No Built-in Tuner & Worthless Remote
on December 7, 2016
Posted by: samirakle
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased on black friday thinking it was a good deal but of course the limited Best Buy ad won't tell you there's no built-in TV tuner. Anyway, the display is fine and everything but if you don't have cable/satellite and watch local TV channels then you're screwed. Also, the remote control is a complete waste. You can't even access your TV's actual settings with it. You have to download an app on your smartphone and connect it to Wi-Fi in order to access your REAL settings (display, audio, sleep timer, etc.)

Is there a tuner u can buy to get local channels

There are plenty of external digital TV tuners out there you can hook up to it. I prefer a TV with a built-in tuner however and will be returning mine due to this reason. Also, because the remote is worthless.

I don't want to have to use my phone as a remote. Can I use Roku to access Netflix and then use my universal remote?

If you want to access your actual TV settings (sleep timer, display and audio settings, etc) then you HAVE to use your smartphone. I have a Logitech universal remote and tried to see if it would be able to access the main settings but it didn't work. There doesn't seem to be a way around it unfortunately. I will be returning my "TV" shortly to get a refund.

Is this a 4K LED UHDTV?

It's a 4K "display" not a TV actually. It doesn't have a built-in TV tuner so if you want local channels you'll have to purchase an external digital TV tuner.
