Whether you’re a sports fan, a gamer, or a movie fanatic, we all have one thing in common; a bigger screen is always better for watching our favourite shows.
Unfortunately, bringing that immersive feeling home can cost hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds more than what most of us can reasonably afford to spend on a TV, especially when shopping for premium brands such as Samsung and LG.
So, if you want a big TV but can't afford a new one, what are your options? The good news is that you don't have to settle for a poor-quality screen or take a risky gamble on Facebook Marketplace. There's a much smarter middle ground to find affordable 75 Inch TV deals.
The Big Screen Dilemma
The jump from a 50-inch TV to a 58-65 inch TV, or even a 70-75 inch TV screen, is dramatic. It’s the difference between sticking Corrie on and feeling as though you have your own mini home cinema.
However, purchasing a TV of that size can feel unaffordable to most. If you start browsing high-street retailers, you may get a shock to see how much a current-generation 75” OLED TV is from a leading brand. For many households, the price tag simply isn’t realistic.
But for a savvy shopper, it’s clear that you don’t necessarily need to buy a brand-new TV to get the premium big screen experience at home.
The Pitfalls of "Cheap" New TVs
It may be tempting to buy a very cheap large-screen TV from an unfamiliar budget brand, rather than a household name such as Sony. However, a bigger screen doesn’t automatically mean a better viewing experience, and you’re at risk of purchasing something that’s subpar.
Many ultra-budget TVs suffer from:
-
Weak contrast and washed-out colours
-
Limited brightness
-
Sluggish smart TV software
-
Lower-quality speakers and build materials
In other words, you may get the size you want, but not the performance you were hoping for. That’s why many people are much better off buying the best budget 65 inch TV as a discounted premium brand rather than a brand-new bargain model.
The Second-Hand Gamble
The next option is buying used from a private seller on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or eBay. There are some genuine bargains to be had on these online marketplaces, but it’s also a gamble as to whether you’ll get the TV you’re expecting.
There’s often limited protection when buying through marketplaces, and so you’re at risk of having:
-
No warranty
-
Hidden screen faults
-
Missing accessories
-
Unknown usage history
-
Difficulty returning the TV if something goes wrong
Although cheap large screen TVs may look fine in the photos, they may well develop backlight issues, dead pixels, or software problems a week later that you aren’t protected against.
When buying privately, your protection is often extremely limited.
This is why the difference between graded vs second hand TV is so important.
The Graded Sweet Spot
Even some of the savviest buyers don’t realise what graded TVs are and how they can save you money on a premium large screen TV.
A graded TV is typically a premium-brand television (such as Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.) that has been heavily discounted because it can no longer be sold as ‘brand new’.
Reasons may include:
-
Customer 30-day returns
-
Surplus retailer stock
-
Ex-display showroom models
-
Packaging damage
-
Minor cosmetic imperfections

Choosing Between A Graded Vs Second Hand TV
The key difference between a ‘graded’ and a ‘second hand’ TV is that, typically, a graded TV hasn’t been used or has been used for a minimal amount of time. Whereas a second hand TV is usually sold as a result of someone wanting to upgrade their current screen and so will have been used for a much longer timeframe.
The other key difference is that you can purchase a graded TV through a trusted reseller, such as Electronic World, whereas with second-hand products you’re unlikely to be given the peace of mind that comes with a 12-month warranty or ability to return a TV you’re not happy with.
If you're looking for affordable 75 inch TV deals, graded stock is often where the best value is found.
Guaranteed Peace of Mind
The biggest advantage of buying graded from Electronic World TV is that you get the savings of a discounted TV without the risks of buying second hand.
Every graded TV is professionally inspected and tested by experienced engineers before it is sold. That means you can enjoy a massive premium-brand TV with confidence, knowing you're protected if anything goes wrong.
If you’re wanting to buy a bigger TV but feel as though you can’t afford one, the answer isn’t necessarily to buy a budget-brand TV, it’s to buy a bigger and better TV at a lower price.
Graded TVs let you access premium technology, larger screen sizes and trusted brands without paying full retail prices. For most buyers, that's the sweet spot between affordability and quality.
