NEUMI Atom 4K Ultra-HD Digital Media Player for USB Drives and SD Cards - Plays 4K/UHD 60fps Videos, HEVC/H.265, HDMI and Analog AV, Automatic Playback and Looping Capability

We have multiple TV displays throughout our office. The Neumi 4K has made our lives so much easier for displaying graphics. The units work predictably and very easy to set up and use. Very intuitive. We use Canva to make the video graphics and then transfer to a USB drive and it works great. Thanks

I just upgraded to a new 4K projector and receiver and bought some 4K Blu Rays of my favorite films. IN the meantime, I ordered this NEUMI ATOM player, just to see what it could do. I loaded a 66.7 GB file of one of those movies onto a 3TB external hard drive, hooked up the hard drive and the Neumi to my receiver, and ... oh, my! The picture and sound were absolutely beautiful. My go-to method of watching video is to stream it to my Roku with Plex Media Server. This Neumi player, however, works so much better, especially with those huge files. No buffering, no hiccups, no freezes ... just solid 4K content! It loads quickly (almost immediately), plays every file format I have, and asks if you want to pick up where you left off if you stop the movie before it ends. This is all I want for Christmas this year! I can't think of anything else I would rather have.

This was my first purchase of this kind of device. So my first issue was trying to put batteries into the remote when I first took it out of the box. Thinking the panel should open up further ended with me snapping the panel off. I could still put it back on, but I'd have to try not to slide the battery panel off with my hand when I'm holding it. So I opted to just not putting the panel back on. Definitely my fault, but could have been designed better. The interface is pretty simple and to the point in what kind of media you'd want to be playing. Listed my video files with a basic file list. Even with it full of video files, it handled playing media off a Sandisk 512GB USB stick pretty quick. (https://a.co/d/67lhvGy) I'd watch stuff during my lunch break and stop the video when my break ended. While it wasn't too big of an issue, my place in the video would only be remembered for one file at a time. So if I wanted to watch something new, my stopping point at another video would be forgotten. I was pretty content with how the box was working for a while. Then over time of me plugging it in, unplugging and disconnecting it from the TV, and then putting it in my locker, the power plug started having an issue. The power port felt loose and the plug wiggled just a tiny bit, where the device wouldn't power on unless I kept tension on the cord to pull it downward. Sometimes it was if the plug wasn't turned inside the device. I managed with this new "quirk" for a while until recently it just wouldn't power up at all anymore. Since it wasn't working, I took off the cover to see if I could find the issue internally. I couldn't see any loose soldering or anything that would look like the plug could be fixed. It was a decent media player for the few months I had it, but I would caution people to be careful with the power adapter to not put too much force side-to-side on it when it's plugged in.

I was a little doubtful about this product because of some of the negative reviews, but decided to try it out anyway. I needed something like this because although my Samsung TV is supposed to be able to play MP4 files off a USB stick, it doesn't work too well, and sometimes just trashes (erases & reformats) the drive. And I desperately wanted to play some very precious old home movies stored as MP4, so this product looked like a viable option. I was expecting more difficulty than I had, tbh. I unpacked the item, read the instructions about updating the firmware, and followed them (after connecting to power & TV, obviously). Firmware update went without a hitch (make sure you're downloading the right firmware!!). Then I plugged in a small USB stick with some test videos, and read the manual about the controls (for example, pause/resume using the OK button). Zero problems so far, and I hadn't spent that much time on the whole thing. After that I was ready to roll. I was able to walk through my folder hierarchy, scroll through the file list, and play what I wanted. I set up the auto-resume in the settings (I think it's the default), and adjusted the screen zoom to make sure the entire picture was in the frame. That was it. So based on my experience, I have no trouble recommending this product. Read the manuals carefully (they are pretty clear, despite the reviews that claim they're not), and follow the instructions exactly (they're not complicated). Enjoy your success. If for some reason you have trouble, even after doing everything by the book, it's possible you got a bad one -- it happens. I would suggest first trying out a replacement (since Amazon makes that super-easy) before concluding the product is bad.

Newest revision October 18, 2025. I feel bad I had to re-write my review of the Neumi. I already issued an alarm regarding that this player does not eject the drives properly. Then I rated it 4 stars because it does play the 4K videos well... Until last night, when I was going to review 4 of my 2TB Western Digital hard drives. This time, It was able to read the first one and plays videos well... until I stopped and turn it off, waited a few minutes and remove the hard drive. That was enought to KILL/Bricked the 2TB drive. It cannot be accessed/erased/reformatted/repartitioned in Windows 10, Windows 11, Ubuntu 20, 22 and 24, using Disk Management/diskpart/sfc /scannow/etc... I tried everything. It is dead as a door nail. So, this Neumi player is now declared by me as DANGEROUS. Use it at your own risk of loosing your drives. Now rated 1 star (should be Zero star and removed from the market place.) Below is a revision of what I wrote when reviewing the Neumi Atom 4K player. Today, I would like to revise "The Bad:" (see below...) After reaching out to tech support of Neumi, I was advised that one should wait a few minutes before removing the USB hard drives after turning the Neumi off, which I do now. This turn out to be true, and this may help. However, I have tried again, and still feel nervous because although the Neumi is off, the USB drives still flash, or if not flashing the LED is still on. To be fair to Neumi, I think the Neumi Atom 4K player is safe for the USB hard drives. Mine are all 2TB, and this may not applicable to larger size drives. Still, be warned, if you experience hard drive problems with a Mac computer after playing them with the Neumi, the drive can be "rescanned" by a Windows computer and it will be fine. The BAD: The 2 Neumi I bought do not eject the external hard drives connected to the USB connector correctly when they are turned off after playing, The drives are OK with the Neumi, but unreadable on Mac or PC computers when removed from the Neumi. PC can "fix" ths problem, but it needs to be fixed. This problem is important to be corrected because it is the same as just unplugging the drives without first ejecting them. When turning off the Neumi, I saw only one time that it has a "Turn Off" option. Many other times, it just turn off, and the hard drives go bad. I am lucky this can be "fixed." This is dangerous. I decided to keep both and hopefully will figuring out how to properly eject the drives before moving them to other computers. I gave this 4 stars. It is a very cheap player that can play 4K movies very well, just what I need.

Works as intended. It's a bare bones system that simply plays your media, but is a step above playing movies on the PS5, which is limited to what file formats it can play. A lot of media is encoded in such a way that should play on the PS5 but does not. This media player solves that issue, and allows the use of subtitles which, again, the PS5 is incapable of playing. This is a great entry level unit that is so easy to use that there's no need to read the manual. The remote control works without a hitch. I have no complaints about this player. It will suffice until I upgrade.

I purchased this device open box, as new. I expect it was returned because the person got it as a gift from someone who didn't understand what a media player does when they gifted it, or by someone who thought it did things it cannot do. These simple media players do not connect to the internet. They are not a Roku, or a Firestick. They were created to play media files you created with a camera or computer, or downloaded from the internet. Android TV boxes can do the same things and also connect to the internet, and I've recently used them to play video files, but I think the NEUMI Atom 4K has better capabilities as far as which files it can play, and it can read a larger USB drive. I have one particular MKV file that is always a problem, even with other media players I have, and the NEUMI had no problem with it. I have not tried it with photos or music at this point, but expect I'll have no issues with it. The on screen menu you get when you press the menu button changes according to the kind of file you are using, by the way. The remote is a simple one...uncluttered and easy to figure out. The buttons fell solid, and are not mushy when you press them. I thought I read a review critical of the interface you see on the screen, but there isn't much you can do to make it more high tech when only thing the machine does is to find, open, and play various media files. This media player is very small, yet it has 2 USB ports, an HDMI connection (cable not included, which was not a problem in my case), a slot for SD cards, and an audio/video out jack for RCA jack connections for older TVs. It also includes the RCA connector cable. For what I purchased it for, this model of the NEUMI is perfect...and the same should be true for anyone who knows what this media player can and can't do.

Video and audio quality and speed are excellent and I liked the fact that the ATOM concentrates on media rather than trying to be an "everything port" to links like Netflix and Amazon Prime which are typically available directly on most new TVs. It provides a nice capability to fine-tune video size which prevents clipping of edges sometimes experienced with other systems. The Amazon Listing reads "The ATOM 4K can read USB drives up to 4TB or Micro SD cards up to 512GB". This is true and really great. The ATOM handled partitions and subfolders MUCH better than a ROKU (on a 4T SSD formatted to exFAT with 4 partitions). My newer ROKUs don't have enough power, even for solid state drives (my measured power supply voltage ran at 4.5V for the 5V rail and the current died near 500 mA). Browsing on the "ATOM" is zippy with small icons of the content being displayed that actually correspond to the videos. It populates the menu from the drive about 10 times faster than a ROKU (with 3.6T of 4T in use this can save a lot of time). The response for cards and USB sticks very good. A separate purchase option exists to replace the IR remote with an air mouse if unit positioning is not optimum for IR control. I discovered this by corresponding with NEUMI tech support - which was fast and informative. The unit delivered to me is running the KV2_20230713.105629 firmware version. Unfortunately after working beautifully it suddenly stopped providing audio output. Now trash.
