What about more affordable TV options?We realise that the best TV isn't always something most people can afford that's why we've put together a list of the best cheap 4K TV deals in Australia.
Whether you're after a small or large telly, you're likely to find a suitable option for your budget.There's never a bad time to buy one of the best TVs of 2020.
So far, we've seen massive discounts on last year's top models, and in the coming months we expect to see a slew of new TVs from Sony, LG, Samsung, Hisense and TCL.
Before long, those same tellies will start progressively cheaper as we lead into the second half of the year.Speaking of, Samsung has just announced its crop of 2020 QLED TVs that include newer versions of the Q90, Q80, Q70 and Q60, and LG should have its 2020 OLEDs out in the next month or two.If you can't wait a few more months until new models arrive, however, there are plenty of amazing TVs from 2019 that are still well-worth buying often at significantly reduced prices.Below you'll find a list of 10 TVs that we can wholeheartedly recommend to Aussies.
That includes sets from the likes of TCL, which offer great performance at a really good price, and high-end options like QLED TVs from Samsung and OLEDs from LG.We're expecting a number of new television sets to hit the market in the coming months, but with 2020 only having just begun, we're still recommending the best TVs from the previous year until their replacements officially come around.Samsung Q90R QLED TVLG C9 OLED SeriesSony Bravia A8G OLEDSamsung Q900R QLED TVSony A9G Master Series OLEDLG B9 OLED SeriesSamsung Q70R QLED TVSony Bravia X9500G SeriesTCL X7 Series UHD QLEDLG SK85 Super UHDImage credit: Samsung 1.
Samsung Q90R QLED TVBright and beautiful but still missing some key components65-inch: QA65Q90R | 75-inch: QA75Q90RSuperb picture qualityIncredible HDR performanceWider viewing anglesComprehensive smart platformNo Dolby VisionLast year, the Samsung Q9FN was the TV to beat.
It won plaudits galore for its features and image quality, not to mention its excellent, improved smart platform that came with Bixby support and Samsung SmartThings.
However it wasnt perfect and there were legitimate complaints about viewing angles and an over-aggressive local dimming system that crushed detail just above black.Samsung has clearly taken these criticisms to heart, and directly addressed them in the Q90.
The new model has a visibly superior viewing angle that holds its own against an OLED TV, and the local dimming delivers deep blacks without losing shadow detail.
To that end, the new Ultra Black Elite filter is nothing short of a revelation, rejecting ambient light in a way that just staggers belief.The Q90 is able to deliver images that can directly compete with an OLED, with natural colors, bright highlights, deep blacks, and well defined shadows.
It can also surpass any OLED when it comes to HDR, with images that are often breathtaking in their detail and dynamic range.In fact our only real criticism would be that, unlike some of the competition, the Q90 doesnt support Dolby Vision.
However in all other respects the Samsung Q90 is an absolutely stellar TV that takes QLED to another level.Read the full review:Samsung Q90R QLED TVSamsung QN65Q90RAFXZA FlatLG C9 OLED Series (2019) 2.
LG C9 OLED SeriesLGs new OLED has evolved into the smartest TV on the planet55-inch: LG OLED55C9 | 65-inch: LG OLED65C9Superb picture qualityComprehensive featuresHighly effective smart platformLimited peak brightness for HDRNo HDR10+ supportThe LG C9 is a truly exceptional 4K OLED TV that takes what was so impressive about last years C8 OLED and builds on it.
The major difference is the inclusion of the 2nd generation Alpha9 processor, which uses AI enhancements to deliver stellar SDR and HDR images, and helps make the upscaling and processing second-to-none with incredible levels of detail and image fidelity.As is the case with all OLED TVs the panel brightness pales when compared to an LCD TV, but brightness isnt everything.
The absolute blacks and pixel level of precision afforded by the self-emissive technology ensures that HDR looks stunning.
Theres support for Dolby Vision as well, and only the absence of HDR10+ disappoints.There are other OLEDs worth considering this year (see: LG's own E9 Series) but we think the OLED C9 offers the best price-to-performance ratio of any TV under the sun true in 2019, and still true in 2020.Read the full review:LG C9 OLED (OLED55C9, OLED65C9, OLED77C9)LG OLED55C9PUA Alexa Built-inLG OLED65C9PUA Alexa Built-in(Image credit: Sony)3.
Sony Bravia A8G OLEDSony's latest OLED may be expensive, but it's totally worth the price.55-inch: Sony KD55A8G | 65-inch: Sony KD65A8GAmazing 4K HDR performanceUltra-customizable pictureBest motion processingMiddling sound qualityFairly expensiveIR remote isn't greatIf there's one thing that the A8G OLED proves, it's that Sony remains the king of upscaling.
In our review, we found that the Sony Brave A8G OLED was able to take old DVD HD/SDR footage and making it look modern, producing natural visuals and incredibly fluid motion.Admittedly, we're not too crazy about Sonys Acoustic Audio Surface tech, or the IR blaster remote that comes with the telly, but there's no denying that delivers the goods when it comes to its most important aspect: picture quality.That being said, Sony's AG8 is still on the expensive side, especially compared to the LG B9 and C9 OLED.
Both TVs cost much less and offer much of the same picture quality at a more attainable price point, however, it's our opinion that Sony's incredible upscaling tech does justify the increased cost.Read the full review:Sony Bravia A8G OLEDSony XBR-55A8G 55 Inch TV:Sony - 55" Class - OLED - A8GSamsung Q900R QLED TV 4.

And yet, while it's easy to be critical about the Samsung Q900R, it truly does usher in a new era of TV picture quality.Its native 8K pictures are incredible, looking just like the real world - only better.
But even more crucially given the dearth of true 8K content for the foreseeable future, the Q900R makes all todays lower resolution sources look better than they do anywhere else, too.Whether 8K delivers the same impact on smaller screens remains to be seen, but if you have a big enough room and budget, the Q900R is a vision of the future thats actually spectacularly worth buying today.Read the full review (UK version):Samsung Q950R 8K QLED TVSamsung 75' Class Q900 QLEDSamsung QN75Q900RB 75-inchSamsung QN82Q900RB 82-inchSamsung QN85Q900R 85" QLED 8KViewSony Bravia A9G OLED (2019) (Image credit: Sony)5.

It embraces a characteristically minimalist design that disguises a host of cutting-edge features like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, plus Netflix Calibrated Mode (of interest to many), and IMAX Enhanced certification (of interest to few).This is a screen that looks premium, and has a spec on the right side of righteous.
The Android platform is easy to live with, that vibrating sound system entertaining and picture quality top notch.
Offering Dolby Vision is a welcome refinement, but the caveat is a lack of support for HDR10+.
That said, it does a fabulous job up-scaling HD/SDR so it's easy to overlook the lack of at least one HDR format.It's undoubtedly expensive but, all things considered, this glass is class.Read the full review:Sony A9G Master Series OLEDSony XBR-55A9G 55" MasterSony 55" Class 4K UHD OLEDSony XBR-55A9G 55" BRAVIAViewSony - 55" Class - OLED - A9GLG B9 OLED Series (2019) (Image credit: LG)6.

So what should you buy? Check out the X9500G series.
With superb 4K image clarity, powerful SDR-to-HDR remastering, and a smooth direct LED backlight, Sony is offering something very different with the X9500G.Right out of the box, the best way to describe the image quality of the X9500G is well, natural.
Its not flashy.
Its not overly bright.
Colors arent oversaturated.
Its just a really natural picture with subdued colors and great black levels perfect for HD/SDR content.That said, if youre the kind of person that wants a bit more pop to your images all you need to do is turn on Live Color in the picture settings.
This mode works on HD/SDR content to add a bit more color saturation to the image and helps to make the image pop in a way that really grabs your attention.Its a shame that poor sound quality ruined such a great 4K/HDR TV, however, taken by itself, the Sony X9500G is an immaculate screen with a ton of potential.Read the full review:Sony BRAVIA X950G (XBR-65X950G)Sony TV 55 Inch LED 4K UltraViewSony X950G 55 Inch TV: 4KSony X950G 55 Class BRAVIASony 65" Class 4K UHD LED(Image credit: TCL)9.

It is remarkable in that physically one could almost mistake it for an OLED panel.
It has a similar pane-of-glass look which is very modern in its styling.If you're after a TV with plenty of smarts, TCL has you covered, as the X7 Series runs on Android 8.0 Oreo.
as this is an Android TV, it does implement Google Assistant voice control.
It's also compatible with Amazon Alexa, albeit with a bit of hoop-jumping involving TCL Alexa skills.In terms of raw power, the X7 It is fitted with a 1.1GHz, 64-bit quad-core CPU with 2.5GB of processing RAM.
Occasionally, this resulted in some minor judder and artefacting with 1080i/50 and 576i/50 content, but this shouldn't prove too much of an issue.This telly offers Ultra HD (4K) resolution and HDR picture support (although not Dolby Vision), and thanks to the inclusion of 16 local dimming zones, the X7 is able to produce some wonderfully deep black levels.
It's also a QLED TV, which uses quantum dots to deliver improved colour precision an impressive feat given its price point.(Image credit: LG)10.
