The editors didn't like
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...
Wireless Range
HDMI Cable Not Included
Getting the VeeBeam desktop to actively launch on the TV screen after a connection was made was hit or miss
The audio was somewhat muddy
The Firmware update process is ridiculous
A remote control of its own would be useful (albeit a complicated feat no doubt)
Wireless connectivity less powerful than expected
Some recurring video glitches
Lag is too great for gaming or Web browsing.
LINE OF SIGHT only
No remote control
Software is rudimentary
Does not work as a desktop extender for computer usage
Somewhat expensive
Requires newer
Robust laptop
Screencast function monopolizes laptop
Softer and has more artifact-prone picture than wired HDMI cable connection or Intel Wirelss Display

Abstract: This is a triangular shaped box and a wireless USB dongle that lets you show whatever you can see on your notebook or a PC onto your TV screen, so you can show HD movies, play MP3 content or even use it for work stuff like Powerpoint....
