The Cyber Monday sales in Australia have officially come to a close, but it seems TV retailers haven't yet got the memo, as you can still bag some of the best prices of the year on the best screens.

The best Cyber Monday TV deals see thousands of dollars knocked off premium OLED and QLED sets, but even inexpensive LCD and mini-LED TVs from the likes of TCL and Hisense can also be picked up for less – sometimes with prices cut by up to 50 per cent.

TV prices have been fluctuating daily over the past week, so we're keeping them as updated as possible as we come to the end of what has been a very strong few days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. The good news is that the best prices seem to be holding strong – and in some cases dropping even further – but we can't say for sure how long they'll last.

To help you find the best deals during the Cyber weekend, we are using our expertise to track down TV discounts that are genuinely worth your time. For those who are due a home entertainment upgrade or in need of a second or even third TV for another room, this page should help you out, so be sure to bookmark it.

Cyber Monday TV sales in Australia: early deals now live

LG C4 OLED (65-inch)
LG C4 OLED (65-inch): was AU$4,299 now AU$2,596 at Appliance Central

Save AU$1,703

Other sizes:
42-inch for AU$2,199 AU$1,245 (AU$1,195 for eBay Plus members)
48-inch for AU$2,499 AU$1,725
55-inch for AU$3,299 AU$1,888

TCL C855 (65-inch)
TCL C855 (65-inch): was AU$2,995 now AU$1,620 at Appliance Central

Save AU$1,375
We actually haven't had a chance to go eyes-on with the C855 this year, but our friends over at TechRadar have, claiming it to be "easily one of the most impressive budget mini-LED TVs you can buy". We wouldn't argue with that observation considering its predecessor scooped an Award in 2023. A major increase in dimming zones helps it to deliver an incredible image for the price (especially at this discounted rate) and it's a great option for gamers.

Other sizes:
75-inch for AU$3,995 AU$2,149
85-inch for AU$4,995 AU$2,720

TCL C805K (85-inch)
Five stars
TCL C805K (85-inch): was AU$3,999 now AU$2,180 at Powerland

Save AU$1,819
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. We said it's "a dream come true for home cinema fans who aren’t lucky enough to have limitlessly deep pockets" in our full review, earning it a coveted five stars in the process.

Samsung S90D (55-inch)
Samsung S90D (55-inch): was AU$3,295 now AU$1,899 at Appliance Central

Save AU$1,396
Another screen that has seemingly evaded the What Hi-Fi? review treatment, the Samsung S90D can now be had with a terrific discount. We've seen its bigger brother, the S95D, and that's a phenomenal screen, so we have high hopes for this one too.

Other sizes:
65-inch for AU$4,295 AU$2,550

Sony Bravia 8 (K65XR80)
AWARD WINNER!
Sony Bravia 8 (K65XR80): was AU$4,495 now AU$3,370 at eBay

Save AU$1,125
Our Product of the Year in the TVs category, the Sony Bravia 8 is nothing short of outstanding. Alongside its natural, detailed image is an exceptional built-in audio system that can often negate the need for a soundbar. eBay Plus members can grab it for AU$3,270.

LG G4 OLED (65-inch)
LG G4 OLED (65-inch): was AU$5,295 now AU$3,380 at Appliance Central

Save AU$1,915
The fact that the only real niggle we could find with LG's premium G4 was its audio performance should tell you everything you need to know. A step up over the LG C4 above, this is one of the best OLED TVs to be released this year, though it does carry a premium price tag despite this generous discount.

Alternatively, you can buy directly from LG and, when bundled with the SG10TY soundbar, the whole package comes to AU$4,098.

Hisense U7N (65-inch)
Hisense U7N (65-inch): was AU$2,295 now AU$1,190 at Appliance Central

Save AU$1,105
Our friends at TechRadar deemed this to be a marvellous TV in their Hisense U7N review, and a great option for anyone looking for near-flagship performance without the associated high costs. We haven't reviewed this particular model, but we have tested the step-up U8 model and found it very good for the price, which bodes well for this one.

When is the best time to buy a TV?

TV prices fluctuate massively over the course of a year, and knowing the best time to buy can be the difference between bagging a bargain and paying well over the odds. Generally speaking, three times of year are best to buy a new TV: autumn, big sales events, and big sporting events when dedicated promotions are likely.

Why autumn? This is because it's the time of year that all of the previous year's TVs tend to be sold with huge reductions so that space can be made for the new models that were announced in January. Generally speaking, TV improvements are fairly incremental from one year to the next and you can usually save yourself hundreds, if not thousands, by opting for last year's model. A word of warning, though: these are end-of-line models we are talking about – so when they're gone, they're gone. Wait too long for the very lowest price and you could end up missing out entirely.

While slightly less obvious, big sporting events often really do generate big deals on new TVs. Think Wimbledon, the Olympics and of course soccer (football!) tournaments such as the World Cup, Euros and the FA Cup Final.

Naturally there are several big sales events to mark in your calendar, too: Amazon Prime Days (one around July, one around October), Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) and the Boxing Day and January sales. This year's two Amazon Prime Days have now been and gone, as has Black Friday, but Cyber Monday is happening now always (Monday 2nd December) and Boxing Day is of course a few weeks away. These sales events typically offer the very lowest prices you will see all year, so you can be pretty sure of getting a great deal – especially if you use deals guides like this one, where our TV editors pick only the best discounts available.
