Updated August 2026

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 2026.

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.
