This looked like an amazing price for a 42" Full HD LED TV - especially paired with the free shipping offer with Paypal! It apparently has an LG panel too.
Note - the free shipping is redemption style. You pay for it, and then it is credited to your Paypal account later. Free shipping offer ends Thursday.

I'm finding it hard to pass up… how bad could it be? :S
I'm pretty happy with my little 19" LED Kogan.
"Computer Supported Resolutions 640x480 @ 60Hz, 800x600 @ 60Hz, 1024x768 @ 60Hz, 1280X1024 @60Hz, 1366X768 @ 60Hz" is a concern - but maybe a mistake? (surely it supports the native 1920x1080)
I've emailed them asking to clarify this - I'll post back their response.
50/60Hz concerns me would have considered if it was 100hz.
Dang, been looking at the 32" led, looking for a simple sleek tv for the bedroom, 42" just a little to large
It can never be too large!
+1
This might seem a stupid question but I have seen some stupidly designed equipment over the years:
When you stick headphones in the headphone out jack of this tv, does it mute the volume from the tv's speakers?
I have a Kogan TV and it mutes the external speakers and switches over to headphone volume. I'd recommend getting on their guest chat to confirm though but it should be the same.

:(
8th May, its too long…
Kogan chat is the dead zone.
This is a Perfect for a cheap tv and you don't care about quality of image and refresh rate.
Perfect for bedroom.
Contemplating buying it but can't convince myself to do so. Anyone want to try and convince me? Would the TV last me a couple of years?
Expected dispatch date: 8th May 2012
Thank you, we've read that in the item description and the multiple posts saying the exact same thing as yours already.
Would buy it if it was 100hz panel and would ship faster. Otherwise it's a very average deal.
You want a 42", full hd, 100hz tv with pvr for less than $339 delivered- you're dreaming.
This is the cheapest price for a 42" full hd tv ever recorded on this site. Correct me if I'm wrong
For a Kogan it is all I would be willing to spend considering the other TV bargains out their lately.
Cant find the free shipping offer using Paypal anywhere on Kogan's site. Can anyone direct me to the link? I dont want to buy and find out later, it is not going to come back into my account.
Great deal OP :)

That's from an email Kogan sent me. You should have also got one from Paypal saying the same thing.
Didnt get the email. Is it possible to grab a copy of the email as pdf or something? I just ordered but want to be able to understand how will I get the shipping money refunded on my paypal account.
Here is the 'view online' copy of it :)

Thanks :)
Maybe you aren't one of Paypal's "most valued customers".
Kogan lost a sale on this, because their chat was unattended all day, they did not reply to an email, and I'm too cheap to waste 25c on a 1300 call- I hate 1300 numbers- when I have no confidence that I'd get an answer to my questions that way either.
Did anyone figure out why it is listed as not supporting 1920x1080 computer resolution?
I tried to find out…. support passed me on to sales. I'm not confident that sales know:

I ordered one anyway..
Thanks. I have a suspicion that maybe it doesn't support 1920x1080 over VGA. I don't understand how it would tell the difference between say a blueray player outputting over HDMI at 1080p, or my computer outputting over HDMI at 1080p.
I agree - if anything, it won't be able to do 1080p over VGA. That makes little sense though - I'd wager the work experience kid copy&pasted specs from a 720p model.
They have updated the spec:
Computer Supported Resolutions 640x480 @ 60Hz, 800x600 @ 60Hz, 1024x768 @ 60Hz, 1280X1024 @60Hz, 1366X768 @ 60Hz, 1920X1080 @ 60Hz
:)
Has anyone else received theirs?
I got mine today, and it seems to have the wrong firmware written to it… maybe firmware intended for a Konka model… it does very little except flash a Konka logo briefly when it is supposed to be in standby!
Any thoughts? Pretty sure I am going to order one
