Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it best ever wouldn't trust no where else to get it from.

I had the 2017 pro version which I sold so decided to upgrade to the latest model. I will say that the 4k upscaling is a nice addition, other than that I don't really see a big difference in performance from the previous generation. I do love the new remote that accepts AAA batteries. Gaming is also a blast on this device, emulation works perfect and you can use xbox one controllers. Will most likely get one when they go on sale again.

I now own 3 of these, one for each main room, this device is worth the money. Especially if you like to Game Stream (Steam Link) from PC to big screen w/ controller. The ease of use is amazing, video quality is superb! 4k w/ HDR and Atmos sound is flawless! Price is a little steep for what it is offering, but that is what happens when the competition is horrible in the Android world.

Most capable streaming device, able to keep up with any task, marginally better than Apple tv 4k, the only device in it's league at the price point. Absolutely optional upgrade as older pro version does everything this version does sans sub-4k upscaling, and single-layer Dolby vision support. If not interested in these features, skip this release and hold onto previous gen shield pro. If looking for center in media consumption, this device is a must have for the savvy Android user, all others, see Apple tv 4k

I had owned the 2015 version of the Shield. It didn't support Dolby Vision bur was a really good Android device. When the new 2019 came out, I bought one on the first day. Wow, nice improvements: Faster menus/system Dolby Vision support AI based new upscaling The Dolby Vision is great but the new AI based up scaling is incredible! Turns older videos into almost Blu-ray quality. Great Improvement!

This is still a streaming beast. In my opinion it’s still top dog in the genre.

I have owned apple tv 4k, roku ultra and fire tv4k and the picture quality in this far exceeds any of them. The true test is when you ho back to watch older shows and see the upscaling to 4k. Older shows have never so beautiful. Between that and the dolby audio make this worth the price if you want the best picture and siund quality when streaming.

A great little streaming box. I have always loved Apple TV boxes as they are the best in terms of peformance and smooth experience. I still think Apple TV is the best out there. Coming to this nVidia, compared to the stock android OS built into TV's with mediocre SoC, this thing will blow every other Android based TV OS out there. Didnt buy this for gaming as I purely wanted a great TV experience. Like the phone double clicking the home button will take you to the apps manager where you can close unwanted apps. Built in Plex server and USB ports and flexibility on how you can connect to the connected storage from your PC etc makes it a great home based media server as well. I am not sure how much Netflix pays nVidia for that shortcut button on the remote, but thats the biggest problem. Its wayyy toooo close to the volume buttons. The buttons you tend to use the most in any remote. So look forward to launching Netflix often when all you wanted to do was control the volume. I have thought of disabling that button completely as I dont have Netflix.

Excellent streaming device I recommend this device to all of my family and friends. You can’t beat the speed picture quality and performance. I’ve been purchasing Nvidia products for the past five years. I have not had any issues with there products. If you want the absolute best in the game choosing Nvidia is your absolute best option.

Hands down the best streaming device on the market. Full 4k HDR, Dolby Vision capability with first class AI upscaling of lower resolution content. All hi def audio codecs, Dolby Atmos and DTS X are supported. It even has gaming support as well. You get what you pay for and you get everything with the Nvidia Shield. Word to the wise get the PRO. DON'T get the tube version for less!!! It has performance issues but you can't go wrong with this one

Absolutely has changed the game on my Entertainment room and makes using plex easier

First - Don't get the NVDIA TUBE version, you will regret it! This unit replaced my older Shield from 2017, which is still awesome and in the bedroom now. Plus I couldn't resist the sale and CC bonus points :) TV/Sound = SONY 65" 850F w/ Definitive Technology Studio Slim soundbar + ROKU Ultra x4660 as backup. If you have the 2015 or 2017 Shield, not much of an upgrade if your TV is in the mid tier. > Powered by Android, so you can do alot with it... > From 2017 unit to Pro, identical built and software + new updates like AI upscaling, DV, and new remote. You can buy the new remote for $30 for the older Shields. Not much of CPU speed increase from 2017. > The enhanced AI upscaling is really good on older content (720P + anime) but on newer stuff, you probably won't notice it. > Awesome game emulator. Tons of classic games to relive your youth and get a portable HDD or USB flash. The storage is < 16GB In a nutshell, if you have an older Shield - stick w/ it and get the new remote. The only unit I think that goes head to head is the current Apple 4K TV in streaming content but the NVDIA Shield does soooooo much more due to Android OS plus NVDIA is still doing updates on older Shields!

This is by far the best streaming device of them all. It is fast, has options on top of options, or just use it with defaults. Amazing improvement in the picture quality on streaming 720p and 1080p live tv streams compared to built in apps on most smart TV's. Only thing missing is Fox Sports 4K/HDR on that app, and some HDR formats on Youtube, but that is the fault of the app, not the shield. Highly recommended.

Can't really say anything bad about the Shield Pro. It plays all of the major streaming apps in 4k with Atmos. I added several game emulators and it easily syncs with multiple controllers. The remote easily paired with my 4k Samsung TV to control the power & volume. If you are looking for the best all around Media Player on the market, look no further!

I had the previous shield and decided to upgrade to this new one after getting a new 4k TV so I could make use of the Upscaling the new model has and its been great. The upscaling really does make a difference and its good. You can have a good amount of detail without losing clarity which is impressive. the new remote also feels solid and I like the inclusion of the netflix button since we watch a lot of netflix in my household.

So glad I made this purchase. Huge upgrade over roku or firestick with zero lagging. This box flies. Upscaling to 4k works great.

This is by far the best Streaming box I've owned. I also own two 4k Apple TVs and this is much faster and responsive overall, with a great upscale for non-4k media and a really nice, quality feeling remote. The reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that it runs on Android TV, so it doesn't have the best interface, and sometimes it won't wake up so I have to disconnect the power to reboot it. Overall, it's a really nice unit and if you use Geforce Now or Steam Link in-home streaming, it's a MUCH better choice than Apple TV (which won't even allow Geforce Now).

Absolutely the best streamer hands-down – I installed the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, and it’s simply unbeatable. The interface is lightning fast, and the AI-enhanced upscaling delivers crisp, lifelike 4K visuals—even from HD content. It handles everything from Dolby Atmos audio to Plex servers with ease, and the built-in GeForce NOW gaming and USB ports for extra storage options give it unmatched versatility. There’s nothing else on the market that blends streaming, gaming, and media hub functionality this seamlessly.

Already had the tubular nvidia shield and recently purchased a projector, so I decided why not try the better one now that it's finally back in stock. No regrets the 64 bit android interface has colors that pop out more and upscaled content looks better. Both are very fast but this one is noticeablu snappier. I am not disappointed with either of them and neither will you, but if you want the best of the best this is it.

This is really amazing the quality to watch anything is clear and beautiful, thee porcessor is fast and design pretty, the remote control I love it is comfortable I’m really recommended
