    If you are trying to Cut the Cable Cord. This is the absolute Best device to have! Just put it in Your Cart right now. You won't regret it! I'm so glad after several Android Boxes and different Generations of Firesticks? I could have saved a bundle by using the NVIDIA Shield to start with! Just Buy It!

    This is the best streaming player money can buy. Alittle pricey but you get what you pay for.

    This thing is not for everyone. I bought it for the Plex Server and the AI upscaling. The AI upscale is basically an over sharpen filter (just max out the sharpness on your tv and it comes close) its seriously not that great. However the Plex Server is bananas! It does GPU encoding, multi stream (for the fam) and the overall speed is great. Most people that do not need Plex would be better served with a Google TV. The controller although good lack and input button so I STILL have to have the TV remote to switch inputs (for the price this seems to be a MAJOR oversight) The other INSANE letdown is Game streaming (THE ONE THING THIS SHOULD DO FLAWLESSLY) It is very hit or miss. I ended up installing moonlight (funny that a third party uses nvidia tech better than nvidia) In other words unless you need a plex server pass on this device.

    I bought this device in 2024 to begin with and I believe this model has not been updated since 2019 and unfortunately it shows it's dated. I was having issues streaming and stuttering and looking online feels like a lot of people have issues with. Also no reason for this price in 2024 for a 2019 model...if it was cheaper I kind would understand...but for this price feels like better options out there if your usage is mainly streaming

    Amazing media center, running kodi, however android OS still cripples audio quality over HDMI. If 2ch audio is your goal, then a decent USB DAC solves this problem. Aside from that, excellent little box for all your streaming needs.

    The Nvidia Shield with Android TV is the best streaming device available. The Google play store limits your apps but there are plenty of ways to get any app that you want. It is also great for game emulators and GeForce now. You can pair with a PS5 or Xbox controller. I got it on sale too.

    I bought this to do 4K streaming with Netflix, etc. but it can do so much more. It comes ready to run a Plex server out of the box, and it can even act as a NAS with an attached external drive. I have been impressed at how long Nvidia has continued to support add new powerful feature to the Shield TV.

    This was one of the first stores I had been in since Covid 19 started. I was impressed by the attention to cleanliness and social distancing policies BB had implemented. My transaction was easy and I was out in a short time. I really liked my sales consultant. He took great care of us. Thank you!

    Product is probably not for everyone. I got this with turing it into an emulation box, home theater an after thought. I love the product, works well with a dualshock 4 controller.

    Switched from an older steam link to this bad boy. Works great, it is hard wired to my network. No input lag using xbox one controller streaming from my pc in my office to the bedroom. Great product.

    By far the best streaming experience available. Also runs its own Plex server nicely. Live the Bluetooth options (keyboard, headphones, game controllers). Replaced the new Chromecast with Google TV with this and could not be happier. Supports any audio or video format you throw at it.
