NVIDIA - SHIELD Android TV Pro - 16GB - 4K HDR Streaming Media Player with Google Assistant - Black

Not gonna lie, I bought this mainly for gamestream, then as streaming device second. Gamestream is a headache to setup but once you have 1) really good gaming rig, 2) fix whatever bugs there are, this is capable of gamestreaming 4k60 even with a very fast 5ghz wifi (I have Ac3150 beamforming router with AC1900 beamforming capable card on the rig). So far I've played Rocket League, a few Assassin's Creed games, and tried Battlefield V Campaign for the lol. Stutters only come if someone walks through the hallway between the router and the office where the Desktop is situated. Aside from that, the 4k60 stream is excellent and the wireless xbox360 gamepad input lag is bearable to singleplayer games. Don't bother trying on games that require no input lag at all. The AI Upscale is a pleasant surprise and Netflix standard streaming looks like a legit 4k stream. Compared to when I stream directly from my Smart TV. On the other hand, my 4k HDR streams from Disney Channel is working flawlessly with my HDR capable TV. On another note, my Dolby digital sound is going through the the shield, then to TV then to TV's HDMI ARC connected to a samsung Dolby 5.1 Soundbar + wireless soundwoofer & rear speakers. So I can attest that Dolby passthrough works. Not sure about Dolby atmos though. It is also good for running android games or if you subscribe, Nvidia's GeForce Now. Also, the price is pretty high up there so the only worth it specs from this device is the gamestream and the AI upscale. If you can't justify that cost, you should try looking at other cheaper streaming device then. Side note, turn on HDMI-CEC on the shield and your tv. This will allow you to turn on the Shield, the TV and the Sound bar all at the same time with just the Shield's remote. Also, turn on the HDMI-CEC volume control (alongside in the TV settings). I only need the Shield's remote through this setting to turn on, and even mute and adjust volume.

If 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.

I have been hooked on the Nvidia Shield for over two years. I enjoy retro gaming and streaming. This me Shield is good at both. I have an Apple TV 64 GB. Since I stated using the Shield. I have never used the Apple TV since. For $199 you will not find a better streamer/gaming setup.

Best android tv iOS you can get for all your needs I recommend the nvidia shield tv pro for movies tv shows and games also you command your smart devices with google or Alexa

I love my Nvidia Shield TV Pro ~ In the past I've purchased the Fire Stick , Fire TV Cube and MIBOX but the best out of all of them was the Nvidia Shield TV Pro ~ Take my advice if you don't have the money right now save and be happy of the purchase instead of regretting the decision 2 or 3 months down the line of one of the other purchases

I have been looking at the Nvidia Shield for a looooong time and finally decided to buy it as a birthday present for myself. I have several streaming devices in my house from Roku, Google, AirTV, and Xfinity. The main things that attracted me to the Shield are Dolby Atmos support in Netflix, built in Chromecast, and the AI upscaling. All of my favorite apps work - Pandora, Hoopla, Peacock, YouTube TV, and Disney +. I am still figuring out the various features but am not sold on the upscaling as it seems to over sharpen most of the source material. Time will tell if my opinion grows stronger but I like most of what I've seen from this device.

I love this thing! It does what every other streaming box does but better! Did you know that most streaming boxes dont support both dolby vision and dolby atmos on all your apps? Well the Nvidia Shield supports both of them on all the apps that use those features.

I like manycut cableba few years ago. I mainly used firesticks but had issues with buffering and loosing internet connection. At the end of 2019 i purchased this device for my main tv and has been beyond pleased with its performance and quality. I thought of the long term investment and ditched the firestick for my 2nd tv and made this purchase in Dec 2020. Im glad i did and would highly recommend anyone that cut cable or simply looking for a streaming device to go with this quality device over a cheap product.
