    If you want the top of the line. Get this. It really performs well. It is worth the upgrade. Controls are a lot better than on the past modes. For sure, get this if you have dolby atmos.

    I bought this to replace another popular streaming device that died. I don't know why this doesn't get better reviews, this streamer totally rocks! The remote lights up as soon as you pick it up. Button layout is okay but I no longer accidently launch apps in the middle of watching a show because I accidently pressed a raised button on the remote. You can actually turn this device on and off and the TV will turn on and off with it. Set up the IR and you will control the TV volume too! The app interface is from Google Play so just search out the apps you want rather than endless scrolling. Boom, done! AI interface is cool and it's a great media server!

    The latest model of Nvidia's Shield Pro is more than a few years old at the time of this review, but the interface is as snappy, if not snappier than your TVs UI. I was having trouble running a smooth Plex server on my gaming PC, but transferring it to this bad boy cleared up any stuttering I was experiencing, even with simultaneous streams.

    This is probably won the most best streaming box out there. Great 4K quality really easy to set up with Google . Really easy to navigate. The remote is backlit.

    2019 but still strong

    Is it becoming outdated? Yes. However, it remains a strong contender among home streaming devices. Although it operates on Android TV (Google's earlier version of TV experiences), it's still impressive. NVIDIA will continue to provide updates, with the latest in January 2025. Its wired networking capability gives it an advantage over other streaming devices, and its compatibility with Steam Link and XBOX cloud gaming is an added bonus for enthusiasts. In summary, it's a worthwhile choice for anyone who enjoys digital media and desires a device robust enough to manage just about anything.

    Works great using Plex 4K HDR content. Supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. I was not able to get other devices such as Apple TV to work with Dolby Atmos and Vision correctly.

    I haven't had it long enough to even sort of get a grasp on it, but I can say across the board, the "GUI", 'stock' for my 2019 65" 8600pua? it makes it look like... well what it is generally 1080p. With the shield it's 2k. I don't believe in calling "4k" 4k until 8k is the norm and then it can be 4k. I don't get why there's the exception/alteration when 4k hits the big time. But anyways. You touch the power button and it's on before you can say one word. Complete menu. I'll update after I magisk and plex it but don't get the tube or 8gb version. It sucks spending 250 for the controller and shield when I just bought a 900$ tv after-tax when I feel it should have (tv) performed this way from the start.

    Apple TV killer

    My wife and I have been die hard Apple cult members for a long time. We like the idea of keeping everything on the same ecosystem. It just works good when everything is made by the same manufacturer. After about a year of my business partner telling me I need to switch from Apple TV’s to Nvidia Shields I gave in and bought one. Over the past two years they’ve become our go to. I’ve bought 4 for myself and even have my parents on them now too. We love being able access apps like Kodi on a streaming box that actually outperforms an Apple TV.

    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!

    If you have a high speed internet connection and like to game as well as stream movies and shows, I recommend this. There is an extensive library of Steam and other PC game provider services available on it. You have to digitally own the game and have the GForce Now service, which is currently $5 per month. Check GForce Now to see what games are compatible. This machine is great, the user interface is very easy to use and it manages updates well. A big benefit is having all movie streaming services on one platform since Nvidia seems to be neutral territory and having them all work flawlessly. My PS4 hasn't gotten much attention since I bought this!

    A remarkable device that OTHER companies hurt

    As an Android box, it's almost peerless. Great for videos, emulation, all forms of Android gaming. But it's high hook is Geforce Now, and that took a MASSIVE BLOW when more then half of the companies out there bailed on the initiative. Most of the games you probably already own on Steam are now no longer available, including DOOM, Diablo, and Call of Duty. There's still plenty left, it's not like you can't use the service, but it's far from a complete list of PC games. When it does work it's great, assuming you paid the $5 a month. Don't bother with the Free membership, I waited for over 5 HOURS to try a single game before I was forced to give up, having spent 1 solid hour at #2 in the cue. It's still a great box, and if you're not into the service, then it's flawless... accept for the high price and low availability. I give it a 4 out of 5, just because of the hassles that are involved with owning on.

    Fully capable of being fully customizable, this is the most powerful streaming device anyone can ask for. despite having (potential) issues competing with their own product (costing $50 less) this is far and away the best at what it does. The 'upgrade' from the $150 version is worth it in every way, except maybe how much louder it runs. Easily missed when streaming, though, so I don't dock it for that. I hate the 'Netflix' button, but thankfully that's customizable with a 3rd party app. So much so that you can have multiple clicks do different things (short press/long press etc).
