    Buying the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro was one of the best decisions I have made. I was skeptical if I needed it given my TV's built in Smart TV functionality. However, this box has brought my 4k TV to life. Not only is it extremely responsive and pleasurable to use, the AI upscaling is far better than any I have seen before. Watching upscaled 1080p content just looks beautiful on my 4K TV, and I no longer feel like I constantly have to hunt down 4K versions of everything. The AI upscaling alone has made it worth the purchase. Everything else feels like a cherry on top. The box is sleek, visually appealing, and discrete. I would never go without this device on my 4K TV.

    The Nvidia Shield is the most powerful streaming media player on the market. I own several different types of devices, fire sticks, Rokus, chrome casts, Apple TVs, etc, and this is by far my favorite to use. I like that it has a usb port for me to watch media from a flash drive or external drive. It is a bit pricey, but worth it.

    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.

    The Nvidia Shield is, in my opinion the best device out there for streaming sand playing games on it is great as well. I still have the 1st gen Shield that I use as an NVR for my cameras. I don't use it as a Plex server, but is perfect for that. It's fast and responsive and the fact the Nvidia is still supporting the older Shield is a huge bonus. The new remote has buttons that are much needed from the older one. However, I would prefer that the remote be a candy bar shape.

    Still the best streaming box in 2023

    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.

    This is my second device - feels the same as 2017 version. Works well with my Sony TV. Like the new remote much better than the old one. Very fast and responsive. Have not tried as a Plex Server yet.

    This is the best Android streaming box you can buy. You can stream just about anything you want with the best quality from Dolby Atmos and Vision. It's super fast with no lag at all. Totally recommend this product.

    Love it! I am able to stream movies, TV shows, and even games! Easy to use. Very smooth in comparison to the built in UI my Samsung TV has. Recommend it for sure! The upscale to 4K works awesome!

    good upscaling

    This is pretty expensive compared to other smart sticks but it does upscale to 4k. The 4k upscaling is really good on netflix and other 1080p content, looks great. you tube tv it works well but not as well, it looks improved on ytv better than original but not as good as netflix.(maybe 1080p upscaling is better than 720p?) Another feature is gamestream, which is useless if your pc is by your tv as a corded connection will always be better, but if its in another room then its a good feature. There is no mute button on the remote, but it works with alexa if you enable the smart skill. Not having a mute button is annoying. I guess you could use your old remote or echo/google if you have a speaker. the main reason to buy this is for upscaling or gamestream, it does both well, its also snappy fast, much faster than your smart tv.

    Great Android Box

    I no longer pay for regular TV. I stream everything. This is the best affordable android box on the market. If you have a lower end 4K TV this box will do a really good job up converting lower resolution content. I have two of them and they do not disappoint. It also has two USB ports on the back where you can add stuff like a aftermarket keyboard remote or other things. I have WD 8TB hard drives plugged into mine loaded with hundreds of movies and television shows. There is only one thing I dislike and that is on Nvidia's last update they put in annoying advertising on the main page. It can be removed if you google it.

    A niche device

    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 ;)

    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.
