The response from the Twitterati ranged from the politically pointed to the hilarious.
Many were concerned about the myriad cables running into the TV, others with the TV itself.
Others were worried about the decor ... and the bad feng shui.
One suggested the PM could afford a better set-up, only to receive the reply "that's what happens when you spend $122 million on a survey" - a direct sledge at the cost of the same-sex marriage poll.
And some couldn't resist comparisons to the much-maligned NBN.
But others just wanted to improve the Australian PM's viewing pleasure.
There was even an offer from someone to loan the PM a TV so he could truly enjoy the World Cup.
We make it Twitter 1, Turnbull 0.
