This is like a super Fire Stick. It works very well.

Works fantastically. Nice upgrade from all the other streaming devices. Google TV interface, quality upscaling (if you have the equipment to view), not beholden to anyone's particular platform.
The unit is pricey though compared to other devices.

Worth every penny. You will not find a better android tv experience. And the ability to remote play my gaming rig on my 4k lg tv... priceless. Honestly a no brainer. AI upscaling of my plex library is amazing.

Quite expensive but very nice. Lacks a few things found on most Android tv boxes but very powerful unit. Would be nice if you could update the firmware from Android 9 to a more up to date version. I believe they may be working towards that. The best
Awesome streamer, very very fast. AI upscaler is g

Best player on the market right now. I would give it a very slight edge over my apple tv 4k due to the AI upscaler. Blazing fast performance and it makes any 1080p content look 4k and even improves on 480p content. The only slight drawback is the lack of apple tv plus app support.

Best choice for having all of your streaming applications in one place. I am also able to stream my Cloud PC via this device and it works very well. Lots of memory, no lag and 100% satisficed with this purchase.

GREAT product! Perfect for the Hey Google or Alexa user alike. LOVE the Plex Media Server compatability and integration, and the processor is absolutely amazingly fast and responsive. Don't let the size of the hardware in the picture deter you, it is actually quite small and concealable about the size of a small notebook.

Absolutely great product . So much better than previous version of shield tv. My biggest cliche with the previous version was the remote , that will sleep all the time. This one not only had a good sturdy remote but also the picture and sound quality - absolutely top class . Highly recommend !!!

My household really enjoys this product since out smart TV is getting older. Our tv used to crash and freeze because it couldn’t process all of the running applications but the Shield solved that problem. You can do a lot on this even play games. Highly recommended and worth the money.

Very fast, easy to set up. Streams an almost picture perfect video to your tv. Make sure you have 4k hdmi cables, makes a difference. Icons are set up nicely and can be moved around easily. Great purchase if you're looking for the highest quality android streaming box

This is the top end of streaming players available. Streams 4K HDR content with Atmos sound with ease. Can setup as a plex server, can play cyberpunk 2077 on this thing via GeForce NOW much better than any current gen console. What's not to like about this this Media Player?
This 200 dollar box now has non stop ads essential

I was really excited to get this box. I didn't even know about these boxes till a month ago.
I did my research and decided on getting the best one on the market as far as specs are concerned. Man, now i know better. What they don't tell you is that now google and nvidia throw nonstop ads through this thing at you in the form of paid advertisers.....WHY did they change 6yrs of not advertising?
Seems like most of the apps that were available are gone from the store. Web browsers got removed. Took 2 days to get the thing onto my home network (nvidia's customer service was nice to help....in a way. By directing me to a forum page that didnt help). Write speeds are horrible too. I wanted to move my digital library onto the adopted external storage but google and nvidia have not made this box user friendly in that manner.
Now all that said it does have some pros: 4k upscaling, streaming services open immediately, streams fast, i have no interest in a plex server but i see the advantages though, and it takes up no room at all. Remote is nice (had to disable voice assistant and mute mic but that doesnt bother me).
Would i buy again? Same model and same issues and same hardware? No. Seems like they are trying to force us to a cloud only media center. Not when google keeps removing paid apps with impunity, who knows when it will disappear from your library?
Very unpleasant experience with this box.

This shield does it all! It is a powerful device that also works as a Plex server. With full android operating system and constant updates from Nvidia it is simply a must have addition to anyone’s home entertainment system. Features like Dolby atmos and AI upscale give it a great sound and picture.
