Does what its supposed to & more I was suprised about its ability to up convert quality of video

So for the price it works great but I wouldn't buy it as a box for your tv. For less you can get the 4k roku and you would be happy. Now if you plan on doing any gaming then you should get this. It has replaced my roku but I do not like the remote and there isn't a find feature if you lose it. The remote is backlit which I like but its design doesn't feel comfortable to use.

I connected this to my Samsung 4K TV, the apps load much faster on this Shield TV than they do when loaded from the TV's internal apps. The remote is well built and comfortable to hold. It is also very quiet - I didn't notice the fan kicking on at all in my experience.

The absolute best investment I’ve made in home entertainment period! If you’re looking for a way to cut out or disable Dolby vision and your tvs factory settings don’t allow for it, this is the answer.

Works great. Way better than firestick or roku. Pricey!

I'm not a gamer. I don't run a Plex server. I'm sure this has other capabilities that I likely will never use. I own 2 Roku Ultras and I am mostly happy with them. What I like: Availability of a decent web browser (Puffin) and up-scaling. What I don't like: the remote. Trying to use this remote by feel is extremely difficult and the Netflix button is easy to accidentally press when picking-up the remote. Although it's not the Shield's fault, the app selection for android TV is a bit skimpy. I have Spectrum TV streaming - no app. Vemo no app. Weather4US - no app. Those 3 are available on Roku. So I don't hate the Shield Pro, but I'm certainly not in love with it. For my usage, the Roku Ultra at less than half the cost would have been a better choice. To submit this I had to choose whether or not to recommend this to a friend - not a binary choice. If my friend wanted the added features of the Shield, then yes i'd recommend it. But if my friend used a streaming player the way I do, then no I wouldn't recommend it.

This has been my favorite streaming device. I have used all except the amazon cube. Nvidia has offered the most open selection while operating the fastest I just upgraded to this pro from the original and have already noticed much faster loading times

I have purchased 3 of these. One for each TV in my home. This makes every single TV look better. I have a Sony 950H, a LG CX OLED and a Samsung QN90A. All are stepped up several levels in image quality with the processing on this device.

We're always looking for products that give us great streaming service and this is the best so far! Alternatives to cable are improving all the time and a friend recommend NVIDIA to us. We are so happy with this item. It arrived promptly and is exactly as described.

the upscaling make 1080 content seem like 4k, def worth it, just get it

Best media streaming device out there! It can run other streaming services out there as well and there is plenty of sources online to get all of those working perfectly.

I mainly got this for Nvidia Gamestream, as I have an Nvidia GPU and was hoping to stream my PC games to my TV. But, Nvidia essentially cancelled support for Gamestream a while ago apparently, in favor of their new streaming from the cloud service, geforce Now. Like it essentially works by manually adding all of your games, but any new game is going to miss out on most of the benefits of Gamestream, such as HDR, auto game settings, and I think there were a few other things. One thing of note is Gamestream supports 4k, whereas Geforce Now maxes out at 1080p. There are other game streaming services you can use, such as Moonlight I think it was called, which actually worked very well and had a lot of options, or Steam Link, but at that point why pay $200 for this thing when you could get any cheap Android TV/any of the several other devices for way cheaper that offer that same functionality? I tested out streaming with just about every service, Rain something or another, Parsec, Gamestream, Moonlight, and Steam Link. I have a mid range wifi 6 Asus router, and my gaming PC has a wifi 6 card in it. This shield only has wifi ac/5. I tested them all in each different setting, wired from PC, wifi from PC, wired to shield, wifi to shield. Really, if you want a smooth experience with minimal stuttering, you pretty much have to have both devices wired. Having one or the other wired wasn't toooo bad, but you got a decent amount of hitching/stuttering. Even wired, you would think it would be flawless at that point, but there was occasional hitching, was very compressed, and there was very noticeable input lag. For the price of this thing, you might as well just get a game console, in my opinion. This thing has a Tegra X1 chip, which is essentially useless unless you're big into Android games. I'm not too familiar with compression/decompression, but apparently there is a new codec or whatever that is support to be superior, h265 I think it was. I tried enabling that in some of the streaming apps, and it didn't seem to work, it kept defaulting to a different decompression codec. So I really don't know if the power of this thing would help in decompression for streaming games. I've tried various devices in the past, and they all seem to have about the same result of being less than ideal in even the best circumstances, with a lot of compression and input lag. I really don't see the point of this. A lot of TV's have android TV built in anymore, and even if they don't you can get a cheap android TV or any of the myriad streaming devices they have anymore. There's really nothing Nvidia specific about this that has any real benefit. There are better options for streaming games from your PC. I think Geforce Now and all those streaming services are terrible, they will always stutter and have input lag, but that doesn't stop these companies from seeing dollar signs and trying to force it on people. Is Geforce Now available on other Android devices? If so, that would make this even more pointless. Even the stand shown in all of the pictures for this, you have to buy that separately.

I give it 4 cause it is working great.....but, and this could just be my crappy ISP also. lol Gaming is the issue I have...just alot of steps to get to actual gaming, ....I guess cuz I am new to this type of gaming system.....ubisoft, steam...myabe because I am not used to this type of gaming system..I love my PS devices..yes, all but the 5.

Great Streaming device that supports lossess audio forms (uncompressed Dolby Atmos/DTSX). Great 4k upscaler and very easy to navigate UI/OS. I pair one with my LG C1 to great effect!

Great item for replacing those Andriod boxes the big cable chains give you that stop working when you cancel their service.

Great streamer box. Lots of apps and they work well. The 4k upscale is pretty good, but its not a reason to buy for thatbalone

Everything about this is fanatistic except my remote volume doesn't have full control throughout the various apps. It's an easy fix by just increasing volume on TV higher to accomodate the lower shield volume settings.

Excellent stable device with multipurpose use. Everything works as should and compatible with all apps I need. With build in USB and Ethernet port, you can do whatever you need to do.

The Nvidia shield Tv pro is the best streaming device on the market today. Bestbuy has them in stock and everyone should get one. Love it

You want the best then you have to pay. Device response time is the quickest and you can play any video format also audio format with this device. Saying goes you get what you pay for and for this case its true.
