This media player is really nice I should had brought this a long time ago the best media player box out there the nvidia shield pro is fast load up quick the A I scalding is very nice the video picture comes to life I love the nvidia shield pro I reccomend to buy for everyone great pro .

This is really amazing the quality to watch anything is clear and beautiful, thee porcessor is fast and design pretty, the remote control I love it is comfortable I’m really recommended

This thing is great the scaling can really good ,but sometimes ok. You get full speed ports on this so real usb 3.0 and real gigabit Ethernet which is excellent. They remote lights up which is a feature I sorely miss on modern devices. It also allow you to find the remote with the app which you will need to do as it is hard to find being matte black. The android apps are not always better than the roku's ,but you can get them or chrome cast from your phone. Also, if you are not a plex user I would choose this for plex support as I found it ok at best personally. Also, the old game exclusively for this device no longer work so... This is expensive ,but nvidia has been supporting these for year so I am not to worried. Also, if you buy the controller you can mirror the roku head jack feature. You can also just use bluetooth headphones which is not possible with a roku.

I've been using the Shield now for a few weeks. So foar it has worked great with no issues. Roku and ChromeCast generally have a easier to use interface, but you can do so much more with it. Makes for a great gaming console or a Plex server if you're willing to jump through the hoops and buy an external hard drive. My Shield is hardwired to my internet so i cant speak to its wifi capabilities. Has Dolby Vision and HDR but so does Roku. Great device but if you dont plan on gaming or setting up a plex server, i would recommend stick to a Roku or ChromeCast and save yourself a few dollars. I own all 3 devices and the competitors are far easier to use right out of the box of you're not a tech savvy person.

Excellent for Streaming, it manages all apps and it's easy to jump from one to the other.

This purchase was a gamble. I've been using the latest Amazon fire cube which deserves a 'sort of OK' rating. I bought this $200 replacement knowing I could return it if there was little improvement. I was also considering replacing the TV. But the result of plugging this Shield Pro into my system was stunning. The picture was brighter and clearer with no buffer overruns. It looked like a new, high end TV. I run a wired signal from the router into the Shield. The output from the Shield goes through my Denon AVR and into the Hisense U559H. After getting the CEC settings between the TV and the receiver lined up, everything works simply and cleanly. And it just gets better. Using remapping software, I reprogrammed the controller button labeled 'NetFlix' (which I don't use) to select between DirecTV, HBO, and Prime. If you're a tweaker, you can find many other Shield hacks on the internet. Have fun.

Great specs and usability over all. Super fast loading and super open game interface.

This is our third Shield (for the third room) because no other streaming device comes anywhere close to this. The performance, capabilities, user interface, remotes, casting, power and sound options, all of it is flawless!

The Shield Pro TV (2019) is simply the best streaming box available despite its age. The AI upscaling and the dolby vision/atmos were new features that warrant me to upgrade from the (2017) version. It also have little small updates within particular apps that I've noticed thats not in the 2017 version. I'm happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend!

The box is sleek, small, and looks good. The UI takes a coulple of uses to get accustomed to. As with all android devices, there are alot of options to personalize the experience and how Shield interacts with the tv and soundbar. The backlit remote with built in remote finder has already been very useful. If you do not have a premium HDMI cable, seriuosly consider getting one so you can fully utilize the high definition experience. I got this because our samsung smart tv is no longer able to navigate the menus quickly. This device is much faster than the tv ever was and the apps, movies, and games load and play flawlessly and fast. Zero regret and completely happy with this unit. If I had one request, I would ask that the power supply be usb and not a custom proprietary plug.

Easily the most powerful media box available at this time. Unless you use Hulu, which can't get 4k for some idiotic reason, but everything else is golden. 4K Dolby Vision? Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin and more got your back. Streaming services? You name it, it has them and it runs them smooth as can be. Unlike the Apple TV 4k or FireTV stuff, it does not meddle with your audio if you have a good receiver capable of high end audio. Just enable passthrough and you are good. You can even use this thing as a Plex Media Server (which has free hardware transcoding, unlike every other version of the server where you have to subscribe to get it) while using it as a Plex Client. And the remote is simple... but also has buttons that LIGHT UP. Why is this so hard nowadays? It used to be super common. A lot of people use your remote in the dark, make them light up.

I love this streaming box I had a couple of different streaming box, new ones and they still don't compared to this one even though it's "outdated" still preform better then most on the market

I own everything from Sling TV 4k to Roku TVs and have owned every Fire TV device at one point in time, also a few Android boxes. This is by far the most powerful streamer device I have ever owned. But wait, there's more! It's a full fledged Plex server as well as a capable gaming device. Adding additional storage is simple as plugging in a USB device and formatting, which is easy in itself because the device gives you a notification that external storage is connected, click the notification an boom, ask you if you would like to format it as system storage. The AI upscaling is cool, it definitely makes lower resolution media look better. You can pair any bluetooth headset, keyboard, mouse or speaker you want. The interface was my favorite until I got the new Google Chromecast TV device, which I highly recommend if you don't need all the extras and just want an awesome streaming experience.

This is basically a very high end android TV box, great for TVs that have aging, or no smart TV features. It has the power of a Nintendo Switch graphics (tegra+) and likely better, so natively it is quite the machine and I use for pretty flawless performance for an HD HomeRun with DVR and SlingTV. A Roku wasn't quite strong enough to run Sling without some snags and slowdown, this device has no slowdown. From playing games over stream (Geforce GO) to emulating other gaming machines, while I don't do those - they can be done. THe remote works great, it controls my TV and Soundbar (The roku could not do the soundbar) and it doesn't get any more higher end than the Nvidia Shield. Better than an Apple TV, Roku, Tivo, or any other device. It's performance is top notch, and it's surprisingy small, with one of the best remotes I've used.

Absolutely LOVE this device! It is so simple and literally plug and watch! You can customize it to your liking and set up is a breeze. I like how slim it is and how the remote can control the power for both the device and TV.

Hands down the BEST streaming device on the market! We have a higher end Sony A8H set and the processing on this is much better than the TVs set even. We bought a second one for our bedroom set as well. Love it. TONS of features and the response time is amazing with all apps versus the other streaming devices. Upscaling is amazing. You can even customize buttons on the remote. The green light on the box can be turned off too but it doesn't really "glow" onto the wall or anything annoying - I've yet to notice it at all in either the living room or bedroom at night. The remove has an accelerometer built in as well so when you pick it up it immediately kicks in the backlit buttons which is a nice perk.

Great device, Does everything I want It to, Ethernet port and ai upscaling is amazing. Very happy

This is so much better than my Fire Stick 4K. It is really fast at loading apps. The remote, controls the volume on my Onkyo Home Theater receiver and is back lit. The 4K AI up-scaling works great and I can add storage through two 3.0 USB ports!

Let's get this out of the way: $200 is a lot for a streaming box. That said, for $200 you're getting the most powerful streaming box on the market and, for fans of Android TV, basically the only worthwhile option prior to the release of the Chromecast with Google TV. The devices is snappy, the new remote is greatly improved, AI upscaling works amazingly well, it has support for Dolby Vision, and, if you're looking to emulate your favorite old games, this devices is as good as it gets for that. What more could you want? My only real complaint is it doesn't support HDR YouTube. This isn't a major loss for me personally, but some might care about this. All that said, while this is undoubtedly the best Android TV device on the market (especially for emulation), I would say the $50 Chromecast with Google TV is probably the better purchase for most people.

It's 2024 and no other Android TV device comes close to this thing. Why are you even looking at a Chrome Cast, Roku, Firestick, etc... Got a 4K TV with a terrible OS like WebOS? Or the manufacturer stuck a sub-par processor in it and the 4K experience is lacking? Then just get this. Tried and true since it was released YEARS AGO. I've tried the other solutions. They lack the performance to allow me to do what I expect of a modern device. I want to stream 4K HDR not just from your common apps, but from my PC in whatever format I have my videos in and not have a headache. I can do that by just getting the necessary app from Google Play Store. If I really wanted to, I could sideload whatever app I needed because I'm not LOCKED into any sub-par ecosystem. This is just pure Android TV. And it simply functions like an Android device should. Freedom to do whatever I want with the expectation that it should work. There's a reason why this is still sold today and hasn't been replaced with an upgraded model. No other product can compare because the "competition" is all cheap hardware.
