Everything USB posted a review on the Veebeam HD Wireless USB PC-to-TV Video Streamer.



For many consumers, the cost of a Home Theatre PC is simply cost prohibitive and yet a media appliance such as the Western Digital Live Plus, or Seagate GoFlex TV doesn't quite meet their needs. Many consumers DO however own a fairly powerful laptop yet have no way getting the signal off their laptop and onto the screen wirelessly. For this niche, the Veebeam HD video streamer may just be perfect as it allows - via Certified Wireless USB - customers to turn their laptop INTO a HTPC. This is the theory behind the Veebeam HD wireless USB streamer, but is the reality the same as the theory? Read on to find out in my full review.

The Verdict:
While the Veebeam HD video streamer does indeed allow you to wirelessly stream High Definition media to your TV, most consumers will be better served with a dedicated media appliance, as while the hardware is good the same can not be said of the software.

The Good:
+ Small and lightweight
+ Interesting yet stylish look
+ Veebeam's implementation of Wireless USB works very well at seamless streaming of media across the room
+ 1080p Streaming works flawlessly

The Bad:
- Line of sight wireless capabilities only
- Software does not include any CODECS
- Software does not support alternate audio streams
- Software and manual are not included in the box and need to be downloaded
- Price
- USB Antenna is overly wide and will block adjacent ports
