Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best streaming box on the market. It might be a little pricey but you will not regret the purchase. I have two of them and love them both. Have recommended to ALL my friends.

This streaming box exceeded expectations. The AI upscaling is a game changer for non 4K content.

Easy to set up. So much faster than my Android TV that's built in. Plex server was easy to set up. Comfortable remote. Huge jump in quality from my old Roku.

Just upgraded to the Shield from my original FireTV and FireTV Cube. More internal storage. Much faster processor. No lags with opening and running apps. Backlit remote is a nice feature. Very happy so far. Highly recommended.

Bought this to use on an already smart tv, but the integrated Plex app on smart TVs is pretty bad. This works fantastic for that and a wide range of other functions, and it does them all very well!

Great product lighting speed easy to use been using firestick this is way better hands down would recommend to everyone for gift wont be disappointed. Remote easy to use perferct for seitch ftom fyire stick

Very simple to use. Has powerful internals that you can even play video games on. Portable, so you can take it pretty much anywhere. I love this thing! The price is high but the quality is worth it.

This is more plain than the Apple TV, but it has everything we need. It's also a bit simpler to use, and with an excellent, more traditional remote. I haven't gamed on it yet, but it looks promising.

This is the best streaming device to get everything is great about it fast and picture quality is out of this world its up there in price but worth it

Very nice device, plays higher quality than your tv

It’s fast, really fast. Forget trying to load stuff on your tv or Roku or google chrome cast, this beats it by a mile. I love the multitasking view too, makes it easy to close and switch applications. I can even use the two USB ports for audio and extra storage. The NVIDIA shield tv pro also gives you a TRUE 4k image with phenomenal up scaling for sub-4k content. Only thing I’ll buy extra alongside the tv is this or an Apple TV 4K.

So right off the bat I had a handshake issue with the shield and my avr/tv. I was able to get that working. The shield does have some quirks, but so does every other streaming box. I still hands down prefer this to my previous favorite (roku ultra), and even over the apple 4k. If you want the most simplicity, stick with roku. For the best picture/audio quality, nvidia shield is where its at.

Unlike the cheap under-powered Android appliances, this one is not klunky or laggy. The remote control is well thought out and everything works as it should.

I’ll keep it short; this is a niche device and has a specific use. Two scenarios; First use case; If you are going to use it ONLY for streaming services such as Netflix, Max, Disney, Hulu, Amazon, etc, then I would NOT recommend this device. The latest ATV is miles better both in picture quality and app stability. Nvidia Shield does not even support auto frame rate matching on these apps. This means you will see judder on any 24p content, if your TV doesn’t process it automatically (most 120hz TVs takes care of it). Also it doesn’t support AV1 format, which means you get no HDR on YouTube. Second use case; You want to go down the rabbit hole. Install Stremio with RD and you’ve got a dream machine. Beats any device in existence for this use case and it supports any lossless audio format with Dolby Vision and HDR10. Also don’t forget to get smarttube ;)

Really enjoying this box so far. Upgraded to Android 11 and haven't had any issues so far. The operating system is snappy and easy to use. Ads are there on the home screen but aren't annoying as most people make them out to be. Build quality is great as well as the picture quality! Just purchased this device but am definitely enjoying it as you can do so many more things compared to an Apple TV. Nvidia shield you can sideload apps while on Apple TV you cannot. Highly recommend this item!

1st one I got through Best buy.com. Got a refund and bought another one that work fine. It is a nice streaming box, but I had to take a star away for the DOA. Find your remote feature is cool. But you need to download an app on your phone and make sure it is enabled. Lost one remote already.

Awesome box bought from an awesome retailer been with best buy for years from pc parts to consoles love this place and now nvidia shield 4k top notch

I have every streaming device. But this is my go to device for everything that isnt 4k. Its able to upscale 60hz content that is on the live streaamimg channel. The 2019 tube the cannot do this. Plus i was tired of the tube gui lagging. Shield cannot do vc-1 or vp9. Only roku, Google tv and fire tv 4k can decode vc-1. Apple tv cannot. Apple tv hands down best gui. The Ai nvidia upscaling is really that good to warrant a 5 year old device still being relevant.

I think this is probably one of the easier streaming devices to use once you learn the UI. Definitely prefer it over my old Roku Ultra. I did have one weird issue with it with my Samsung soundbar where audio was a little quieter than I expected. It appears to have its own volume setting (I found it within the Google Home app). Shield volume was at 47%, once i set it to 100% what I got previously at volume level 8 on my soundbar I now get at like a volume of 4. Weird issue but aside from that its ana amzing product and I would most definitely recommend it.

Great streaming device. I use it to stream mostly video content. 4K AI upscaling works great and Dolby vision content looks incredible. I would not consider another streaming device.
