Are you a movie-mad household with serious big-screen envy? A recent home leaver fed up with watching your favourite shows on a laptop? The Good Guys Black Friday sale is your golden ticket to scale up your home theatre set-up and nab that cutting-edge TV or audio tech you thought was out of reach.
“A home entertainment system can be as big or as small as you like,” says John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories. “It can be a dedicated media room with a projector or a TV hooked up to a soundbar – and Black Friday is your chance to make whichever style you’re dreaming of a reality.”
Here are some top tips from our expert buyers on how to get the biggest bang for your buck during the Black Friday 2024 sale – and a home entertainment upgrade to smash the ratings (and your next movie night) for years to come.

Then, come in-store and talk to our experts ahead of D-Day so you can narrow down the right home theatre system for your needs and budget.

Find Your Big Screen Star Match
It all starts with the screen. And the bigger the better. With their ultrawide field of vision, large screens are the secret to creating big-stadium vibes or Hollywood magic in the comfort of your living room. “Most of the latest big TVs deliver impressive features, such as enhanced dynamic range and ultrasharp 4K resolution, which means you can now sit closer to your screen. So sizes you may have ruled out previously might now be an option,” says John Milonas.

Scale Up Your Sound
“Audio tech is also in huge demand every Black Friday and can totally transform your home entertainment set-up,” says Christos Boukogiannis, The Good Guys Buyer – Audio.
Consider a smart soundbar that can simulate the Dolby Atmos cinema experience for next-level TV and tunes. Or a pair of wireless home theatre headphones to savour the majesty of surround sound without waking the neighbours.
Don’t have the space (or budget) for an army of speakers?
“A soundbar-and-subwoofer combo is one of the best and easiest ways to get that immersive audio sound that everyone wants,” says Christos. “Especially if it supports Dolby Atmos and has upfiring speakers that can bounce sound from the ceiling for even more high-impact audio.”

The most advanced models come with in-built TV tuners, rich surround sound and outstanding picture quality – optimised for brightness, colour and tone – for everything from epic match days to a cinema under the stars.
