A TV is a big purchase, but it doesn't have to be that expensive. Thanks to fierce competition and the falling price of more advanced technology, there are more budget models around than ever. Don't write them off just because they're cheap – you'd be amazed at how some of the more affordable sets perform.
If you are looking for a relatively cheap TV, TCL and Hisense are a great place to start. They're two of the biggest TV manufacturers at this end of the market, though their ranges do reach into the high end as well. They also make very big TVs for very reasonable prices, so are a great choice for a big screen experience on the cheap.
