Customer Ratings & Reviews

This newer model seems to operate smoother than my old model that stop working. That's why I purchased this pro. It gives me accouple updates that I did not have with my 1st Gen addition. Nvidia Shield is still the best streaming box out. Love the new remote I hated the watch battery on the older model.

Definitely the best streaming device out there. It can stream, do DVR recording (with added memory), cast form devices and play games. All without breaking a sweat. With this device you never have to worry about the software on your smart tv being outdated. Other streaming devices are still trying to catch up with this one.

best andriod tv good speed 4k and can play games. win win.

Best streaming and game box on the market cant go wrong

Just picked up this version as an upgrade for an older unit. It works great, as expected. The Shield performs above and beyond any other streaming device I’ve seen. Aside from a performance bump, the most noticeable upgrade is the remote. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design and functionality.

What can I say... this used to be the best media streamer device you can buy and it was worth every penny. I bought this device specifically for its simplicity and power. I have my own media server at home and it was able to play everything I threw at it at the time. I also enjoyed playing games directly from the device or by using Nvidia Gamestream. Then they added Google Integration and everything went downhill.... -With Google Integration came ads. This began slowing the device down and there is no way to turn this feature off officially. The ads that would appear had absolutely no relevance on what I would watch. Sometimes very inappropriate ads would even display. Not good when you have small children that use the device to watch shows and movies. -Gamestream was retired by Nvidia, and this was another reason I bought the device. I enjoyed being able to stream my games from my PC to the TV, and it had very little impact while gaming. People will say to just use Steam to stream games, but I experienced nothing but lag and glitches when playing games through Steam. -Newer codecs are not supported on the device, like AV1 or HDR10+. Dolby vision is sometimes a hit or miss. -The device is outdated (2019) and there are cheaper alternatives that can do what the Shield Pro does, and so much more. -Constant freezing is now the new norm. Search Shield Pro forums and you will come across numerous users who have this issue. Resetting the Shield to factory defaults fixes the issue until you upgrade the shield (Google Integrations), then the freezing starts all over again. I moved away from the Shield to an AppleTV and could not be happier. I feel like I have control of the device and can configure what content appears in the home screen. If you do not mind the issues that come with the Shield Pro, then by all means go for it, but I would not pay the current price ($199). I would wait for discounts or sales to kick in, but the device is really only worth $99 now. I personally would not buy a media streaming device from Nvidia again.

This is an incredible device. I have switched to using this for all my entertainment. I watch every show and movie I desire. Every thing is available. I’m also amazed at the gaming that is available, I’m not a big gamer but any title you can think of is available. Also very easy to use. Setup was easy.

Very impressive streaming device. Very responsive and almost no lag when changing apps. 4k video and Dolby Atmos. Remote is awesome- able to program receiver and projector with one remote.

This thing is awesome, I love it. Still trying to figure out how to play games on it. I just need a day off to mess with it.

Great for streaming apps and games. Very fast speeds.My grandson is so happy.

Best streaming device on the market …and it allows side loading of 3rd party programs…that alone is worth the purchase price..

Best streaming device, period. Supports lossless audio, so from Tidal/Amazon HD in full lossless Master playback to MKV back ups of your films with full support for DTS Master HD and Dolby TrueHD tracks, which other streaming devices do not support. Plex server runs great for your home use, but not recommended for transcoding externally. Two USB ports allow you connect external hard drives to playback media. Make sure to setup drive properly within settings and Shield will then creat a Nvidia Shield folder on the hard drives for you to place media files that it will be able to access. Google TV interface works very fast with the Nvidia processing.

This thing is very fast, and a plus is that it has built in ethernet and plenty of usb ports. I have this running as a whole home distribution tv system attached to my in house cable set up and it works flawlessly on all tvs in my house. I wish I bought this years ago. One thing to note though is that the remote is very awkward to use and to hold, I guess is a love it or hate it thing....no biggie I just bought a more standard remote to use on it. I have no other issues to really note. Very stable system compared to the TiVo Stream 4k which does NOT include Ethernet which I would HIGHLY recommend using for any kind of tv streaming. Android TV is the best in my opinion and has plenty of things you can do with it. Highly recommend!

It's the best on the market. There are many adjustments and options to provide a clear sharper picture and better sound. The best sound my A/V receiver has ever had and the best picture my TV has ever had. Everything loads fast. It's awesome! I was using Firestick 4K before I purchased the Sheild Pro.

Should have purchased this ages ago. Very happy with the easy of setup. Very fast getting into the apps. So many uses for this device. I was able to setup the Plex server and connect to my Synology NAS to stream music and movies. I got this to replace the Amazon Fire Cube (first gen) and glad I did.

Needed something for streaming services since our FrameTV has lag problems. Works seamlessly with our soundbar and TV and is still quick/snappy.

This does everything you could want it to. You can stream PC games from your computer or the cloud, you can upscale 1080 & 720 res video to seem almost like 4k from most any source, you can use it to emulate retro games, and android games. I bought another one for the other TV in my house because it worked so well.

Love love love. The AI upscaling is cool. Looks amazing. Love the remote. Only complaint is that it buffers sometimes. Not my internet speed. I have a gb network. Also, use ethernet connection. I do use mesh so could be switching from 5gh to 2 gh when it gets congested. Not sure but it's no big deal.

Perfect clarity and great streaming. You will not be disappointed!!!

Super easy to use! Been a muli-year firestick user and had no problem transitioning over. The AI upscaling helps with our projector since we have a large room and our screen is larger than the recommended size (120 in to our 200 inch screen)
