Best android box on the market. Would recommend to everyone

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

Love this thing. I built my own media server using this So easy.

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!

Bought because my smart TV was limited to a 100 mbps connection. This has a gig commection speed, so the picture looks a lot better (no stair stepping). The only problem right now is that once in awhile the picture goes black once or twice in a day. I havent determined the cause. Otherwise, the device does what I want it to and it includes dolby vision and dolby atmos in addition to HDR.

Works really and highly recommend and thank you so much

The Nvidia Shield is my go-to streaming box. It supports all modern video and audio codecs, has excellent upscaling, and runs Android TV which is amazing. Plus you can host Plex on it! It's also super tiny and the remote is easy-to-use and has sufficient buttons to make viewing easy.

Runs very smoothly. I use it to stream videos from the sftp server in another room. I basically just use kodi as a file manager.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

Shield has been awesome, the amount of games you get for free is insane. Graphics are amazing and the Tablo that would not work with Chromecast (without feezing) works incredibly well on the Shield. Only issue I have is the remote, I have had it shut off twice for some unknown reason. The only option to fix is to reset it, unplug the shield, then plug it back in and wait.

If you’re thinking about getting this, stop thinking and get it. It is unbelievably amazing! Picture quality improves tremendously. I have it hooked up to a surround sound system and even the sound got more immersive. Highly recommend l

It's the best streaming box I have ever purchased. Even though it's older. The newer streaming devices just suck.
