    I bought the Shield mainly to stream 4k content and have my Plex server moved from a laptop to the Shield. Everything is working flawlessly and I love the speed and ease of the Shield. As an added bonus, the remote is great with backlights and an app to find it if you should ever loose it in your grandios sofa.

    This streaming device has it all. The upscaling to 4K is amazing and brings it above other streamers like Apple TV and Roku. The ports make it possible to add an external device which is nice if you want to use it as an emulation device to play old school games. Remote is an upgrade from previous model. Unit is small and compact. Minus one star for not having Xfiniity Streaming App support and high price.

    If you want the best streaming device Nvidia Shield is it. I own 4 of them at this point and I would recommend the Pro over the regular version. Even though there isn't supposed to be any processor difference, the Pro is a little snappier than the regular version. However, I do love them all.

    NVIDIA Shield Pro Best for Streaming

    We had a Pro Shield for at least 3-4 years [can't remember exactly how old] before it died. I tried to go cheaper and get the $100 Roku, but it didn't allow casting Youtube from our phone. There may be other things that it can't do, so I just exchanged it for the Shield. I paid the extra $50 for the Pro since reviews said the performance was better. It's easy to use, great performance, and love the device. The only downsides are the cost and that it may not last as long as Roku [have 1 in the bedroom that continues to outlast the original Shield]. If you don't need extra features, get the Roku for half of the price.

    I can't think of enough words to describe this little piece of tech. I've had for about a month now and I absolutely love it. There's nothing else that performs as well as the Shield TV Pro. I can really replace many things around the house. Some of the things that I've already started using on it, has been Plex Media Server, Gaming, and of course streaming. Don't let other streaming devices fool you. This product is worth every penny and it's future proof unlike my Fire TV Cube. Also, the device just works. I have another Plex Media Server and I take advantage of the full Gigabit unlike more FireTV cube. Oh and... the remote lights up when you pick it up and you can use Alexa to find it as well.

    This thing is a beast. It can do a lot of things. I have a external hard drive hooked up to mine and i put games and whatever i want with it. You can turn this into your own little Plex Server if you wanted to. In addition to all of the above it has all of your streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ect)

    Wow! Replaced Roku Ultra with Shield TV Pro and my OLED TV picture is incredible. Sound control also improved. The only downside is there lack of documentation of settings and high price.

    This is hands down the best streaming box on the market. All major streaming services work on it flawlessly and it also does cloud gaming and regular gaming. I also use it to run emulators and it does a great job. I love it so much i bought another one.

    This streamer is a great alternative if you don't want to use the Apple TV. The sound quality on my home theater system was much better when I started using the Nvidia Shield for all of my streaming and the AI video upscaling is also a great feature if you watch older videos that haven't been remastered yet. Another plus is since this runs on android, you can sideload many other cool apps. I was skeptical at first because of the price, but I haven't looked back since switching over.

    Nice update to the remote. This is my second unit for my other TV, but I have to say this is a power horse much faster than the apple 4k tv unit or any of the other similar units like amazon fire tv, roku, etc...I have tried tham all and this unit is the best amonth them and can handle 4k videos without a hitch!

    It has completely changed how i use my entertainment center; the remote replaces both my tv remote and my sound bar remote. The AI upscaling is also amazing. I already want another.

    Nvidia Shield Pro alone in class

    The upscaling got my attention, Plex capability set the hook! Day 2 using it, blown away at the quality. I travel a lot for business and recreation, so I can throw this Nvidia box in a suitcase and connect to any tv wherever I go, or in the RV, and have my whole entertainment library with me. As there should always be some room for improvement, I am a bit irritated that Nvidia is too cheap to spend a couple nickels on the plastic and include the stand shown in the item pics, but no, apparently that's an added purchase. Seems a bit tacky to be so petty after charging $200 (for an otherwise bargain device). I am confident that many of my friends will be buying these after they see what the are capable of!

    This is still the best Android TV streaming device on the market. The controller is backlit which makes it easy to use in a dark room. Nvidia provides very long software support. The AI upscaling is a great.

    The nvidia shield TV does everything you need from a media streamer. It upscales content very well. It's fast and has access to the google.play store for all the apps you need. Nvidia provide's updates and adds new features. It's over powered for what it does but it will last for years.

    I have used quite a few different streaming devices in the past and I can say for certain that this one is the best. I feel as though this device has more options as to what you can do with it in terms of streaming, gaming, and even casting from other devices.
