The LG C4 OLED is the model we currently consider to be the best overall option for most people. It delivers a superb image, complete with OLED's famed inky deep blacks. A new processor enables it to go a touch brighter than the model it succeeds, too, and its gaming credentials are second-to-none.
Other sizes:
- 55-inch for AU$3,299 AU$1,960
- 77-inch for AU$5,995 AU$4,148

A number of retailers in Australia have knocked down the price of this terrific TCL TV, but this is the outright cheapest we can find. Improving upon its 2023 predecessor in more ways than one, it delivers a performance that far outweighs its price tag. In fact, we even said it was "easily one of the most impressive budget mini-LED TVs you can buy" at its full price. Shaving off over a grand from that price makes this an even easier telly to recommend.

If you want a big screen TV but don't have the ability (or the desire) to really splurge, the 85-inch TCL C805K is for you. This 85-inch variant is huge, bright, great with HDR and has very good gaming specs. Our friends at What Hi-Fi? said in their review, it's "a dream come true for home cinema fans who aren’t lucky enough to have limitlessly deep pockets".
Save AU$1,311
Definitely one of the lowest prices we've seen on this screen, now would be the time to snap it up before it may increase. We haven't had a chance to test the S90D this year, unfortunately, but given the incredibly quality of its S90C predecessor, we have high expectations for it. Given the size of this saving, we can't be sure it will drop any lower, so make of that what you will.
Save AU$1,835
A huge saving here on what is one of the best TVs to be released this year. Practically faultless, it will elevate your home cinema experience unlike anything you've seen before. Colours, brightness, contrast and gaming credentials, it has it all. Just remember to enter the code you see at Bing Lee's eBay Store to get the full saving.

'Budget' TVs have certainly closed the gap, performance wise, with the flagship TVs of the world in 2024 and the Hisense U7N (along with the TCL C855 further up) is a prime example of that. It's not quite best-in-class, admittedly, but for the price, we can't imagine anyone will be disappointed. Colours are vibrant, brightness is good and it has an excellent suite of gaming features.

Obviously not a TV, the Samsung The Freestyle is one of the best portable projectors you can buy. It only supports up to full HD resolution, but the picture it serves up is bright enough for casual daytime viewing with accurate colours. When the lights go down, things naturally improve further and we loved its gaming capabilities. The price here is for non-members, but if you're a Kogan First member, you can pick it up for AU$945.

Early Black Friday soundbar and media streamer deals
Save AU$826
One of the best soundbars to be released this year, the Samsung Q990D represents the easiest way to get Dolby Atmos at home. It delivers a powerful, engaging sound with crisp, clear dialogue. And thanks to its rear surrounds, the enveloping Atmos effect is as authentic as they come. At full price it is expensive, but this saving fixes that. We have seen it go lower, so it may come down further during Black Friday.
Save AU$503
One of the best single unit Dolby Atmos soundbars, the Sonos Arc is a fantastic addition to any home cinema system. It's compatible with a huge range of music streaming services too and you can add optional rear speakers and a subwoofer to create a more immersive speaker package.
eBay Plus members can save an additional AU$70, while non-Plus members can save an additional AU$50.
Save AU$20.01
Easily one of the best media streaming devices on the market, the Apple TV 4K is super smooth to operate, supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos content, gives access to a wide range of apps, and the picture quality it serves up is excellent. https://www.amazon.com.au/Amazon-Stream-Netflix-YouTube-Sports/dp/B0CJKV1J9N

Black Friday 2024 TV deal predictions
Whilst we will have to wait until the all-important date of Friday 29th November to find out exactly which TVs will be getting the Black Friday deal treatment, we can use experience from Black Friday sales gone by to make some predictions, which could help you decide how much money – if any – you'll want to start saving.
OLED TVs have seen a slight surge in recent years. For a time, LG was virtually the only TV manufacturer to put its weight behind the technology, but Samsung and Sony now have a strong footing too. However, while LG sticks with pure WOLED displays – some of which get brightness-boosting Micro Lens Array (MLA) tech – Samsung adopts Quantum Dot technology in addition, to help its TVs go exceedingly bright.
The LG G4 and C4 proved to be exceptional screens in 2024 and the Samsung S95D introduced a new anti-reflective layer that makes it a great option for brighter rooms. We did see discounts on the predecessor models to all three of these in 2023 (and they have received discounts already at various times throughout the year) so our fingers are crossed for a repeat this year.
Big-screen TVs – and by big, we really do mean it – have have seen their numbers increase in 2024, with 98-inch screens appearing more and more. But, a screen this size is still a sizeable investment, with prices soaring well beyond more conventional sizes of 65- and 75-inch. If you've been itching to bring a genuinely big-screen experience home, Black Friday 2024 could be the time to do it.
To help give you a rough idea of what to expect in the Black Friday TV sales 2024, you can find a selection of the best deals we saw in 2023 below.
Best Black Friday TV deals from 2023
LG B3 5 4K OLED TV
LG's 'entry-level' OLED TV saw discounts of around AU$1,000 during the last Black Friday, and so we're hoping its B4 successor receives similar treatment this year. While the B4 is still the entry-level model in LG's line up, it does usher in some notable upgrades over the B3, namely HDMI 2.1 support across all four of its inputs, making it a terrific option for gamers.
LG G3 OLED evo TV
The creme de la creme of LG's OLED TV lineup for 2023, the G3 OLED evo received huge discounts, particularly on the larger sizes. In our LG G4 review from this year, we said "Image quality remains up there with the best of the bunch and contrast is as good as it currently gets." If the discounts prove as fruitful this year, the G4 will be a screen to look out for.
Samsung S90C OLED TV
One of our favourite TVs of 2023 received equally favourable discounts for Black Friday, often in the realm of AU$1,500 depending on the size. Although our review of its successor, the S90D, is still on the way, we have no doubts it will just as competent a performer.
Samsung The Freestyle Projector 2nd Gen
Projectors can often be forgotten about but Samsung's portable The Freestyle is proof they still have a place. We didn't see massive discounts on this model last year, but it could already be considered affordable. If it gets a discount this year, we'll be sure to let you know.
Sony A80L OLED TV
The Sony A80L delivers a near-flagship performance without the price tag, a feat shared by its spiritual successor in 2024, the Bravia 8. Stock of the A80L has virtually dried up, so all eyes will now be on the newer model.
Sony A90K 42-inch OLED TV
Despite launching in 2022, Sony is still selling this superb 42-inch OLED screen. What's a little more surprising is that it still doesn't get particularly big discounts, with only around a AU$700 saving last year. Perhaps its second birthday will usher in something greater.
Black Friday TV deals 2024 FAQ
When will the best Black Friday TV deals start in 2024?
Black Friday officially begins on Friday November 29 2024. However, as we've seen in previous years, the discounts could start cropping up earlier. This varies from retailer to retailer as they try to outdo each other with earlier and earlier sales, but the best deals typically happen between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But keep a lookout from about a week ahead of the actual Black Friday date.
Where are the best places to find Black Friday TV deals?
In Australia, you'll find the best Black Friday TV deals from many of the usual brick and mortar retailers including JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys, along with several reliable online stores. Discounts will usually consist of hundreds of dollars off the usual RRP, while some models (most often clearance stock from last year) will even get slashed by thousands.
In our experience, you can count on the following retailers for Black Friday TV bargains:
- Appliance Central: TVs regularly discounted
- Appliances Online: big discounts continue on popular screens
- Bing Lee: prices slashed on big name screens
- Kogan: regular deals on TVs of all sizes
- The Good Guys: great prices and price match offers
Should I wait until Cyber Monday for TV deals?
That depends. Cyber Monday kicks off on the first Monday after Black Friday, falling on December 2 this year. You'd be forgiven for thinking all the deals would be exhausted over Black Friday (which typically extends throughout November these days), but Cyber Monday is still a great time to save money on the tech you want.
We'd recommend going for the best Black Friday TV deals rather than waiting for Cyber Monday, but if you don't find what you're looking for, it's a great second chance to find a discounted TV.
Essentially, any online store is worth keeping an eye on over Cyber Monday; after all, it's a sales event dedicated to online shopping.
