Acer AT3705W-MGW
Infosync World has a review of the Acer AT3705W-MGW, a 37 inch LCD TV that has wireless and is a media extender.
Going all out, Acer’s recent autumn release has included several gems - such as the Aspire L250 media PC, the MG-3001P media extender and a nice range of LCD TVs in sizes up to 32 inches. Merging the two latter categories, the AT3705W-MGW LCD TV is the pick of the litter, combining a 37-inch display with the functionality of the MG-3001P for an absolutely stunning result.
Offering a 1920 x 1080 resolution at a brightness of 550 nits, the AT3705W-MGW features a contrast ratio of 800:1 and grey-to-grey response time of 12 ms. Although sleek in design, its measurements are considerable; 1018 x 616 x 210 mm, and God only knows how many Kg. A few quick glances and a close-up examination revealed the claim of 176-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles to hold at least relatively true, and brightness and contrast also appeared to be fully on par with Acer’s listed specifications.
Supporting PAL and SECAM, the AT3705W-MGW offers a stunning array of input options. Four SCART inputs kick off the party, two of which are CVBS/RGB and two of which are CVBS/S-Video; two Component inputs supporting 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i resolutions; dual Composite connectors, one of which is CVBS and the other CVBS/S-Video; VGA in; DVI-D with HDCP; and HDMI. In addition comes RCA type line in connectors for analog audio input, and SPDIF coaxial for digital output - as well as a 10/100 Ethernet, which is where the AT3705W-MGW starts to show its true form.
Not only equipped with Ethernet, the AT3705W-MGW also features built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, both for the purpose of streaming audio and video over a home network as the TV secretly conceals the exact same functionality as Acer’s MG-3001P Media Gateway.
