    Good for video streaming but not gaming

    I had to buy this to sync lights using Philips Hue Sync Box because built-in Smart TV apps will not work with Philips Hue light sync. I chose this external streaming device because Consumer Reports and Best Buy had it topped ranked. I also chose it because I needed to get my children, who prefer to play Fortnite and such on the PC, off of my PC. Sites state that this device can mimic PC gaming. However, one of my sons who tried it using a wireless keyboard and mouse said it is more glitchy than playing Fortnite with Nintendo Switch. He also indicated that you must use a controller by NVIDIA to work because his PS 4 Dualshock controller wouldn't work. Bummer.

    Went through so many streamers for quality. This one is far superior in picture and sound compared to all others.

    While this device was revilutionary on its release it is now sadly overshadowed bu the newer FireTV Cube. While it’s interface is infinitely better, what matters most is how the content is displayed. The new Cube has a cleaner upscale than the shield. If/when Nvidia wants to release an up-to-date shield I’m sure that will again be king. For now, save $100 and get the superior product.

    I love my nvidia shield, I can do so many things with it and the best thing that it does not give me problems with the applications and games that I use.

    I should have bought this long time ago. I tried every other one, fire stick, roku, raspberry pi. This is the ultimate. Fast and reliable and packed with possibilities!!

    I use this as my plex server with two external hard drives attached and it has worked very well so far. It also plays back media exceptionally well. Though the price could be a little bit lower.

    I was upgrading from the 2017 model. The AI upscaling is an amazing feature, makes regular HD and 1080 resolution pop on your OLED or 4k projector. Finally the NVIDIA Shield has Dolby Atmos for Netflix.

    I have every streaming box, Apple TV, fire TV Roku, all 4k and all the newest models. As of today they are unplugged. The shield replaced them all. Seriously Nvidia you got it right. This thing is perfect.

    A much more robust option than the competition. Previously owned Amazon Fire TV and Roku Ultra. This Shield has more horsepower and is better equipped for 4k. Another great android powered device!

    Would be better if it supported higher frame rate Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ as well. Otherwise the perfect streaming device especially if you watch older content that needs upscaling. AI upscaling makes 1080p content look very close to Native 4K.

    Response is super fast, there's tons of storage, and it's Android so you can use almost any app, and you can easily side load just about anything not on the official store.
