    That just leads to a page saying 55" 4K TV Today Show Offer but with no offer even on it. And the link from it only leads to deals for the 43" and 50". No 55" on it.

    Edit: some body since updated the post with the correct link. Thanks.

    • scrimshaw on 07/04/2018 - 13:40

      If using Adblock, it prevents the banner from being shown.

      Also note: this TV does not have Chromecast — Kogan was shipping this TV several weeks ago with a bonus Chromecast at a lower price.

      • hollykryten on 07/04/2018 - 14:11

        No ad blocker being used here.

      • hollykryten on 07/04/2018 - 14:13

        For me that shows no ability to even buy the TV from that link. It's not on there.

          Seems to be browser related then. It does not show in Firefox (Cyberfox), but works in Chrome or Edge.

        • hollykryten on 07/04/2018 - 14:30

          @scrimshaw:

          Oh yeah dammit it doesn't work in Firefox but is working in Edge. Browser related to Firefox for sure.

    I would personally wait for their new set of TVs which come with HDR, Freeview Plus and a Smart OS installed:

          It's a new model due to be released on 15th of May.

      Saw this deal a few weeks back but never bothered to post. As its just a low end TV and missing alot of features that make it true UHD 4k and not just a TV that can display 4k resolution. So you waon't get the full 4k experience with this TV. Especially without HDR/HDR-10, Game mode etc. Plus it only has one tuner so your either recording or watching the same channel. No record one channel whilst watching another.

      Also correct about Firefox not displaying the like correctly. Edge works correctly.

    • jasswolf on 07/04/2018 - 17:19

      With an Innolux 120Hz panel? Why?

      • desync on 08/04/2018 - 12:27

        is innolux that bad?

        • jasswolf on 08/04/2018 - 12:41

          Generally referred to as a third tier panel, which is not great when the TV nudges the 2nd tier price range.

          Likely a VA LCD panel too, so consider the difference between that and IPS when deciding.

  • syousef on 07/04/2018 - 14:35

    How do we know if this would be any good for games without knowing response time? Does it have a gaming mode?

    There's an Agora Smart TV version for $30 more but no free shipping and one less HDMI.

        Looks decent isn’t the same thing as response time. What’s the response time like?

        • paul09 on 08/04/2018 - 08:29
          +2

          If you actually care about response time, picture quality etc you need to ask someone whose opinion you trust or see for yourself. A mate of mine has a 4K Kogan, he reckons it’s great meanwhile I find the gaming abilities and color reproduction to be terrible. Most of the population seem to have no eye for quality when it comes to TVs and just blindly following marketing speak about 4K and 200hz and blah blah. The specs can help but even they don’t always tell the whole story.

        • Danstar on 08/04/2018 - 10:54

          Sorry I couldn’t tell you that. I just looked at my kids playing it, I didn’t pay that much attention to response time

    • desync on 08/04/2018 - 12:18

      the response time is right there under specifications, jebus

      its 6ms which is good enough for gaming

    standard comment-

    buy a $50 off $120 purchase from ozb classifieds for ~$10.
    create a new kogan account (via referral) for $10 credit (offset voucher cost)

    TV = $469 delivered

    • CVonC on 07/04/2018 - 14:51

      & discounted kogan giftcards too :)

    • OGnelz on 07/04/2018 - 19:10

      Thanks for the heads up, just managed to get the TV for $449 delivered with the above method! I also had a $20 "haven't seen you in a while" code so the total discount was $70.

    Would be great to know how many generations old the panels are if they are indeed samsung branded.

    • syousef on 07/04/2018 - 21:36

      Would be good to compare to the much hyped HiSense N7. Anyone know what would be the notable differences?

    • cnut on 07/04/2018 - 22:47
      +3

      Samsung branded means jack. All panel manufacturers grade their panels. Highest QA goes into premium models, lower QA into their standard ones and the rest they sell off to third party manufacturers of cheap TVs. They do sell high grade ones, but this isn’t one of them.

      Every Kogan TV I’ve seen has had bad panels with pretty apparent bleeding and other issues. You get what you pay for.

  • dsp26 on 07/04/2018 - 19:31

    Not sure if the Agora version has the same panel (read elsewhere it may have been LG), but got that one for $499 on pre order deal in feb minus Kogan $50 voucher.. all up $449 for a fantastic netflix TV with zero LED bleed on the panel.

    Can you stack vouchers?
    Can they call you 30 min before delivery?
    How do they deliver if you are not home?
    50" or 55"? Any difference other than size?

    BUYER BEWARE

    I have one of these. And I'm almost at the point of paying someone to take it off my hands.

    It takes about 20-30 seconds to turn on, always boots into this 'home' screen which is a reduced screen with apps around it. You click 'full screen' and it takes another 5-10 seconds to go full screen. Often the HDMI you are on will jump during this process. The remote sensor is under the TV, if you're at anything more than about 5 degrees above the base of the TV, the remote won't work (you can see it bottom right in the pictures, and it the side on view shows how it is set back about 15mm from the front lip, terrible design).

    These aren't small 'user preference' issues, TVs have been turning on in <3 seconds for years, this is a 10 fold backtrack. Remotes typically work at 175 degree angles, this is a 100 fold backtrack.

    • PVR – pause, record and rewind live TV - I would almost argue that it doesn't actually have this feature, it's atrocious and I challenge anyone to demonstrate that they actually use it inline with what your average punter would expect from this feature. If you record shows, prepare for one long list of "my_kitchen_rules_tuesday_10_04_2018.avi" to scroll through.
    • almost all apps don't work, it seems to fail to play 60% of youtube clips, codec issue? who knows.

    We get by using it as nothing more than a screen (use external PVR and chromecast for all viewing), and at >$500 for a screen that takes donkeys to turn on and is difficult to control, it's a rip.

    YMMV DYOR DONTBUYTHISPRODUCT ETC

    • gromit on 08/04/2018 - 12:12

      Sounds even worse than the PoS that Aldi were flogging. My brother brought one of them and it is so painfully slow and the sound so awful that you really must buy an external PVR/Tuner and speakers to make it even acceptable. I don't get why they have to be so incredibly cheap ass on the such essential components, $10 extra in parts would allow a massive increase in quality.

    • desync on 08/04/2018 - 12:17

      i use a cheap chinese tablet as a home theatre pc so thats all im after, a decent panel

      use to use an android box but that OS is too limiting

    • Gracey on 08/04/2018 - 12:37

      Are these issues the same with the 65” variant of this model?

    • AlienC on 16/04/2018 - 00:12

      So are you selling? I am looking for the cheapest half decent panel over 40" that can do 4k and gaming.

      Located in Katoomba NSW.

      Will be only console gaming for now and some old school retro pc gaming (think everything before 2005)

      • nzcoops on 16/04/2018 - 10:40

        I would yup, but I'm in WA so not worth it for either of us sorry mate.

  • desync on 08/04/2018 - 12:32

    maybe it's time to finally upgrade the 1080p benq projector

    hmmmmmmmmm

    • bobzor on 08/04/2018 - 21:47

      To a 4k LED projector!

      • desync on 12/04/2018 - 05:18

        i am not sure led projectors are any good, maybe the tech has improved since i last looked, lamps are usually around $60 and last 3-6k hours plus if its is DLP projector a new lamp = same image as new

        at any rate i can't see myself giving up a +120" screen for a 55" lcd so no upgrade for me yet, wouldn't mind a 4k projector but they have to come down to 1k before i'd be interested

  • [Deactivated] on 08/04/2018 - 12:49

    Only a one year warranty is ridiculous for a 55" TV and most likely breaches ACL. Expected lifetime of a TV should be at least 3 years…

    • Shiny Mew on 09/04/2018 - 20:18

      I would like to say 5 years. The statutory guarantees and their attendant remedies override to the extent of inconsistency any terms of a consumer contract, but outside the warranty period the more ethically challenged companies do tend to pretend that the ACL doesn't exist.

  • djmm on 08/04/2018 - 14:04

    Looks like Kogan managed to get their hands on B grade LG panels and whack them in to a budget frame with shitty processing and software and flog this on morning tv. Target market probably unemployed Centrelink bludgers who tune in to channel 9 infotainment.

  • AlienC on 21/04/2018 - 01:28

    Deciding between this or a JVC 55" 4k tv for about the same price maybe slightly more.. hmm
