Customer Ratings & Reviews

Previously had Firestick 4K on my Sony XBR65. Firestick properly controlled my TV and Soundbar, power and volume; but display was always buffering or crashing when using HULU. Per recommendation of Best Buy employee, I bought an NVIDIA Shield 3-weeks ago. At first, the picture clarity was amazing, no buffering! But the Shield would not control my TV or Soundbar power. Having to use 3 remotes was annoying, I complained to NVIDIA, they said it might be fixed with an upcoming software update. Two weeks later, sometimes Shield controls the TV power, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes Shield turns the TV on, but not off; and vice versa. Shield controls the Soundbar volume, but not it's Power. So I still need 3 remotes, but now I have to watch and wait to see what Shield does before pressing anything, extremely annoying. A few nights ago, I turned everything off, left the room, and Shield turned itself and the TV back on. I waited, saw no updates or messages, turned everything off again. Within 3-minutes, Shield turned itself and the TV back on again. Is this thing possessed! This process repeated 4 more times before I unplugged all the power cables for the night. I plugged it back in the next day, and now HULU will not play any video. I have researched numerous online articles and forums and tried all their suggestions to fix the HULU error, nothing works. I give up. Either NVIDIA can accept this as a defective product return, or it goes in the trash. Waste of money and time!

The menu’s and remote control functions are limited. It needs more instructions with illustrations as to which connections are best and why.

didnt cut it. its jut not that good. this tech came out in 2019 and its just old now. if your buying this to play steam os just wait for the steam machine

Definitely worth the money. Simple setup and excellent picture quality.

Best streaming box i have ever own! I got 2 so far and zero problems!

Great streaming device! I am really enjoying it.will purchase again

DO NOT BUY!!!! Trust me, do your research, Google has downgraded this device and forced very annoying ads to take over the screen as if this is a low cost budget streaming device. If you want a high end premium streaming device Apple TV is the only option left. I own both devices and the Apple is flawless compared to nvidia. All streaming apps are better executed on the Apple as well.

It did everything as advertised. Ended up returning it. Other than games, the performance was about the same as my $25 firestick. I couldn't justify the price.

Gave it four stars didnt recognize it..great product

Works the best of any streaming device I've used to date.

Perfect game performance, support most app on smart tv.

Excellent im going on my 3rd one in 8 years streams fast

It's ok, would not buy it again. Should have came with the game controller. Formatted USB drive, too free up some space, system does not use external sd for all apps or games. Play store on sheild does not show all games you would see on phone, some or a lot of apps are not compatible even if you can find the apps on your android phone. Built in chrome cast sucks, i own a fire stick, cast movies from laptop to fire stick over wifi no problems, can't with the sheild, it might connect and freeze or it doesn't connect at all, Do not like the new sheild pro was advertised to be better than the previous version, it's not.

It was the best Streaming device before they added ADS to the interface. I don't know who's to blame, NVIDIA or Google but at some point, they have to stop being so greedy. Before the advertisements, I would've given 5 stars but now I wish I could've given zero.

I recommend if you're looking great streaming device.

The best android equipment for your streaming needs.

Very glitchy and the gaming part I never used. This basically puts android in your smart tv which all Sony TV’s have already. Just buy he Google Tv dongle and save money.

I uave the LG G2 TV and use it to stream 4k movies from Plex. It has limitations when decoding Atmos. Bought the Nvidia Shield Pro TV and has no problems. Interface is fast and easy to use. Wish the menus were st higher resolution and also sometimes the apps a little buggy. But, once it starts steeaming, no issues afterwards. Worth it for what i need it to do. Got it on Black Friday for $175 for something that is price fixed.

Someone told me to try this and raved about everything it could do but its useless for gamestreaming (All Options, i run a Ryzen 7 5800 & 3080 Ti setup and still terrible). GeforceNow doesnt work, just glitches and freezes, games through Nvidia have ridiculous wait times, it wont connect to 5ghz networks and says my main router isnt strong enough signal but full bars. TV and movie streaming and apps are okay, but not worth the price your paying. Long Story Short, I'm returning it.

Constantly having to flip between different audio settings to get rid of the cracks is tiring. This seems to be a common problem wihtin the community. Beware. I would hold off on getting one till they actually update the unit to something new. Its 2015-2017 to now 2019 models already feel so updated. Price tag is s rip off for what it is.
