I was hesitant to change from my Amazon Fire Stick to this Shield Pro. I've had apple TV and Amazon Fire stick, but none have worked as well as this Shield Pro. Streaming all day, playing music, and sometimes even playing games.

I bought this primarily for gaming, though it does offer video streaming and office functions as well (so long as you use a mouse and keyboard). It doesn't play ALL android games, but it does have some exclusives available like Half Life 2 and The Talos Project (meaning you can't play them on phone or tablet). Also, GeForce Now allows me to play PC games through Steam, Epic Games, Uplay and GOG so long as I own that game. And there are a few great places to find cheap Steam product keys if you know where to look, so I'm playing Death Stranding and The Medium without having to buy a PS4 or an Xbox Series X, which to me is awesome! So long as your internet is steady and fast enough, you can game it up all you want and I haven't experienced a single lag related issue. Overall, this is the best gaming purchase I've made since my Xbox One S.

This is one of the best if not the best android boxes you can have. It's super fast and tons of fun. I have three in my home and love them. I have tried other boxes but none quite like this one. It is a must have if you are wanting to cut the cord from cable.

Great performance do unit exceeded my expectations. Picture quality is amazing. Upscaling is terrific. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase and the new remote is rockstar status

I have purchased 3 of these. Two for my home and one for daughters home. They are the quintessential boxes for delivery of all things streaming (up to 4K) including all streaming services and Plex! Small, compact and powerful, they put to shame roku and other streaming devices. Fully configurable. Love this device. No ethernet cables as the WIFI connection is fast enough to support all video formats. Highly supported by the Nvidia team, routine software updates keep you at the leading edge of home tech. If you are cutting the cord to cable, get this today. If you are keeping cable, this is a great augment!

This is my second shield. I also own the 2017 model that is now on my bedroom tv. I will buy another when I get a tv for my basement. Well worth the money. The remote is a nice upgrade. Ai up scaling is nice as well but takes some configuration.

Works great! Replaced my Fire Cube and it is a lot more speedy. The AI Upscaling is definitely noticeable. I have owned it for nearly 2 years and its still working perfect

Very pleased with this upgrade more storage, faster response to voice and remote push button commands. Remote is easily held in the hand and has more functions built in. Really like the change up from the quarter shape size batteries to aa's.

Been using this for a week now, WAY better than a Roku. It's much snappier and integrates with my Android ecosystem. Roku has nothing on the Shield Pro. I'd recommend getting this to level up your TV streaming experience.

Great device. Bought it as the box from xfinity was not delivering the audio quality for my 11.2 audio ATMOS setup in my theater. I can feel the sounds and separation now!

This is the best Android media player you can buy. The new redesigned remote control is really good. Also the new AI image enhancement is excellent and with Dolby Vision/Atmos, DTSX included you have all the latest sounds and video standards for your viewing pleasure.

I bought this to replace my FOURTH Fire stick that just became too slow! The interface is great and its very easy to use with Kodi.
I will take away 1 star for the high price and weird triangle shaped remote though. Not sure why they went with that shape as its not ergonomic or aesthetic. But at least the buttons light up with movement.

Outstanding product . This thing never skips a beat. Its snappy and fast in pretty much every way.
If you have an Nvidia GPU with Nvidia experience, you are able to stream games from your PC to another room.
I tested a number of peripherals; xbox one s bluetooth controller, wireless keyboard and mouse, external ssd, flash drives , you name it . It handles anything you throw at it expertly. The only thing I really have to complain about is the remote. The triangular design is comfortable but also annoying at the same time. And I wish the dedicated Netflix button did not exist. Not only is it unnecessary but, its large , overly sensitive and in the worst place possible. I can't tell you how many times I mistakenly breathe on it and suddenly my program is interrupted by Netflix' splash screen.

Overall a great device that is way better than what you usually get from smart TVs. The storage a little limited though so that is something to think about.

For a small device, this is a very good streaming device, able to get all my streaming services that I currently subscribe to as well as some limitations to the games that I play. I was able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, later switched to a trackball which allowed me to play. This pretty much streams all the main services (Amazon Prime, Youtube, Roku, AppleTV, Hulu).
