Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have a 3 1/2 year old Sony Bravia OLED TV. Great TV, but the bluetooth module started flaking out. I tried several external remedies and then stumbled on this. This is the best technology purchase I have made in years. The picture quality via HDMI is superior to what Sony has in the TV. if you are contemplating any set top box, I encourage you to give this a try. Zero complaints.

If you are serious about streaming and a cord cutter this device is your best friend. Small but powerful and you can connect any size hard drive if you desire. The memory and onboard storage is the best out there. Nvidia provides regular updates and support as needed. You can also use this device for gaming if you choose with crazy numbers of titles to choose from. You can control the device with Alexa and Google if you choose. You can also stream your audio to the device and it will play your music. The device comes with awesome codecs so your sound will be great. It supports atmos. All around great device to have.

The Shield Pro TV (2019) is simply the best streaming box available despite its age. The AI upscaling and the dolby vision/atmos were new features that warrant me to upgrade from the (2017) version. It also have little small updates within particular apps that I've noticed thats not in the 2017 version. I'm happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend!

Needed to set up my HT game and get rid of the built-in TV apps. This is flawless, audio and picture is better. The interface is great and easy to navigate. I absolutely love this, definitely worth the money

I picked up an Nvidia Shield TV about a month ago and it’s been rock solid so far. Mostly been using it for IPTV and it handles streams flawlessly. smooth playback, no lag. It’s an older device but doesn’t feel outdated at all. I haven’t dived into emulation yet, but that’s next on my list and I’ve heard it’s great for that too. Overall, super happy with it.

I use this 4K as my primary streaming viewing device connected to my Samsung KS8000 65" TV. I am able to stream 4K HDR content with Dolby Atmos/TrueHD without any hiccups using the built in AC wifi to my PLEX server. The AI upscaling works great as well and everything works pretty fast. Highly recommended!

The king of streamers! This box does it all! And does it quickly! The quality of this device is high. It's well made, works and functions well, and looks pretty good too. This device is worth the price of admission with it's ai upscaling feature, the addition of usb ports to play your own media, and the voice control remote. The game streaming with nvidia is phenomenal on the device. All you need is fast internet and it's a gaming console with ge force now! I really love this device, we use it daily around our house. We love it, the kids love it. Very user friendly. You can get all your favorite streaming apps off the play store. If you have movies or shows on a usb drive, or pictures this will let you view them with ease. The remote is awesome, I like that it lights up in the dark when it's picked up, nice touch. I love it's voice search feature, works really well. This is a five star product from nvidia and worth it's price. This is the king of streaming devices.

It a little getting use to, but I enjoy the remote and customization that can be done to the buttons. It does 4K content very well, but can be a little glitchy ever so often. For the speed of the interface and ease of use I would recommended to someone who is looking for an Apple TV alternative or really enjoys the android interface that it provides.

The NVIDIA Shield Pro continues to be my go-to media player, even years after its release. It handles 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, and Atmos flawlessly, and the AI upscaling really makes older content look incredible. It's also great for gaming with GeForce NOW and retro emulators. Fast, reliable, and still getting regular updates. Worth every penny if you want a premium experience!

I previously used the regular SHIELD TV (the one that looks like a tube). It was alright, but wasn't reliable when direct playing ripped Ultra HD Blu-rays via Plex and was occasionally sluggish with general usage. I decided to get this Pro model to replace it and wow, I was missing out. The Pro model is much more responsive. My ripped Ultra HD Blu-rays play with ease and there's never any sort of delay. Having AI upscaling with 60FPS content is nice too. I would like to say that the regular SHIELD TV is good for basic tasks like casting or streaming video, but honestly, I think you might as well spend the extra $50 for the Pro model to have a more responsive experience. I'm either selling my regular SHIELD TV or relegating it to the family room for casual usage.

Fantastic device that lets you run any and all android based applications for streaming content both online and locally connected. You can run this as a Plex server as well as use all major streaming services. It goes without saying that with the Nvidia hardware inside it runs extremely well. One feature I didn't expect to be so mind blowing was the AI upscaling. I watch a lot of 720P and 1080P content on my 4K display and the AI upscaling to 4K is actually fantastic, especially for anime. The AI upscaling works with any content either locally or streamed. I've been able to watch a lot of anime via Crunchyroll upscaled to 4K and it is an absolute game changer.

I purchased this device after having owned 2 generations of Apple TV, 2 different Roku devices, and several generations of Amazon FireSticks. This was the most I have spent on a device like this short of buying a mini-PC. So far, it has been worth every penny. The device has been fast and responsive. Coming from using FireSticks primarily, I did spend a little time getting to some of the settings I was used to manipulating on the FireStick like turning the TV on and off with the NVidia remote. It’s integration with apps like Netflix and Plex are excellent. As of this review, I must warn you that if you are a subscriber of AT&TTV, they do not readily offer their app to this device - I assume that is because they want you to subscribe and use their own flavor of Android TV. I plan to slowly move over to these devices as the rest of my family gets used to the interface and I catch them on sale. Bottom Line - it doesn’t get any better than this, especially if you’re running 4K with high end sound.

Hands down the BEST streaming box for 4K. Never has issues with buffering or general processing limitations. The AI up scaling makes a great deal of difference and the picture quality is superb! Way better controller - no more digging in couch cushions trying to find my Shield remote.

If your ecosystem is already tied up in Android, this streamer can't be beat. Even if you're in a different ecosystem, the advantages of this streamer poise a strong argument for adoption even if you might be inclined to use a different streamer. From running apps while barely breaking a sweat, to having the ability to run as a DVR system using Live Channels, the Shield is also one of the most-supported devices in the world. Nvidia has quite the track record of updating even the oldest Shield TV with the latest version of Android. This edition supports Dolby Vision natively and properly switches color space on 4K TV's better than most other streamers. I love the flexibility it offers and ease-of-use. Just about every app you can imagine is available along with games and support for Nvidia's "GeForce Now" streaming game service.

I've been using the Shield now for a few weeks. So foar it has worked great with no issues. Roku and ChromeCast generally have a easier to use interface, but you can do so much more with it. Makes for a great gaming console or a Plex server if you're willing to jump through the hoops and buy an external hard drive. My Shield is hardwired to my internet so i cant speak to its wifi capabilities. Has Dolby Vision and HDR but so does Roku. Great device but if you dont plan on gaming or setting up a plex server, i would recommend stick to a Roku or ChromeCast and save yourself a few dollars. I own all 3 devices and the competitors are far easier to use right out of the box of you're not a tech savvy person.

It's 2024 and no other Android TV device comes close to this thing. Why are you even looking at a Chrome Cast, Roku, Firestick, etc... Got a 4K TV with a terrible OS like WebOS? Or the manufacturer stuck a sub-par processor in it and the 4K experience is lacking? Then just get this. Tried and true since it was released YEARS AGO. I've tried the other solutions. They lack the performance to allow me to do what I expect of a modern device. I want to stream 4K HDR not just from your common apps, but from my PC in whatever format I have my videos in and not have a headache. I can do that by just getting the necessary app from Google Play Store. If I really wanted to, I could sideload whatever app I needed because I'm not LOCKED into any sub-par ecosystem. This is just pure Android TV. And it simply functions like an Android device should. Freedom to do whatever I want with the expectation that it should work. There's a reason why this is still sold today and hasn't been replaced with an upgraded model. No other product can compare because the "competition" is all cheap hardware.

This thing is great the scaling can really good ,but sometimes ok. You get full speed ports on this so real usb 3.0 and real gigabit Ethernet which is excellent. They remote lights up which is a feature I sorely miss on modern devices. It also allow you to find the remote with the app which you will need to do as it is hard to find being matte black. The android apps are not always better than the roku's ,but you can get them or chrome cast from your phone. Also, if you are not a plex user I would choose this for plex support as I found it ok at best personally. Also, the old game exclusively for this device no longer work so... This is expensive ,but nvidia has been supporting these for year so I am not to worried. Also, if you buy the controller you can mirror the roku head jack feature. You can also just use bluetooth headphones which is not possible with a roku.

This media player is really nice I should had brought this a long time ago the best media player box out there the nvidia shield pro is fast load up quick the A I scalding is very nice the video picture comes to life I love the nvidia shield pro I reccomend to buy for everyone great pro .

The box is sleek, small, and looks good. The UI takes a coulple of uses to get accustomed to. As with all android devices, there are alot of options to personalize the experience and how Shield interacts with the tv and soundbar. The backlit remote with built in remote finder has already been very useful. If you do not have a premium HDMI cable, seriuosly consider getting one so you can fully utilize the high definition experience. I got this because our samsung smart tv is no longer able to navigate the menus quickly. This device is much faster than the tv ever was and the apps, movies, and games load and play flawlessly and fast. Zero regret and completely happy with this unit. If I had one request, I would ask that the power supply be usb and not a custom proprietary plug.

This is the best non 3rd party streaming box youll find. Yes its from 2019, but it still beats everything else out there. The ability to do almost anything youd like to do allows your expierence to be clean and free of all those ads being shoved down your throat like some other devices like to do now. Trust me dont think about it and just buy it. If they release a new model this year I will instantly purchase it no second thoughts.
