Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5If you have fast internet a 4k tv and a decent sound bar you want this. The upscaling alone makes this worth it. I was using ps4 for streaming and everything else. I still love my ps4 but shield tv is much more versatile in terms of content and connectivity. I still haven't really scratch the surface. I do have a few cons though, mainly having to do with customization which is something android is known for so hopefully we will see more options down the road.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:4k support, Remote, SpeedI'm not a gamer I purchase this for streaming Movies and TV Shows.I must say the 4k picture quality is great that without the upscaling turn on.Easy set up althought I dislike the keyboard that could be improved,as I stated before I'm not a gamer so I can't speak on that part off this device but I heard it was great also according to the reviews on (YT).As for Download and Streaming speeds we know that depends on your service provider and the tier of mbps you have with them although it seen Streaming does work faster with my NSTVP. The player looks great and the control remote feel good your hand.

The AI 4K Upscaling is outstanding on my Samsung Q80 with, believe it or not, tv streaming services like Sling TV! Also, the remote is great and is able to control my A/V receiver and TV. Solid purchase even though it's priced on the high end.

Still Great.
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Still the same great performance as previous models. The remote is very much improved over the old one. (No more abrupt volume changes due to control placement.) And no more button cell batteries. This bad boy takes AAA. It does not come with a game controller, but the old ones are still compatible. My external hard drive (SanDisk Extreme SSD 250 GB) is compatible,but it made me reformat it. There is a noticeable increase in processing speed as far as multitasking is concerned. Unless A1 video upscaling, Dolby, and new remote design are deal breakers, the older models will due just fine.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionUsing an external drive off of the USB port, can we use Plex to categorize and watch/listen to movies/music like we can if the files are stored on an internal hard drive?
Asked by TucsonToad.
- A:Answer Yes, I bought the Shield to use as both a PLEX server and client. It took a little time for me to discover that unlike a PC I couldn’t just attach an External HDD to one of the Shield’s USB ports and instantly setup the PLEX server. I had to first format the HDD to Wipe the drive completely and merge the HDD with the Shield’s internal storage. The issue here is that once formatted on the Shield the External HDD will only work on the Shield (unless re-formatted for PC). This meant that I couldn’t remove the HDD from the shield, connect it to a PC and add media. That left me with an empty 4TB HDD while all of my media was still on my PC’s HDD. After lots of Googling/YouTubing I discovered that I’d have to first mount my PC as Network Storage to the Shield and then transfer my Media across the Network directly to the Shield. It works great now but it definitely took some time to figure out the process. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and especially YouTube. Hopefully this helps you avoid the same pitfalls I encountered.

Q: Question0MG.....has anyone seen the review chigz tech did on this new box yesterday?? This "NEW" shield appears to be the same box they released 2 years ago. As hard as he tried, he could not verify that ANY of the hardware had been upgraded. see the video!!!
Asked by rumbarrel.
- A:Answer Not true. This model has a newer Tegra chip and the unit is 25% faster than the older models. True not much else has changed but it is a faster processor. I have both models and I can definitely tell the difference in load times.

Q: QuestionDo I need the FireStick or the Cube to get Amazon Prime Video Services? If so Which one works best with NVidia Shield Pro - the FireStick or the Cube ?
Asked by Curious.
- A:Answer The shield is its own streaming unit that can also do a fair bit more. You can download the Prime Video channel on this just fine. No extra hardware required.

Q: QuestionCan I use Shield TV Pro as surveillance station? Does it support only Wi-Fi enabled IP cameras or can wired cams be plugged in through Ethernet hub?
Asked by Phoenix.
- A:Answer yes it could act as a surveillance station via some paid add-on apps...both Wi-Fi and ethernet cams would work...wired better quality and reliability...I haven't done a full recording setup yet but I have my cameras viewable in an app...and that app had options for recording....I think many apps do....

Q: QuestionI have skystream 3 now. Is this the same or better? Does it have Kodi?
Asked by goodie.
- A:Answer If you’re confused between the two consoles after having a closer look at their hardware, well, you only need to remember two things. Firstly, what do you need an Android home console for? Are you a streamer or a gamer? This question will usually help you make a choice between the two devices. The SkyStream III Plus is an exceptional product for the current market situation and fits in very nicely with the crop of Android running consoles available in the market. If you’re looking solely towards gaming, the Shield TV is a no-brainer really. It has all the features that would appeal to a gaming enthusiast along with the addition of the standard Android features like Google Assistant and the goodness of Android. NVIDIA is also pretty decent with updates, so you’ll have no trouble keeping this for a long time. By the way, I own a SHIELD 2019 model and its just awesome!
