Best TV Under 2000 Australia: Get a Great Smart TV on a Budget
Are you looking for the best TV under 2000 in Australia? While it’s important to get a TV that’ll guarantee high quality entertainment, it’s equally (if not more) important to set a budget and stick to it. After all, it’s hard to enjoy a TV if it leaves a sizable hole in your wallet.
So, we’re going to do you a solid.
Below is a list of the best TVs that you can get in Australia for under $2000.
Best TV Under 2,000 AUD
It’s worth noting, before we start, that all of the TVs mentioned below have their own individual strengths and uniqueness.
This list is ultimately just a guide; and, if you find a TV later down this list that you think works better for you, we encourage you to go for it!
1. AU8000 Crystal UHD Smart TV ($1129)
Enjoy some of the most aesthetically pleasing TV you can possibly experience. Don’t believe us? Well, this TV marries a 4K UHD resolution with an almost impossibly thin AirSlim Design; so it shows you crystal clear TV while complementing your room perfectly. The Smart Connectivity and One Remote Control are the cherry on top.
2. The Freestyle Projector ($1499)
What if we told you that one of the best TV under 2000 in Australia is not even a TV? Easy to set up, able to create a crystal clear screen of up to 100” and offering premium 360° sound – this projector is very likely the AV solution that you’re looking for. Don’t worry about perfecting the picture, as this intuitive little projector will autofocus, image-straighten and scale for you.
3. The Sero Rotating TV ($1749) (Available in Blue & White)
The future is now! We don’t just watch content in landscape anymore (TikTok, anyone?). What if you could enjoy your favourite portrait content on a TV that seamlessly switches orientation on a dime? Couple that with premium sound and an anti glare matte display, and you have the future of televisual presentation right here.
4. The Frame QLED 4K Smart TV ($795/1495/1795) (Available in 32” / 43” / 50”)
TVs are the best, but what happens when you turn them off? They’re a faceless, jet black monolith that just sits there in your room (what is this, 2001: A Space Odyssey?). Well, this TV turns from a smart TV into a work of art when you turn it off, resembling framed artwork the likes of which you’d find in any prestigious art gallery. Of course, this gallery is one where you curate the art.
5. The Serif QLED 4K Smart TV ($1499) (Available in Blue & White)
Anyone familiar with typography is probably scratching their head. But, much like how simple notches add formal sophistication to text, they enhance the design of the smart TV. Not only do you have the superior picture and audio quality of a smart TV, but this TV’s modern design gives you the freedom to place it virtually anywhere in your living space.
6. Q60B QLED 4K Smart TV ($1495/1895) (Available in 55” / 65”)
“Quantum processing” is not a phrase you commonly associate with TVs, right? It sounds like something right out of science fiction. Yet, this TV uses quantum dot technology to provide unprecedented levels of colour detail, on top of smart connectivity and a sleek AirSlim design.
7. BU8000 Crystal UHD Smart TV ($895/995/1195/1495/1995) (Available in 43” / 50” / 55” / 65” / 75”)

8. QN90B Neo QLED 4K Smart TV ($1995)
How deep does the smart TV rabbit hole go? Well, what if we told you that there was a TV that uses quantum matrix technology to deliver a new standard in picture quality, delivering incredible detail, deep blacks and brilliant brightness and contrast? What if we then told you that you could experience this for under $2000? Well…
How do I Tell the difference Between these TVs?
We just listed eight different types of TV. Even though we’ve ranked them, you might have a different opinion to us when it comes to which TV is perfect for you. That is why, below, we’ve compiled a list of all of the criteria with which we group our TVs. It’s all part of our goal to help you find the TV that is perfect for you.
Display Size
Of course, the first question you should ask yourself is how big a TV you actually need. Too many people think the solution is to stretch their budget for the biggest TV possible, only to find that it doesn’t adequately fit their space, resulting in an uncomfortable viewing experience.
There are a few things you need to consider when it comes to selecting a TV display size for your home, such as:
- The physical space in which your TV is going to occupy
- The visual aesthetic of the room that your TV is going to complement
- The available distance from you and your TV
That last point is actually crucial. What a lot of prospective TV owners don’t realise is that the physical distance between you and your TV plays a crucial role in your capacity to truly experience and enjoy a 4K resolution.
Generally, the best TV display size corresponds to the following viewing distances for 4K:
- 70~79” - 1.8 to 3m (5.8 to 10ft)
- 60~69” - 1.5 to 1.8m (5 to 5.8ft)
- 50-59” - 1.28 to 1.5m (4.2 to 5ft)
- 40-49” - 1 to 1.28m (3.3 to 4.2ft)
Features
TVs don’t just display an image anymore. They’ve come a long way from cathode rays, vacuum tubes and electron guns. They are now a sophisticated marriage between elaborate hardware and perfectly crafted software to enhance your viewing experience in all kinds of interesting ways. Here are some of the features that our smart TVs provide in order to change the way you watch TV.
Ambient Mode
Too many people worry about what their TV looks like when it's on, but what about when it’s off? Well, ambient mode allows you to experience beauty right in your home. Customise your TV to showcase gorgeous wallpapers or even curated snippets of information when it is not in use. This turns your TV into the perfect centrepiece for your living space.
Bluetooth
Are you tired of wires? Well, we sure are, which is why our TVs allow for the use of Bluetooth connectivity to allow for the seamless wireless connection of various bluetooth wireless devices such as speakers, headphones – even gamepads and keyboards. Imagine your TV being a central hub for all of your favourite technology.
Game Mode
Game Mode is a setting used on various TVs to optimise their settings for playing video games with a gaming console, such as a PlayStation or Xbox. Turning on Game Mode lets the TV bypass some of the video processors which will cut down the amount of time the TV needs to process the video input from the game. You may notice a difference in both frame rate and image quality.
Motion Rate 200
Have you heard the term “refresh rate”? The refresh rate is the number of times every second that the TV draws a new image onto the screen. Our eyes don't see it, but the screen refreshes many times every second, and a higher refresh rate is important if you watch fast-moving content or play video games. While most TVs fall under a refresh rate of 60-120Hz, there are TVs that can simulate a refresh rate of 200Hz.
Object Tracking Sound
Object Tracking Sound analyses the input and content (e.g. movies, streaming, sports, gaming) and optimises and sends the sounds to the relevant speakers in your TV making sound move with the action. Now you can immerse yourself in a brilliant picture and sound that adapts to what you’re watching for an optimal experience.
Quantum Dot
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor particles a few nanometres in size, having optical and electronic properties that differ from larger particles due to quantum mechanics. They are a central topic in nanotechnology, but they also have been integrated into TVs in order to significantly enhance the colour of whatever image your TV is displaying.
Wide Viewing Angle
Viewing angle for TVs refers to the angle at which you can view the TV clearly. For a TV with a viewing angle of 0 degrees, you would only see the picture clearly if you view it directly in front of the TV (centred). If you viewed that TV off-centre, the image would look darker, less clear, less saturated, and have poor contrast. Our TVs have wide viewing angles, so you can see your image clearly, no matter where you are in the room.
Art Mode (+Art Store)
When your TV is turned off, why should it just sit there as a lifeless box? That’s why we stock TVs with Art Mode. When the TV is not displaying video, you can have it display Art Mode where you get ultra high quality, high resolution art prints or photography. Show off your favourite art; or even your own portfolio!
Customisable TV Bezel
TV designs have changed over the years. We supply TVs that come with their own customisable frames (all of which come in a variety of colours). You can personalise your TV so that it perfectly matches the aesthetic of your viewing room and contributes to the perfect comfortable viewing experience.
One Clear Cable
Is there anything worse than wire clutter? Some of our TVs are compatible with what’s called the One Clear Cable, which carries all the required TV signals, power and HDMI signals. It minimises clutter and uses a single cable to connect your TV to various sources, including the power cable.
Vertical TV Viewing
Do you want to watch mobile content on your TV? We stock a TV that follows your smartphone’s lead, with a rotating screen that helps ensure you enjoy your mobile content the way it was intended. Of course, it helps that we can enhance your mobile content with vivid Quantum Dot colour and room-filling Premium Sound.
One Remote Control
Having to look for different remotes for the devices connected to your TV isn't exactly ideal. One Remote Control is all you need to control all of your connected devices with your compatible TV. Go from watching the latest Blu-ray movie to your favourite show streaming online with a simple press of the One Remote Control.
Advanced Features
Some features are a bit more complicated than others. However, if you want the most control possible over your content, these are some of the features that you should be keeping an eye out for, as we have TVs for all of them.
HDMI 2.1
HDMI® Specification HDMI 2.1a is the most recent update of the HDMI® specification and supports a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates including 8K60 and 4K120, and resolutions up to 10K. Dynamic HDR formats are also supported, and bandwidth capability is increased up to 48Gbps.
Intelligent Mode
Of course artificial intelligence has been incorporated into smart TVs. Intelligent mode improves your viewing experience by recognizing your content, usage patterns, and the environment around your TV. Thanks to the AI technology, Intelligent mode will automatically adjust your settings, whether you are enjoying an action movie on a sunny morning or horror movies in the dark.
Music Streaming By NFC
NFC is a wireless communication between two devices which activates a transfer of data or power. A bit like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, except it uses electro-magnetic radio fields instead of radio transmission so when two compatible NFC chips come into contact with each other, they’re activated. With our smart TVs, you can stream music from your phone via an NFC connection.
Multi View
Do you want to enjoy various contents simultaneously? Multi View is a good solution for you. You can watch workout videos while watching your favourite show or game, without missing out on a thing. Multi View allows you to enjoy your favourite content on your TV, including live channels, apps, gaming consoles and mirrored contents from your mobile devices. You can view multiple content at once on your TV by using the Multi View feature.
Supported Features
Of course, part of using a smart TV to the fullest means taking advantage of third party integration. Below, we’ve listed the software and devices that your brand new smart TV can interact with.
AirPlay 2 Support
AirPlay 2 is Apple’s media sharing technology that adds the ability to stream music to multiple audio devices all at the same time. You could use it to call up a song on your iPhone and play it in multiple rooms simultaneously, or pick and choose which AirPlay speaker to stream to. Of course, your smart TV is one of the devices that AirPlay can connect to.
Streaming App Support
How many streaming services do you have? Sometimes, you don’t want to watch Stranger Things on your phone, you want to appreciate it on the big screen. That’s why we stock TVs that make that process as easy and as pleasant as possible. You can use all kinds of streaming apps with our TVs, including:
- Disney+ App
- Foxtel Now App
- Netflix App
- Apple TV App
Google Assistant I Amazon Alexa I Bixby
Remote controls are a thing of the past. Now you can control your TV using only your voice and one of the many smart assistant devices that companies like Google, Amazon and Samsung have pioneered.
YouTube
Of course, nothing beats a good YouTube binge. That’s why any smart TV worth its salt has effective integration with the YouTube app. All you have to do is download the app, and all of your favourite videos will be right there for you to watch.
What do I Miss Out on With an Under $2000 Price Point?
Let’s make no mistake; an under $2000 smart TV has everything you need for an enjoyable entertainment experience. However, there are certain features that you might want to consider, and they do command a higher asking price. These features include:
80”+ Display Size
If you have the space in your room for it, you might have a lot to benefit from with the sheer size and extravagance of a larger TV. If visuals are your priority and you want a hyper immersive large-screen experience, you’ll have a lot to look forward to with your larger TV display size.
UHD 8K Resolution
4K is pretty amazing. We all know that. However, 8K has a much higher resolution, and the visual difference is insane. 8K TVs have 33 million pixels—four times as many pixels as 4K TVs—so an 8K resolution gives you outstandingly crisp detail, particularly on the biggest 8K TV screen.
Attachable Slim One Connect Box
The function of the One Connect Box is to funnel cables and wires away from the television itself, outsourcing HDMI inputs, power connections, and the like, and ensuring the mess isn’t anywhere near the screen itself. Whether you place the One Connect Box underneath a wall-mounted screen, beside it on a counter, or hide it in a savvy manner within a media cabinet, it offers far more flexibility around your personal AV setup and home theatre system.
Infinity Display
The Infinity Display is the signature, virtually bezel-less screen that was first introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones that has since been integrated into their smart TVs. The large screen and curved sides create an incredibly immersive viewing experience because it covers nearly the entire front of the TV, stretching from one edge to the other.
