They\u2019re questioning and researching each dollar they spend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where Kogan steps in. We\u2019ve already sold over 300,000 products to smart shoppers &#8212; today\u2019s product launch further proves that Kogan is synonymous with the best value in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCustomers asked for an frameless or borderless, stylish TV in the range. We\u2019ve not only joined the ranks of LG and Samsung with the only borderless TVs, we\u2019ve also managed to squeeze in a built-in PVR and SRS speakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had specific requests for a touchscreen version of our extremely popular eBook Reader, so we\u2019ve brought that into the range. Customers asked for our PVR to be upgraded with twin tuners, allowing you to record two shows at once, and we\u2019ve now done that. We even changed the file format our video camera records to, based on customer requests for an AVI recording option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve become one of Australia\u2019s most well-known brands and we\u2019re now even showing the UK how it\u2019s done, because we don\u2019t simply guess what our customers want. Instead, we listen to them and create exactly what they want in their technology at the world\u2019s best prices,\u201d Kogan said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/comms.kogan.com.au\/link.php?M=988484&amp;N=569&amp;L=956&amp;F=H\" target=\"_blank\">Kogan 46\u201d Borderless Full HD LED TV<\/a> &#8211; Starting at $849<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/comms.kogan.com.au\/link.php?M=988484&amp;N=569&amp;L=957&amp;F=H\" target=\"_blank\">Kogan Twin Tuner Full HD Digital PVR<\/a> &#8211; Starting at $59<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/comms.kogan.com.au\/link.php?M=988484&amp;N=569&amp;L=928&amp;F=H\" target=\"_blank\">Kogan 6\u201d Touchscreen eBook Reader<\/a> &#8211; $169<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/comms.kogan.com.au\/link.php?M=988484&amp;N=569&amp;L=958&amp;F=H\" target=\"_blank\">Kogan Full HD 10x Zoom Video Camera <\/a>&#8211; Starting at $279<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vuki &#8211; Click PR<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:kogan@clickpr.com.au\">kogan@clickpr.com.au<\/a><br \/>\n0422 492 660<strong> <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>About Kogan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kogan is a designer, manufacturer and retailer of consumer electronics.
