Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have been very pleased with my purchase of the Nvidia Shield. Works great for streaming!

Two reasons this doesn't get 5 stars from me. 1) Using the remote to control everything (Shield, television and Denon receiver) works most of the time, but not always. Sometimes we have to use the TV remote to power on the TV. 2) The dashboard sometimes has "blank" icons in place of the applications. I can hover oven them and select them, but the icon itself is just a gray box. We love that the Shield passes Dolby Atmos through the receiver and Dolby Vision to the TV.

The picture quality is better than with the Five TV Cube and it has wired networking for faster, more reliable speeds. I also like the fact they provide more regular updates and enhancements to improve performance/functionality. It is a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Everybody always says... There isn't anything better for streaming. It does work very well for that. I don't know if it is anything different than a Firestick, but it is better. It is like a the difference between a basic car and a luxury car. They both get you where you are going, but it's the ride to the destination.

This is hands down the best device for my purposes as my main way of watching TV. YouTube, YouTube TV, Netflix and Plex (I have a separate device for Plex Server) are pretty much only thing I do. I had the 2015 Pro model and wasn't a fan of the remote volume slider doohickey. Since I finally made the move to a 4K TV it was also time to bump up my android tv box. Pros: • Easy to set up, powerful and smaller than the 2015 model. • Replaceable batteries instead of having to get the "low battery" alert. • Quality build... not some dinky piece of plastic if you don't need a micro sized solution. • 4K upscale is incredible. Cons: • They didn't completely solve the remote issue for me, that Netflix button is way sensitive. I'll find myself hitting the button when picking up the remote and it launches. Exiting Netflix is annoying... choose profile, go to menu, scroll to bottom, tab to the right. Grrr. • Price - its still a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. • 16GB internal HD. Absolutely need more space for app install, caches, etc. But it is very finicky about what you use, I opted for a 2.5" USB 3.1 enclosure with a 250GB SSD I had lying around. No warning about "drive too slow" and plenty of space. All in all a good purchase. It would been nice catch it on sale but I'm impatient and you won't save a much anyhow.

Best streaming device and good gaming capabilities...i really felt its superior to roku

The fastest streaming device Ive ever had the pleasure of purchasing. It costs more that any fire device but runs way better and smoother than anything ive ever used before including the cube and 4k stick.

I was a huge fan of the Gen2 FireTV boxes until a co-worker told me about the Shield. Man was he right! This thing blows the FireTV out of the water. Fast, sleek, the UI layout is perfect - highly recommended. Oh and the remote... ::drools:: Just buy it and thank me later...price should be $150 but it's still worth it at $199

The Nvidia Shield TV is a great streamer! It supports HDR10, Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, DTS:X, and many other formats. Android TV has so many app options, you won't be asking for more! It has really cool game streaming. The remote is really nice, it is backlight which is rare among streaming boxes. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it!

I have enjoyed this android box for several weeks now. Netflix and Prime Video programming have never looked better. The AI feature plus Dolby Vision is first class. The Surround Sound choices, with Dolby Atmos being the most advance, is second to none. The Processor speed of the android box, dual usb ports and Plex Server capability are also a plus.

It's not cheap but probably the fastest android TV streaming device. Best part is that it upscales content to the highest resolution of your TV. Even on 1080p displays, content will be upscaled with AI. Not only that, it will upscale content to 4k even on 1080p displays too. You'll get the most out of this though if you have a 4k TV.

Top of line and ease of use makes this one of the best devices for the TV. Very quick and responsive unlike some of the lower end Fire Sticks

Best streaming device. Kodi, and games fast. Good stuff

If you have had a Nvidea Shield prior to this upgrade, then it's basically more of the same with some bonus features and and awesome remote that won't get lost in the couch. For those who haven't had one previously, I recommend this not just for 4K, but definitely for the better remote.

The best android TV box, is powerful, has a great and excellent video quality output, and sound too. The remote es simple and excellent, the illumination feature is for sure a good thing. You can use its USB ports for hdd, flash drives, hubs! After 6 months I can say is one of my best purchases!

The shield is the best out right now. Can stream it all with this. Easy to use remote too.

Great streaming/gaming device. Highly recommend it!

Best set-top streamer that I have ever used. I love how versitile and fast it is. Apple TV4K, pales in comparison. Roku wishes they had the speed. Amazon Fire, doesn't belong in the same category. Google Cast, built in! Just Perfect!

Jumping from a Fire stick Max I was a little afraid. A $150 bump is nothing to scoff at, but the fire stick was leaving the top left quardrent of my TV with lines. So I took the jump. Don't expect this to be super compatible with Google Home like a Chromecast would. Also don't expect it to be able to play with other Google speakers without stuttering. Other than that, thebjnterface and quality of the SHIELD is insane. Would hands down buy it again!!!

Excellent entertainment device. Extremely fast and superior to all alternatives. Apps available for all services that matter. Highly recommend!
