Viewsonic’s VMP70 Is Looking Ok, Plays A Ton Of Codecs But Not Mac Compatible

Viewsonic VMP70

Viewsonic, a company that is probably best known for their LCD Monitors, has entered into the digital media player space with the introduction of the VMP70.

Much like Western Digital’s offering, the tiny black box connects to your TV via HDMI (or component or composite) and can stream movies, music and photos from any network connected computer or a USB stick.  It’s compatible with a wide array of video/audio codecs and should boast a fanless operation since it has no on board storage. All the commands are driven by the included remote, so lose that and your SOL.

I’m hearing that it’s not Mac compatible, but since it features two USB ports on its rear that should suffice from a storage (aka content) standpoint.  The Viewsonic VMP70 is available now for $130.

    If it’s not mac compatible, I’m out. Too bad too because it would be nice to have more options than the apple TV
