Is this tv compatible w an hd antenna? null

There is no built in tuner. You would need to get a Digital-to Analog converter for around $30.00,hook the HD antenna to it and then to your TV with an HDMI cable.

I have to say the response to this question from the Vizio representative gives me serious doubts about their company. The answer is either a glaring, elementary mistake, or an outright lie. This TV is NOT compatible with an HD antenna. It DOES NOT have a built-in tuner, so connecting to an over-the-air broadcast antenna, even if it had the right input connection (which it doesn't) would not enable you to receive those broadcasts. You need a separate tuner for the HD antenna, which you would then connect to the Vizio using one of the HDMI ports. Vizio, if you want to make a TV that doesn't actually tune television broadcasts, that's fine. It's a brave new world of paid streaming content. But don't go telling people that the set is "compatible" with an antenna. It is not.

Thank you for inquiring about our product. You can connect an HD antenna to the TV. Thanks again and have a great day.
