    $380 for a 55" 4K TV is pretty bloody good.

      you can get a soniq 4k smart tv for $399 with free delivery (prime) so i don't see how this is any better (unless they have significantly different quality panels or something)

        i have this TV. it is not smart TV just a built in chrome cast which is buggy as hell.

        • notYuna on 13/01/2020 - 13:40

          oh, well either way if you just compare it as a dumb tv you still save a bit with free delivery + cashback.

          built in chrome cast which is buggy as hell.

          I've got a Sony with the same problem.
          I added a Chromecast ultra. Works a treat.

        the Soniq has no HDR. Plus the quality is shit.

        • Jaduqimon on 13/01/2020 - 13:44

          yeh its pretty shit. 4K is not 100HZ "Fully compatible" its the bs soap opera effect and implemented badly.

          it only runs real 30hz at 4k

        • SKobb on 13/01/2020 - 13:50

          You won't have HDR worth using on a TV below $1500. Peak brightness falls well short of HDR standards and I'd guess this screen is edge lit anyway.
          Some people have told me there are slight benefits of purely being "compatible", but I can't remember what they were.

          • Frayin on 13/01/2020 - 13:59

            @SKobb: So the Hisense series with HDR that is regularly much cheaper than $1500, have bad HDR?

            • SKobb on 13/01/2020 - 15:27

              @Frayin: @Frayin Obviously that would exclude their OLEDs which have been crazy cheap the last few months.
              I had a look at their website and can't find any actual info on peak brightness, FALD, backlight tech for their R7 and R8 series so I'm unsure.

              • Frayin on 13/01/2020 - 17:09

                @SKobb: Okay no worries, thanks for the info!

  • TheHungryHippo on 13/01/2020 - 13:43

    This tv plus a android tv box, would recommend Vodafone TV and your sweet. It's got a game mode as well so should be fine with less input lag.

    • onlinepred on 13/01/2020 - 13:45

      Yea, it's incredibly slow to boot up, and really slow to do simple things like changing inputs/stations/pulling up guide etc. But if it doesn't phase you then decent for the price!

      • psnatch on 13/01/2020 - 19:31

        Do you know if this TV has a standby mode that's faster to wake from, or if it's "slow to boot up" every time?

        I have an old Soniq and it takes 30s to boot up. No standby mode. 30s to turn on every time. Never want to make that mistake again 😂

          I've looked and I can't see any setting. I would imagine if it existed it would be on by default. It's the slowest TV I've ever used. And the colours are terrible. I should have just bought a second hand set that's better quality.

          • psnatch on 13/01/2020 - 21:07

            @onlinepred: Good to know - I'll steer clear!!

            I was considering it because I've used a Kogan TV in a motel before and it was perfectly fine (turned on instantly, decent picture). It was a "smart" model, but I didn't expect this "dumb" model to be slower to turn on. They must just have standby on the "smart" ones or something =/

            Anyway, thanks for steering me away from it. Two slow TV's would drive me insane.

          • Tythefly86 on 14/01/2020 - 02:58

            @onlinepred: Thats what I told someone recently who said my tv was too expensive on gumtree. He compared my high end samsung 40" that cost 2k new with a kogan tv he could get brand new now.. I wish this thread was around last week. I tried to tell him that a 2grand 40" screen from about 6yrs ago is going to beat most budget tv's made today especially in features but he was having none of it lol.

      Can you please confirm if this one has an optical digital audio output? I need that as an option to connect to a soundbar.

          Thank you. Appreciate it. I just read the Kogan's page and it wasn't listed. Should have read the manual :)

        I have this TV (at least I’m pretty sure it’s the same one) and it DOES NOT have optical out, even though the manual says it does. It has an S-Video port where the manual says it has an optical out.

        • ozioziozi on 13/01/2020 - 19:40

      • elcheapoinoz on 13/01/2020 - 15:18

        yup, thats the $1000 question

      • Wickadz on 13/01/2020 - 15:21
        +1

        For 379 I can't complain. I don't have much experience with other TV's but it looks fine to me.
        Its a budget TV though - you will get better if you spend $1000…

        The only downside is the speakers, which most people have soundbars these days.

    • Duckman on 13/01/2020 - 15:03

      I am surprised that the price hasn't gone down in two years. I thought stuff like TVs dropped in price quite quickly as technology improves and everybody wants the latest and greatest thing. But I'm not an expert.

      • Wickadz on 13/01/2020 - 15:23

        I got it when they had a Christmas sale. I believe this is a slightly newer model (mine may be ju8100) - this model has the live TV pause rewind etc.

    • Geekomatic on 15/01/2020 - 01:25

      Can you confirm the other negatives talked about here? Like the slow startup, bad colours, etc?

    • shev07 on 13/01/2020 - 14:09

      it varies for all their tvs. Specs say AUO for this one

      • sfac on 13/01/2020 - 16:21

        Acer?

        • shev07 on 13/01/2020 - 16:43

          Not too sure but it does say AUO come about from merging with Acer. They do have panels in Acer monitors and some Samsung TVs it seems

  • Duckman on 13/01/2020 - 14:12

    Delivery to WA metro is $43.99 for those interested.

    • Geekomatic on 21/01/2020 - 22:37

      $103.99 to Mandurah, WA. What a bunch of sh*t. It's like Bunnings charging $90 to deliver something local & Ikea in Perth, over 100kms away, delivering for $70.

  • Geekomatic on 13/01/2020 - 15:04

    This is so cheap for the size & decent reviews.

    Only problem is the 60hz refresh. Are there any good ones with a slightly higher refresh? We'd be using it mainly for Chromecast/Youtube, PS3, & watching some movies occasionally from USB.

    Anyone here have this model who can speak to this?

    Ta!

    • Wickadz on 13/01/2020 - 15:28

      I only use mine for chromecast /ps4/laptop hdmi - thoroughly enjoy it for the budget price. Two years and still going strong!

      • MuddyClear on 13/01/2020 - 15:40

        You can expect another 2-3 years if you’re lucky.

        • Wickadz on 13/01/2020 - 15:59

          Wouldn't surprise me.

      Literally none of those things you just mentioned will use above 60fps (most being 24 or 30), so why is that a downside?
      Not saying it's an unimportant feature, just that nothing you said there would use it generally so im intrigued.

    • sickmate on 13/01/2020 - 16:11

      Note that most TV's don't support > 60Hz @ 4k anyway, even if the panel is 120Hz. You'd need to spend $$$ on a recent model Samsung or LG for that.

      The Hisense R7 has an interpolation rate of 120hz (but a true refresh rate of 60Hz). All time low of $654 back in November, currently going for $795. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/hisense-55r7-series-7-55-…

      For true 120Hz you'd need to look at something like the Samsung RU8000. All time low of $870.40 in November also, currently going for $1295. It does not support 120Hz @ 4k. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/samsung-series-8-ru8000-5…

      As far as I can see no Kogan TV's have 120hz panels at the moment.

  • pizzacracker on 13/01/2020 - 17:33

    I would like to use this TV to watch Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon prime. Does this TV have it built in or I have to buy chrome cast? Thanks!

    • aurum87 on 13/01/2020 - 18:34

      You'll need Chromecast or something similar to do this.

  • Bargain Fighter on 13/01/2020 - 17:37

    Do you know for this large size item, what delivery method will Kogan use?

    Also, my TV cabinet is only 100cm wide while the distance between legs of this one is 112.5cm, do you know if I can place the TV directly on my cabinet without attaching the legs? Thanks.

    • Buy2Much on 13/01/2020 - 17:56

      Even better, no legs…can be wall mounted!

    • aurum87 on 13/01/2020 - 18:35

      Not sure how you'd keep it upright without the legs… bit risky to just lean it against the wall imo.

      • Buy2Much on 13/01/2020 - 18:54

        VESA Mount Compatible.

  • v00d00 AU on 13/01/2020 - 18:41

      The Kogan First page says eligible products have the Kogan First logo. Unfortunately this TV doesn't have the logo. See this pillow for an example of what it looks like.

    Im looking for a 40-55 inch tv in the budget range that's going to have no motion blur, that's nice and bright and has a good response time when changing channels. Something I can watch the current crop of action movies without having to go back and rewatch scenes in slow-motion… I don't do much 4K but do want UHD resolution for sorting pics on my pc…
    There are some excellent comments here and I'm hoping someone can help me.

    • toliman on 15/01/2020 - 07:48

      Netflix capable, with 4k is easy.
      Kayo/Stan/Disney+ is not as simple.

      Clear action and motion is going to be better on a QLED, but that'd be a large bump in price for contrast and HDR.

      A decent Tuner is going to be expensive, because it bumps up the price and specs to get a TV that works quickly and changes channels requires a faster processor. The hardware might be good, but the software to get Australian Support might not exist, ie getting channel 9 HD audio (AC3) to work is a common glitch with cheap TV's.

      I would probably recommend Samsung over Hisense if you need TV and sport as a priority. Sony, LG as well. Hisense is capable, but it needs to be demonstrated/ seen in person to know where & what the difference(s) are.

      But UHD res for photos, do you want to run this as a monitor or as a slideshow / chromecast?

      If you can demo/try the hisense, or look for a review to see how fast the channel changes are, this is somewhat typical of the Chinese OEM TV's like the Kogan.

  • Geekomatic on 17/01/2020 - 03:16

    Still wondering. The "seems too good to be true" keeps popping up. We only watch occasional USB TV or Chromecast. Have a MMC PC but really we're nerds locked in our chairs- lol.

    Is it good or trash?
