Acer AT2326 Review

Acer are more well known for creating neat looking laptops, than large LED TVs , however the company has taken a chance with the Acer AT2326.

The 1080p Acer AT2326 TV is available on Amazon for a fairly low sum, so how does it stack up when compared to more established models of sets. Well the TV comes in both 20 and 23 inch versions and is a LED edge light set.

Acer AT2326 Attractive TV

To be honest it looks quite well, the TV is a attractive set with a nice slim bezel and looks quite good. However, it is certainly not the sturdiest of sets and manages to bend a little when lifted, or when it’s placed under physical stress. This lack of strength can be seen in the Acer AT2326 with the remote control, which is quite poor in quality and also quite badly made.

Connection wise the TV comes with 2HDMI ports, a USB port and a number of other composite, Scart, VGA and other connection options. Acer has also placed a Freeview tuner on the set. It’s a standard definition tuner and not HD, though it’s EPG is poor. In fact it is very poor, it is badly designed, slow and really doesn’t cut the mustard. The USB port also allows for video playback in a number of formats which is respectable considering the price.

Acer AT2326 Picture

Image wise the TV comes with a range of Acer AT2326 only technologies, so how do they stand up?

Well the Infini contrast technology creates  quite good contrast ratio on the screen. The images look quite sharp, though is prone to dark spots.

Acer AT2326 Colours

Colours look reasonably vibrant and the TV is quite accurate as regards tones. The N.I.C.E feature does create smoother than average movement though it is nothing spectacular. We’d certainly see this as a second set for a house due to size and its quality.

However, it does have some other strong points, which would recommend a number of other uses. The TV’s mixture of ports and also its fast 5m/s response time make it ideal for both computer gaming and as a monitor for a console or PC.

Speaker wise it isn’t fantastic and seems quite tinny, however this is a fault of far more expensive sets.

Overall the Acer AT2326 is a good TV in some ways but lacks any bite. It is an ideal monitor, or second TV with its decent picture and fast response time make it good as a secondary TV, or as a monitor. Get the Acer AT2326 on Amazon.co.uk

Looks, functionality, resolution, and HD capabilities are all major specs that need to be considered when looking at buying a new television. The good news is that the Acer AT2026ML includes all of these and in good capacity for a 20-inch television that is on the lower end of the prices.

The design is sleek and modern, and is comparable to its competitors in the market. You cannot go wrong with a clean-looking black television.

The Functions Are Endless

For a smaller television, the functionality is quite good and has plenty to offer. Containing AV and HDMI inputs on the side of the screen allows for many devices to be connected. Kids, college students, and grown-ups alike enjoy playing video games from time to time, and AV inputs can run any older generation gaming systems and newer systems that don’t necessarily run on an HD output. Then at the same time, if you are a serious gamer and want to be completely taken back by the graphics, the Acer AT2026ML has the HDMI input for optimal graphic streaming.

HDMI is also compatible with Blu-ray players, and a beautiful way to watch your favorite movies in high definition quality.

The USB connection opens many doors to the transfer of media. Upload your favorite photos, movies, and music and watch them be played back over the 1600 x 900 resolution screen with 5W+5W speakers. This is a perfect set up for parties or any social gathering. Simply pop your USB device into the television and you instantly have numerous choices of playback.

Rotating from the side of the television to the back, you will locate a VGA input and component inputs for other HD gaming systems. VGA is perfect if you want to use this device as a hybrid between a television and a computer monitor. Some tasks on a computer are more fluid if you can bounce applications back and forth from one screen to another at the same time. With VGA you just need to purchase an adapter that runs from this input in the television to the output of your computer, and you can have a computer with dual screens in no time.

The Downside

 With a smaller television at a low price there are always a few cons. The screen resolution is beautiful, but you can tell that the manufactures put most of their effort into this area of the device and neglected the sound quality a bit. The build of the remote control was also a little faulty and does not fit the batteries needed very well. However, universal remotes are always available.

 Best Place For This Device

Since this television is only 20-inches, its best location within a home would be in a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen. In these areas the majority of people do not want or need a very expensive television, or one of a large size, making the Acer AT2026ML a perfect fit.

Slim, Modern Design
The slender Acer AT2026 is enormous in presence, but takes up very little physical space in your home – this TV is perfectly suited for use in any room in your home. Designed to be user-friendly, Acer included side- and back-mounted input/output ports to simplify connections, and a front-mounted speaker directs sound very clearly.

Environmentally Friendly
This LED-backlit display is a mercury-free, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable option – a wise choice for an even better future, without sacrificing image quality. Plus, with Acer’s InfiniContrast technology you get dramatic contrast improvement for sharper gradation and detail, especially in dim or bright scenes.

Integrated Freeview Tuner

Acer seamlessly integrated a Digital Freeview tuner – making sure you’re ready for the digital switchover. You will have access to over 40 Freeview TV and radio channels without the need for an additional set top box. You will also be able to enjoy access to the 7-day on-screen guide, as well as several digital interactive services.

High-Definition Images
HD+ 1600 x 900 resolution enhances your favorite movies, Internet videos, pictures and more – all from your PC via an HDMI connection. Digital TV connects you with the vast array and wide world of entertainment via the DVB-T SD standard, and a 24p frame rate and comb filter deliver theater-like smoothness, with vivid color the whole family will enjoy.

Flexible Multimedia Connections with HDMI™, PC input and USB Options
HDMI connects high-definition devices with the best quality uncompressed video, and audio. Using the HDMI connections will insure that you view the best possible image on your display. HDMI delivers the purest image and sound from your HD devices to your television. HDMI is also the simplest option available as it is simply a one cord install – HDMI transfers both audio and video over one cable instead of trying to figure out which wire goes where. The onboard PC input (a D-Sub VGA port) enables another display or device to be connected to your TV simultaneously. Now you can use your television display as your computer monitor, so you can enjoy the best of the Internet from your sofa, or so you can get a little work done from the comfort of your living room. Acer also included a USB multimedia reader to provide you with convenient and instant access to all of your favorite photos and music.
