Is HDMI cable required for this tv? null

Hi Patsy, We highly recommend using HDMI cable for better watching experience. Thanks, >Joffrey

Patsy, I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to electronics, but my first impression is no you don't need HDMI. It has a cable connection (the screw in coax type) that doubles as an external antenna connection. That tells me it is an input to the TV and should work. There are also RCA plugs that could run from a cable box to the TV but you may also need a digital audio cable to get sound. Another option is RCA type plugs in R/G/B configuration. My final thought would be if you don't plan on using HDMI cables, don't bother with a 4K TV. All other connections mentioned are inferior to HDMI. I hope this helps, just keep researching for your needs and the connection quality that will support your TV's resolution ...

Required? I guess that is not the right word, but if you want to use it for anything other than direct cable input from the antenna then, yes. You need HDMI cables for about everything correcting to a TV. You will want to have a HDMI for your Blu-ray, your cable box (sometimes your company may provide one) and your receiver. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you want to connect but I'm going to guess most of it will require HDMI but you do have some old school options. Check out the specs and see if it meets your needs.

To experience real time 4k ULTRA HD then buy AudioQuest - Sky 8' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable (Magnolia line). I bought 2 of them . One for Blu ray player and second one for set top box.
