    This is the second most powerful streamer on the market. If all you want is to stream video content I’d go with this one. If you want more power, USB ports for additional storage, gaming/emulation I would definitely go with the Pro model

    I primarily got this streamer because of its sound pass- through capability. It's the only one that will play Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio lossless sound when ripping up a movie from DVD and streaming through Plex. The Plex app that is fully supported on this or the Pro device. This head's above any other device in that respect. The only problem I have with it is that I do have sound cut outs. Usually streaming 4K material from different stream providers.

    Easily the best streaming device you can buy. The only reason to buy the pro would be if you're playing games locally. The Ai upscaling takes your HD streams on YouTube and Netflix and makes them look almost 4K

    I've always used Roku... Saw this and thought it was interesting. Now I don't use Roku at all! It's a million times better in every way... Just wish it had the AT&T Now app!

    If you're into streaming, and can use these for their true benefits, nothing is better than the shield! Its pricey, but its worth every penny. I'm into IPTV, and kodi and APKS, and if you are too... nothing is better

    Great streamer. Snappy, and picture output/upscaling is amazing. Remote is a little awkward shaped, but you get used to it. Cooling fan is a bit loud at times.

    Great Media stick. Handles all the streaming apps, and local content codecs, as well as streaming video games from pc. I've got an original ShieldTV, and this is basically the same thing, but has a weird tube shape. One great upgrade is the internal power supply, which means no brick sticking out of the wall. makes it much more portable if you want a media stick to travel with.

    This is the second shield I've bought the first model is a shield pro. Both work very well with my Google home setup. I can voice control things like turn on or off the TV or which channel I want to watch.

    Do yourself a favor, do NOT buy the Firestick (we all hate it in this house) and go buy one of these! Can do all the same stuff as Firestick but a million times easier to use! Trust me....you won’t regret it!

    Nvidia Shield keeps being the best android tv device, personally the best improvement since the version 2017 in the “AI upscaling”, it makes you image to have a better resolution.

    I upgraded to the new nvidia shield and immediately noticed how fantastic the upscaling worked The only drawback is when you attach HDMI Ethernet And power cord They stick out the sides, making the tube much bigger then it should be.
