Do LCD TVs have digital tuner?

Remember there are TV's and there are displays. Even today a display may have no tuner at all while a TV must have a digital tuner. AND digital tuners MIGHT not be HD tuners on cheaper models.

Caveat emptor.
 
What kind of digital tuner, ota or cable? Try checking the model number on a Google lookup.
 
I think the big boxes are using the terms HD Ready and HD Capable.

HD Ready has a tuner.

HD Capable does not.

Actually, hd ready and hd capable are the same thing. It means they can display an hd picture, but have no digital ota tuner in them. Integrated means there is an ota digital tuner. All new televisions sold today have digital ota tuners unless they are called monitors. Again, why not check Google, or better yet, the company's website?
 
If it has a tuner, it must have an ATSC (OTA digital) tuner.I have not seen a HDTV that didn't also have an NTSC (analog) tuner and QAM (cable digital) tuner.
 
Davevh@comcast.net, "ATSC" is the new digital broadcast TV for U.S.A. (from air). If you can wait an LCD TV with an "A/74" compliant digital tuner will be money well spent. Currently to easily get this is to purchase a multimedia LCD computer monitor then directly connect it to an "A/74" compliant digital broadcast TV set top box.
