    The older version pro model had you h features in the device itself. I think they could have done a better job. New remote is good. This device was introduced few years back and by today's standards it is priced high. We purchased it since we do a lot of streaming and it works good for it. Overall recommended however look at other options

    Best streaming device there is! It has lived up to it's hype I use it every day for streaming tv shows and or movies. I also game with it. I love the new remote control design. Still have the 2017 model and it works flawlessly years later. I expect to get the same life out of this model.

    This is my third Shield TV and its the best one so far. I upgraded from my Shield TV (2015) (which still works) for Dolby Atmos support via Netflix. Nvidia has done a great job ensuring the system gets updated regularly and compatible with all the streaming platforms I use (Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc).

    OK, so it's a shame that there really isn't much storage within the device (unlike the previous model) but you can add a nice 'n fast USB3 drive to it and the darn thing is silent! 4k really shines on an OLED display and I don't think anyone would be sorry for purchasing one of these media players.

    These machines are some of the best that yuou can buy, they have good power without breaking the bank. Can be used for gaming, and tv watching etc. I would recommend buying the extra gaming controller if you wish to game with it. These are the top boxes, the fire sticks, the other streamers lack this ones power. WORTH the extra money

    This is the major improvement over the 2017 model. This does everything. The upscaling is fantastic makes many videos look like 4K. The apps are very quick to respond.Nothing wrong with a fire TV or Roku player but this that's so much more and well worth the extra money

    Great little streaming media box. This is the device I have been waiting for a long time. Too bad I didn't purchase it sooner. I like how easy it is to use and how it supports all the major file formats movies are encoded in. My only wish is that the there was a custom menu the user can set. For instance, if you want to activate the screen saver, you have to dig through various levels in the menu. Other than, that, I love this device.

    Works great with my Insignia TV. Replaced a raspberry pi with Kodi/Jellyfin and Roku on my setup. Connected some 8BitDo controllers and I have a nice gaming setup too. Don't waste money on the stand 3D printed if you can

    Really good specs for the amount of time is been out. I've searched numerous options and compared to see if there is a better option but to no avail. I highly recommend this tv streamer.

    Out of literally hundreds of options for similar devices, shield is the only one that i will buy over and over, because it has maximum performance and excellent customer service.... most other devices arent powerful enough or just cheap import items

    This replaced my Roku Premiere and overall I'm very happy with it. It's pretty obvious that this thing is vastly more powerful (cpu) then most other competing products including my Roku. I play all sorts of games and emulators on it so it's more than watching tv. The interface can be a bit quirky, and I think that's being addressed with some new updates from Google, Google tv or something. As of the time of this writing it's not available.

    Amazing product that could use some more ram or a upgraded option. Beats everything on the market for its streaming and versatile nature. Open ended software allows for customized applications!!

    Was the best streaming unit before last update

    This was the best streaming unit hands down. Best Plex support, clean interface, easy to use. Not anymore! They now have ads that depending on how you view the main screen take up 1/4 to 3/4 of the screen. They also won't be for stuff you care about, it's about what they want to heavily promote. It's also so poorly implemented that some have been getting Christmas ads in June. With other options that are cheap, you get the understanding that it's cheap because you are getting ads. This is a premium device and should not have ads. It was sold as an ad free device when I purchased it. You can install a custom launcher and that hides the ads, but that is fairly ridiculous to have to do that in the first place.

    The best video and internet streamer PERIOD.

    This (2019 Nvidia Shield TV pro) is the best streamer there is other than using a computer with a high end video card. It's a great improvement over the previous models as well. The contrast ratio and sharpness is much better as well as the detail and motion of videos. The menu is a little snappier and the apps run better as well. I only purchased this as an extra in another room and immediately saw the difference so it became my main unit. The sound quality is better as well, especially in the detail and upper range. Didn't think there would be much of any difference but the newer model is clearly better in all aspects of audio/video performance. Worth the upgrade if you have a high end display device and want to squeeze out that last bit of audio/video quality and detail. Don't forget a high end hdmi cable or else it's simply not worth it.

    May be the best streaming device available! Sleek, completely automated app setup, amazing video abd sound capabilities! Small enough to fit anywhere and a unique and intuitive remote control operating on Bluetooth. Very impressive package for all those who appreciate quality hardware and software - and silky integration.
