    Was waiting for the pro but decided to pull the trigger on the non Pro version - no regrets. Same PQ, same SQ, and sits hidden out of the way behind my TV. Only streaming player that passes all of the new sound and picture formats. Only downside is HDR from youTube which is about the only thing I use my Roku Ultra for these days...

    best streaming box for video quality especially 4K upscaling and for audio quality. Fast processing, smooth scrolling of interface. Would be nice to have mute button. Also would be nice to add a couple of buttons to learn IR commands.

    I had the Firestick and upgraded to the Shield TV. The Shield TV interface is fast, customizable and does not have any annoying banner ads like the Firestick has. With the AI picture enhancer there is a big difference in picture quality over the Firestick and those pixelated black boxes that appear during dark scenes have disappeared.

    Nice value when you want Android TV, but don't want to spend the extra money for a game console. Wish it had more memory to install more apps.

    Strong processor coupled with a 1GbE network pot standard push the abilities of this device for cord-cutters to the next level. I use this for content streaming and it does not disappoint. It costs more than other devices in the category, but the enhanced functionality in many cases will prove worth the investment.

    I have the original shield pro and love it. Kids are always using it so I needed a second one for my non smart TV in my bedroom. Works just like it should. Synced with my original shield and downloaded all the apps perfectly. My son asked me how am I able to watch TV on that old TV? I laughed.

    We recently found out that Samsung doesn't support the tv we bought only a couple of years ago and we can no longer add apps to our TV. The salesperson recommended Nvidia Shield - and we are so glad he did! It was much less than buying a new tv and works perfectly! We highly recommend it!

    The Shield players are more expensive than most of the other brands, but make up for it with their performance. If you are looking for a device for Plex streaming, these are the best players you can find. They can direct play far more formats than any other plug in device.

    I loved my last Shield TV and this one is the fantastic. Lots of positive things to make the experience better. Controlling the TV power and volume, light up buttons, remote location via the app or a button on the main device.

    Tired of the limitations of other streamers, took the plunge and purchased Shield TV. First, the picture quality zooms up to reveal details and colors without introducing noise. Even the quality of sound became more definitive. Big bonus, the non-technical wife can operate with ease!!!!

    Chromecast had been my "go to" casting device for a few years and it served it's purpose. One day I said to myself, there has got to be more out there. Boy was I right! I ran across this little guy and shifted to another dimension. I had been sitting on a lawn chair on the moon when what I really wanted to do was go galavanting through the galaxy. That's how big the difference is. I know that for the gamers this is now old tech but it hits the mark - no - created a NEW mark in my viewing experience. I highly recommend.

    I think overall its pretty good. The upscaling is very good. The performance os just ok. A roku Ultra has a much faster interface than this that lags occasionally. Performance isnt the best or worst. It has most services but not as many apps as roku. But this is my primary stream device and like it so far.

    The Nvidia Shield does an amazing job of improving in accessing your content and upscaling it to 4k. My only issue with the device is the design of the hardware as it's a very awkward design with cables sticking out of both ends making it difficult to set in a clean position on my TV stand.

    After buying a few android boxes over the years and never satisfied I thought I'd try the 2019 TV shield. Well I am more than satisfied, this tube rocks. The only thing missing is a usb port, but I was able to find an Rii mini bluetooth keyboard which works flawlessly with the shield.
