Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tons better than the current 4K Firestick. If you have the Klipsch WISA wireless reference speakers setup do the following or you will have intermittent audio issues: Manually set your Shield to only use DTS, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD. The audio dropout, clipping, popping and speakers swapping places all started after the last two LG TV firmware updates. Most apps support Dolby Digital and DD+, but I’ve noticed DD+ will work on Netflix, but not on Disney +. HBOMax has audio issues if you have Dolby MAT and Dolby Atmos turned on.

Amazing streaming device. I purchased the Shield when my TV's onboard smart software was starting to lag and take forever navigating. The Shield's processor makes quick work of switching from app to app as well as streaming playback. I have a 1GHZ internet connection directly plugged via a CAT7 ethernet cable into the Shield so this thing moves! The design of the remote is also very ergonomic and has good hand feel. Will most likely buy a few more to outfit every TV in the house!

The Nvidia Shield makes streaming easy. The voice navigation makes finding the program you want to watch easy. The color quality and upconversion to 4K is excellent. You can download and install any streaming service you want. The shelf is regularly updated to enhance the user experience. This is definitely worth purchasing.

This is first Shield product that I've purchased from their line up. While not the Pro, it most certainly delivers Pro experience, especially compared to the Fire sticks, and Fire TV Cubes. It's a remarkable piece of hardware, and has expandable storage, memory, power and speed. It's simple to setup, and upgrades automatically. I know now that all my next streaming devices will be Shield products over Fire TV. If their one caveat it would there is no proper stand.

Works great , the upscaling is second to none. At times there is a lag if you turn it on after 3 weeks or so but thats understandable.

Love it!! Has everything you need! Great processor and 4k available

Great product for streaming. Reason i gave 4 starts is it does not support apple tv and ATMOS .. i am having hard time playing netflix movies with atmos. I will have to change audio to original each time i play a movie or episode. Hope Nvidia fixes it.

There have been a couple of software bumps but the updates seem to have cleared the issues. SIze is cool and the picture quality and speed of the interface is unreal.

Even though it does not have any USB ports like my Nvidia shield does. It is just a powerful. I am very pleased with this item.

Great streaming device. Very fast and I really enjoy the AI upscale feature. Makes all my 1080p shows really pop on my 4K tv.

This is fast! If you want to use another remote, this item will only do Bluetooth. But the remote included us good but just be keyboard. Overall, great device

Excellent speed, options and useability . Connection speed on WiFi is surprisingly good. Easy to setup and you are ready to go within 5 min.

I've used Roku, Amazon Fire sticks and smart TV's and none of them have preformed as well as this shield. More consistent Wi-Fi connections, picture is awesome with the upscaling and navigation is quick and smooth. Just wish it had the Apple TV app available. I strongly recommend the Nvidia TV Shield if you want to get the most out of your 4K TV.

I purchased this to replace an obsolete Amazon Fire Stick. After 2 months of use, I will say I am quite pleased with the overall product. The iOS app is user friendly. The best feature is the audible alarm you can activate from the app which allows you to locate the remote when the kids lose it. The device is noticeably larger than the Fire Stick but is compact enough to hide it discreetly to prevent from cluttering up your entertainment center.

This is my second NVIDIA Shield and I purchased it to replace my FireTV Cube in my bedroom. I knew that it would definitely out-perform the Cube because....let's face it a 25 year old Compaq PC could out-perform a FireTV Cube! So I have to compare it to my other Shield and it certainly is an improvement. The resolution is better, process speed improved, and the remote is soooo much better. The simple fact that it takes AAA batteries instead if button cells wins me over, not to mention the fact that the buttons are back lit.

Works great all apps run fast on the software. Updates are right on point and great picture quality

The AI upscaling is amazing. That alone is worth upgrading to this version. Much better remote than previous version too.

The upscaling is as most people say pretty nice. Tends to freeze for 5, 10, more seconds when using voice search or in some Apps. HBO Max I've noticed is more frequent than others, but not exclusively. Also significantly slower than the built in apps on my 2020 model Sony TV. The Shield is several years old at this point -- so I guess not entirely surprising but for the price I suppose it should be refreshed yearly or at worst every 2 - or lower the dang price after 2 or 3 years! If you don't care about the upscaling look everywhere but here. (Well the new Chromecast is garbage also, if surround sound interests you, but I digress.) Unsure why the rave reviews over the remote. I mean it's generally fine but the Netflix button is annoying as all get out. For the price there need not be advertising buttons at all, but it is flat with the remote (all other buttons are raised) and for me at least is exactly where the bottom of my thumb rests when poised over PLAY. As such when I move my finger to play I often inadvertently end up opening Netflix, ditto for moving down to rewind. It IS backlit but should be able to locate and use the FEW buttons without worrying about it.

Very impressive streaming solution. It's definitely on the pricey side but the capabilities of this unit are insane.

Great buy, its one if the best streaming sysyems currently. I stream movies, live TV and games. Use a wired internet connection for best and fastest sevices. Less to no buffering.
