I was going to buy a Kogan last year, but read how a lot of people were having warranty trouble with Kogan.
As luck would have it, I ended up buying one of the RV TV's (RV Media brand I think) when Carac had a pop up shop sale of all disontinued stuff at a bloody good price. Got to say it is brilliant picture quality. Also accepts USB, DVD & Bluray. Absolute bargain.

More than happy with Kogan . Yes the sound is not perfect . But they are ALL like that ! Even our 62ā one at home . If your into sound quality ? Get a sound bar or connect to stereo . We have purchased 28ā with DVD . Fits better in area than smaller TV which still works .

We bought a Sphere Onyx S2. Great sound and has all the Bells and Whistles you need. Even has 2 HDMI ports which was good for us.

Sphere carked it so we got a bigger with better picture quality that only uses 1/2 the power, a Kogan.

We have a Kogan in the van, have had it for about 4 years and have been very happy with it.

Can anyone suggest a good source to buy one around Brisbane/Sunshine coast?
My old analog Vivid (with Sonic box) plugged into inverter has just died. Need it fixed or replaced quickly.
I do also have a spare 12v socket handy.
Any recommendations/suggestions??

We're getting a 24" fhd kogan 12v , $164 delivered , jbhifi and gg's have hisense and tcl's with 3yr warrantys , good budget tv's with good hd picture quality .... otherwise go up a notch to Samsung etc fhd smart tv's at double the price ( 32" ) non are 12v as far as l know , so you'll need an inverter

I have bought stuff from this company and when I needed to return a faulty item they refunded with no problems. The fault was the article not them. They were great to deal with and the prices are OK
Coincidentally they sent me a sales ad this morning with a 12/240 Volt TV. I don't know if the price is competitive though.

Got our 24" Kogan yesterday and gave it a quick run last night in the van , as expected the standard sound was tinny , so into the menu and adjust it ...better, not great , but much much better "...... picture wise it's really quite good , we were running a 27" hi res pc monitor with a set top box , media player and 5.1 amp for sound ..... great set up but took up room and we had to shed some weight as we upped the battery storage for a big trip soon ..... the new tv is very light , we got rid of 20 odd kg roughly

Itās the way all these TVās are made . Ours is connected through stereo with remote control. Did the same with our home TV . Once itās done this way and our hearing isnāt getting better . Itās hard to listen to standard type sound now !! At the back . We went smart TV with 300 watt inverter .. To my surprise is hardly uses any more battery than the old 12v TV . Just the initial cost of extra inverter. Nice . Can charge phones etc off it . We use the hard drive from recorded movies .

I've got a 24" Kogan I bought 4 years ago. It had a power supply failure after 15 months so I contacted Kogan to see if they could suggest a fix. I was going to fix it myself if possible as unit was outside warranty.
Kogan emailed back saying they would fix it free of charge and pay shipping to them and back which they did. I had it back in 10 days and it has run perfectly since. Would I recommend Kogan? I certainly would.
