  Finally a simple way to watch my videos on my HDTV

  by Robt_L on December 17, 2010

  Pros: Simple to install. must use a video player software (vlc player is free) Plays anything that you can see on your computer screen... in so many words it turns your HDTV into a HD Computer monitor

  Cons: the signal doesn't go more than 25' It will go through the wall a short distance (15' or so depending on the wall material) It you have a Netbook you won't be able to use it for anything else while your watching your video.

  Summary: I download a LOT of movies. Unfortunately I had to convert some of them to a format that my Directv Media Share" or my WDTV would be able to stream ...

  Summary: I download a LOT of movies. Unfortunately I had to convert some of them to a format that my Directv Media Share" or my WDTV would be able to stream or play to my 73" HDTV. Now, I don't have to convert/transpose my downloaded media. I play them with VLC Media player, which plays just about any format that you can thorough at it . I play them on my laptop an with the Veebeam HD I can stream what I see on my computer screen to my HDTV and It looks as good. Blue-ray avi's or vobs or any format look and sound great on the TV. and the sound comes through my audio sys.

  Forget about it

  by krakeltx on December 16, 2010

  Pros: easy to set up

  Cons: There is a delay between what's on screen and laptop so not usable for surfing. Also, if you interrupt the line of site at all it disconnects

  Summary: The product is not really usable as advertised. The set up went flawlessly and was the best part of the experience. First, if you use this as a laptop extender ...

  Summary: The product is not really usable as advertised. The set up went flawlessly and was the best part of the experience. First, if you use this as a laptop extender there is a huge delay between what is up on the screen and what's on your laptop making it unusable for browsing. The other major issue is that if you interrupt the "line of site" at all it disconnects...you just can't walk between the laptop and the receiver and expect it to work. There are a number of these type devices on the market and i should have looked at reviews on other sites (which clearly point out these issues).

  Not a wireless solution

  by howellgr on December 2, 2010

  Pros: Software is easy to install

  Cons: Distance is limited to one room and Veebeam recommends not more than 5 meters (roughly 15ft). I could not establish a connection in direct line of sight over 10 feet.
  Is not stable drops in and out

  Summary: For this short distance a cable works better.

  Easiest way to put computer content on the big screen!

  by robbyhead on December 2, 2010

  Pros: Software installation and setup very easy ... Passed my "setup without looking at the manual" test! ... sends video, audio, pictures & slideshows, Google & Bing maps with various views, Power Point, anything ... one unit works with multiple comput

  Cons: The USB dongle seems a little flimsy. (but it is a 1st generation unit)

  Summary: I may want to update this when I've tried it on other TV's with different connections. I can't complain about anything so far. My laptop is way ...

  Summary: I may want to update this when I've tried it on other TV's with different connections. I can't complain about anything so far. My laptop is way under the specs that VeeBeam set as minimums and it still works well. HD Video is sometimes not as smooth as I would like (1080 & 720) on my laptop but the same content plays perfectly on my wife's which is still a little short of the minimums. One of my friends came to my house over the holidays who has purchased several of the recently released set top boxes and said that he probably would have been satisfied with just the VeeBeam. I'd still like to compare the experience with using a media center PC which I don't have. For now, I'd call this the current "quick & dirty" way to put what's on the computer you already have on your TV. At the very least, your friends will think you're cool!

  Yes, it really does stream your Mac or PC, and well!

  by notacapulet on December 1, 2010

  Pros: Works consistently well from anywhere in the room. 1080p video streams smoothly - no jerky movement, no audio sync issues, beautiful picture! Audio is clear - no breaks or artifacts. Sounds as if it were connected by wire.

  Cons: Product is clearly a first generation - updating firmware is very unpolished. Line of sight - generally, I have only broken line of sight by cupping the USB stick with my hand.

  Summary: This product streams HD video and 5.1 surround wirelessly from your PC or Mac to your home theater system - and it does so very well. The Veebeam company ...

  Summary: This product streams HD video and 5.1 surround wirelessly from your PC or Mac to your home theater system - and it does so very well. The Veebeam company is small, but their passion and support has been incredible. I purchased both the Apple TV (2G, aka the black one) and the Veebeam, to compare my experience. I have returned the Apple TV as my Veebeam experience was far superior - I need my HULU streaming! Also, I use the product to play music from it iTunes collection on my Yamaha receiver without the TV sometimes - so much utility in this product.
  
  You will not be disappointed - I consider myself a tough critic, and I'm pleased. Purchase and enjoy!

  Love Veebeam! So easy and the HD video is great...

  by Ebyleung on December 17, 2010

  Pros: Less than 15 minutes from setting up to watch a netflix movie streaming from laptop to TV. I had my laptop and TV sitting at two opposite corners of the same room. No more wire clutters, woohooo!! Both the picture and sound worked out really well.

  Cons: There is a 2 seconds delay from laptop to TV. I watched the entire movie on the TV screen and that did not bother me at all.

  Summary: No compliant at all. Love Veebeam and will recommend anyone to buy

  do not buy!

  by jofortun on July 29, 2011

  Pros: worked for about 3 months

  Cons: stopped working - replacement did not work either. I spent hours trying to get it to work

  Summary: Use an HDMI adapter instead. It is much cheaper and more reliable ($35 vs $150). The range of the Veebeam is so short that the advantage of wireless is minimal.

  Great device for playing HD to your TV

  by claybender on April 17, 2011

  Pros: -Easy to setup
  -Plays full HD 1080p

  Summary: this is a great little device recommended by my Dad and I would recommend to a friend. I have a Dell Latitude 6520 that has a known bug with the ...

  Summary: this is a great little device recommended by my Dad and I would recommend to a friend. I have a Dell Latitude 6520 that has a known bug with the built in HDMI port and this device worked around that for me. I'm running Windows 7 pro 64 bit and it works great.
