Picture not as crisp as Apple 4k. Returned to store and kept Apple.

not worth the money. Main reason I bought it is to stream my PC games to my living room TV with the Nvidia Stream, which is unfortunately being discontinued. It was a great value until Nvidia decided to pull support for game streaming

After 3.5 months, it started to fail. It would reboot on it's own, freeze videos and then proceed to throw up static screens constantly on Plex or YouTube until a hard reboot, and it would regularly unpair the remote. I've had to factory reset it 8 times since I bought it in September to get it to work correctly again, if only for a little while.

I ended up returning this because it isnt running the latest OS and seems dated. I think Nvidia has abandoned these devices. Thank you Best Buy return policy.

Didnt work with gaming controller. Wanted to cast from my pc.

I get it... The box is great for PC to TV game streaming, I guess... but for average usage, my Apple TV was a lot more trouble free and comfortable to use. I have had several issues with sound not working, which seems to be isolated to this box. It's also very picky about WiFi connections, but works good over ethernet.

Worked great initially however started crashing on me a lot while streaming shows/movies. Ran multiple troubleshooting steps and got it to work semi consistent. Last draw was Chromecast Built-in did not work with my Oculus Quest. Overall great product to streamline all streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc)...when it worked.

Very slow and laggy, my older one downstairs is much better

Love nvidia shield… hate that Best Buy tried to pass off an opened item as new. This seems to be happening too often from Best Buy. Was I not supposed to notice the broken seals that were put back together with scotch tape?

Upscaling not that great. Geforce now and xcloud marginal up scalling.

Enjoyed using my SHIELD for over a year without issue until this week when they added huge scrolling home screen adverts. This is what you expect from cheap USB streaming dongles not premium $200 set top boxes. If this is not resolved in the next update I plan to sell this and avoid Nvidia for future streaming purchases.

This device does not support HULU! There is absolutely no fix. I have spent countless hours on the phone with HULU and Nvidia customer service and both companies have come to terms with and mutually agreed that their technology is incompatible with each other. To spend $200 on a device and be unable to use arguable the best live streaming TV app (HULU) on the device is beyond unacceptable. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I can't really see the difference between this and the 4k firestick.

At the moment HBO Max does not get 5.1 Audio and they say that is being worked on by one team. Amazon Prime does not get 5.1 Audio and that is being worked on by a different team. And ATMOS audio gets pauses or breaks and who knows what is going on there. The support isn't beyond silly things like switch your cables, etc... The Amazon Firestick is a far better choice if watching movies is your interest no issues with anything on that. I regret this purchase.

I was most excited for this to use with the Xbox and Playstation apps. It was incredibly sluggish and felt like very old tech. For this price, I can get a mini PC and install all the same stuff and more with more speed.

I got this mainly to run Plex client because of the wife range of audio supoort. I can playback pretty much evetything on this device.

Works as expected. Comes with less than older models for the same price.

Unfortunately I have to say that my Roku looks and sounds better and app like Crunchyroll freeze all the time.

It works good for what it is but it's not as user friendly as say a fire TV stick or an android box. For one thing it won't let you install simple apps like Play on TV which is not compatible with it. I would recommend android box or a fire TV over this and they are much cheaper options.

Used it for my samsung 56 tv it's kinda bulky and in the way they could of done it smaller and simple to use it looks great but to BULKY!!!
