Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great device! My video options like you tube netflix and regular broadcast tv are all easily accessible through it. No plug in devices to deal with. all connect or wifi to the Nvidia. This is the second one I have had. The first one just had to be retired. Old and slow. Great 4k too.

Excellent media player. Fairly easy set-up with many settings you can tweak if you are into that. easy to install apks. Two cons: Nividia Shield Pro is shown with stand which is not included and it should have been stated in description that the stand has to be purchased separately. Price should have been lower since stand not included. And you will need an Hdmi cable since unit doesn't come with one.

This is a great little package if you have a 4k TV, like to stream movies, or use the built in plex media server to watch your collection of movies with an excellent on the fly 4K upscaling that is well worth the price of this little box. Remote works well and lights up when you use it in a dark room, so no trouble finding the buttons. To USB slots for your own media to stream elsewhere or watch at home on plex. Standard def streams look like HD when the AI upscaling function is turned on

We have long used Roku boxes and been reasonably happy with them, but when we purchased a TV with Dolby Vision wanted something that could support DV content (none of the Roku line does). After a lot of research it was clear this is the best performer of mainstream consumer streaming products, but also the most expensive by a significant margin. So we decided to give the Tivo Stream 4K a try (given the low price and the feature set was worth a shot) and had nothing but trouble with it - its HDMI signal seemed funky and had issues passing through our home theater system from AVR to TV (didn't work well the other way), randomly rebooted, DV was always on regardless of original content format, etc. At that point, realized it was worth paying to just get something that worked, and this has easily been the best streamer we've had. Every single thing works perfectly from the get-go, no random reboots or losing connections, displays everything in its native format, easy to set up and make modifications, etc. Oh, and also the most reliable Chromecast we've had to boot (every other one will sometimes not want to connect or will drop a signal partway through or whatever, this one has worked flawlessly 100% of the time). Oh, and FWIW I dig the remote shape. Looks weird but sits nicely in your hand and has a good heft to it. Not quite as good as the classic Tivo remote (which remains the gold standard for design) but very nice. This to me was a good case of "you get what you pay for." If you *don't* have a need for Dolby Vision, it'd still be hard to argue against a Roku, which can be significantly cheaper and works about 95% as well. But little things like the quicker response time, faster loading of apps/shows, etc., still make this one better if you're willing to pay a little more. Since we do almost all our viewing via streaming services, it's been worth it to us to spend a little more to get better performance out of something we use every day.

This product is amazing, even two years later it has no competition. Nvidia continues to make strides in upscaling and adding new features and applications. Roku, or android TV on devices I have tried up to 2020 do not even compete with the speed of this device. Also the Dolby support for the TV's that have it is amazing. I was also able to install regular google store and run xbox game pass and play full blown games on this with a network cable.

The little device is called "little man in the iron jacket" it's awesome and just right.I was just discussing it with some friends and in no time this review email arrived.

The Shield TV Pro has so much going for it, for such a low cost of entry. Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, 4K 60, and runs a Plex Server? All for under $200? Pretty sweet! Oh, it also does AI enhancement on lower resolution content, such as 1080p and lower, or streaming content, like YouTube. It can be hit or miss, but when it hits, it can pretty good, in terms of adding detail. If you need a fast all in one media solution for your home theater, I strongly recommend you give this a look.

Great device and works well. It’s highly recommended to use

I LOVE THIS THING, i love how smooth and responsive it is and have been using it for about 3 months with no issue the feature to find remote has saved me so many headaches and if your looking for something to stream your pc it is truthfully best thing iv ever used, if your looking at a firestick or this i would in my opinion you get more of a use case out of this over firestick

Even thiugh this hardware is somewhat dated it still is one of the best steaming devices I've owned

Pros - Fast menu and navigation - Quite a lot of settings to play around with (compared with other android boxes) - Remote control feels well done and not clunky - No complaints so far with the following apps (YoutubeTV, Prime, Netflix and Plex . . . . . . with the exception of audio lag with Prime at times) Cons - Price and availability. You can get other streaming boxes for a lot less money but the Shield PRO feels well built and works like a charm with no glitches . . . . SO FAR

Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro.. I actually have had the unit a little over 4 weeks. It is performing very satisfactorily. I have added a 256 GB flash drive so I could record TV Shows.. EASY-PEASY.. Was extremely simple to do. Using it as a plex server.. again, very simple to do.. Quality of picture & sound when playing .. excellent. Only reason I am not strongly recommending the unit, is the price. 200 dollars - When I compare the Shield to the Firestick 4K Pro.. at 55 Dollars, I question if it is worth the additional Money.. For me the answer was yes.

It was smaller than i expected and its performance is snappy; much faster than my smart TV. I like the feel of the remote and buttons. The automatic lighting on the remote is a cool feature. The option to setup a Plex server is also nice.

NVIDIA-SHIELD Android TV Pro - 16GB - 4K-Best streaming device out there!

Short version, I love it. Everything works, it’s extremely snappy. For those looking at this vs the regular “tube” shaped version, you get a 1gb Ethernet port vs 100mb on the tube, and USB ports which can be used for external hard drives for things like a Plex server. I have a 5GB external drive hooked up and it works great. The only issue is HBO Max is kinda slow/wonky but that is the same on both versions of the shield.

This streaming box exceeded expectations. The AI upscaling is a game changer for non 4K content.

This Nvidia shield product is great, I never had problems with it, this is my 3rd product buying it. I have 3 in my households, its great for netflix hulu youtube ,ect. Its great for gaming if u have than 200MB with internet providers ubwill have no issue. I recommend this product.

I had the 2017 pro version which I sold so decided to upgrade to the latest model. I will say that the 4k upscaling is a nice addition, other than that I don't really see a big difference in performance from the previous generation. I do love the new remote that accepts AAA batteries. Gaming is also a blast on this device, emulation works perfect and you can use xbox one controllers. Will most likely get one when they go on sale again.

I now own 3 of these, one for each main room, this device is worth the money. Especially if you like to Game Stream (Steam Link) from PC to big screen w/ controller. The ease of use is amazing, video quality is superb! 4k w/ HDR and Atmos sound is flawless! Price is a little steep for what it is offering, but that is what happens when the competition is horrible in the Android world.

Most capable streaming device, able to keep up with any task, marginally better than Apple tv 4k, the only device in it's league at the price point. Absolutely optional upgrade as older pro version does everything this version does sans sub-4k upscaling, and single-layer Dolby vision support. If not interested in these features, skip this release and hold onto previous gen shield pro. If looking for center in media consumption, this device is a must have for the savvy Android user, all others, see Apple tv 4k
