Horrible Horrible TV – Picture quality is horrible Sound is better on my old iPhone 4 Remote died almost immediately - been living without one but now the power on button on the TV takes about 10 times before it turns on. Was recommended and sent a new remote but it's not compatible. Was told to update firmware for a better image but the original remote is needed so it can't be done. My advice - never buy anything from Kogan or Dick Smith.

Best thing I've bought this year! – A great TV - especially with the inclusion of the Chromecast which makes the TV is compatible with Netflix and other viewing apps. The TV connects well with our Google Home meaning that we are able to be extremely lazy & control the TV with our voices from bed - barely have to touch the remote at all! The picture is clear & the sound is fantastic. For A cheap TV I would highly recommend.

Good Led for bedroom – I am a new international student and recently move to here in Melbourne and so couldn't afford expensive brands. I select Kogan brand after two of online research from YouTube and forums. They provide high resolution in cheap and there are a lot of connectivity options available for it. It is good for a bedroom.  Show details

Awful – Awful. Bought this in October 2018. Played Netflix for the first month then stopped. Netflix no longer support this TV apparently. Now, nothing works- can't cast from mobile phone via YouTube, Stan, ABC iPlayer etc. Nothing works. Contacted customer service, completely useless and unresponsive. Don't waste your money on this. Show details

Regretful purchase – This TV doesn't do what is accepted requirement of a Smart TV. The Netflix App does not work, when removed so I can re-install, Google App Store does not show a Netflix app to download. The suggested Airpin Pro Google app does not connect either. Chromecast which is inbuilt does not allow google home to play netflix on it This TV has an android… Read more

operating system, but cannot accept many important apps, for example, Netflix which is the main reason I bought this TV for, it’s really useless to me. I have also noticed that TV looses the ability to detect a wireless connection unless it is unplugged from the power source and rebooted, then it will reconnect to the wireless connection.

description or sample - The advertisement says it supports abc iview, it doesn't, advertisements from respected computer articles suggest that Netflix works on this tv, but it doesn't. (PC World on 3rd April 2018) Products will be fit for purpose - Although this TV has an android operating system, the operating system cannot accept many important apps, for example, Netflix, abc iview, designed for that operating system Repairs and spare parts - I have asked Kogan to update the operating system to allow for the important apps eg. Netflix but they are unwilling.

Product does not do what it is advertised as – Unable to download apps, despite advertising that it does it. Netflix does not display users, there is no way of selecting a particular show/movie. Many attempts contacting have resulted in no help. On one occasion the response referred to fixing a mobile phone. Very dissatisfied. I would advise others not to buy from Kogan.  Show details

Dirty deals done dirty – Arrived broken, lost way more time getting mucked around by so called customer service. Claims to be an Australian company. I doubt it, definitely inferior Chinese or Korean products. Way to get a great reputation Kogan, shame on you! Still no refund after 9 months !!!!! I doubt there ever will be.  Show details

Worst TVs do not buy as they die after 20 months – I wouldn’t buy another Kogan tv again First when I had the tv it wouldn’t work properly with the Netflix Secondly, making a strange beep sound for the past 4 months Thirdly, it now has no picture just a black screen when you turn it on and it’s only 20 months old It may be cheap to buy but costing you more money in the long run having to replace it after the warranty expires biggest heap of crap going  Show details

Thanks for nothing Kogan for my slow dumb TV – We have good wi fi here at home, but the Agora TV is too slow to stream a movie - takes forever to load. I'm wondering if I buy an Apple TV 4th Gen to stream I might be able to stream movies?? It does however work quite well as a conventional TV - Picture and sound are fine. It just isn't smart.  Show details

Worst piece of technology I’ve ever bought – This TV makes the Nokia 3310 look like cutting edge technology, it has wifi connection and can link to the APP store yet you need to download software to a USB and by some miracle be able to upload it to the TV. It has no access to Stan, Netflix has been blocked since my last upgrade. It lags all the time, freezes and makes you “Force stop” to be… Read more

able to refresh a session in an APP. It really is the most un-smart “Smart TV” i’ve ever seen.

To make matters worse Kogan don’t even offer technical support over the phone, you have to write them an email and they either call you back a few days later or just send you an email with links to their website.

These TV’s are cheap for a reason, don’t buy into these products they are just a waste of time and money.

Biggest piece of rubbish I’ve ever bought – For a smart tv this one is pretty dumb! Could not access internet and watch a movie without it crashing. After 2 1/2 years the whole tv has stopped working. Email instructions from Kogan on how to fix it very difficult to follow if you aren’t a computer expert. Don’t buy a Kogan tv.

Amazing colours, great definition and a great price!! – Tv is a great size for a familia room, colours are intense, definition is great and easy to set up, manual is user friendly and the people at JB hi-fi Claremont helped with all my questions, also helped with useful hints on how to set it up by myself. I added the blu-ray/dvd player to the set and it works wonderful, (not a fan of Netflix) the image is sharp and clean for a fantastic affordable price.  Show details

Will never buy another Kogan product – Like others, also bought this to use in the bedroom. Takes a very long time to boot up/turn on. Advertised as Netflix compatible, but is not. Constantly loses tuning and is unbelievably slow in responding to remote. Tonight again half the channels are not tuning properly. We can barely use this TV.

Need to clear cache frequently. Remote is good with keyboard. I tried to return it but thats also a very confusing process in itself.… Read more

Need to click a lots of pics and need to pay return postage also.If your usage with tv is not high then think about buying this product.

I tried to connect Netflix or even Youtube, but nothing is working. I tried to refresh, reset and followed all the instructions I found online to try to fix it, but nothing worked. I decided to return now.

No app is available for android version 4 also
