    There is nothing I could say that hasn't been said already. This is the best you can get as far as a streaming device. Very easy to use this android box and you can play games with the Nvidia game remote sold separately. Get you one you will not regret it. Cut the cord!

    So my case isnt normal but I'm out in the sticks and DSL is the best I can get so streaming high def isn't happening but with the upscaling it's much better. I did however return this for the pro so that I could use an external hard drive to store my library.

    I have the older version of the Nvidia Shield and decided to try the newer model. It is smaller with the same excellent graphics with the option for a ss card. Will recommended this device to all my family and friends. Outperforms the fire stick in every Category.

    Great smart media player with excellent AI upscale and love the ecosystem that nvidia brings to the table, everything works speedy fast, just every once in awhile when I play a 4k movie on plex sometimes it freezes and boots me out. Besides that it’s pretty powerful

    While the device works fine in almost all cases, if you are wanting to do anything with Plex/Kodi/Emby, and especially 4K HDR content, you should definitely get the Pro version. With less RAM and only 32-bit app support, I was getting constant lockups in aforementioned apps, and spotty 4K playback of HDR content -- even in apps such as Netflix. Extra $50 eliminated all these problems.

    Bought this to reeplace broken 4k roku but I returned it to buy the newer 4k roku with the misssing remote button. Roku's os just seems better, or maybe im just used to it Very expensive Weird design Not user friendly (it is, but its not as easy compared to roku)

    I love the NVIDIA Shield. It was good 4 years ago and it's still good now. Each iteration has gotten better. The remote is finally good. I love it. It's got a lot of power in a small package. This is my favorite streaming device by far.

    I really wanted the pro, but they were sold out. However I’m completely happy with this. It’s fast and I got it to turn the tv on when it wakes. Also it works with seemingly all formats, now I can stream Twitch and even Facebook from my phone/tablet to my tv.

    I really love the functionality and menu layout. Very fast and super clear picture. Could definitely use a more detailed setup guide on simple things like how to open the remote to get access to the batteries and to program to control the tv.

    The Nvida Shield is one of the best video streaming devices I have used. It's fast when it comes to connecting to streaming services and its AI mode that upscales regular dvd and bluray is the frosting on the cake. For me it's just the best.

    Great for streaming games and movies, minus one star for subpar Plex implementation. High bit rate 4k movies have issues in native app. Otherwise, awesome overall little streaming tube, just wish I had went with the pro model for the extra gig of RAM.

    So this device basically puts Android on your TV. It has all the multimedia and streaming apps you could dream of. But while many devices and and built in TV app provide this, the Nvidia Shield TV offers GeForce Now game streaming on your TV. Basically, GeForce Now allows you to stream many games on Steam (that you have purchased) to your TV without the need of a gaming computer, or any computer at all. As long as you have a good internet connection, it works great. Just a small subscription fee per month (also works on phones!!) That's my main use but it also has a built in Chromecast so that's cool. Works with 4K HDR content so it's great for media lovers and gamers .

    I have used Amazon and Roku devices for years but this blows them out of the water. Faster performance, no ads, play store access and it just works... Should have switched years ago and will be replacing the remaining devices in my home.
