Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall great streaming device. Tons of options, and tons of apps. The biggest weakness? Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection quality is subpar, and the range is mediocre. I've never had a device perform so poorly with Bluetooth. So if you use BT headphones often to watch TV, skip this device. Besides that, it works great. I ended up return it, because BT connection is a must for me.

Futurproof smart tv OS replacement. I have 0 faith in all manufacturers to actually keep their OS updated. I have a slight issue with my tv and soundbar fighting over SEC-controls at random, but that's not the shields fault. If it could run a pihole that'd be great but oh well.

This would IPTV service no reason for cable. You need to know which service you need download a couple of movie apps with downloader no reason for cable

Love my shield have 3,have other brands but this the best

A fantastic media player. I primarily use it to stream local files from my NAS via PLEX. It handles every audio and video format I can think of, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. The only minor letdown is it does not support HDR on the Youtube app.

I’ve been using different streaming device, so far this is the best device.

The Shield Hardware is solid and well built. The options in the settings are absolutely over whelming. WAY TOO MANY CHOICES. Over a week in and i'm still trying to setup the server side.

Still one of the best streaming devices in 2023 the only con it runs worse on the new android os was better in the older one versions I love the ai enhancing features and I prefer streaming on this more than any other device

Best streaming device you can buy. 4k upscaling is wonderful apps are great. the remote that comes with is it awesome. dont buy the tube version just spend the extra 50$ on this one. This one uses a 64 bit OS so you can do emulation and use other apps tons better.

Works great and as expected, second unit bought for the house

Works great. This is the second Nvidia shield I have bought. We enjoy the other one and it has all of the features we need, so I bought a second one to use in our family room. It’s processing speed helps resolve lag issues with streaming services played directly from the TV.

This is the best android tv device for anyone interested in having a streaming device with gaming capabilities. The interface is somewhat clunky compared to the more refined interfaces like the fire stick and roku... But I'm ok with some tweaking. You'll enjoy this one.

One of the most functional and powerful streaming devices on the market. User interface is simple and easy to use. I bought this primarily to install KODI to organize my video library. My only wish for this product is to install AppleTV. Otherwise this is a great buy.

easy to use and very expandable system and you only need one remote

I bought this device in 2024 to begin with and I believe this model has not been updated since 2019 and unfortunately it shows it's dated. I was having issues streaming and stuttering and looking online feels like a lot of people have issues with. Also no reason for this price in 2024 for a 2019 model...if it was cheaper I kind would understand...but for this price feels like better options out there if your usage is mainly streaming

Bought it for Plex usage which, seems to be a love/hate.. It can handle any format I throw at it but, the app itself is quirky. I'm hoping some of this gets ironed out with time as I love that it can handle any media type I throw at it.

Works great! Use it to run plex media server. Took a while to get right but no issues.

The best Android TV on the market, great quality and really easy to use and install

Shield Pro better performance than Shield Compact.

The Nvidia shield are definitely the best devices in the market, I have tried several other that claimed to be the best but they don't come even close to this one. I have three of these devices in my home and I love it, once you get the new google tv UI it’s even better.
