Works as advertised. Plenty of storage. Remote is easy to work and keys are back lit.

I think this is probably one of the easier streaming devices to use once you learn the UI. Definitely prefer it over my old Roku Ultra. I did have one weird issue with it with my Samsung soundbar where audio was a little quieter than I expected. It appears to have its own volume setting (I found it within the Google Home app). Shield volume was at 47%, once i set it to 100% what I got previously at volume level 8 on my soundbar I now get at like a volume of 4. Weird issue but aside from that its ana amzing product and I would most definitely recommend it.

I have 3 of the older model and I got this one to go with my new LG big screen and sound bar because this model supports Dolby Atmos. Setup is easy and I like being able to control the TV, Soundbar and Shield TV all from one remote. The remote is a nice upgrade from the old style, using buttons for sound instead of the touch slide, motion activated back lit, etc.. and I will replace the remotes from my older Shields with this new remote when it is available for individual purchase. I primarily use my Shield TV to stream recorded TV from my PLEX server, HDHomerun for Live TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. I find extra value from the large available game library with Shield TV, when entertaining we like to play games like You Don't Know Jack.

Buying the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro was one of the best decisions I have made. I was skeptical if I needed it given my TV's built in Smart TV functionality.
However, this box has brought my 4k TV to life. Not only is it extremely responsive and pleasurable to use, the AI upscaling is far better than any I have seen before. Watching upscaled 1080p content just looks beautiful on my 4K TV, and I no longer feel like I constantly have to hunt down 4K versions of everything.
The AI upscaling alone has made it worth the purchase. Everything else feels like a cherry on top. The box is sleek, visually appealing, and discrete. I would never go without this device on my 4K TV.

Worth the premium cost. Intuitive remote. Easy to connect and setup. Easy to add apps and streaming services. Keeps track of last shows watched and on what streaming service. Provides recommendations of shows to watch, by streaming service. You can easily reorder streaming apps from most watched to least. You can easily customize you home page to meet your needs.

It’s fast, really fast. Forget trying to load stuff on your tv or Roku or google chrome cast, this beats it by a mile. I love the multitasking view too, makes it easy to close and switch applications. I can even use the two USB ports for audio and extra storage. The NVIDIA shield tv pro also gives you a TRUE 4k image with phenomenal up scaling for sub-4k content. Only thing I’ll buy extra alongside the tv is this or an Apple TV 4K.

The Nvidia Shield is, in my opinion the best device out there for streaming sand playing games on it is great as well. I still have the 1st gen Shield that I use as an NVR for my cameras. I don't use it as a Plex server, but is perfect for that. It's fast and responsive and the fact the Nvidia is still supporting the older Shield is a huge bonus. The new remote has buttons that are much needed from the older one. However, I would prefer that the remote be a candy bar shape.

I own all three versions of these and one of them disappoint. Great little android box. I did prefer the original interface compared to the now Google interface

This is the best Android streaming box you can buy. You can stream just about anything you want with the best quality from Dolby Atmos and Vision. It's super fast with no lag at all. Totally recommend this product.

This is my second device - feels the same as 2017 version. Works well with my Sony TV. Like the new remote much better than the old one.
Very fast and responsive. Have not tried as a Plex Server yet.

Love it! I am able to stream movies, TV shows, and even games! Easy to use. Very smooth in comparison to the built in UI my Samsung TV has. Recommend it for sure! The upscale to 4K works awesome!

So right off the bat I had a handshake issue with the shield and my avr/tv. I was able to get that working. The shield does have some quirks, but so does every other streaming box. I still hands down prefer this to my previous favorite (roku ultra), and even over the apple 4k. If you want the most simplicity, stick with roku. For the best picture/audio quality, nvidia shield is where its at.

Some of the best money I have ever spent. It's powerful, very responsive and fast, the 4k upscaling looks great and it runs every app you want.
Shout out to the fantastic remote.

This is pretty expensive compared to other smart sticks but it does upscale to 4k. The 4k upscaling is really good on netflix and other 1080p content, looks great. you tube tv it works well but not as well, it looks improved on ytv better than original but not as good as netflix.(maybe 1080p upscaling is better than 720p?)
Another feature is gamestream, which is useless if your pc is by your tv as a corded connection will always be better, but if its in another room then its a good feature. There is no mute button on the remote, but it works with alexa if you enable the smart skill. Not having a mute button is annoying. I guess you could use your old remote or echo/google if you have a speaker. the main reason to buy this is for upscaling or gamestream, it does both well, its also snappy fast, much faster than your smart tv.

I no longer pay for regular TV. I stream everything. This is the best affordable android box on the market. If you have a lower end 4K TV this box will do a really good job up converting lower resolution content. I have two of them and they do not disappoint. It also has two USB ports on the back where you can add stuff like a aftermarket keyboard remote or other things. I have WD 8TB hard drives plugged into mine loaded with hundreds of movies and television shows. There is only one thing I dislike and that is on Nvidia's last update they put in annoying advertising on the main page. It can be removed if you google it.
