If you are planning to upgrade to a new shiny flagship TV this year, your decision as to buying can now be a little easier (or more difficult, if you had a particular brand in mind) after the announcement of the official Australian prices of Samsung, Sony and LG.
LG was the first to get out of the door to reveal the price of its OLED 2025 televisions, which includes the B5, C5 and FLAGSHIP G5 ranges. The good news for LG fans is that the Korean company does not increase the prices on its G5 flagship models, which remain the same as their G4 equivalents when they were launched in 2024. But the best news is that at the time of writing, LG is already reduced to $ 2000 to the entire G5 range, with prices starting at $ 3,899 for the 55 -inch model.
It is a similar story for the Samsung S95F OLED family, which also launches at the same prices in all the screen sizes as its S95D predecessor, exceeding $ 9,999 to the 83 inch model.
However, although the OLED 2025 televisions from LG and SAMSUNG are at a fairly competitive price here in Australia, the same cannot be said for the Sony Bravia 8 II, which will be launched at $ 5,499 to the 65 -inch model. It is $ 200 at more than equivalent LG and Samsung options. The comparison of prices between the trio of brands becomes a little more difficult outside the 65 inch model, because they do not all offer the same screen sizes.
The Sony Bravia 8 II, for example, is only available in variants of 55 inch and 65 inches, which means that anyone wishing a Sony TV on the big screen in 2025 will have to be satisfied with the Bravia 7 or Bravia 9 Mini-Led TV, or the Pas de Bravia 8 of 77 inch. Interestingly, the 77 -inch Sony A95L (the model that Bravia 8 II effectively replaces) remains on sale on foreign markets. We cannot find it in stock nowhere in Australia, but we contacted Sony to ask him if he plans to bring him back below; We will update this story once we know more.
Australian prices for all sizes of Sony Bravia 8 II, Samsung S95F and LG G5 can be found below. Please note that the price of LG G5 includes current reduction promotions directly from the manufacturer:

Which TV buy in 2025?
Despite the Sony Bravia 8 II to a slight bonus compared to its peers, the price of its screens is always competitive overall. It is also a bit of a waste compared to prices in the United Kingdom, where Sony screens are cheaper than those of LG, and prices in the United States, where Sony is more expensive (as in Australia).
In addition, you cannot yet buy Samsung or Sony televisions, although pre -orders are open. If you want a brand new OLED TV from model 2025 to go on your wall at the moment, your only option is LG – and taking into account the discounts currently offered, this is not exactly a bad thing.
If you currently have an LG G4, then on the basis of our first impressions of the LG G5 OLED TV, there could be a real reason to upgrade, since the latter television has arrived with a new four -step OLED panel to improve brightness and colors.
If you are already faithful to a particular brand, there is a good chance that you will be held this year, if you are able to upgrade your TV, that is to say. As we said in our Revue LG C5, however, it only offers minor improvements compared to its C4 predecessor, which means that anyone who has the latter television will not win much by improving.
We have seen the Samsung S95F here in the flesh in Australia and we must see the Sony Bravia 8 II Oled imminent. Complete criticisms for both are managed by our colleagues abroad and, based solely on prices, Sony will have to withdraw all stops to attract buyers in their corner.
