Another Cheap, Direct To Consumer TV Manufacturer Hits Australia

Gizmodo AU

Tyagi TV.jpgWhen Kogan first started out, they didn’t just announce products then cancel them a few days before launch. They offered cheap TVs direct to the public via an ebay store. Now another company has taken the exact same idea, and changed it only by naming the company Tyagi.A quick look at their website shows that a) they need a web designer much more than we do; and b) That the TVs on offer are as cheap as they look.

Unlike Kogan, Tyagi is yet to branch out to other gadgets like phones, or Blu-ray players, but it will be interesting to see what kind of quality we can expect from their TV sets.

Have any of you guys bought one of these TVs? Are they any good?

    I wouldn’t trust these guys any more than a sack of rusty hammers. TECO makes some pretty amazing LCD televisions and they are almost as cheap as dirt. I’ve been told that they use top range panels (same as the bigger guys) so at least you can get a good picture for your $$

    Sadly enough they DID hire a web designer…the links on the bottom of the page.

    There’s also something weird going on with their Sydney Metro delivery price on the 37″.

    These guys are not even the second 1.
    i bought my tv start of 2008 from company called Millennius. they sell on ebay and believe there website is updating.
    I think you ( gizmodo ) should interview these guys..

    they at least have camcorders, cables, gps, and tvs.
    better looking then tyagi.

    i would class millennius same league as kogan
