Best android box on the market. Would recommend to everyone

Love this thing. I built my own media server using this So easy.

Runs very smoothly. I use it to stream videos from the sftp server in another room. I basically just use kodi as a file manager.

A great little streaming box. I have always loved Apple TV boxes as they are the best in terms of peformance and smooth experience. I still think Apple TV is the best out there. Coming to this nVidia, compared to the stock android OS built into TV's with mediocre SoC, this thing will blow every other Android based TV OS out there. Didnt buy this for gaming as I purely wanted a great TV experience. Like the phone double clicking the home button will take you to the apps manager where you can close unwanted apps. Built in Plex server and USB ports and flexibility on how you can connect to the connected storage from your PC etc makes it a great home based media server as well. I am not sure how much Netflix pays nVidia for that shortcut button on the remote, but thats the biggest problem. Its wayyy toooo close to the volume buttons. The buttons you tend to use the most in any remote. So look forward to launching Netflix often when all you wanted to do was control the volume. I have thought of disabling that button completely as I dont have Netflix.

I have the 2017 Nvidia Shield but wanted another one for a different room. The Shield TV Pro is definitely worth the money. The AI upscaling works very well. I really like the newer remote too. The only negative is that for some reason I can install the Dish Anywhere App on the 2017 Shield but the newer Shield is not compatible. I hope this is addressed soon.

I purchased this to upgrade from my Roku Ulta for several reasons. 1. This allowed me to use Kodi, preferred over Plex as PleD is unstable on my network, to manage my video collection as a media server. 2. The speed that the unit in processing tasks or switching between apps. The remote is better on the Nvidia, but I use a Harmony Hub to coordinate all the activities. Set up was very simple, even adding a NAS was easy. The only complaint is customizing the remote and interaction with the Harmony unit. Nvidia seem to not make all commands available.

Great device! Plenty of speed and storage. Also love being able to plug it directly into the modem! Works awesome for all streaming needs.

Works really and highly recommend and thank you so much

The only streamer I use. It is super powerful, fast and can be fairly customized to suit your needs. I use it as the main hub of my home theater. I can't say enough good things about it. This is my second Shield and probably won't be my last. I am a fan for life or until they change this perfect little machine in a bad way. It is a little pricey but worth it for me.

Great streaming device. One of my favorites. Have used my Samsung TV, Apple TV and Firestick. This, by far, is the fastest and smoothes of them all. It can do so much too. Glad they changed from a touch volume control to buttons, it could get annoying try to change the volume and it not registering. Also the AI Upscaling looks real good, the control shape is a little weird.

Passthrough atmos, with Dolby Vision and HDR10 support? Nothing else beats the shield. Ya, you probably don't need this, unless you have a top end HDR 4k tv with a sound system to match. I have to say though, I run some 720p videos on Plex that I play and the one thing no one else can do that the shield does is this uses AI upscaling and it auto scales up my videos to run nicely on 4k. Really impressive feature.

Not only does this version of Android TV run smooth as butter, it doubles as a PLEX server for all my digital media. It is fast, reliable, and also can stream games via GeForce Now which works much better than something like Stadia, and uses the games you already own rather than forcing repurchases. If an app isn't available on this thing, you can bet that it can be sideloaded via Android. It really is a great device.

It's the best streaming box I have ever purchased. Even though it's older. The newer streaming devices just suck.

I highly recommend this powerful box - it is easy to setup, easy to use and the picture and sound quality is excellent! Side loading is critical for me as I use DIRECTV Streaming and there is no App on the play store for that - but with the side loading capability it is/was easy to get the app loaded and working.

Runs every TV app available in the android store, transcodes any video file you throw at it with Plex, and is very fast with streaming games. I tried the free geforcenow trial and played Cyberpunk over the internet with max graphics and it barely broke a sweat. Unless you are absolutely entrenched in the appletv ecosystem, this is the best streaming box you can buy

This was expensive, but works well. I don't like that is shows frames from whatever I've been watching. I like that it will play video from an external hard disk. For me, paying the extra money for the Pro version is well worth it - I have a lot of content on the hard drive, and it makes it easy to use for audio or video. There's apparently no way to view text or read books with this device. This will also work with Kodi, but I haven't set this up yet. I like the feel of the remote-it fits my hand well, and it doesn't want to slip out, like the flat remotes might do. Aside from its shape, I'm not thrilled with the remote - when I try to turn the volume up, half the time, I press the microphone button (I don't look at the remote when I use it), and the screen freezes until I wait for it to wake up or press the 'back' button on the remote. BestBuy says that this comes with Fubo -- it doesn't. This DOES come with six months of Paramount +. I haven't taken that offer yet - I'm not sure if there's anything there that I really want to see. I haven't tried upscaling the picture to 4K - I don't have a TV or monitor that can do 4K.

This device is very easy to setup and start using. It also works extremely well. It's a whole lot faster than the Firestick that I was using before I purchased this. I've only had it for a month, but it's never hung up or reset on me yet. The Firestick did this repeatedly each time I used it.

So glad I made this purchase. Huge upgrade over roku or firestick with zero lagging. This box flies. Upscaling to 4k works great.

I used the previous model but decided to upgrade since my TV supports Dolby Vision. I'm glad I made the switch since it does upscaling so well. I like the new remote design. If you fine with your current NVIDIA SHIELD then just stick with it. But if you got yourself a new 4k TV with Dolby Vision and want to take advantage of the AI upscaling then why not upgrade.

If you’re thinking about getting this, stop thinking and get it. It is unbelievably amazing! Picture quality improves tremendously. I have it hooked up to a surround sound system and even the sound got more immersive. Highly recommend l
