Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was watching Netflix and YouTubeTV on a 4k vizio TV using my Xbox Series X for the last 4 years because I didn't like the Vizio UI. The difference between that and watching the same quality on the NVIDIA Shield is literally night and day. Blown away. It's like i have a brand new tv.

If you do not want Roku or FireTV but want one of the most powerful streamers this is one of the better choices. I really like this but decided to return it due to a Android limitation on High fidelity audio (note other streamers have the same issue I later found out.). A very robust remote, circle control takes a few days to get used to. Does allow some streaming gaming. Small form factor and better connections than some streamers.

Fantastic streamer. I like this streamer better than my Roku box and the backlit remote is useful and lights up when you pick it up. Roku take note!

This device is older but it works very well. I needed something that could stream full quality 4k movies with Dolby Vision on Plex and it fits the bill. The ethernet port handles 1000mbps too which makes a big difference in speed and connection quality.

The KING of all media players is back. If you have a previous generation of Shield, this is likely not worth upgrading to, however I needed a second Shield, and this thing is AWESOME! The best media player there is hands down. Nothing handles video formats like the SHIELD, and the Shield PRO even has new tech to upscale your SD content. If you have a 4K HDR screen, and want the most flexible, and dependable player, look no further. KODI runs LIKE A CHAMP, HDR video files, all surround sound formats, awesome!!

Have been contemplating this upgrading from firesticks, chromecast,native smart tv apps, etc, and now wondering whybinwaited so long! Noticeably better picture quality on all streaming apps, faster load times, absolutely no buffering. Have a large plex server library, which is the main reason I made the leap, and so happy i did. And with Best Buy's price match guarantee, i didn't miss out on the price drop that finally happened a month after my purchase, which I was waiting over a year for.

I also have the 500GB Pro model from before & it’s only slightly better in my opinion. The upconversion feature works but anything less than 720p gets massive grain so not worth it on that content my Panasonic 4K player blows this away in that department in fact Amazon, Netflix & Youtube content i all watch on the player instead. If you don’t have a shield at all I do highly recommend this for its streaming potential & the fact it supports Dolby Vision the main reason I upgraded. There is supposed to be a better processor in this one but I don’t see any difference between the 2 devices.

Can't find a better brand name android box than this here mini power house box that can do way More than just stream movies or game love this item

I got this to set up a Plex server and it really works great. Added a external hard drive and it works awesome. Set up was a bit confusing, had to watch a video but after that it was pretty simple

Love this thing. It’s super snappy and the AI up scaling works really well. The audio it outputs via Atmos is great too. Definitely recommend.

This thing is fast. I love the AI upscaling as well. It's much better than I expected. The interface is easy to use and Google Assistant built in is great. The remote, although an improvement over last generations Shield TV, still leaves a lot of room for improvement. The Netflix button should be programmable, along with a couple more programmable buttons. That's really know only nag. The price is a bit high, but if you want the best streaming box out there, this is probably it.

I love this device. Best tv box for me by far. Connect other tv apps, gmail, etc then the tv sheild is a monster.

I had a 380X tv box for about 7 years, I paid 30 bucks for it online. One day it refused to turn on, so I went to my local Bestbuy to buy another brand box, my firestick was way too slow and I had it in the closet. This is no joke, there was times that pressing a button that would take up to a minute to respond to the command, so I just tossed that piece of garbage to the trash. So, it had to be a firebox, apple TV or something. I saw the shield, looked at the reviews and they were great, but the price was a little too intimidating, then I saw that it had a video pad and free online games. I bought it. The first thing I did not like was that the remote battery died after 3 months, the Google play store no good, I couldn't even install Chrome, neither Firefox browser, I had to go to their respective webpage and I had to download a downloader to make it posible. But it was fast, very fast compared to the rest of my boxes. I could live with that. some of the free to play games(I don't buy new games) I played a few. Everything was tolerable until the expiration of its warranty expired, from then, it became just a piece of junk. Two years with minor and fixable problems. I started to notice that the free to play games were disappearing to count of only 3 games. The Wifi has been messing up very badly, I thought there was no way the shield was failing, so I just kept calling Spectrum almost every 12 hours, until they sent me a technician and he found nothing wrong with my connection. It is just hateful to be watching a game and all of the sudden your streaming ends abruptly out of no reason. I kept blaming Spectrum, I couldn't believe my shield was failing like that. Until I waited for it to drop again, I ran to my laptop, ran a speed test, marvelous; i did the same thing with my son's tablet and the test? Flawless; I tried my cellphone wifi, and everything was just fine. I ran a speed test using the analiti app. I ran the test and it was dead, no wifi(Disconnected, please try again later), I pressed the key to retest it and nothing, then the application gives you the option to reconnect, I did that, and it worked, three hours later it did it again, it became so frustrated that I din't know what to do to reset it. disconnecting from the power cable... thousands of times. resetting through the commands, thousands of times, the problem persisted. I factory reset it to see if there was a software issue, I had to download all my apps back again and yes, it seemed a little faster and worked with no problems the whole day, the day after the problem resumed like I did nothing to it. It became a piece of junk. Now, the it refuses to connect, it don't matter what I do, is dead after two years, 200 hundred dollars for two years of not so good service against 30 bucks for 7 years with a cheap tv box? I thing the tale tell the story itself. Buy cheap boxes, you may die by the fifth one and you won't spend the $200 dollars for an expensive piece of expensive junk. Now I have a beautiful black brick with no wifi. Thanks NVIDIA! Thanks for building a box which only last its warranty. I do not recommend it.

Best streaming deck you can buy! It also allows you to play games on your TV through NVIDIA. I usually use it for streaming.

Best Dolby Atmos streaming device you can buy,works amazing with my nakamichi 9.2.4 Dolby atmos sound bar and the Navida shield pro tv actually de codes all your new technology sounds like DD,DTS,True digital HD,exc…. It’s a powerful great device I will recommend this to anyone over firestick Apple TV anyone

Well worth the price works grate. I love it one of the best android Boxes I’ve used

Love this device. It is responsive and stable. I previously had a different streaming device and often got buffering, but not with this one. It is easy to set up and update. I recommend it to everyone.

Say goodbye to my firestick. This thing runs great, fast and outperforms any other tv streaming stick on the market. The price seemed high, but then again i also have 5, 6, or maybe even 7 firesticks in drawers, boxes and older tvs. I can see this device outlasting any firestick, making up for the money in the long-run

Simply the best streaming device out there. Use with all your favorite streaming apps. Powerful unit- streams your shows much more efficiently than the fire stick or Chromecast. Also, you have more customizable options to make your your Home screen your own and not just a bunch of Amazon sponsored ads. Make your streaming work for you. Get a Shield!

Overall it runs smooth, can install pretty much any android apps, and the AI upscaling is a noticable difference. My only complaint is support for Hulu is lacking so it sometimes gives errors when opening the app.
