Hey everyone, I’m on the hunt for a new TV and figured the OzBargain community would know best.

Looking for a TV that’s great for watching footy (fast motion, smooth picture) and movies (good colours and contrast).

What are the current OzBargain-certified favourites in terms of price-to-performance? Any solid deals or models you’d recommend? Ideally, something that’s been tried and tested by fellow OzBargainers.

Appreciate any tips or links to bargains! Cheers!

Edit: ChatGPT has advised 65" is the best size for moi!

    LG C4

    TCL C745, C845, C855 for something decent

    TCL 655 for everything else.

    LG OLED if you have money to burn

      Thanks legend. When did TCL become a TV super power? (I have noticed these popping up and being mentioned in the comments recently).
      Also can I ask what exactly are so good about them now?

      Previously Ive only ever purchased Samsung, Hisense and LG.

        Yeah they sorted out their R&D ~2019 and since then have been making great value sets. LG & Samsung's picture processing is slightly better but you'll be paying 30% more for equivalent specs.

        We have a TCL in our bedroom. No complaints.
        Replaced the Bauhn unit from Aldi, which Aldi /Tempo gave us a credit on after they required pix of the severed power cable.

        One the credit was received, i opened it up and soldered the original cable back. Its now outside, and is still slow, unreliable and the remote is crap.

        When this happened, Samsung sold their panel making business to TCL, who in turn now supply most of the panels to Samsung.

    Somebody pass me the crystal ball or a magnifying glass so I can find the budget I missed on this post.

    Based on the budget and screen size you listed this>

    Knowing precisely what they mean can get confusing, but this comparison site seems thorough: https://www.rtings.com/tv

    LG C4 - spent the $ - it's worth it.

    • RickyPoontang on 23/12/2024 - 18:25

      Thanks Sal! What is so good about it for you?

    "fast motion, smooth picture"
    Oooh, plasma. Just won't be new or 65"
    .

      He needs that 43 inch Sony CRT.

      • BewareOfThe Dog on 23/12/2024 - 22:06

        That would weigh quite a bit.
        I remember some of the 28" CRT'S being 20-30kgs, especially Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba.
        Then there were the Philips 43" Rear Projection units (and 50?) Definitily a 2 person job.

    The Hisense U7N is a very good choice according to reviews.
