Customer Ratings & Reviews

What an amazing machine. I finally went beyond firesticks for streaming, downloading, recording. The Nvidia has become my server for my entire home network. Fast network speed and amazing picture quality. It does the job so much faster and efficiently compared to my other media, streaming devices. It talks to all the rest of the devices on the network with no issues. I am so impressed with all of it's capabilities.

Most smart TV's, even the high end ones, have pretty laggy interfaces and apps run pretty bad or have limited support on them. This thing, while getting a little old on the hardware side, still runs incredibly well with the android tv OS. Apps are snappy, you can side load apps if you want, and its perfect for streaming with things like steamlink or plex.

Simply the best streaming device on the market. Does HDR, Dolby Vision, and has AI upscaling which makes crappy old content look really good. Also I love the remote!

So...I have been waiting to buy this device for a while. It has not disappointed. I would be happy if it was just the AI up scaling but there is more. I have a three year old Vizio TV and have been somewhat unhappy with the picture quality. The 4k at times is good but not great. When i plugged in the NVIDIA Shield and put on the up-scaling I was shocked at home much better everything looked. One of the things that I had a difficult time with is the plex media server. I have a large data base of movies from my collection that I have digitized and trying to get them loaded to the device with my hard drive was one too many hurdles I wanted to contend with. Other more savvier tech people could probably get it figured out quick but I'm still just going to use Plex on the shield as a player. The remote can be a little funky at times. I'm still getting used to the ff button and the play button looking similar. It has all the apps you could want including library based media apps that have some good free streaming options as well. I highly recommend this product.

Best android box on the market. Would recommend to everyone

Works really and highly recommend and thank you so much

The Nvidia Shield is great for streaming. A Forbes of mine setup the shield with all the apps I need for our IPTV setup. It is very easy to navigate through the menus, and it runs flawlessly. It is extremely nicer than other streaming devices I have had in the past, and plan on buy a couple more for some of our other televisions. The box itself is nice and small, and can be put any where.

Awsome unit and crystal clear and lightning fast…. Hands down the he best steaming system on the market. Plus it’s great for gaming too! I think I’ll buy another one very soon!

This is my second one. My first got hit by lightning. I use it primarily as a streaming device. This is the best product on the market for streaming that I have come across. I have used many firesticks and fire tv's and while those devices work for the most part this out performs and just work so much better. My first one I got 6+ years out of so it worth it.

Works great. Get higher speed internet connection than my very expensive Sony smart TV, great picture & fast interaction! Only 1 gripe: In this modern age, I still have 3 remotes to connect everything.... Haven't found a decent, workable solution.

If you are in the market for a new Smart 4k Television -OR- a Streaming Device this should be your solution. Television solutions quickly get antiquated software and suffer from packet loss even with a wired ethernet connection. Chromecasts, Firesticks, Rokus, Apple TVs they all cannot hold a candle to the QUALITY and VALUE the NVIDIA SHIELD delivers. It is a Top-Tier streaming device that provides a visible 4k upscale experience to compatible content. It allows you to play retro game systems including gamecube flawlessly. The built-in network mappable storage and plex server support will have you master of your digital archive in no time. This is the greatest streaming device you can get.

NVIDIA has been beyond expectations. My son has Apple, and I wanted that ability. Even he is impressed. All works well with ARC TV connections and a Samsung sound bar. Impressive picture on a Sony 4K. I love that I can choose AI upgrade to 4K on anything I view below 4K. You can use the menu to choose AI upgrade, and that is fast and easy. Netflix offered 4K UHD for more money per month. You do not need it, This NVIDIA pro does it all, easy. Small profile, it sits as a small unit. For your favorite programs, very easy. Netflix and Prime easy set up. We are cutting the cord. FYI Easy set up, Easy menus, and move fast to new programs

Fast and very good quality compared to the slow fire stick, but a little too pricey.

Great product but already got good Hisense tv 4k Dolby vision HDR ai upscaling it already has so dont need it. But great product

Great streaming box for the whole family. Comes with free games (controller soled separately), fast and responsive. Awesome remote upgrade when compared to previous models. If you don't have one get one.

Nvidia Shield Pro is the best streaming device out there in my honest opinion. I have owned Chromecast, Firestick, Firestick 4K, and another off brand Android Box. This device blows them all away! It has a decent amount of internal storage, but you can add external flash drives, or hard drives to it to expand your storage space. It has Google Chromecast and assistant built it and you can download apps from the Play store or sideload them. I love the AI upscaling. I'm not much of a gamer but the streaming games on here are supposed to be phenomenal. It has a very unique remote that has buttons which light up when it senses movement. All around great Android streaming device.

Excellent player actually I have four of them in my house and thanks to Best Buy. I had a little problem with the shipping but store fixed it like it was nothing thank Best Buy for that. if you’re looking for a media player, I would definitely stay away from the Fire Stick definitely go with the Nvidia shield. You can’t go wrong with this super quick media player

I felt bad when I brought this because of the price. I hoped it would be a great experience and it is. This is a powerful device and blows my Rokus and Firetvs away. The price is insane and they should have a budget model. The menus are snappy Android TV should be a standard. Easy to configure and works perfect with my HD Homerun and allows me to view DRM copy protected channels over my cable card. This gives me a full tv experience with my Cable channels and my streaming channels married into one device. This is the best streaming OS I have ever used and I have used both Roku and Firetv for years.

Also have the 'other' 4k device. After dealing with issues between Plex off WS2019 server (16-thread VM) and unplayable input lag over Steam (fully Gbe local throughput) with recommended controller, decided to give this a try. Wow! Not only does watching content on LOCALLY RAN Plex outdo a 16-thread server, the upscaling on full disk rips far exceeds anything the 'other' 4k could accomplish. Using Steam with the additional Nvidia controller is playable over WIFI with better performance/less lag than the 'other' device could do over wired. If we didn't have as much of the other ecosystem in the house as we do, this would be our only device needed and still be able to accomplish more.

The one reason, and a very strong reason, to get this streaming device, specifically the pro version, is the AI Upscaling. I watch mostly sports. This upscales 60fps content to 4K, and it does it incredibly. I couldn't believe the quality. You can do a split screen demo mode that shows with and without upscaling. I know it's expensive, but I have 2 huge 4K TVs and this makes streaming content virtually 4K quality. I highly recommend for this reason.
