Where is the HDTV Antenna input?
Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by admin in Antennas
I am planning on buying a 22″ Samsung HDTV (Model # LN22A450). It comes with a built-in digital tuner, but I know that I still have to buy an HDTV antenna for it. I was wondering where that input for the antenna would be on the LCD. Does it plug into the HDMI port? Or is there a coaxial port somewhere on the LCD?Also, it only comes with 1 HDMI port. What is usually the recommended amount of ports that an HDTV should have?
Thanks!

It will have a standard coaxial RF port.
I would recommend at least two HDMI, two component, and two independent composite/S-video A/V inputs, and a VGA input.

There are usually two coaxial ports on the back. One for input
and one for output

You antenna connects to the coax antenna connector. Most digital channels are UHF, so it helps to have an antenna with good UHF reception. Some TV’s have 2 coax connectors for analog and digital or cable and antenna.
You can use the HDMI for an up converting DVD player or BlueRay. If you want to connect a laptop to it, it helps to have a VGA port (sometimes called 15 pin RGB). Or if you have a computer with DVI you can use a DVI to HDMI cable.

a 22″ doesn’t really need more than one. At 22″ the best picture you are going to see is w/ the ant using the coax ( rf ) connection. Don’t spend extra for more than that ( a couple of s-video and / or r/g/b inputs , yes ) or on 1080. Your eyes cant tell the difference until 42″ or larger
