Still one of the best, if not the best, Android based streaming device available. Looking fwd to Nvidia updating this HW in the future with updated specs, but this device continues to serve its purpose and does not disappoint.

Got rid of the fire stick because I got tired of it crashing and the paramount+ app not working good. Now paramount works fine and no crashes. Love the fact that you can play games on it. My old games on steam like Quake 2 & Half life 2 just sync to it and work awesome. I also like the 1000 ethernet port to get top speed. Have an older elite plasma tv that's not 4k so I don't know yet how the AI upscaling works.

Best media for playing 4k plex media and other streaming services, better than apple, Roku, fire stick google tv etc. I have them all and I still use shield tv for all my media, never struggles and never freezes

This is the Best Android TV box in the market...I'm so glad I bought it. I can now play games with this device...I don't need a gaming console to play games!!! Also watch Movies and TV...Its an All in one Entertainment center!

works great! note that to use DV, you might need to upgrade your HDMI cable. I do wish there was a quick way to "clone" your settings/apps when upgrading from 1 shield to another. The remote is much better than the old one.

Definitely the best streaming device available, but:
Way too expensive for what you get.
Lots of features you would never use.
Best customization since its stock Google TV, but still not enough customization.
Faster then all the rest, but still not as fast as it should be for the price.

This is an upgrade from a Nexxus player. Easy to connect to the TV and add Apps. Takes a bit of time to set them up but once done TV works faster. Picture is clearer. Remote lights up and is easy to work. I have no issues!

Although Nvidia Shield has not updated this device since 2019, it is still the best streaming machine in the 2023 market. The Amazon Sticks or Cube with all its upadates does not even come close to the Shield; and all those other expensive sreaming devices are all junk.
So, if you're looking for streaming device that still supported by its company through firmware updates and great Customer Service, Nvidia Shield is the one for you.

Not cheap, but it plays back the large movie files that the Shield tube stutters on. An essential add-on despite already having Android TV built into my Sony TV. The lost remote option has come in handy once or twice, also!

I love this thing, but I'm not sure it's worth the price outside of a couple specific use cases. I bought it primarily to serve as a Plex server. It wasn't super simple to set up with a shared external drive, and I did have to do a few uninstalls/reinstalls of PMC early on, but between Nvidia, Google and Plex the kinks seem to be fully worked out and I'm left with an always-on, low power Plex server that can comfortably serve up a couple streams at a time. Google TV as a platform is ... fine. The layout is cluttered by ads and the "assistant" tends to get in the way more often than not, but it's become the best option for the most access to apps/streaming services.
If you're not running a Plex server and have no interest in games on this thing (which I haven't looked into at all, but presumably they're ... something?), you're probably better off with any number of cheaper options, your gaming console, or even just using whatever your TV came with.

Easier to use than the last version. I've used ROKU for years and years, but I really like this version. PLUS ... you can get Peacock and HBO Max on this device and NOT on ROKU.

Nvideo shield is a fantastic streaming box. It is well worth the money. No problems to worry with. It is reliable and easy to use. Nvideo Shield has been well worth the money.
