Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this new version. Had the previous version. This is faster. Love the remote and the fact that there is now a power button. HDR+ and Dolby atmos are excellent updates.

The absolute best streaming device ever!! Plays everything I throw at it from my HTPC. 4K, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS HD master audio, DTSX, everything!

This baby is about to get Android 11. nVidia knows what they're doing - this is simply the best set-top media streaming device you can buy. The original 2015 Shield is STILL getting updates. This supports full 4K with all the sound codecs (including Atmos and DTS-X). Tons of options/settings, and this even uses AI to upscale 1080P to 4K (honestly I can't really tell the difference). Pipes HDR to your TV... This does it all. Small gripe - why the weird shape of the remote? It just doesn't feel right in my hand.

I grabbed the Shield TV for retro game emulation as well as streaming video from services like YouTube and VRV as well as from my Network Attached Storage (NAS) device/server. It works great and is powerful enough to play not only retro games but a good number of Android games for those interested. I use my XBox One controller for gaming, which works reasonably well. I will say that unless you want to stream video from local storage or emulate retro games on your TV, this device will be much more powerful than you need. You are better served buying a Google Chromecast with Android TV (for full Andoid app support), Fire TV stick (if you are a Amazon Prime subscriber), or a Roku stick (to be able to access the most streaming and live TV apps without the fuss).

If you are looking for the best streaming device, look no further. This is it. Pair this with a game controller of your choice and you have a gaming system as well.

Fantastic and worth every cent! We had a long term problem with audio dropping from Direct TV and streaming services. I replaced virtually everything from the TV to the receiver (all high end), same problem. Direct TV came out and replaced the DVR, same problem. The NVIDIA Shield was recommended by a friend, installed the Shield in about 2 minutes and the system works perfect. ATMOS and surround work better than ever and now all the streaming services are available with one click. I wish I would have learned about this a few weeks sooner!

I love the customization that this provides. Once set up, the speed and RAM is perfect for 4k viewing and video games.

Best streaming box hands down. I’ve owned a lot of different boxes. It works almost flawlessly. This is my third box. I prefer the Shield. Worth every penny.

Best Smart TV addon to any TV you use every day...

Awesome device! So easy to use. The remote is sleek, simple, and feels good. Powerful enough for all of my needs.

A little expensive but compared to the others it’s the best

I recently bought a 4K Samsung smart TV, and while I was generally satisfied with the picture quality, there were some performance issues with certain apps. I wanted a machine that could, at a minimum, process Netflix 4K shows and movies without artifacts, but I was also interested in streaming games from my PC to my TV. For this purpose, the Shield Pro was the device I settled on. While Android TV has some quirks compared to Samsung's Tizen OS, I feel that the positives greatly outweigh any issues I've had with it.

My first Android TV experience was the Nexus Player (which I was actually very happy with until Google bricked it with an update). That experience got my interest peaked, but I knew I didn't want to have to regularly purchase a replacement every few years. I did my research, and lo and behold, I stumbled upon the 2nd iteration of this beast of a entertainment option. I was at impressed with quality of performance & the frequency of support and updates, that when it came to purchase another (and even make recommendations to friends and family) the Shield was a no-brainer. Very satisfied with 3rd generation, as well! No contest!

The best andriod TV ... fast process and good picture... I really love it

Great media player and supports all audio codecs for home theater. I hope nvidia makes a newer model soon.

This is a HUGE step up from a Roku!!! Very easy to set up and use. Love the remote

Remote is horrible. Really sucks. Shield itself is good. Love connecting a wireless keyboard. Love installing a couple apps i couldn't install on my Sony Bravia.

Excellent product. Works great on wifi without buffering.

Not to much of an upgrade to the previous Nvidia, It's slightly faster then the previous one. The best part of the pro is the remote much better that the other one, It has a off button plus a better volume control and a shortcut to Netflix button.

This is the ONLY streaming box I use. It works great and the only time it ever has to buffer is due to our less than optimal Internet speed.
