Previously I had a firetv that served me well, but I was ready for something new. The nvidia shield pro's interface is nice - I like how I can configure the layout of favorites and the rows of top shows/items for each app I install. I use it for live tv, hulu, netflix, disney+, and espn... all work well. Its also nice for a variety of emulators for older game systems. I thought I would get Geforce now... but it turns out it is really just beta by invite only... and I am in the queue waiting for an invite. One day I look forward to trying out streaming games. I am able to use an older Fire TV bluetooth wireless game controller with it, and I have a logitech wireless keyboard, but surprisingly I had trouble with xbox one bluetooth controllers. I could pair one xbox controller easily, but as soon as I added a second, it wouldn't pair right away until after 3 tries. And then a 3rd wouldn't pair after 10s of tries. Then after rebooting, none would pair. So I have concluded the bluetooth support is flaky. Fortunately the older bluetooth amazon fire controller works well. I plan to get a USB hub and wired controllers next.

I now own two of these. They are very responsive and work well. The AI upscaling to 4k is pretty good. Probably one of the best streamers available. That being said the design and hardware are a few years old and a price drop and hardware refresh are probably overdue.

This thing is a beast. Getting a second one. Snappy apps and plenty of features. Love the way you can insert a USB stick and view media. Plex server and client installed. You can Chromecast to it as well. Super powerful!!!

I been a shield owner for 2 years now and I thought they would never update their machine but I was wrong and it's an improvement over the last model. I definitely noticed an increase in speed and functionality. It's not perfect but it's a great box and I'm satisfied with it. Love the new remote!

The best streaming box there is. I do not have a 4K tv yet (yes yes) but the picture quality and sound from the Shield is awesome.
Best upgrade from my Roku stick!

I love this thing, use it daily. Despite some thumbnail storage issues with Plex, it is a fantastic streaming device. Cloud gaming and 4K upscaling work great.

The sheild is very fast and responsive, unlike a firestick, and even gaster than my roku. Finally got a pc that can keep up with gamestream and works great. Built-in Chromecast is a great bonus. Still a bit overpriced IMO but love it! Goodbye Directv forever!

This is a versatile android box... whether using it for games or watching your favorite movie or TV show, you can't go wrong with this purchase. This device has been going strong for years & should be anyones goto Android box!

Awesome media player. Love it. Use it primarily to play mkv files from a 8tb hard drive plugged into usb on the shield. I like the remote much more than my Apple TV remote. The remote is backlit also.

The SHIELD is an amazing multi-media device, good for gaming and great for media consumption overall.
It allows for 4K HDR playback with lossless Dolby Atmos support, which is exactly what I was looking for!
The NVIDIA GameStream functionality is also amazing, allowing me to stream games from my PC in 4K HDR (with upscaling and some other hiccups).

This is the streaming King of Kings. My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner. So far my experience with this device has been great and I don't feel like I'm scratching the surface. Since using this I haven't touch my fire cube, apple TV or Google Chromecast.
