Acer AT3720 37″ LCD HDTV Review

Posted on 29 August 2007 by hdtv

The Acer AT3720

Getting a new television for the home is a major purchase nowadays. The idea of parting with what could be a couple of hundred notes does tend to concentrate the mind somewhat.

Ensuring that any purchase you make is to all intent and purposes future-proof has to be the most major of all criteria when deciding which TV to buy.

The latest telecommunication system for broadcasting moving pictures and sound is known as Digital television (DTT) and as the name implies this relies upon the transmission and reception of digital signals as opposed to the more conventional analogue formats. With DTT, viewers are limited to whatever channels the antenna picks up. Signal quality will also vary.

The purpose of this post is to take a look at what is on offer with the new generation of Flat Screen Televisions available and in this case the television in particular is the Acer AT3720.

The AT 3720 is a 37in LCD TV and these TV’s at present can be found in the region of 800 pounds sterling or 1600 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Acer has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the AT 3720 uses is HDMI and 2. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the Acer is available from limited outlets only.

So given this information, what would be our view of the Acer AT3720?

First up, we would look at the picture quality and our score here would be 4 out of 10, and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 4 out of 10. With regards to the availability and number of relevant connections, our score would be 6 out of 10. With regards to the overall level of features, our view would be 4 out of 10 if we then take a look at the ease of use and overall value for money then our scores would be, 4 out of 10 and 6 out of 10 respectively.

The overall verdict would be this is one to be very careful of with average pictures and an average audio. The lack of a digital tuner for this TV sadly puts it at the bottom of our list.

The fact is that given the wide variety of models and makes available today you should find something that suites your needs as well as your wallet. You could either opt for one of the more cutting edge newer options available or stay safe and go for one of the more established options available. We hope that after reading this article you will find yourself better informed and as such it will mean that really it will not matter which rout you take.

With regards to the prices in this article we have tried in all cases to take an average across the industry from a number of well known web sites and so we ask you to bear this in mind and treat these prices as advisory only rather than absolutes.
