“Aussie families are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a dynamic TV that suits their space, budget and viewing habits,” says John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions. 

So which will you choose? Here are eight of the top-rated TV brands and the popular screens that make them seriously worth considering.

Samsung TVs

As 2024’s most popular TV brand in Australia, you’ll find a Samsung TV set in 1 out of 3 Aussie homes. Why? Because the South Korean brand is renowned for its world-class screen tech, championing bright and glare-free OLED and QLED screens and picture-perfect 8K resolution. Alongside that, you’ve got smart AI-powered processors that optimise everything you watch; and artful lifestyle TVs, such as The Frame, to display gallery art – or your favourite photos – when not in use.
