Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nvidia shield, had one for over 10 years now, this is one for the basement. Little bit newer version basically just as good as the other one! Streams better than any streaming box I've ever owned before. Highly recommended! Worth every penny!

I love this device so far. It is the first one I have had that controls everything with one button push on one remote. It has yet to get confused. I saw a definite improvement in both video and sound quality. It is a bit spendy vs others, but if you are fussy about video and sound quality and want to get the most out of your theatre, I would strongly suggest this.

I love this streaming box I had a couple of different streaming box, new ones and they still don't compared to this one even though it's "outdated" still preform better then most on the market

Great streaming device! I waited for so long to get this because of the high price but it's worth it. Yeah it's old but still better than the new streaming devices out there with the firecube a close 2nd. I had the 2017 but opted for this because of the Dolby Vision and Ai Upscale. Now the upscale is a little overrated but better if you had a super large TV, sound is great, picture quality is great. It makes a low end 4k TV look great in other words. If you can afford it just get this and not the tube.

Ive had this Shield for over 2 years and I can say without a doubt it is the best streaming device I've ever had. I've been through so many version of Roku and Chromecast, nothing beats this. Plex was my aim for this and it's been perfect. Able to stream 4K Dolby Vision and passthrough all the audio. Awesome

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!

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.

Absolutely LOVE this device! It is so simple and literally plug and watch! You can customize it to your liking and set up is a breeze. I like how slim it is and how the remote can control the power for both the device and TV.

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.

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.

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.

The Nvidia Shield Pro is advertised with the stand but does not come with the unit. It is sold separately. Although the tech is a few years old, it operates faster than most Android TV units. Thus far, I am pleased with my purchased.

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.

This purchase was a gamble. I've been using the latest Amazon fire cube which deserves a 'sort of OK' rating. I bought this $200 replacement knowing I could return it if there was little improvement. I was also considering replacing the TV. But the result of plugging this Shield Pro into my system was stunning. The picture was brighter and clearer with no buffer overruns. It looked like a new, high end TV. I run a wired signal from the router into the Shield. The output from the Shield goes through my Denon AVR and into the Hisense U559H. After getting the CEC settings between the TV and the receiver lined up, everything works simply and cleanly. And it just gets better. Using remapping software, I reprogrammed the controller button labeled 'NetFlix' (which I don't use) to select between DirecTV, HBO, and Prime. If you're a tweaker, you can find many other Shield hacks on the internet. Have fun.

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.

Great device, Does everything I want It to, Ethernet port and ai upscaling is amazing. Very happy

bought this to stream all of our shows and movies. replaced our amazon firestick and cube. Both did not have enough memory to run what we were doing. Game changer. I added a 120gb flash drive and this thing flies!

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.

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 .
