Excellent product but too expensive...
The product does an excellent job replacing my smart TV. It is very fast and responsive. I love the way it allows you to organize the front screen. Easily placing icons in the desired order. I also like that it suggests trending items to view or play on the front screen. It made several suggestions of shows I would like on you tube so I did not have to look them up myself. The remote PC game play is awesome, I was streaming my pc games at 2560x1200 resolution with no lag at all with a nvidia 970 chipset. But, I am also connected to my pc through a cat 6 line so I get really good connection speeds. There is also an option to play games on nvidia's network over the Internet where games are run on a super charged pc with an nvidia 1080 graphics card. The games were really smooth and fast for me on nvidia's site but then again I do have an Internet connection of 75mps up and down. Also, the controller it comes with is really nice and comfortable to use. I was able to successfully pair two addition ps4 controllers to the unit. It was pretty awesome, I was streaming Trine 3 in hires from my pc to the tv while playing with 2 friends. I was using the nvidia shield controller and they were using the ps4 controllers. If you wanted to you could just use the ps4 controller and not the nvidia controller at all. Just to note, i did pair a ps3 controller to the unit but was unable to pair more than one, it seems to be impossible to pair more than one ps3 contoller. Also, the only bad site about pairing a ps4 controller is you have to shut it off manually after you turn off the nvidia shield otherwise it just stays on. You shut it down by holding the ps button down for 10 seconds. I also paired my harmony remote with the nvidia shield perfectly, so now i can navigate all the menus with no problem even in apps like hulu. But, please note if you have a harmony that only does inferred the you need to buy THIS nvidia shield and not the 16 gig version which does not come with an inferred receiver. All in all the unit is incredible and hands down the smartest device out there, but I would buy the unit with 16 gigs and save $100. Put that $100 toward a portable hard drive with 2 tb of space and attach that instead of buying the 512 gigs which is a hard drive anyway. If it was a ssd instead I would say it was worth the extra $100. I think nvidia should drop the price to $250 which is a better price range for this product. Just note that if you attach a drive to the unit and you want to store games and apps on it then you will in to replace the originalast memory I the unit. So, for example you bought the 512 gig nvidia shield and you run out of room and want more space for games and apps, so you attach a 2tb drive to it later. Unfortunately, Android will only allow one encrypted drive at a time, so your internal drive will be disabled to allow users of the 2tb drive. This is why I recommend the 16gig version because then you are throwing away 16 gigs instead of 512.

The absolute best in class
The Nvidia Shield TV is a beast of a media center device. It has absolutely crushed everything I have asked it to do to include playing Wii games through the Dolphin emulator. With its robust capabilities I have been able to stream any content from my pled server, play old school games with ease and use the built in gamestream to play my new games over the house network from my gaming PC. For anyone looking for an everything device, look no further, this is the device you need.

Very Awesome!
If you are looking for a good 4K streamer that can do movies / TV shows AND your games, then stop looking. This is the one. Its very fast device, comes with the nicer remote that allows voice and remote sound. And of course, 500GB of storage space for games, and media if you want to use your own Plex / Kodi server. Very user friendly, and very easy to setup. Highly recommended.
