Smart Shopping: Finding Cheap TV Deals for 40 Inch and 65 Inch Models

In our years of experience in electronics retail, one question we consistently hear is, "How can I find the best TV deals without breaking the bank?" I get it—buying a TV, whether it's your first one or an upgrade, is a big decision. And let's be honest: not all of us want to spend thousands to get a quality viewing experience.

Thankfully, you don't have to. Right now, two of the most popular TV sizes among Aussie shoppers are the versatile 40-inch and the immersive 65-inch models. Both sizes have their benefits, and both are available at fantastic prices—if you know where and how to look.

Today, lets walk you through exactly how to find cheap TV deals for these two popular screen sizes. By the end of this article, you'll feel confident making an informed decision, ensuring you get the best value without sacrificing quality.

So, let's jump right in!

Why 40-Inch and 65-Inch TVs?

You might wonder why these two sizes specifically. Good question! Let me briefly explain.

A 40-inch TV is perfect for smaller spaces, like bedrooms, apartments, or secondary living rooms. It's big enough to provide a comfortable viewing experience yet small enough to fit neatly in compact spaces. These TVs are usually budget-friendly, making them a great option for students, couples, or anyone looking to stretch their dollars further.

On the other hand, 65-inch TVs have become incredibly popular in recent years due to their cinematic appeal. These larger screens deliver a genuinely immersive viewing experience, perfect for family movie nights, sports enthusiasts, or dedicated gamers. Prices vary widely, but with some smart shopping strategies, you can definitely land an amazing 65-inch TV at a surprisingly low cost.

Now, let’s talk about how to actually find these amazing deals.

Understanding What Influences TV Pricing

Before we explore where to find deals, it's essential to understand why TV prices can fluctuate so much. Many factors influence the cost of a TV, and knowing these can help you identify genuine value:

1. Screen Resolution and Picture Quality

Resolution significantly impacts price. Generally, 4K UHD TVs cost more than Full HD (1080p) models. But prices for 4K TVs have dropped considerably over recent years, so now is an excellent time to invest in superior picture quality without overspending.

2. Brand Reputation

Top-tier brands typically command higher prices due to their proven quality and customer support. However, lesser-known brands or emerging local brands like Palsonic often provide excellent quality at more competitive prices. If you're budget-conscious, exploring reputable but less famous brands can yield substantial savings.

3. Smart Features

Smart TVs offer built-in apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime. Typically, more advanced smart features or faster processors add cost. Assess what features you genuinely need—many affordable TVs still offer great smart functionality without premium prices.

4. Refresh Rates and Gaming Capabilities

Gamers usually require TVs with higher refresh rates and special gaming modes. If gaming isn’t your priority, you can find cheaper TVs without these specialised features.

Understanding these factors lets you pinpoint exactly what you need, and what you don’t—saving you money along the way.

Where and How to Find the Best TV Deals

Now for the exciting part! Here’s how you can find amazing deals on both 40-inch and 65-inch TVs:

1. Look Out for Seasonal Sales

Timing your TV purchase around specific sales events can significantly reduce costs. Popular times include:

• Black Friday/Cyber Monday: Often featuring dramatic discounts across multiple brands.

• Boxing Day Sales: Known for incredible post-Christmas deals.

• EOFY (End of Financial Year): Great discounts as retailers clear inventory.

If you’re patient enough to wait for these sales, you could easily score yourself a top-quality TV at a fraction of its usual price.

2. Check Out Clearance and Last-Year Models

Retailers frequently clear out older stock when new models arrive. Often, the difference between last year's and this year's models is minimal—maybe slightly updated software or minor cosmetic tweaks. If you're not fixated on owning the absolute latest technology, choosing a clearance or older model can save hundreds of dollars without sacrificing noticeable quality.

3. Consider Refurbished or Open-Box TVs

Buying a refurbished TV can be an excellent way to get a high-quality TV at a much lower price. Refurbished TVs are products that have been returned, repaired (if needed), and tested thoroughly. They typically come with a limited warranty, offering you peace of mind.

Open-box TVs—returned simply due to buyer’s remorse or incorrect size purchases—are another excellent choice. They often carry full warranties and substantial price reductions.

4. Local Electronics Stores and Online Retailers

Don’t limit your search to big retailers only. Local electronics stores often run unique promotions, provide personalised customer support, and might even match prices. Here at Palsonic, for example, we focus on providing Australians with premium-quality TVs at highly competitive prices.

Online retailers also regularly feature exclusive deals and promo codes, so it pays to shop around and compare online prices before deciding.

Quick Pricing Guides: What’s a Good Deal?

Here’s a brief pricing guide based on current market standards to help you quickly assess what qualifies as a good deal:

• 40-Inch TVs:

  • Entry-Level (Full HD, basic smart features): Around $250–$400

  • Mid-Range (Full HD/4K, smart capabilities, better build): Around $400–$700

  • Premium (4K, advanced features, premium brand): $700+

  • Premium (OLED/QLED, advanced features): $2000+

Knowing these benchmarks helps you recognise whether the price you're seeing is genuinely competitive.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls When Buying Budget TVs

While hunting for cheap TV deals, keep these key points in mind to avoid potential pitfalls:

• Check Reviews Carefully: Always research reviews from real customers. Look out for consistent complaints about picture quality, reliability, or smart functions.

• Verify Warranty Information: Ensure the TV comes with a solid warranty, even if it’s a refurbished or clearance item.

• Assess Long-term Value: Saving money now is great, but always consider longevity. Sometimes paying slightly more upfront can save money down the road.
