Would not play clearly on my 9" Pyle, only segments.  Played fine on my 15" Dell Laptop.  Very good content covering Hanks lyrics.  tBear

Okay, after 1500 reviews on this thing, I'm sure nobody is reading every single one to see what they say in their pro/con lists. Forgive me if I'm brief; I'm only chiming in to add the stars, and possibly parrot things people have already said.

As of writing, I've had this thing for about 30 minutes; setup was very simple, and I've just been tinkering with the color for most of this time. Everything is bright - almost too bright, so I had to dim it down - and colors are beautiful. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy.

The audio isn't great. Probably because I'm used to a monitor with speakers on the side, instead of... I guess these are in the back panel somewhere. Sounds a little muffled, a little grainy (whatever, I'm not a music professor; I don't know the real word), and basically, it sounds like a set of laptop speakers in there. I wasn't blown away, like I said, but I'm sure I'll get over it.

All-in-all, pretty great. I play a lot of video games, so I'm hoping to get a good life out of it. If disaster strikes, I'll update after putting their warranty to the test. Hopefully, I can forget about it entirely, instead.

The part came in ahead of time. Plugged it up and it was ready to go. My daughter's computer had completely dumped the Windows XP operating system (I have no idea how that happened). Spent an hour reloading the operating system and later the drivers from Dell and it was good to go.  I only wished that I'd spent a few more dollars and got a CD/DVD player so she can watch movies on her computer.  This only plays CDs.

I couldn't play the DVD on my DVD player "bad region". So I played it on my computer and it worked fine.

pretty much everything u paid for.. u just cant believe u r playing on ultra settings because theres absolutely no lag.. the only thing I think could be better is the sound system, thou the dolby stereo, wich is awesome, the sound system lacks a bit of quality and a subwoofer like my older Dell notebook with Jbl sound system

I installed this on a Dell Optiplex 745 small profile desktop computer.  It was easy to install and load the drivers for it.  The sound is OK.  I did have to re-seat it in the connector one time because I started to get a nasty hum from the front speakers.  That seemed to fix it.  It gets the job done and I would say that it is an acceptable, not great value for the $$.

Plays and sounds fine. Worth the money and I'd definitely buy again!

I have no problems with it since I got it 3 months ago.it plays wow, defiance, diablo, and starwars all great with no lag and on high settings.id recommend this to anyone looking for a nice starter computer that you can upgrade later as needed.

Not the greatest graphics when playing on a 55" TV. I love the PC version because of the smaller monitor.

I had issues playing this on my DVD player, and when I tried to play it on my laptop, it required me to download a separate program in order to view it. I already have Cortana/Window's 10 on my laptop, so it caused an issue with compatibility.

This worked perfectly on a new Dell laptop and an older Dell laptop, both running Windows 7, no manual adjustments needed.  Just for the heck of it I also tried it on an old, very small Sony Vaio running XP and it also worked fine except for manually adjusting the screen size on the TV.  Picture quality and sound are great.  I haven't found anything wrong with the VeeBeam as it all works perfectly and just as advertised so I'm completely satisfied and would highly recommend it. I did notice that the price has gone up since I bought it on Amazon two weeks ago.

I got this device primarily to play Bly-Ray movies on my laptop, which it does quite well.  Opinions vary regarding the built-in USB data and supplemental USB power cables.  For me, on my laptop, connecting with one cable works fine and I like having the cable built into the drive so there is nothing I can lose (I've lost count of the cables and power adapters I've left in hotels!).

Some technical notes:

1. If your computer does not provide enough power to a single USB port, you may need to connect a second port, and if your USB ports are far apart you might not have enough cable length.  In that case, the simplest answer is to get a USB extension cable.  Fortunately, for most laptops you should be OK, because the typical laptop layout has three USB ports with two along one side of the laptop and three along the other side.  So if you need to connect both cables then make sure to connect on the side of your laptop that has two USB ports.

2. There is no mention of Windows Eight on the packaging.  The laptop with which I used this drive is a "Lenovo B590 Windows 7 Pentium 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) 59410452" which is running Windows Seven.

3. If you want to play Blu-Ray movies on a projector or big-screen panel, you MUST connect using an HDMI cable.

As an anti-piracy measure (which like all such has not stopped piracy but inconveniences honest users), the industry group that licenses Blu-Ray technology to hardware manufacturers prohibits them from allowing Blu-Ray content to be transmitted on analog video connections (such as VGA).  My laptop and projector have both HDMI and VGA connections.  Using the DVD drive that's built into my laptop, I can connect this projector with either VGA or HDMI cable.  When I tried to play a Blu-Ray disk using the VGA connection, I got an error message saying only digital video is allowed.  It worked fine via HDMI port.

Interestingly, while I was playing a Blu-Ray movie on the projector, the video window on the laptop was blank.  I suppose this is another legal restriction imposed by the Blu-Ray licensing people: I guess they only allow the disk to be played to ONE screen at a time.  It's not a hardware limitation, because when I closed the video player software then I once again saw my Windows desktop on both laptop and projector screens.

THEREFORE, if you want to use this for home theater then MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER HAS HDMI.  This will be probably be the case with any USB Blu-Ray drive, because the manufacturer could get sued if they don't enforce this.  So if your laptop only has a VGA video port then you probably cannot play BD movies on a projector.  You can of course watch BD movies on the laptop screen.

Note: by default with HDMI both audio and video will be transmitted via the HDMI port.  I preferred sending the audio out my headphone port because that's how I connect to my audio system, so I had to go into the Audio menu in the software and change the setting from "HDMI" to "Headphones."  Depending on your setup, this might or might not matter to you.

4. On first use, you will be asked to pick your geographical region.  You will be allowed to change the region setting a maximum of five times.

i'm by no means an audiophile but i do enjoy great sounding music. While on a budget to equip a new home office laptop with adequate sound, i bought the S220 package based on the Logitech reputation and the price. i've played music driven by both my Dell XPS computer and Pioneer Inno (XM/MP3)and am more than satisfied with the choice.

I can now play ps2 on my computer screen and it was fairly cheap. Wish the video quality was better though.

It burns on my laptop- but there's definitely skipping and lagging. I'm not sure if it's because of my laptop or because I tried burning too much on the disc.

Played flawlessly. I think it skipped once on the last disc but I wasn't sure. Viewing was not interrupted thank you SourceMedia.

I loved it once I got it working.
I wanted to hook it up to my computer but that didn't work as the computer didn't recognize the player via the HDMI cable nor the USB cable.
I wanted to upgrade one of my 2 monitors anyway and I'm glad I did. I got a Dell one with 1028 resolution and it had a plug to plug my speaker system in too so I didn't have to get a different speaker system.
The picture is beautiful and the blue ray player works great with an awesome picture!!!
Make sure you have a TV or a compatible montior which has HDMI and a speaker or an outklet to hook up a speaker and buy the cables too if you don't have one.
