Disappointing
Series 8 MU8010 (55")Sound and colour is very average
Have continued to play around and setup on many different
without any luck.
Freeview replays etc are very blurry even though internet is good quality.
and I have no issues with my other Smart TV.
I quess you get what you pay for.
Great TV
Series 8 MU8010 (55")Great TV for price. My first 4k TV so it took a bit of fiddling with settings to turn the 4k on and get set up, but otherwise pretty user friendly.
Only downside is the terrible sound quality. Sound has too much Bass and can distort and the upper levels are tinny. Purchased a decent soundbar and now I have no issues whatsoever. Great TV but definitely have or plan to get a soundbar or other sound system.

This TV has been great for the price
Series 8 MU8010 (55")- Sound wasn't very good but when you're buying a 55+ inch TV you do go and buy a sound system also
- HDR feature was detected by my PS4 and games look great
- Slow operating system for freeview and youtube but I use Apple TV anyway.
- 6 star energy rating for 55 inch which is rare for a TV that size as most are 4.5 to 5 stars only.
- 6 months ago I was very happy with my purchase price at the time from Kogan of $550 including delivery. I see it's currently at $759 plus delivery on Kogan and I think that's overpriced (for the 55 inch model)
Wish I read these reviews before purchasing.
Series 8 MU8010 (55")On the main page of the website I purchased from, all reviews had 4+ stars which I now believe to be fake. I bought this tv on Black Friday thinking to get a cheap deal. I bought this 4K HDR TV specifically for gaming which I’ve just tried doing for 30 minutes+ on my Xbox one X. Was extremely excited until I found out it didn’t work and now have wasted $500 for nothing. This is false advertising at its finest. This is a 1080p TV.
I will continue to try 4K with other applications.

Not great
Series 8 MU8010 (55")I wasn't expecting much when i bought this.
Firstly i bought this mainly to use with my computer setup, at 1080p thru hdmi i could not turn off the overscan which meant i could only see half of my taskbar on Microsoft Windows which made navigation fairly difficult but the image scaled properly in 4k (3840×2160).
When connected to my pc the colors were pretty good but watching tv thru the inbuilt tuner the color felt very bland.
When it came to gaming thru a pc make sure you go into the tv settings and change the hdmi settings from 2k to
... Read more4k to unlock the 4k 60hz otherwise it will be stuck on 30hz which would only give 30fps, the input lag wasn't too bad as I've seen some TVs make games very difficult to play, this was in acceptable limits. The 9ms response time on led pixels could be a bit better as fast motion images can tend to look a bit blurry. Now when it comes to HDR this feature is 100% useless, once turned on the image becomes absolutely disgusting. It looks like the image is almost polarized, the whites become a dark grey and the dark areas become bright grey, it just becomes a grey mess with some faded colors thrown in. Audio quality was a little better than expected, not as tinny as i thought it would be so I'd say it's acceptable for the price.
Washed out colour terrible sound
Series 8 MU8010 (55")Pretty underwhelmed. First 4K tv and the colours are very washed out. Spent all day trying to get the contrast, brightness, colour sorted and still looks below average. Even on 100% colour still very dull.
The speakers sound tinny and are actually annoying to listen to.
The smart tv option was sold as being able to watch on demand tv. The only on demand that works is abc and sbs. 7, 9 and 10 don't work.
I own other older Kogan tv's which were great. Unfortunately not happy with this one.
