    NVIDIA Shield Pro is the best so far.

    NVIDIA SHIELD PRO - Excellent Small Media Player. No Complaints. Had the FireTV Cube and after 2 yrs, it got caught in a startup loop after one of their updates. Switched to the NVIDIA Shield Pro to avoid those problems and not waste more money. So far it has been very good, no problems at all.

    Great product that allows for Dolby Atmos on Tidal music. This is the only product that does this. Also Atmos and 4K on most of your apps.

    The shield streamer is a great product! My experience with this is way different from Roku. Roku has an app I would like that the shield doesn't support. Also the shield started to act up way sooner. It's more costly than others. Would recommend but get the two year geek squad protection.

    Picked this up as an upgrade to the 2017 Nvidia shield. It has worked pretty well. The only real question is whether the non-Plex apps are actually as good/better on this than the ones built-in to my tv.

    Bought this as a replacement for my 2017 Pro Nvidia Shield. Love the smaller size, however, I wish the internal storage was more than 16GB as standard, 128GB at least. Also wished it had IR port for use with universal remotes. The biggest con is that it has a softer image compared to the native tv apps on my LG C9 OLED. Lots of people have noticed this same issue. I had the same issue on the 2017 shield. Was hoping the new one would have fixed it. Mainly use this device for playing plex rips and use the tv apps for everything else. Would move to Apple TV but that doesn't bitstream audio anymore.

    I’ve owned the shield pro twice. I’ve also returned it twice. It just doesn’t hold a candle to the Apple TV. Yes you can decode more audio formats with the shield pro, but that’s about all you can do that you can’t on an Apple TV. The Apple TV beats it out in all important categories: ease of use, app availability, and remote (new version). While I owned it I experience lagging, UI glitches, freeze ups…all things I’ve never experienced on my Apple TV.
