Nearly 4 years ago we set out on a mission to “make technology more affordable for all Australians” – we’ve never looked back! We are always looking for ways to improve our business and make the latest technology more affordable!
Kogan is becoming a household name in Australia and we are in the process of expanding to the USA. Kogan keeps growing and so does our buying power - This means we can keep dropping our prices. For example, we’ve just dropped the price of the 10” Kogan Agora Netbook to $399 – that’s gonna send shockwaves through the marketplace!.
Other prices we've smashed include:
Kogan 1080P22 Full HD LCD TV - $399
- How are our prices? Are these the best prices you can find in Australia?
- As a consumer of electronics, what do you think of sales and the current prices in the electronics market?
- If there were three products out there you would like to see come down in price, what would they be?
This sale will run from (AEST) 12.01pm 28th July to 3pm Friday 31 July 2009 (or while stocks last).
Cheers,
Ruslan

Hear what our customer's have to say.

I still think that digital photo frames in general are overpriced for their capabilities. Compare a 10" netbook for $399 versus a 12" photo frame for $129 that does nothing else besides display photos and videos.

..but I think you'll find one of the most expensive components of a netbook is the LCD panel. Compared to the prices I've seen in stores $129 is pretty cheap for a 12" photo frame. Especially given that we bought a crappy little 6" one for twice that price a few years back :(

brilliant man, i think you will definetly smash the competition now, by the way just saw your new revised full HD tv's (32-42" size) and it comes with 120Hz, is this supposed to be right since 120Hz (double 60Hz frame rate) is usually for the US/europe markets since they have 60Hz power outlets and for the australian market it's supposed to be 100Hz (double 50Hz frame rate) since we have 50Hz power outlets here??

I have recently bought the 1080p 47" T.V from Kogan, recevied the T.V last week and i'm very pleased with the product that i have purchased, the picture quality is truey amazing and the screen size is fanastic, i am very happy with my purchase and the price i paid. Great job Kogan will be letting all my friends know, what a great buy this T.V is, thanks once again and good luck in the future.

If the photo frames weren't 4:3 and supported streaming from computers I'd snaffle one in a second. :)

I have just pre-purchased a LCD TV and find that Kogan prices are the best by far, and I did a lot of research.
My only gripe would be the cost of delivery and the use of couriers, because they don't deliver to where I live - Kogan,Qld. I then have to make a round trip of 100Km to recover the item and this has already cost me $43.62 for the delivery.
The same item sent by Australia Post , delivered to my door would cost - Express Post $28.80 or normal post $11.60, even with packing and handling charges it should still be less expensive and more convenient, particularly for customers in remote areas.
Worth thinking about Kogan?

Thanks for your post Rik. The 120Hz refers to the refresh rate, rather than having to do with the power outlets.
In simplified terms, the refresh rate refers to how many times the actual television screen image is completely reconstructed every second. The more times the screen is refreshed, the smoother the image becomes.
In the case of the new Kogan Full HD televisions as you asked, the 120 Hz is simply a better and faster refresh rate.
Here is a more comprehensive article that you might want to take a look at for more info: http://hometheater.about.com/od/televisionbasics/qt/frame...
Alan, these will be the only products on special this week...

When do you see the Kogan Blue Ray machine having a WiFi as standard for your machines? Do you see it on your machines before Christmas?

re: refresh vs frame rates, what I've come to understand is that refresh rates usually refer to the limits of the lcd screen's capabilities, eg. 120Hz = 120 full pictures can be reconstructed per second, whereas frame rates are usually talking about the data being sent to the tv, eg. a blueray player sending either 24fps or 60fps.
There is a lot of misunderstanding on this issue, and a lot of it is undoubtable intentional. A 200Hz Bravia is completely pointless if most Blueray discs can only play at 60fps... I hate those Bravia adds where they show the image of the soccer player in a flickering frame, that is how CRTs work but NOT LCDs.

Hi Ray,
We're always looking into the latest technology and I definitely think that making devices wifi enabled is a way of the future. For Blu-Ray players, we are watching the developments of BD Live and Internet Enabled widgets....as soon as Wifi technology in Blu-Ray players is cost effective for the mass markets, you'll be sure to see a Kogan product smashing the competition on price.
All the best,
Ruslan

Hey, I don't think you guys are living up to your direct-sales-cheap-prices ethos right now. I just bought a vivo 32" 1080p panel from Dick Smith for $666. I actually paid $630 for the display model. OK, its a special, but its nearly $200 cheaper than your model and Dick Smith is a retailer with shop fronts etc... What's happening? I reckon you are likely to say that the tech inside your 32" full HD panel is better but $200 better at this price point and without the benefits of shopfronts etc?
I have thought for a while that your netbooks are too expensive also - the "pro" model was almost exactly the same price as an Asus 1000h Umart or MSY recently! Why buy a Kogan when you could have a recognised brand from a retailer with shopfronts?
I am writing this because, as stated previously, I have been keen to see you guys succeed ever since those 24" panels started showing up on Ebay from some unheard of brand called Kogan. I reckon however that for the last 4 to 8 months you have been fully cashing in rather than consolidating your market base. If you want to get in, make some dosh and then get out fair enough. And if you are doing the old-school loss leaders + profit maker strategy also fair enough. But I reckon there is the potential with your model for you to become a big player and to get people coming back year after year. That means no nasty suprises for people after purchase - ie - seeing something elsewhere cheaper. For this reason, I think it critical that you get back to your ridiculously cheap but good roots. I don't think there should be a single line that anyone can get close to for price. I would have spent $1200 on Kogan gear in recent months but in one case you were the same price for an inferior product (the netbook) and in the other you were 27% dearer on a 32" TV that may or may not be better. Not good. Haven't tried blue ray yet but as a gaming monitor and work desktop the vivo is already great.
Anyway like I said, it is normal to just shrug your shoulders when disappointed and go elsewhere, which I have done, but I am writing this to be constructive with a new company that I have wanted to see succeed.
regards,
John Hogan

Purchased the Wi Fi digital radio. What a great buy.
At $169.00 nothing elese comes close. Easy to set up, very easy to use. Half the price of others on the market.
So happy I have placed my order for the 47" HD LCD TV.
Can't wait for it to arrive so I can review.
