    It’s a great start for android tv, but the price is on the higher end but doesn’t justify the usage.

    Have had it for about three months so far works good more expensive than fire stick but definitely works better than fire stick. Use it for streaming mostly so far has been good. Use it with TV mate for recording was very easy to add USB to make room for recording.

    No streaming box is perfect and I’ve tried them all. I enjoyed the Apple TV for its features and smooth interface but the shield has the features for a home theater enthusiast. I use it for plex and enjoy being able to utilize all of the lossless audio codecs.

    This is probably one of the best purchases I've made for my entertainment center. Although I already had Roku built into my TV, I wanted more power and customization for applications like Plex, etc. I'm just satisfied knowing this will last a while and can be hooked up to any TVs in the future.

    Overkill for just a TV streaming box since it's designed to stream GeForce Now games, but that also makes it the best TV streaming option. Zero lag in menus, everything boots quickly, and streaming starts right away.

    The new remote makes the entire device worth it. I love this device! It's a nice upgrade over the previous generation that I used for many years. Nvidia is committed to support and upgrades too. The previous gen (2017) is still getting regular updates./

    Like a Smart Stick, but takes up a Power Plug

    Nvidia Shield is ok at best. Basically just transforms a TV into a smart TV with a few other things. The UI and layout is clean and easy to use, but for some reason, I was expecting a $200 'media player' to be more like a VSeeTV or Superbox... and it doesn't.

    The Shield Hardware is solid and well built. The options in the settings are absolutely over whelming. WAY TOO MANY CHOICES. Over a week in and i'm still trying to setup the server side.

    Everytime I heard how good Nvidia Shield TV is, now that I have it I can tell yes such a little device is so powerful, I have Plex server in local and another in remote location, it is the best Plex experience, image is so good no need to transcode. Also its menu work very fast even when you have many things open.

    I absolutely LOVE the shield. I didnt want to like an android streamer, most are garbage, but this makes everything look so crisp with the amazing upscaler. Plays great with plex, emby and kodi for all your home server streams. 1080p blu ray rips look 4k. I dont know how, but wow.

    This is a great media streamer. Plugging it in through an Ethernet cable makes this work at an optimum level. If you love to stream, this is your device.

    Total game changer for me. I've been using Android based steaming devices for over a decade now and just made the switch to the Shield Pro on a whim. I had a new android streaming device on the way, and when it got here, I sent it right back unopened. Best purchase in a long time for me.
