    Ive tried the fire stick , apple tv and this is by far my favorite of the three devices. If you know how to side load apps as well thus thing is amazing for that.

    I will not mention what I was using before but it was top of the line in it's category and still experienced buffering. I decided to try NVIDIA because of it's reviews and I have to say, no more buffering. They don't throttle there machines like the other one. The refresh rate is awesome and the speed is well twice what I was getting.

    Not an upgrade from the 2017 Shield

    The Nvidia Shield Pro is a wonderful streaming device that can handle anything I throw at it. While I certainly enjoy it, the 2017 Nvidia shield does the same things that I need it to. There’s no noticeable difference in speed or features when using them. If you need a new streaming device, this is a great choice. If you want to “upgrade” from the Shield 2017, don’t do it. Keep what you have.

    I have several of these Nvidia Shield streaming media players. From 2015 , 500gb to the new ones with 16gb. I love them. I put one on each tv to stream all my apps. I have not used them for games yet but will try in the future. I have so many apps. With so much content I have little time to try out games yet, but want to in the near future.

    Purchased specifically as a cheap Plex Server alternative for in home use. Had a lot of issues trying to set it up - Plex documentation and Shield documentation really didn't work smoothly in setting up the media server correctly. Ended up with 4 non-functioning servers before getting one up and running. Once I got it set up, it's been working great - my BR collection rips playback smoothly, even with Dolby TrueHD audio streams (had to get a separate HDMI splitter to get it to work with my TV and Soundbar, but that's a separate issue entirely) - my only other complaint is that the system itself is a little laggier than I expected for a $200 media player. On another note, I wish the Shield had been updated this year with an AV1 encoder/decoder so we could get HDR from YouTube... but I can't fault it for something I already knew going in, and it's been pretty great otherwise.

    This is our 2nd one we have bought. We absolutely LOVE the shield. In our opinion it is THE BEST streaming device that is made today. We do all kinds of streaming with this. Its fast, all the time, It isn't large, its sleek designed. Holds tons of memory. Just all around worth paying for the best.

    We have own one for years and picked up a second one for another tv Best streaming box I have used. I have used at least 3 others popular ones and this blow them out of the water! Fast and plenty of memory for all the apps you want. Yes a bit expensive but we’ll worth the price. Plus games! You can play games on this!

    I don't rate 5 Stars very often, nothing is perfect. But this Nvidia Shield just works. Responds quickly with remote like a brand new computer does. So easy easy to add apps with your Google Email Log on. I use this with many apps, but mostly Kodi. I watch mostly anything I like for NO subscription costs with Kodi. I cannot imagine anything better.

    Streaming on this device is unrivaled. My LG OLED can't compete via Web OS. My picture is brighter, much more detailed, and more colorful. Even on models like the UQ75, this compact little device is well worth the price tag.

    This thing is lightning fast. The only thing that I do not like is the remote; I love its ergonomics, but hate the Netflix button, as I find myself accidentally hitting up, thereby opening Netflix. Although, it is possible to remap this button with an app called Button Mapper by flar2.
