as our led tv is about to pass away we have decieded we need to get a new one. I think I remember seeing good comments about Kogan tv's. Does anyone have comments to share about these tv's.

We were talking to the owner of a caravan park that we stayed at recently & he was telling us about some interesting cooking methods in the camp kitchen, he wasn't impressed.
