Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Highly recommended if you in the market for one. Quick and responsive. No slow loading like the over devices.

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.

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

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

very impressed with the unit. build quality was solid and easy to use and set up and the remote is very responsive. the interface is easy to see available apps built in as well as being able to down load from the play store. highly recommend!

Amazing especially with IPTV, no lag smooth it is nvidia

This is an essential device for streamers that value audio and video quality.

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.

I have 3,that should say something. Great great streamer with tons of bells & whistles that aren't just fluff. I do have one suggestion for anyone looking to buy Nvidia Shield, GET THE PRO MODEL. That extra bit of RAM makes a big difference imo. I've got 3 different models & the ones with more RAM offer a better experience. If you're looking for a streaming device & don't mind spending some extra cash on a quality product this is your ticket. I've had one for 5 years & have always been more than happy with my purchase. Go ahead, pull the trigger!

Amazing steaming device. Super fast and has every app available to download you can think of. The remote is easy to use. Plenty of customization.

Works really well. Moonlight streaming is a game changer for my TVs usability.

Nothing tops the Nvidia shield. It has consistently been the highest quality streaming device I’ve ever owned going on 6 years now. I’ve had an Apple TV and I’ve had an Amazon fire stick and nothing even comes close to what this device can do. I’ve never had any issues with it and it consistently works perfectly. Had an older version that never had issues upgraded to the newer version to put the older one in another part of my house and I’m loving it.

This is the best streaming media player you could buy. Very easy to set up and very fast. I’m on my 4 NVIDIA Shield and enjoying every one of them.

The best Android Box EVER!!!! This thing does it all Plays games Streaming Music Everything Get one NOW!!! The end

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.

Got this for my boyfriend as a gift. He’s very excited about the prospect of using it for gaming. Very fast compared to our old fire stick.

Very good device for android TV, fast, good remote, all the streaming services, best specs. Expensive thou, with an $50 chromecast with google tv you can basically do most thing as with this device.

This one is faster not sure it’s noticeable or not but it has atmos support and Dolby vision support not to mention the AI upscaling is a big plus!!
