Best 65-inch TV in Australia (2026)

65 inches has quietly become the default size for a main living-room TV in Australia. It is big enough to feel like an upgrade over the 55-inch sets most people are replacing, without dominating a normal-sized room or your budget. The panel technology has also matured at this size, so you can get genuinely excellent picture quality without stepping up to the premium tiers.

The picks below are ranked by value from the TVs we track across the major Australian retailers, and the prices are live - they update as deals move, so what you see is current, not a snapshot from whenever this was written.

What to look for in a 65-inch TV

Panel technology

The three types you will see are LED/LCD (cheapest), QLED and Mini-LED (brighter, better contrast) and OLED (the best black levels and contrast, at a premium). For a bright, sunlit living room, Mini-LED brightness often matters more than OLED's perfect blacks. In a darker room, OLED pulls ahead. Our panel technology guide breaks down the trade-offs.

Refresh rate and gaming

If you have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, look for a 120Hz panel with VRR and ALLM. If the TV is mostly for movies and streaming, a standard 60Hz panel is fine and saves money.

Brightness and HDR

Brightness is what makes HDR content actually pop, and it is the single biggest driver of perceived picture quality in a normal room. Mini-LED sets tend to lead here.

Smart platform

Most 65-inch TVs now run Google TV, Tizen (Samsung) or VIDAA (Hisense). They all cover the major streaming apps; the difference is in speed and clutter. An Apple TV or similar box sidesteps the built-in platform entirely if you find it sluggish.

When to buy

Here is the thing worth knowing: the big Australian retailers largely hold TVs at the manufacturer's recommended price for most of the year, so at any given moment you will often find the same TV for the same price everywhere. The real savings come from timing. See our guide to the best time to buy a TV in Australia, and set a price alert on the model you want so you know the moment it drops.
