Reviews for Viewsonic NexTV VMP75 1080p Network Media Player - Stream Netflix, Internet radios/videos & access to Twitter, Facebook w/free HDMI cable (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The ViewSonic NexTV VMP75 is a real mixed bag of tricks. At first glance, the device is feature packed. Not only do you get the typical features (like Netflix, internet browsing, etc), but you get playback of ISO files, which until recently has been hard to find. This device has many things going for it, but the negatives really take my excitement for the VMP75 down a notch.

This device is small and the size is great for mobility (if you choose) and for the fact that it can easily fit behind mounted TVs or stuck in a corner somewhere. Of course, no matter where you put the player, it will need to be visible for the remote. It's a nice, compact device that stays cool while running.

I loved the fact that the player would access ISO files, but in my tests the success was limited. Playback was slow at times, but that could have been my connection. However, sound would cut out and I would get a connection error at times.

Nope. The second one had the same problems. I originally purchased this unit to replace my Asus O!Play so I could stream Netflix, but have given up and gone back to the Asus player which I adore.

Pros (there are only 2)
It plays Netflix well
The menu interface is attractive

Cons (sit back and relax - this will take a while)
Playback of ISO files from attached USB hard-drives was really, really bad. Sound cuts out for no reason, fixed by rewinding a rewatching, but it happens a lot. The 'resume playback' feature worked on 10% of the files, and if you chose 'ok', it would play for 10 seconds and show a 'connection interrupted' error and just stop playing. It was connected via USB.

The unit was hardwired to my network through a router - but would not play back anything from any computer on my network. I could see the files - just not play them.

The time display would not stay programmed. Literally every third time I turned this unit on, the time was incorrect. It's prominent on the menu page, but I finally gave up and let it show the incorrect time.

Pressing play after pausing caused the machine to stop playing your file and freeze the entire unit. The only remedy I found was turning the power off and then on again.

Finally - the customer service from the website was horrible. The automated troubleshooter was a huge waste of time and when I finally got an email from what I think was an actual person, it was a form email and didn't address my issues at all.
Reviews for Viewsonic NexTV VMP75 1080p Network Media Player - Stream Netflix, Internet radios/videos & access to Twitter, Facebook w/free HDMI cable (Electronics) I got this primarily for Netflix. The first unit I received had a bad HDMI port on it. I had to turn it upside down and wiggle the cable in order for any picture to show on my TV. I held it down in this position to see how it worked. Everything looked OK except the Netflix had no sound. Well this unit went back the next day.

The second unit came and the HDMI port was OK on this one. I tried Netflix and NO SOUND AGAIN!!! This time I reported the issue to Viewsonic and got a response back quickly. Naturally they wanted me to validate I knew how to hook it up. I responded that the sound was fine with playing network files and was fine on YouTube...just Neflix. The response was a thank you and they said a possible fix is in the works.

Well...yesterday (Sept 7th) I checked for firmware updated and there was one!!! I downloaded and installed and now Netflix works. I like this box now.

Reminder to all...download the latest firmware before trying anything. They are adding fixes all the time now that people are reporting problems.

***Edit Nov 25****
There is another new firmware update. It fixed my HDMI sync issues, allows zip codes for location, seems to work better with network shares, seems twice as fast responding to commands, and loads during power up faster. It is getting there..just wish all this was done before they launched. Right now I am glad I bought this.
