A:AnswerThey don't have a reason. The one from 2019 still outperforms what's out there. Software is constantly updated and it's better than my smart tv. When they do upgrade I'm buying the new one .
A:AnswerThe NVIDIA shield is 2019 versions with 2.0b not 2.1. The Shield cannot do 4K@120Hz, though a 2025 update enabled 120fps streaming at up to 1080p via GeForce Now.
A:AnswerNot natively. It is an Android TV Streaming box like Roku but better. You would have to purchase YouTube TV or similar streaming service to do so. It also can stream video games (With PS5 controller or similar) and has the current version of Android TV (14) unlike most other streaming boxes.
A:AnswerI don't see why not. It's the best streaming device on the market currently with Android TV 14 OS. Apple TV 4k is the only comparable with Roku Ultra running in 3rd. Roku is the simplest, but Shield is the most versatile.
