Happy with the purchase
Purchased mine in August last year and have not had any issues. Picture quality is better than expected.

Poor tv picture quality
A short while ago i purchased the Kogan 70” Smart HDR 4K LED TV ( Series 8 LU8010) the picture quality is rubbish. I mainly watch sports i have a 4k compatible HDMI cable, the increased pixels are obvious and make the picture seem almost fuzzy. Overall very disappointed with this. Does anyone or ( KOGAN ) think its worth trying to get the television professionally calibrated or am i wasting my time? I would not recommend to anyone wanting quality.

Suprisingly Good!
Bought last month after purchasing and returning a different 55"tv from a different company. Upon receiving the Kogan 55" tv I was more than satisfied after the experience I had just had. Fastforward 5 weeks on and I am still happy with the tv.
Considering the price, you cant expect it to be as clear or fast as a high-end tv which you would pay triple the price for. But for what it costs and how it performs, I cant complain.
The remote to tv sensor is about half a second delayed, but you get used to it. The tv colour is slightly, only slightly ...Read more

Dead out of the Box
Had a supposedly 'Refurbished' 58" Smart TV delivered today.
Took it out of the box, plugged it in and nothing.
Doesn't turn on and all the Kogan help desk people could suggest was to turn it off and on again.
Nothing else and no further response from the help desk.
Looked at it closely and what I was shipped is a 12 month old (from the build date) faulty TV.
All they did was box up someone else's faulty warranty return unit and charge me for it.
There is no way this was checked, turned on or 'Refurbished' in any way....Read more
A complete ripoff. Thanks for nothing.Purchased in August 2021 at Kogan.com for $520.00.

So after further to-ing and fro-ing, they had a courier pick the faulty unit up and take it away. Now I have to wait 2 weeks before they might send me an email.

s sort of thing by going to an actual physical store if you're after a TV. You'll pay a little more but at least you can return faulty goods and get a replacement or money back there and then.A week later and they email me to say that the TV is faulty.
Wow! it takes them a week to figure out what I knew 5 minutes after opening the box on its arrival, despite my having sent them a video of the problem that very night.

Emailed Kogan again today and demanded a call back from a manager. What I got was one of the support team people with the same meaningless platitudes. "Thank you for your patience" and "We are working... Read more

3rd Kogan TV. Great value!
This is my 3rd Kogan TV; affordable and works perfectly. This smart TV works on all HD channel, my previous Kogan Smart HD TV did not work on some channels which were frustrating.

I will buy another Kogan tv in the future

Not what was advertised
Kogan advertise it was coming with Freeview which was good cause I have no tv reception in my room. I cannot get Freeview at all, with no way of finding it.. for a smart tv there is no browser so I can't even get it through that. So basically it's just a tv with Netflix and Facebook.
The update that they provide which may of fixed this keeps failing. And there is no way to talk to support..

Great TV for the price
I was hesitant to buy this TV due to the mixed reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Picture quality is great and so is the sound quality. Honestly a great TV for the price. I won’t hesitate to buy a Kogan TV again

Terrible quality and faulty components
It has been almost one month since reporting to Kogan they had supplied me with a faulty TV and i still have no resolution.
Also the picture is so bad, forget about watching anything unless it is a still image. Their website gave this product over 4 stars from users. When i challenged Kogan on authenticity of this feedback they refused to provide their source. My research found users actually rated this product in the 2 star. As of today I have lodge a complaint with Consumer Affairs Victoria for misleading consumers.
Stay away from Kogan altogether

Not perfect, but good enough and smarter.
Have got this TV from Kogan as replacement, my previous Kogan Smart 4K KU 8000 was broken one month ago and diagnosed by specialists as non-repairable :-(
What I have now....
1. Operating system-Ok and all advertised applications do exist. Easy setup.
2. Remote control is responsive and convenient. I like YouTube and Netflix buttons.
3.No Bluetooth, but Wireless connectivity is Ok, easy 5 minutes setup.
4. 3 HDMI + 2 usb functional ports, satisfied with digital audio output.
5. Picture is good enough (for such money, of course), brightness could be better
6. TV was advertised as having HDR.... but not sure.
7. I still have 1.5 years of extended warranty!

Great tv! Even better price!
This was my first major purchase from Kogan so wasn't overly sure what to expect.
My TV was double boxed and packed really securely, so arrived in excellent condition.
Easy to set up and connect to WiFi etc.
The picture is absolutely stunning for something in this price range.
Remote and TV system is very responsive and fast.
Very impressed and will certainly be doing business with Kogan again.

Excellent TV
This TV was simple to setup. Its default settings for sound and colour are great needing no adjustment. The picture quality is very good and the sound is excellent.The remote is very robust and the TV is very responsive to it. While 3 HDMI ports is minimal one of them is an ARC which could be useful. It is not as smart as my previous Kogan TV in that apps cannot be added to the operating system so it lacks Stan and SBS for example. I particularly miss the lack of DLNA server
There is an extensive manual online but not the usual pdf which may be a problem when the model is superseded
Having said all that I am very pleased with the TV at an outstanding price.

Tricky buggers
Was so excited to get the TV up and running as I live in rural Vic and have super dodgy wifi.
The fine print in the ad does say that FREEVIEW is accessed via mirroring from another device. Wish I hadve noticed that before I purchased. Other than that the TV works well on Netflix and Youtube, however I can only access 8 DTV channels. Overall, quite disappointing. (groan)

Worst tv....EVER.
My reason for purchasing a new tv was my Samsung 50” Smart TV was showing white circles evenly spaced apart covering the whole screen. They weren’t too bad but thought I’ll see what was available.
I don’t normally believe they hype that some products and manufacturers try to spin.
I saw this tv in a email from Kogan. When I saw the price, under $500 I should’ve thought about it some more.
Ordered the tv from kogan.com on the 28th January 2022. I received a notification that it was shipped on the 30th January 2022.

ith a tracking number which I clicked on and bookmarked it to access it easily again. There were no scans till the 31st January 2022 advising me it was on its way. Tracking hadn’t updated on the carriers website.1 comment

This is a bad TV with quite a few issues
(I have had this TV for less than a month now, delivered on 28/12/2018)
First of all I will say the picture quality of this TV is very good for the price point, it certainly is better than my old Samsung TV, same can be said for the sound. I am sure if you compared it to a more expensive brand TV you would find flaw, but coming from and old 1080p TV it is better by far, especially if you give it a good quality 4K source. Also gaming on this TV is very good, very responsive compared to my old TV.
Having said that it was about a week before I ...Read more
started to notice the cracks appearing in this TV's quality. - Intermittently when I play any kind of game, through my Xbox or Computer with HDR enabled a thin bright white line will appear along the bottom of the TV at first taking up half the screen, but the longer I play the longer the line gets. The only way to get rid of the line is too turn off HDR and then turn it back on. - Issue number two, when playing any kind of video content over HDMI the screen will go black, there will still be sound, just no picture, the only way I have been able to get it back is to turn the TV source Free To Air TV and then back again. Also this problem is intermittent at the moment.Purchased in December 2021 at Kogan.com for $579.00.

After having trouble settling the sale conditions all worked out fine.
Smart TV, how satisfied are you with its operating system and apps, so far all is working up to my standard. The picture is brighter and more colorful, the reception is up to scratch. Value for what I paid I am totally happy. All I can say is do your comparative pricing and expect from Kogan's positive service if not contact them and it should be resolved in your favour. Delivery was better than I expected.

don' t buy it.
Poor picture and colour no matter what settings.
Disinterested replies from kogan which did not address my queries.
I just gave it away for use for games screen as I couldn't be bothered wasting my time arguing with kogan.
Don't buy a kogan TV !!!!!!
But a Samsung or Sony as I have now done.

Can apps be added to the tv? When we got it, we were under the assumption that they could, and have found no way to add them. We would like Disney + and Stan for our toddler. Thanks

Cannot add apps, they have another model with google play which you can. But unfortunately not this one. Only the ones preloaded.
