    This particular purchase didn't work out but I did end up getting one and it's amazing! It runs so much better than the other Android tv boxes I've purchased. Costs a little more but it's well worth it.

    I bought this to use for streaming my collection of videos as a Plex server based on positive experiences I'd read elsewhere. Thus far I'm not disappointed. Setup is a bit more complicated than with other streaming sticks/boxes (check online for some in-depth video tutorials that help a lot), but that's the price you'll pay for more flexibility (such as support for external USB storage). The interface is extremely configurable if not as slick as competition like the AppleTV or Fire, and I've encountered an occasional glitch in some of the apps. (Hulu sometimes seems to require an extra button press to wake it up, for instance.) All in all, though, we're enjoying the speed and video quality I expected. We have all the major competition (Apple, Amazon, Roku, and Google), and this has become the go-to device for the family.

    I've been using a Roku Ultra for the last couple years but got fed up with the licensing problems going on. Decided to give this a try and holy man is this thing fast!. Actually want to try and play games on it as well.

    Probably the best streaming device available. The only downside is it wont display Youtube content in HDR where available. It will show 4K content on YouTube but just not in HDR.

    I use this device for at home retro console emulation. It handles PSP at 4X resolution which looks great on the big screen. I handles all the 8 and 16 but systems with ease. It can even emulate the GameCube and Wii with Dolphin. I already had a spare Xbox One Bluetooth enabled controller so I paired it with the shield and it has worked great without any issues. I have several gripes which kept me from giving it a five star rating. First, the device is not using the latest Android version which keeps it from being able to run PS2 games out of the box. Second, it has no Micro SD or SD card slot. While you can expand the memory with a USB thumb stick or a usb hard drive they are clunky and cumbersome. It would have been far nicer to put the biggest ads card in it possible. This device also works well as a video streamer for things like Netflix, HBOMax and Disney+.

    This is my 2nd Nvidia shield tv, but my first shield tv pro. I'm absolutely in love with this thing and so happy best buy had it in stock at retail price when everyone else was trying to over price it due to the pandemic.

    Excellent streaming device with a beautiful picture even on a 150" projection screen. This device is a must have for a high end home theater experience. The interface is also fast/very responsive.

    The absolute standard IMHO for streaming set top boxes. I have this 2019 Shield Pro 4k, the 2019 Shield TV 4k (cylinder), and the 2017 Shield Pro in different rooms of the house.

    The best streaming device you can buy. Others may work but this is the best. My second one. First one lasted for 8 years and was hit by lightning so I ordered another one. Can't go wrong, Love it.
