Customer Ratings & Reviews

Two reasons this doesn't get 5 stars from me. 1) Using the remote to control everything (Shield, television and Denon receiver) works most of the time, but not always. Sometimes we have to use the TV remote to power on the TV. 2) The dashboard sometimes has "blank" icons in place of the applications. I can hover oven them and select them, but the icon itself is just a gray box. We love that the Shield passes Dolby Atmos through the receiver and Dolby Vision to the TV.

Had it for years, nothing comes even close to what the shield could do.

This is hands down the best device for my purposes as my main way of watching TV. YouTube, YouTube TV, Netflix and Plex (I have a separate device for Plex Server) are pretty much only thing I do. I had the 2015 Pro model and wasn't a fan of the remote volume slider doohickey. Since I finally made the move to a 4K TV it was also time to bump up my android tv box. Pros: • Easy to set up, powerful and smaller than the 2015 model. • Replaceable batteries instead of having to get the "low battery" alert. • Quality build... not some dinky piece of plastic if you don't need a micro sized solution. • 4K upscale is incredible. Cons: • They didn't completely solve the remote issue for me, that Netflix button is way sensitive. I'll find myself hitting the button when picking up the remote and it launches. Exiting Netflix is annoying... choose profile, go to menu, scroll to bottom, tab to the right. Grrr. • Price - its still a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. • 16GB internal HD. Absolutely need more space for app install, caches, etc. But it is very finicky about what you use, I opted for a 2.5" USB 3.1 enclosure with a 250GB SSD I had lying around. No warning about "drive too slow" and plenty of space. All in all a good purchase. It would been nice catch it on sale but I'm impatient and you won't save a much anyhow.

Great product Runs fast and great for them retro games Wish there was more good games in the play store That’s my only complaint works great with steamlink

The Nvidia Shield TV is a great streamer! It supports HDR10, Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, DTS:X, and many other formats. Android TV has so many app options, you won't be asking for more! It has really cool game streaming. The remote is really nice, it is backlight which is rare among streaming boxes. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it!

your apps look so much sharper than using tv apps.

Everybody always says... There isn't anything better for streaming. It does work very well for that. I don't know if it is anything different than a Firestick, but it is better. It is like a the difference between a basic car and a luxury car. They both get you where you are going, but it's the ride to the destination.

I have enjoyed this android box for several weeks now. Netflix and Prime Video programming have never looked better. The AI feature plus Dolby Vision is first class. The Surround Sound choices, with Dolby Atmos being the most advance, is second to none. The Processor speed of the android box, dual usb ports and Plex Server capability are also a plus.

I was a huge fan of the Gen2 FireTV boxes until a co-worker told me about the Shield. Man was he right! This thing blows the FireTV out of the water. Fast, sleek, the UI layout is perfect - highly recommended. Oh and the remote... ::drools:: Just buy it and thank me later...price should be $150 but it's still worth it at $199

It's not cheap but probably the fastest android TV streaming device. Best part is that it upscales content to the highest resolution of your TV. Even on 1080p displays, content will be upscaled with AI. Not only that, it will upscale content to 4k even on 1080p displays too. You'll get the most out of this though if you have a 4k TV.

The picture quality is better than with the Five TV Cube and it has wired networking for faster, more reliable speeds. I also like the fact they provide more regular updates and enhancements to improve performance/functionality. It is a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Best streaming device and good gaming capabilities...i really felt its superior to roku

Best streaming device. Kodi, and games fast. Good stuff

If you need something just for netflix or streaming, get a cheap roku. If you need a device that plays everything you throw at it, get a shield pro. I tried everything else-- apple TV, roku, fire stick, etc. Always had issues with certain file types or audio which led to buffering when using plex for my media library. Internal app on my TV wouldn't support DTS or would crash and lag with certain movies. There was always something. If you have a media collection, including 4K remuxes, HDR, atmos, dolby true hd, Atmos, dts x, etc., the shield will play all audio and video types perfectly on Plex without buffering. It just works. The other option in this price point is the apple tv. It doesn't support lossless / full atmos. Get a shield. It just works.

Easy to setup and super fast. Best streaming device I’ve ever used.

This new nvidia shield is the best android box that’s out on the market right now and I highly recommend anyone to purchase this device. The remote is better and it’s a much faster speed as well and it holds more storage space! I give this five stars I was very excited about all this device had to offer they really did a good job on this new NVIDIA SHIELD PRO .

Great streaming/gaming device. Highly recommend it!

Great product. Like everything else has its quirks but handles most formats well and gets it done. Lossless audio is a plus. Upscaling is top notch.

Best device I purchased, well worth your money. Interface easy to navigate & quality of picture and audio is very good

We have tried fire stick, fire cube, and Nvidia shield tv. They were all a waste of money. This has much better picture and sound quality, and a lot less buffering!!! It may cost more but well worth it.
