Customer Ratings & Reviews

Over priced, but the best streaming device their is. Value wise, it’s terribly overpriced being 4 years old for the 2019 version. However, I paired this with my Samsung QN90A and it upscales older non HD movies much better than the QN90A. I am able to plug in directly to router via an Ethernet cable. The UI is snappy as well.

I have a 32" tv in my home office that has Roku built in. I normally am happy with Roku but because it was a cheap TV, I think they did not put a very good processor in. It is slow. I also use bluetooth headphones with it through the Roku app and it would keep on disconnecting and when connected, the volume would go loud enough. I was tired of this so I researched and purchased the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. I've had the various streamers but this is by far the best experience. It is quick and has lots of options. I've connected my bluetooth headphones to it and the volume can get really loud. It solved all of my issues. I've also played some AAA games through Nvidia Geforce Now on it and it is pretty great. I'm using wifi and I have not had any issues. If you are deciding between this and the non-pro, I would go with the pro if you can afford the extra $50. The extra gig of ram will be worth it over the life of having it. If you are looking for a streamer purely for streaming video, I would look elsewhere because it is expensive. If you are looking for a streamer that is more like a phone or tablet in that you can play games, download apps, etc..., it is awesome.

Started out with a couple Rolu sticks. When it was time to graduate, I went with nvidia. The AI Upscaler is amazing! The backlit remote was a nice touch. I purchased a second device for my bedroom. Was a little intimidated by the technology at first, but nothing google cannot teach you.

I love this little shield so much this is my second one. I put it in my sons room after a covid scare and wanted him to be able to at least watch some tv. I have nothing negative about the shield (I still have an older one which gets updates) and in my opinion is the best streaming device around with some light gaming.

This is the King of the Hill for media players. One major selling point is, the player will upscale the picture quality on older, inferior recorded media. That means movies (for example) which is playing in 480 or 720 will look like 1080P. This is well worth the money.

I got this in hopes of replacing my much larger Windows 10 media center PC for my home theater system. I use the media center for my 4K and Atmos MKV files, but the interface is awkward on a 4k TV for hitting shares with Explorer. Not to mention the size of the box. Unfortunately, this has no way to simply browse SMB shares. I did try setting up Plex, since my 8 bay Synology DS1821+ can run Plex server. And it worked, mostly, although sometimes I'd have issues and stutters using this on the exact same movie files that had NO playback issues on the MCPC. I'll not I was NOT using this wirelessly, but plugged into a Cat-6 gigabit network. The video quality was excellent though, as was the support for dolby vision. I don't stream from any services other than Amazon prime maybe once or twice a year, and that worked fine as well, although just for that I would've used the built in TV app, my Fire TV cube, or my media center PC. My biggest problem is that I have such a huge collection of digital media now over the years, that Plex just doesn't cut it. That worked fine for my movie share and TV show share, but I have a "videos" and "cartoons" share that are just the files organized in folders, and Plex doesn't work well at ALL with, say, a folder called "Looney Tunes" with 400 individual files in that one folder. Hence my need to browse by SMB share sometimes. I ended up returning it, but that was due to my particular needs, not any massive failure or fault in the hardware. If I was a more "normal" person, this would've worked pretty well.

I’ve had the 2015 and 2017 shield tv. The 2019 shield tv pro is an excellent upgrade in that it has dolby vision and atmos native from Netflix and other apps. The best part is the AI upscaling which is as good as the tv can do for that content that isn’t 4K. Also, nvidia is constantly updating the firmware of these devices making them practically future proof.

Absolutely the best streamer hands-down – I installed the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, and it’s simply unbeatable. The interface is lightning fast, and the AI-enhanced upscaling delivers crisp, lifelike 4K visuals—even from HD content. It handles everything from Dolby Atmos audio to Plex servers with ease, and the built-in GeForce NOW gaming and USB ports for extra storage options give it unmatched versatility. There’s nothing else on the market that blends streaming, gaming, and media hub functionality this seamlessly.

We noticed a significant improvement in the overall performance of our home theater system when we switched our streaming from the tv to this Nvidia Shield. Very happy with this purchase. Expensive but worth the price.

Best media player that I've tried out thus far. Easy home page to navigate, very fast reaction time out of the device. Easy set up. Would highly recommend.

I was skeptical at first of how much I would use this as I had a chromecast and fire tv previously and never really used them. I was wrong, the nvidia shield just does everything I need it to and more. The remote is super simple, the apps are fluid and up to date and the streaming capabilities are second to none.

Proof all devices are throttled. I've owned them all and this device is older than any competitor and faster in 2025. Thank You Nvidia.

This is still a streaming beast. In my opinion it’s still top dog in the genre.

Absolutely has changed the game on my Entertainment room and makes using plex easier

Great product reliable,fast,alot of apps and great quality!

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.
