Kogan Agora Smart 4K LED Series

Poor Resolution – Disappointed with the resolution of this TV. Advertised as a 4K TV when in fact my 12 year old plasma TV it replaced had better resolution - Not Happy. I have tried all different settings and used Netflix as well and it really is below what would be expected. Nor Great !!  Show details

This is a DUMB TV!! Do not purchase it. Infact.... do not purchase any KOGAN ever! – 1) Sound is TERRIBLE - must be connected to a sound system. 2) Cables are all non-standard and had to spend extra money purchasing weird cables, adapters and converter boxes. 3) DUMB, not smart - had to purchase a Google TV addition to be able to watch digital TV properly, streaming servies and connect/cast any separate devices as the inbuilt apps… Read more

CONSTANTLY CRASH, never upgrade and online / wireless access is a nightmare. Or you can purchase EVEN MORE cables and adapters to patch your devices directly to the TV but seriously, too much work. 4) This really is a [Content Removed] TV. Dont bother.

Really happy with this – This Kogan TV was my first purchase of Kogan products. I have to say I am really pleased with TV, the display is exceptional and the TV is an absolute value for money. I don’t think you can buy a TV of this quality with such a wonderful display for the price they are selling them at. Highly recommended and glad a friend recommended this brand to me otherwise I would have had to pay $400-500 more for the exact thing somewhere else Show details

Pretty good for $600 – Good panel able to run 4k games at 25hz 1080p at 60hz higher refresh rate would be better but it was only $600 I dont use this for the smart option cause is pretty bad and will lag it out just plug in a pc and it will be fine, has a game mode if you dig through menu options Show details

Beware - Unreliable product, poor warranty and even worse Kogan Support – If you buy anything that requires support from Kogan you are insane. Kogan goes out of its way to avoid contact. My TV started turning itself off. I did a factory reset and now it wont turn on. Kogan suggested a power reset and asked me to send a video of the problem. WTH A video of the tv not turning on must really help solve the not turning on issue Seriously - this is support Dont but anything from kogan that requires support

Absolute POS Waste of Money. TERRIBLE TV – This is the worst excuse for a "Smart TV" I have possibly ever seen. Netflix not on the TV as advertised. You have to download it on PC then upload to the tv and even then its VERY OLD version of Netflix. not even worth watching, the picture is crap aswell, can't see how this is a 4K TV. I actually wouldn't even sell it on marketplace or gumtree… Read more

etc as I wouldn't want to burden anyone with it. Can say with confidence that this is the most EXPENSIVE paper weight I own.

Not worth the money – This TV is a massive disappointment. The screen is Ok and not the main issue, the issue is the absolutely hopeless "smart" interface, the version of android is useless and cumbersome to use. Most apps are not compatible and those that are can not offer the full 4K resolution. NetFlix and YouTube will not run in 4k Mode as the apps are out dated and the android system is old and out dated, ALL this when new out of the BOX!!!!

Digital TV has sound but no picture – Digital TV has sound but no picture, android works with picture no problem. I restored picture to factory default and the picture has come back. 2 days without picture as Kogan is going to help, useless problem solving menu, they always put onus on customer. Next time try HISense cheap and no problems after 2 years. My Kogan is only 5 months old. Joe Show details

Disappointed with the sound quality, remote, air mouse, android system – I don't recommend this model at all due to the following reasons. - very bad audio quality - air mouse feature stopped working and remote could not paired with the bluetooth after few months of use - could not install Netflix or even any other apps other than the default apps that comes with the android system. - even after installing the android system from the Kogan site, none of the above issues were sorted Show details

A lemon – I have tried with great difficulty to download Netlix. I finally achieved some form of it , but very difficult to navigate. Kogan should never have retailed this TV. Complete Lemon

Rubbish tv – Purchased may 2019 and no longer works. Remote is rubbish. TV is slow to turn on and slowto respond. Will not being purchasing any further products from this company in the future Show details

Piece of crap – This tv is standard cheap Kogan, never again will I buy from this store. Mine lasted the standard 18 months and took me 2 weeks to get Netflix on, which at the time I thought a major accomplishment. Don’t buy Kogan, crap. Show details

Kogan 55" Agora Smart 4K LED TV (Series 8 LU 8010) – This TV has a great image quality however it takes a very long time to load and is very slow to turn on and change channels. It is very frustrating.

Absolute rubbish – Bought one of these Kogan TV's found it difficult to use, lasted 13 months then stopped working, requires updates that no one can seem to find and use, technical support seems impossible. Definitely would not recommend this TV, apart from being difficult to use, sound and picture quality are sub standard, remote is also very confusing and… Read more

difficult to use, lots of unnecessary buttons that don't do anything, TV takes ages to load and the apps seem to crash, was easier to just plug in a chrome cast than use the apps on the TV, waiting for a response from Kogan is looking like a big waste of time so I guess I'll count my losses and just go to the good guys and but a Samsung, which is what I should done from the start, trying to save a few dollars has cost me a lot more, buyer beware is all I can say.

Kogan = defective products & hopeless service – Kogan completely hopeless product and support. Product lost sound and took 2 months for service to attend to it. Now TV has shut down and will not respond to remote I would not use Kogan to purchase any item. Show details

Foxtel IQ4 4K not compatable with this set – I recently upgraded my IQ3 box to IQ4 and cannot access the 444 channel...DCP needs to be 2.2x not 1.1x as recognized by the Fox4 Box. Kogan no help in resolving this...they say it’s DCP 2.2 compliant but no help on how to change to that setting. Show details

Many problems. Regretful purchase – Have had many problems from the start. 1. This TV boots up to a menu screen and no option to disable this. 2. CEC Function function causes the TV to freeze up completely and reboot. 3. Frequently loses time/sync. 4. The Smart features do not work. No Netflix or any other apps can be run through the operating system. 5. Will frequently come up with… Read more

error "TV has stopped" whilst watching TV. 6. Speed and menu navigation is clunky and slow. 7. Picture quality is 'patchy' in that there have always been visible washed out areas on the display. 8. Not able to adjust colour range properly in 'DTV' input. People appear much pink/redder than they should.

The worst buy ever – We bought the tv in May 2018. It worked fine until December 2018 where when we switched on the tv one day only the Kogan sign appears on tv and nothing else comes up on the screen. When we inserted a DVD only the sound if the vedios come and the Kogan sign on the screen. Nothing else. We have tried everything we know .A month after our complaint… Read more

and after consumer affairs followed up on this matter they responded. Although Kogan said to upgrade the firmware manually which was a cumbersome and ridiculous process it still didn't work. I am still waiting for them to process a refund having waited without a tv for nearly 2 months. The firmware upgrade has to be done manually by taking down wall mounted tv and inserting a usb drive at the back of the tv. Ridiculous. And it still didn't work. The worst buy ever.

Terrible waste of money – Terrible tv. Very hard to move around and it just didn't respond. Would love to throw it away if it weren't mounted. Feel like smashing it in for all the time wasted on it. Operating system is useless.what's the point you'd all the apps yang features when it doesn't work half the time. Very dissatisfied with it.  Show details

Screen failed less than 12 months since purchasing – I received the TV in February 2018. Less than 12 months, the screen exhibits a black vertical line across the screen. Apart for this, I was pretty happy with the TV. The image is acceptable. The boot time is pretty slow, but it is understandable for a low price TV. I sometimes use it to watch DVD's and it's working as expected. Although it is a… Read more

smart TV, I don't use this feature. There is no link to the product, because Kogan continuously change the product models. Less than one year since pre-release, the product is now discontinued (the 65" version is still available). This is the third TV purchased from Kogan where the LCD display failed in less than 3 years, and based on my previous experience, I purchased extended 5 years warranty. I would give it more than 2 stars, if the screen didn't fail.

Waste of money and TV does not work after 1 year – Got this TV nov 2017 with extended warranty of 3 years now the tv switch off automatically with a error on screen and remote had issues from day one of the TV being opened does not work as a smart tv remote and its very hard to use the remote as the IR has top be in line when you wanna switchon/off have contacted kogan via email an still no… Read more

WASTE MONEY AND KOGAN TV IS VERY BAD QUALITY

Amazing Product! – This is the best TV i have ever owned, the screen quality is fantastic! The capabilities with the apps and remote and amazing! only things i would say need improving is sound quality, having a optic audio cable option and 1 more HDMI pots (only has 3). Other than that i absolutely love this product.  Show details

Value for money – After 2 years its still going good. However I have never been able to get Netflix to work on the tv. Says required external storage. Not very explanatory with how to get it going. Picture and operating is otherwise good. There was one issue where the loading screen kept flashing in a cycle after it was turned off for a few days ran as good as new. Probably shouldn't have to do that through.  Show details

Locked/frozen Kogan screen emblem – After a year of service machine locked up and contacted Dick Smith and Kogan even though have extra warranty can't get any help. Keep getting stacks of firmware numbers which dont apply. Very poor after sales service and now going to have to complain even though purchases extended warranty very annoying  Show details

Wasting Money & Time – It does sound that you had for yourself a bargain when you bought it at $580 a 55” Smart TV , but wait till you receive the TV and you’ll be shocked that TV of the 1980’s has better features and more solid It takes ages to load (alot longer than any other brands) Lots of buttons on remote control are just useless and has no function It keeps… Read more

on booting you out

Eventually after few months , it stops working

When you try to contact support , no numbers provided , and when you send an email , no one contact you ever

BUYER BEWARE-WHAT YOU PAY FOR IS WHAT YOU GET!! – Firstly after setting up my Kogan 49” KU8000 TV I noticed how lifeless the colours were, tried resetting it, helped a bit. The sound was also very tinny, so could only watch with a sound bar. Then 16 months after purchasing the TV there’s a large clap sound and it goes completely dead. I took it to a repaire shop, there they showed me that it had… Read more

blown up, due to a power surge. Of course the unit was out of warranty and even had I tried to complain they would of denied my claim even though I have a 1830 joules power protector and nothing else blew up connected to that power board.

Replaced it with a Hisense, so happy now, picture and sound quality amazing.
