Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pricey, but worth it! I got this to emulate Dreamcast and GameCube games. So far, I'm really happy with it. This thing is every bit the emulation powerhouse people say it is. I can't speak to the streaming features, as I haven't used them yet.

Nivida makes the best products to stream high quality compared to other streaming devices.

A fantastic media player. I primarily use it to stream local files from my NAS via PLEX. It handles every audio and video format I can think of, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. The only minor letdown is it does not support HDR on the Youtube app.

Overall great streaming device. Tons of options, and tons of apps. The biggest weakness? Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection quality is subpar, and the range is mediocre. I've never had a device perform so poorly with Bluetooth. So if you use BT headphones often to watch TV, skip this device. Besides that, it works great. I ended up return it, because BT connection is a must for me.

Futurproof smart tv OS replacement. I have 0 faith in all manufacturers to actually keep their OS updated. I have a slight issue with my tv and soundbar fighting over SEC-controls at random, but that's not the shields fault. If it could run a pihole that'd be great but oh well.

I bought this to replace an older, and failing, WD player. It was the best solution I could find to play .iso, backup DVD's. By installing Kodi, I'm able to do that. Everything works well so far. I took off a star because of the remote. It works fine but, the interface to Kodi is a little problematic. I'm also not looking forward to the button cell battery dying and having to chew the case off to replace it.

Initial setup can be slow due to the download of updates. Once it has been updated, though, it is a breeze to add channels and watch TV.

Best streaming device you can buy. 4k upscaling is wonderful apps are great. the remote that comes with is it awesome. dont buy the tube version just spend the extra 50$ on this one. This one uses a 64 bit OS so you can do emulation and use other apps tons better.

I’ve been using different streaming device, so far this is the best device.

Works great and as expected, second unit bought for the house

The hardware is more than adequate for streaming services. This device should have a long life expectancy for delivering quality entertainment for at least 3 - 5 years, depending on your personal use case.

Shield Pro better performance than Shield Compact.

Great console to game on. It seems to freeze up sometimes. You can add extra internal storage to it so it being 16GB isn't so bad. I have a Plex server running so I can listen to my music on the go without having to pay for a streaming service. It's a true media server when set up right.

It's great with my Sony X95K 85" and HT-A9, but can be flaky. Pro: Can output Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Con: No Netflix calibrated mode and flaky Plex application

I love for the most part the Nvidia Shield tv, but is a little hard to navigate with it. I press for a letter or number and it slides to one different from what I wanted. the shield needs to be more accurate.

the shield is a decent product for an older smart tv like mine however the 4k upscaling does not work as advertised... the remote could use some work as well.. like a home button and the netflix button is very sensitive.. otherwise this streams pretty good..

Works great. This is the second Nvidia shield I have bought. We enjoy the other one and it has all of the features we need, so I bought a second one to use in our family room. It’s processing speed helps resolve lag issues with streaming services played directly from the TV.

The shield works great, the remote is hot garbage.

This is the best android tv device for anyone interested in having a streaming device with gaming capabilities. The interface is somewhat clunky compared to the more refined interfaces like the fire stick and roku... But I'm ok with some tweaking. You'll enjoy this one.

easy to use and very expandable system and you only need one remote
