Tags: acer, response, playback, ports
We like:
TV tuner; good picture quality; remote control; tonnes of ports
We don't like:
Questionable styling; slow input switching
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The boldly styled F-17 is a great product provided you can put up with its looks. Unlike many LCD TVs, it has a high native resolution and fast reponse time, which makes it suitable for playing modern games. It also produces excellent image quality, so it's ideal for viewing images and watching movies and television via the integrated analogue tuner
