A: Hi, Yes, the TU690T has a built-in digital tuner (ATSC/ClearQAM) for receiving digital broadcasts via an external digital antenna. ~Samsung Advisor
Q: Can you get a center mount that rotates instead of the two feet
A: Yes, I purchased it online on Amazon for ~ $30. Just one note, this TV uses M8 25mm screws for this stand. The ones that come with the stand are 45mm, so get the 25mm at Home Depot before you begin.

A: Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner (upper left corner to lower right corner for example). The width of the case will therefore be less than the measured screen size.
A: Hi Jess, Great question! Both the TU690T and TU7000 both feature Crystal Displays for brilliant colors and exceptionally crisp, vivid images. Their Crystal 4K Processor further brings impressive clarity to all your content while upscaling everything you watch to stunning 4K definition, no matter the source. When stepping up to the TU7000, you'll gain Filmmaker Mode, which allows you to watch the source content (e.g., movie) just as the director intended, as well as Tap View, which allows you to cast content from your smartphone by simply tapping it to the side of the TV. When stepping up to the AU8000, you will have all the benefits of Crystal UHD while gaining Ambient Mode and built-in Voice Assistants (Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Google Assistant) with a voice button on your OneRemote. ~Samsung Advisor
Q: Can the feet be installed closer together?
A: Hi, No, the feet on the 43" TU690T are not adjustable. ~Samsung Advisor
Q: Does this TV allow download of PBS apps? Current Samsung we own does not have that option.
A: Hi BarkKeeper, PBS and PBS Kids are both available for download on the TU690T. I recommend ensuring your Samsung TV's Firmware is up to date. Go to Settings> Support> Software Update. The update may include these apps in the built-in app store. ~Samsung Advisor
Q: Can I download the spectrum app on this tv?
A: Hi Taytaylor, Yes, the Spectrum app is available for download on the TU690T TV. ~Samsung Advisor

Good picture quality and sound. Perfect size for my bedroom and fairly easy to setup! I also like that the remote isn’t too basic. Standard remote with the normal bells and whistles.

Perfect
I bought this TV about a week ago, and so far so good. Its the perfect size for my bedroom because of my low ceilings. The display is super crisp and clear. Assembly was incredibly easy, no screws necessary for the legs. Set up for the TV itself was also easy. My only complaint is that the remote doesnt have a voice feature, but it doesn't bother me enough to lower my rating. The sound and display are both huge upgrades from my much older and smaller Samsung TV.
