” and 75 inch TVs, so that’s what we’re looking at here. The good news is that going budget doesn’t mean scrimping on picture quality: all of these TVs are 4K resolution, so you’ll get a whopping 8 million pixel bang for your buck.
We’ve grouped these TVs according to the prices they often retail for at Appliances Online, rather than their RRPs, which are significantly higher in many cases.
Don't want to pay for your cheap TV to be delivered? No worries, you don't need to.
A 55-inch TV is a great size for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, or apartments. For the best viewing experience, aim to sit about 2.2 to 2.5 metres away from the screen. These TVs balance price and performance, offering 4K UHD resolution and smart TV functionality without stretching your budget.
The Hisense Q6NAU offers impressive picture quality for a budget-friendly price. With QLED technology and Dolby Vision, colours pop and brightness levels are solid.

This TCL QLED TV is a fantastic option for an affordable 4K ultra HD television. The Google TV interface is smooth, offering built-in Chromecast and compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant. With HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, the image quality is great for a TV in this price range.

Hisense continues to impress with its Q6NAU series. This 75-inch model includes Dolby Atmos for immersive sound, a Game Mode for reduced lag, and Google TV for easy access to streaming services. It’s one of the best budget TVs in Australia for 2025.
If you have other Samsung appliances at home and like being able to connect them up to the SmartThings app, the DU7700 offers great picture quality at a budget price. Samsung is the World's biggest selling TV brand, and it's not hard to see why when you look at what you get for your dollar. Its Crystal UHD display provides vibrant colours, and the Tizen operating system supports Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and major streaming services.
