    Viewsonic NexTV VMP75 Provides Media and Web to HDTVs

    Viewsonic has just announced the NexTV VMP75, a slim and sleek alternative to portable rivals such as Apple TV. Despite its diminutive nature and low price, the VMP75 allows you to stream content directly from popular online services such as YouTube, Live365, ShoutCast and Flickr, and even offers direct access to the Netflix streaming platform, provided you have a subscription set up. This means entire catalogs of movies and TV shows can be viewed directly on an HDTV without any further equipment.

What’s more, it can support wireless keyboards and mice, so users needn’t fumble around with clumsy on-screen controls.
