Awesome device! So easy to use. The remote is sleek, simple, and feels good. Powerful enough for all of my needs.

Not to much of an upgrade to the previous Nvidia, It's slightly faster then the previous one. The best part of the pro is the remote much better that the other one, It has a off button plus a better volume control and a shortcut to Netflix button.

I had the original Nvidia Shield for over 10+ years. It still works. h
However, I wanted to upgrade to the newer version because of my Bose Atmos system and other newer technologies. You can't go wrong with Nvidia, quality and performance that lasts.

Love the shield, way better than the apple TV imo. Have been using the shields for the past few years. The price is pretty high for how long it's been around though

I also have the 500GB Pro model from before & it’s only slightly better in my opinion. The upconversion feature works but anything less than 720p gets massive grain so not worth it on that content my Panasonic 4K player blows this away in that department in fact Amazon, Netflix & Youtube content i all watch on the player instead. If you don’t have a shield at all I do highly recommend this for its streaming potential & the fact it supports Dolby Vision the main reason I upgraded. There is supposed to be a better processor in this one but I don’t see any difference between the 2 devices.

Get it! dont think about it just get it! Replaced my roku box and i havent looked back since. Watch some youtube videos to see just how much you can do with it. There are soo many things you can do with this that I cant even fit it all into this review.

The KING of all media players is back. If you have a previous generation of Shield, this is likely not worth upgrading to, however I needed a second Shield, and this thing is AWESOME! The best media player there is hands down. Nothing handles video formats like the SHIELD, and the Shield PRO even has new tech to upscale your SD content. If you have a 4K HDR screen, and want the most flexible, and dependable player, look no further. KODI runs LIKE A CHAMP, HDR video files, all surround sound formats, awesome!!

This thing is fast. I love the AI upscaling as well. It's much better than I expected. The interface is easy to use and Google Assistant built in is great. The remote, although an improvement over last generations Shield TV, still leaves a lot of room for improvement. The Netflix button should be programmable, along with a couple more programmable buttons. That's really know only nag. The price is a bit high, but if you want the best streaming box out there, this is probably it.

Very happy with this purchase. Just the processor alone is worth it. I've a 85 inch Sony, about 3 or 4 years old and could maintain a strong stream. Plus I had 1 gig up and 1 gig down fiber. The Shield put all of it to bed. No more lag or stuttering. Worth every penny.

Have been contemplating this upgrading from firesticks, chromecast,native smart tv apps, etc, and now wondering whybinwaited so long! Noticeably better picture quality on all streaming apps, faster load times, absolutely no buffering. Have a large plex server library, which is the main reason I made the leap, and so happy i did. And with Best Buy's price match guarantee, i didn't miss out on the price drop that finally happened a month after my purchase, which I was waiting over a year for.

If you do not want Roku or FireTV but want one of the most powerful streamers this is one of the better choices. I really like this but decided to return it due to a Android limitation on High fidelity audio (note other streamers have the same issue I later found out.). A very robust remote, circle control takes a few days to get used to. Does allow some streaming gaming. Small form factor and better connections than some streamers.
