The Kogan KALED48XXXYA is a discontinued 48-inch Full HD television with three HDMI inputs, legacy connections and no listed smart apps. Kogan’s manual provides useful specifications, but the available sources do not establish an independent performance verdict. If you are buying one used, check its condition, accessories and return terms rather than relying on its old price or a couple of owner reports.
What kind of TV is the KALED48XXXYA?
Kogan’s user manual describes the KALED48XXXYA as a 48-inch (122 cm) Full HD LED TV. Its native resolution is 1920 × 1080 pixels, with a 16:9 aspect ratio. These are manufacturer-published specifications, not independent test results.

CHOICE’s listing also identifies the model as 48 inches with a 1920 × 1080 resolution and says it has no smart apps. The model is marked discontinued by ProductReview. CHOICE’s accessible listing does not show its full expert rating or detailed test results, so there is no basis here for a definitive picture-quality, energy-use or reliability score.

CHOICE separately lists three HDMI inputs, one rear USB input, a weight of 16 kg, and dimensions of about 68 × 109 × 26 cm. The manual’s dimensions are approximate; differences in rounding or presentation mean these listings should not be treated as precision measurements.
Does it have streaming apps or screen mirroring?
CHOICE lists smart apps as unavailable. The manual describes USB for media playback and software updates; that does not establish internet access, an app platform or phone screen-mirroring support. The available model Q&A includes a question about mirroring a Samsung A20, but does not provide an authoritative answer.

What do the reviews say—and what can’t they prove?
ProductReview shows two owner accounts for this discontinued model. One owner, who bought a set in December 2016, praised its picture but described the sound as poor and said its power board was replaced under warranty after an early failure. Another owner, who bought one in September 2016, praised the HD picture, connections, price and delivery.

These are individual experiences, not a representative reliability study or controlled assessment of picture and sound. They do not establish how a particular used television will perform or whether repair service is available now. CHOICE’s detailed test results are not visible in its accessible listing, so they cannot fill that gap.
What to check before buying one used
- Screen and image: Test the panel with a known-good source. Check for damage, lines, uneven areas or other faults, and confirm the image is at the expected 1920 × 1080 resolution where the source allows.
- Inputs: Connect the equipment you intend to use. Verify the HDMI ports you need, and check legacy connections such as VGA or composite only if they matter for your setup.
- Sound: Listen at your usual volume and test the headphone or audio outputs you plan to use. The owner comments are mixed and cannot predict the condition of an individual unit.
- Remote and stand: Confirm that the remote and stand are included and working. The model Q&A does not establish which replacement remote is compatible; check the exact model or part number with the seller or Kogan before ordering.
- Streaming setup: If you need streaming, account for a separate HDMI device and confirm you have an available working HDMI input.
- Seller terms: Ask what has been tested, whether a return is possible, and whether any warranty applies to this specific sale. CHOICE lists a one-year warranty, but that historical listing does not establish coverage for a used purchase today.
CHOICE displays a historical price of $499; it is not a current market price. The available sources do not establish a present-day value, repair cost or out-of-warranty repair option.

Basic troubleshooting from the manual
Kogan’s manual suggests checks that may help narrow down common symptoms; they are not a diagnosis of a particular television.
Free tools Windows power users keep installed
One-click scans. No signup required.
- Broken-up or missing digital reception: Check that the antenna is connected securely and positioned and directed appropriately. The manual identifies a loose antenna or weak signal as possible causes of broken-up reception.
- No sound: Check volume and mute, then review the connected audio system’s settings if you use one.
- No picture or power symptoms: Check the power connection and standby controls. For picture symptoms, the manual also points to brightness and contrast settings.
Is the Kogan KALED48XXXYA worth considering?
It may suit someone who wants a basic 48-inch 1080p screen and has a use for its three HDMI inputs or older connections. It is a less straightforward choice if built-in streaming, verified sound quality, a confirmed replacement remote or current repair support is essential. Since there is no current price or comprehensive comparative test result established here, judge a used set by its tested condition, included accessories, seller terms and the cost of any additions you need.
