It doesn’t get better than this!
Firstly, I have the Nvidia Shield TV 2017 version and absolutely love it. I’m not much of a gamer and use it primarily for daily streaming apps, Plex and Third Party apps. It was frustrating that Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos were unavailable on streaming apps. I now feel that Nvidia Shield has delivered the perfect all in one streaming device for me. AI upscaling works really well on non 4K content (especially on YouTube and Netflix content), Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Tegra X1+ chip (definitely improves the speed of the device), SD slot for expandable storage. Just like any tech, there’s always room for a little improvement. This is what’s still lacking, but really is so insignificant to me right now... •Doesn’t do HDR for YouTube •No HDR10+ •No Wi-Fi 6 •No HDMI 2.1 One more thing for those that buy this device for third party apps. You will notice that the app “Downloader” is no longer in the google play store. No worries...just download “Puffin Browser”. Search for www.google.com in the “Search or type URL”. Once that opens up, just search for Downloader and download from there. I saw another reviewer who said Puffin didn’t work, but he or she is wrong because it worked perfectly for me getting Downloader.

If it’s not a shield you’re wasting your money
I also have the previous 2 versions of the Shield and have always been pleased with them. This one is by far the best and, to me, a great upgrade from the 2017 Shield. It is considerably faster than before, searching and responding almost instantly with a fast internet connection. Even using Wi-Fi, it tested at over 50 MBPS from a 400 MBPS wired Comcast connection. The 4K upgrading works great and on an LG OLED TV the picture quality is outstanding using the medium sharpness setting. The new remote is a huge improvement over the original and even a lot better than the after market one I had purchased to replace the goofy OEM remote on the previous version. The initial installation is the best I have ever seen. It pretty much set itself up by just entering the phone # on my Google account. I like the new form factor and just let it hang behind the Television completely out of sight. The voice command seems faster and more accurate than previously. I am not sure if there is a limit to the size micro SD car it supports, its not mentioned in the Microscopic little guide provided or on the Nvidia website. It does work with a 256 GB card, that was the largest I had available.

My shield
I use Nvidia Shield throughout my home. This is my 6th one, and it's easy to install and set up. I haven't paid for cable TV in over 10 years.
