    Nope. Neither TV not monitor come with an aerial (or areal as you spell it). I offered more detail and clarity on refresh rate. Admittedly you had mentioned speakers.

    You missed post number 1 then. 
  • Update -

    ive gone for a hisense A7300ftuk  43INCH.
    I decided to get something with speakers and aerial so I had the best of both worlds.

    Struggling to see where the lack of TV tuner is explained in that post.  No aerial socket doesn't cover it.
  • Lots of monitors aren't supported by Amazon's HD TV shows YET - something to be aware of if 4K is important for you
  • In my opinion, TV will work fine for you, you need an HDMI cable to connect it to your PC too.
