    Two big differences you will notice right off the bat if you have ever owned any of the previous generation shields is the size and weight of the new one. The casing is considerably smaller, which most people will find as a plus. The other being it weighs significantly less that it feels cheaply made, compared the 2015 Shield. To each his own i guess. Pro: - HDR Vision - Upgraded and extra Audio Codecs. - Lighter - Smaller Con: - Ui much improved but very cumbersome on majority of apps - Too light - Feel cheaply made

    Great product! Takes the load off of older 4K TVs as computer updates always slow the system because of the increase of code

    Instructions for setup weren't very clear. Took over two hours to for TV and Shield to sync up. After that it has performed beautifully!

    Very smooth and quicker than the built-in TV apps. Just wish it had a bit more memory, but that can be solved by adding an external hard drive.
