    I came from using a FireTV Cube. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the device. It's very fast and responsive. However, it's pretty expensive. I think it's only really worth it if you're going to use all the features, including game streaming. Speaking of game streaming, it works surprisingly really well - both with the remote service and to local PC. If I didn't use the game streaming, I would have a hard time recommending it over the FireTV Cube. The Cube streams very well and considerably cheaper.

    Solid box, great performance, keep getting updates for years. I had 2015 and took me time to sell it. Now I have 2017 and 2019.

    There is a tremendous difference with upscaling, both sound and picture is amazing. The speed is also lightening fast. If you are on the fence, make the plunge.

    Better product than ever with slightly less value

    I got this to replace my dead 2015 Pro model and it works as good as that version with the added benefit of better audio support and AI enhanced upscaling. Unfortunately Nvidia removed the 500GB hard drive making this essentially the 2017 standard model with slight enhancements (at the same price as that standard model). While that does make the 2019 Pro model $100 cheaper than it's been in years past, you now get substantially less storage and no game controller, which was included in all previous models at the $300 and $200 price points. That being said, the Nvidia Shield Pro Android TV continues to be the best streaming box for home theater enthusiasts and the updates in the 2019 version make it even better in that regard. The 2019 models are however worse for people looking to game on them.

    Amazing product. I always used the Firesticks in the past but heard about these and I am extreamly happy i bought one. It takes streaming content to a whole nother level. It also supports GeForce, android online gaming platform, with a lot of good games. Very fast device, easily add ecternal storage and can even connect VR to it

    I love this. As soon as I heard that there was a version of the shield coming out that had support for Dolby Vision, I had to get it. I now use it for almost everything... TV (Google TV with OTA broadcasts), streaming (Netflix, Prime, etc..), and streaming from local media server. Pros: Light Up remote, Dolby Vision, find remote feature, faster UI response, decent Geforce Now streaming performance. Cons: Wish it had a bit more storage.. Like 128GB SSD or something. I would expect that to be cheap these days to build into the unit.

    NVIDIA Shield random reebot

    This streaming device was great for about 1.5 years. It started randomly rebooting, which would then turn everything thing else on and raise the projector screen. Apparently this is a known issue. NVIDIA support had me trouble shoot for 2 weeks and then sent a new power supply to test. When that didn't fix the problem, they had me return the device and sent a replacement. Just got the replacement yesterday. Hopefully this one doesn't also have random reboot issues.

    Finally broke down and asked for this for my birthday, and wish i would of done it sooner. This is one of the most stable devices i have used, and now i am hooked.Ny only wishes are that it had more storage and my old tv would just always stay on the HDMI port so i didn't have to switch it every time. Though that should be resolved if i ever get a new tv. ......oh what's up with showing the device alway on a stand but not including it?!?!?!

    Bought it back in 19 and now again in 24. Nothing can beat this device at this time. The power and ease of use is fantastic. The upscaling is unmatched. Fun and easy Android TV that allows the play store and game streaming.

    You get what you pay for and for 200.00 you get it all. The AI upscaling is amazing. Way better than other devices I've used that have upscaling. Easy to setup whether you're a beginner or advanced user. The Shield TV Pro has a sleek design. Its small and can be placed anywhere. There are a few different mounts Ive seen thatll let you mount it almost anywhere. Nvidia also makes a stand to mount it vertically. The remotes shape fits comfortably in your hand. Storage can easily be expanded if needed. Have yet to find any cons.

    I purchased this unit after the previous unit broke. It works as advertised and delivers better viewer satisfaction than the Fire TV units I have used. I only wish the Netflix button were somewhere else, out of the way. This is the fourth Shield I have purchased. I hope these will last until an upgrade to the Shield Prfo 2019 appears.

    I bought the Shield Pro to replace a 1st gen firestick, and the performance is night and day. Im a huge fan of how 720p-1080p signals are upscaled, making HD look that much sharper. Its a powerhouse - this thing handles everything you throw at it like a champ.

    The best TV box I have bought, Although the price gives the quality. I like the rescue by artificial intelligence at 4k. Also that it has USB ports, the speed of opening applications is fast. Steam link runs very smoothly. It is only a little slow when turning on the TV, through HDMI CEC the Chromecast is much faster. The same problem as the Chromecast Google TV opens a Netflix profile with a password from the cell phone, I suppose it is a lack of integration on the part of the Netflix app.

    The Nvidia shield plays an excellent part, as it plays through all your apps with a quick and easily accessible speed. It also allows you access to easily tinker with it as well. Being able to have more avenues available allows those who would like to personalize the ever growing technology to their liking. I purchased it once and the strength of the equipment can take us through a decent period; also it's Nvidia so.. Excellent take the chance then do the dance.
