    If you've got a 4K setup this is the streaming device to get. Plus, it passes-thru/handles Dolby Atmos and the other high end audio formats. It can also handle Dolby Vision. The only item I would change is the size of the remote (and get rid of the Netflix button as I'm always touching it accidentally). On the plus side, the remote lights up so that's a very good thing.

    In my opinion this is still the best way to stream apps. Speed, ease of use, versatility and quality. I use YouTube TV, YouTube, Plex, Disney plus. Consider us extreme usage. Had our first unit for 2 years bought a second for the bedroom. Highly recommend.

    AI Upscaling is amazing, but low storage

    This is such a great streaming device! Super fast, Geforce Now is awesome. Only complaint is that there isn’t enough storage space - you’ll run out very quickly. I need to research if I can expand it with an USB hard drive or flash drive because of it.. AI upscaling is super cool and 1080p footage almost looks like 4K

    We love the shield. Upgraded from the Fire devices and this blows them out of the water. Faster, more support! Using this with our 4k TV & love it. We use this for netflix, hulu and Amazon Prime 4K content is stunning. The black levels are great, the picture is great. Fast start up and cool down. Really pleased!

    As a streaming device this is very good, but there are some issues with streaming PC games that need to be worked out. The biggest issue is that I have a lot of problems getting disconnected from the PC in the middle of a game when using the GameStream application. I can usually reconnect in 30 seconds or so, but nobody wants to spend 30 seconds reconnecting mid gameplay especially if you are playing online. This only happens with the GameStream app however, the Steam Link app works great and I never get disconnected from that. When game streaming does work properly it works great with excellent frame rates and graphical fidelity. I can stream in 4k or 1440p and get the same framerates I do when playing directly on my PC. One issue I will note however is that I can't stream games in HDR as my computer monitor does not support HDR yet my TV does, unfortunately the PC sees my monitor doesn't support it and greys out the option so I can't use it even though the actual screen I am playing on does have HDR. I do have 4k support on my monitor so I am able to stream in 4k, but while I haven't tested it I suspect people who don't have 4k will be limited to streaming at their monitor's max resolution rather than the television's max resolution. That said there is still a lot to like about this device, as a streaming device the AI upscaling makes it one of the best, if not the best, streaming device on the market. Overall it is a very good device, but if you do plan to use it to stream PC games be aware that there are some very frustrating bugs associated with that technology if you are playing anything that is not on Steam.

    Simply an amazing android TV, with a really really good remote. I use this constantly for netflix, disney+, peacock, google movies and music. Very responsive, super stable with excellent wifi reception, and again remote is fantastic with great voice command recognition & easy connectivity to other devices. Highly recommend, although the regular version is nearly as good.

    Sheild TV > New TV

    Honestly really happy with the Shield. I have a TV from 2016 and the interface is soooooo slow, its was aweful. But now with the Shield TV its INSTANT, when I use the controller there is an immediate response on the TV where as on my Sony TV I have like a 10 second delay between clicks. The major feature that I wanted was the AI Upscaling which is nice to have as well. Although it is a slight sharpening affect you do notice it and it does make things look a little nicer IMO. Finally, I really like that I can use it as a Plex server. This means that I can off-load the task from my main PC and not have to worry about turning my PC on to use watch movies on Plex. Definately recommend

    I got this on sale but even at full price it's a solid buy. Currently using it with a Geforce Now 3080 subscription and it really does play games at 4K 60fps with practically no lag and no visual degradation. Use this with a wired Ethernet connection for best results.

    Nvidia Shield TV Pro

    A great streamer. The primary motivation for buying this product was to get around my LG OLED TV’s N wireless adaptor, and it’s 100MB Ethernet adaptor. The shield has AC wifi and a gig Ethernet port. I was really down on LG for putting network adaptor technology that conservitely was replaced 10 years ago. A AC adaptor and gig port maybe would cost them a couple of bucks today. I found out that most TV brands are still built today with those really slow components. The justification I’ve read is Netflix and most other streaming plateforms only require speeds of 20 meg or so, why bother. Bother because I’ll think about it next time I consider dropping 3 grand on a TV! The Nvidia shield works great. It has apps for just about everything, including HBO MAX which my LG TV does not! Substituting the Shield TV in place of the TV’s smart apps provides a better Home Screen and interface for content. The hardware is attractive enough to show off, however small enough to tuck away. The remote control is Bluetooth so line of sight is not of concern. The streaming quality of 4K UHD content is excellent, and while I’ve trashed LG a bit, the 77” OLED display is to die for. The shield has a good processor, but since I don’t game, I’ve read it is a bit overkill for my purpose. It can run a Plex server, but it appeared to me that any storage for content needed to be attached the the Shield (i.e. no network drives). The Plex client app worked fine with a Plex server elsewhere on my home network. I was slightly disappointed that if your choice was to use a Emby server, the client app will cost you a modest fee. The Nvidia Shield TV Pro is an excellent product. There are less expensive alternatives, but for $200, it’s likely best of breed.

    I first bought the little brother of this device due to that was all that was available & it was awesome, however I don’t know how it would get better, but it has, the Pro version is more powerful & there hasn’t been any hiccups & it has performed great, would highly recommend to anyone. The price is a little on the high side, however you get what you pay for.
