How well does this TV perform with only an antenna?

I'm sure you can and I don't see why not, in the case you were only going to connect a gaming system if a blue ray player. I connected my cable and a player. Either way, just go to the input button and switch input options.

I am using Over-the-Air antenna to receive TV signals. Put the setting on Plug&Play;, let the program detects the TV signals automatically, and i found I can receive about 15 broadcast stations. The drawbacks are signals effective by the weather conditions, sometimes I saw "the signal is too weak or broadcast is temporary unavailable". But most of the time was working very good. If you subscribe Cable service, I presumed this TV works pretty good. And price is very affordable.

It perform better when mounted on top of the roof or inside an attic. It will also work indoors depending on where you live. If you do not mind a huge Klingon Axe hanging next to your TV & getting signal strengths in the upper 80s then why not!

Well, I've only used it on a "cable" system. But you'll need an "HD (digital) antenna" now that the USA has stopped analog transmission of TV broadcasts.

with almost all radio stuff, performance and convenience is a trade off. The is antenna is very convenience, no holes, easy mount and install, not very big, and performance is "OK".. for the money, it is a very good buy.. There are other antennas that will work better, but drilling holes, height and coax routing etc, This antenna is very convenient and easy to install. and it will never leak where you installed it.

I use it in my bedroom, I really haven't noticed any problems watching it from angles, I think the TV has a good picture for the money

It works fine in my location without any additional antenna. I suppose reception would depend on where you are located?

It does an excellent job of recieving digital channels. All you need is an antenna. I get about 50 channels perfectly in the New York City metro area.

I've used mine only to watch DVDs and it works fine. I haven't tried the TV yet.

Mine has worked fine with just keeping it behind my TV. Like everyone has said, the cord is very long so its just a matter of trial and error of where the antenna works best for you with the best signal!

This TV only has a digital tuner, never tried it on air signal but other reviews have mentioned it does not pick up signal very well. I have it connected to cable and it works fine with the digital channels.

I have on HD and one regular tv with one antenna. Reception upstairs (ground floor) is excellent the regular. In the basement I have the HD and can receive 8 of the 12 broadcast stations. The problem is partially the angle as the stations missed are spread further apart in their broadcast locations. The rest maybe cable distance to the basement but I don't really use the missed stations when using the den.

It works only with antenna. Once the channels are set, is ok. saving money.

Yes. We used with an antenna as well. Nice TV. Better than I thought for the price.

It's not awful. Better than the ultra slim TVs. I use a sound bar regardless.

It works without an antenna and with an antenna, it enhances your channel availability. My dad has taken it to Arizona in the middle of nowhere and it works fine.

the TV works with coax cable but requires some sort of converter to get a digital signal - preferraly an HD signal. Without a great signal you will not get a great picture. A mediocre/poor signal may look worse when it is expanded to a 65" screen
