I highly suggest you get a TV with a very low input delay, it will make your gaming experience much better! Try to avoid TVs that have a input delay greater than 20 milliseconds. Here is a link to the best TVs rated for low input delay. Sometimes it is listed on the specs as response time instead.

I am not sure what TVs are available in Australia, and it also limits options since you want a cheap one. But yeah, just something to keep in mind. Try to not get something with more with 30ms if you can, most TVs have a "game mode" in the settings to help with that issue.

most newer tvs have a game mode to reduce or eliminate imput delays caused by image enhancements

many older ones do not and will have 50-100+ms input delay

Avoid Walmart TVs like the plague

“While it can be hard to resist paying $150 for a 40-inch TV, sometimes if a deal is too good to be true, it probably is,” explained Sherin. “If you are really wanting to invest in a quality TV, stick with retailers like Best Buy whose specialty is electronics.”

Glaser adds that you can even find better deals on high-end TVs at other competitors. “For the higher quality TVs, Dell Home and eBay consistently offer better deals,” he said. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/30-items-to-avoid-at-walm_b_9533516

[_I_]

walmart/bestbuy do have a some good ones, but they are few and far between

newer samsung, lg, visio are fine
avoid emerson, philips and other unknown brands (upstar)

and look at specs
4k may not have a 4k hdmi2.0 input
full 1080p = 1080p
1080 = 1080i (avoid)
hd = 720i/p (avoid)

smart isnt as bad as it used to be, lots of those features can now be disabled

if a store has one on display, see if you can navigate its menus to to to game mode and disable overscan

Also check out reviews online, especially video reviews on YouTube. Make sure the review goes into detail regarding gaming performance. As said before, go with the well known brands. Samsung and LG have some good models.

Do not be tempted with the cheaper brands or unheard brands, you'll be disappointed.
