We have an somewhat old Samsung LS22PTN (at least that's the model number that the TV Showed in the menu). But it's a 23" None-smart TV we need to replace. TV aren't something I have shopped for before so my family wants a TV under $400, it has to have HDMI in, TV over the air antenna, RCA in, and 8th inch audio output and 1080p display. I'd like to get a brand by LG or Samsung as I know they make some REALLY good displays and connectivity. But I don't know how many TVs come with over the AIr receivers anymore. The HDMI in is for our theater PC, and the 8th audio out allowed us to use a Bluetooth speaker that had an 8th inch input on it and the RCA is for an old DVD and VCR players. Please link me or suggest to me some TVs on Amazon I can start shopping for! Thanks in advance!

As someone who used to sell TVs and related stuff, I have to ask some questions

 

1: What sizes are you looking for?

2: What do you primarily watch 

3: Is your seating area wide or mostly focused on 1 or 2 couches/seating areas.

4: Do you need a specific type of stand?

5: Any brands that you do not want? or any other no gos?

Sorry for my super late reply.

I think my parents said like a 22 inch,
Over the air TV, but we have a Home Theater Computer hooked uo via HDMI that's also carrying audio over HDMI. it also HAS to have RCA, component, and Coxaxe for over the air TV antenna. 
We have 2 recliners and we're sorta far back from the TV. It's a medium living room size.
We need a stand that can sit on a entertainment center, so a decent size base but not anything huge, it'd be good if the stand is in the center of the TV

No off brands. I really like Samsung, and LG as I know they make the better displays.

Just be aware that anything under 32" it becomes harder to find 1080P panels. Because at that size, 720p vs 1080p isn't really an issue. 

 

To be honest, any POS TV at that size and probably a lower price point will work. I mean Shit, Ive seen 4K TVs for $400. You can go to Rtings.com if you want to see reviews, just bear in mind that 1080p TV reviews are kinda meh on all of them. But you should be able to pull together a TV at the price point and size relatively easy. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

The current TV we have is 21 and a Half. I told and showed my parents how big a 32 inch is and they said that's fine. If you all can suggest some models with the required inputs I mentioned and models from Samsung or LG that are 1080p panels a little above that, that'd would really helpful! :D

Honestly any TV should work. TV manufacturers are no longer focused on 1080p. So most of those TVs have so so ratings on ratings.com. I have no recommendations, when I buy my next TV it’s likely to be 4K.
