Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great streaming device with added Plex support. I was having issues streaming my h265 movie collection on Plex from a Roku Ultra. Switched to the Nvidia shield pro and every works better. The device is quicker, ai upsacling is a nice improvement when watching YouTube TV, and has the option to be used as a plex server.

Great streaming device but has a few quirks that are not shared by other devices like Apple TV. Audio and visual quality is great but tends to take a few moments for audio to appear after pressing play or skipping. Most of the issues I've had have been patched out by updates but they do stand out. This feels more enthusiast focused since unlike the apple TV there are a plethora of settings that you can use to fine tune the experience. Not too hard to figure out but its not as user friendly. Happy with my purchase and has made my home theater better!

The NVIDIA Shield Pro is one of the best electronic investments we have made. We have a few of them throughout the house and we even take one with us when we're traveling. If you're looking for a streaming media player - get this! You won't be disappointed!!

We used it to cut the cord finally. There are so many streaming options available. The Shield is lightning fast and responsive. Any lag you may get is most likely from the App you are using at the time. I had used one of the old Google TV puck looking device made by Asus and this surpasses that thing by miles. If you are even considering getting one don't hesitate. Hardwire it into ethernet and stream on.

Shield tv is very powerful and well-built. Remote is great if you program it to work with your tv. Play store on here is better than what you get with the Amazon fire boxes. Shield is also very versatile and regularly upgraded. It's a bit expensive unfortunately, but if you can afford it, get it. It will last you years!

So far so good. Definitely not for the faint of heart. You do have to work at this unit to take advantage of things like Plex using a NAS, external USB storage, and lots of other (non-gaming) things. But I love the ability to bounce between apps like desktop Windows without shutting down the other apps. Remote very good. Online help not up to date for UI settings. Have 4 other Amazon 4Ks and definitely prefer this unit over them. Overall very good purchase so far.

Fast and Powerful streaming device, the best in the game! And love how the updates keep coming. The shield is hard to beat. Oh and you can play games too. Plex app has a ton of Android games. Its a smart home hub, media player and gaming box. I love my Shield!

I had all kinds of rokus and stick to stream from my server but all struggled with 4k content. This thing doesnt care what its playing. It does it and doesnt skip a beat

great and powerful device! we used it run kodi and stream live tv seamlessly

This is my first time using Android TV as I have been using Roku for years and I have always had my eye on the Nvidia Shield for a while. This is quite a powerful little box here and let me be clear on something, I see lots of un-official 3rd party Android TV boxes online but I couldn't take a chance using them because I don't know how stable they are so I spent the extra money for the shield to be sure I have full support and compatibility. Setup takes at most 5 to 10 minutes going through the Nvidia settings and google settings. It took me a while to understand the Android TV UI and it is alright not the best but I have gotten use to it. Majority of the most popular apps are available on Android TV but not all apps are available like Spectrum TV app, AT&T TV and NOW plus Xfinity which is a real bummer if you subscribe to their services. Remote control design I would of prefer the remote from the 2017 model of the Shield, the remote on the 2019 model I have gotten use to the feel but for sure I don't think other people will like the feel of it. Resolution settings you have to play around with it to your liking as I have seen their AI-scaling and it will depend on your tv if it makes a difference for you in your resolution picture. I really hope that more apps will come to Android TV because it will bring serious competition for all streaming devices.

Purchased this for my LG TV to run different streaming apps. This blows Roku away, This is made by Nvidia, who is the leader in graphic cars as far as I and millions of others agree. Nvidia is a name brand to trust. So many more features than the Google Chrome and Roku I had before this. If you want to step up your game, this is the way to go!

I purchased this for the sole reason I Wanted to play Stardew valley with someone multiplayer while having full screen viewing on both devices. It does that beautifully, as well as many other things like Netflix Hulu Disney+, and other games can be streamed using the steam link app.

Excellent product, picture is great, allows you to watch almost anything that is on tv via the apps. Highly recommended

The Shield Pro is definitely the best media streamer of all time. Highly Recommended!

Speedy android tv UI. Great picture. Much better remote, with better volume control.

Price: Expensive(6/10) Setup: Super easy Use: 9/10 Bluetooth: 9/10(paired with 2 PS & 1 Xbox controller) 3rd party Apps: yes GFN: works very well. 4K/60 Lag: None Tip: Hardwired for the best results Cons: GFN limited library, but still has a lot of great titles.

The Shield is a very sophisticated set-top box. It is not intended for novices. If you are looking to stream just Netflix, this is not the box for you. Don’t get me wrong, Netflix works great on it, but for the price, $199, it may be a waste of money compared to their streaming media. Your choice, it is a great machine. If you want a media center for all your media, then I would highly recommend it.

I purchased this after reading several positive reviews. I would say overall I am exceedingly pleased. The most positive thing I can say is that the AI up scaling is amazing. If you don’t get carried away with it the picture from an HD source can look very much like a 4k image. The App Store is plentiful with streaming sources you can expect. My only negative is that after tweaking a few settings the shield had trouble recognizing being connected to an Ethernet source. A factory reset took care of the issue though.

Very good streaming with android. Awesome product. Easy to use.

While price is high it is worth every penny. Use it for heavy streaming and is essentially a mini pc. No lag and is clean with the simplistic homepage as opposed to having ads all over the place.
