    I was tired of not getting full audio passthrough on my Roku devices. Did some research and found out that the Shield is the only external device that will do passthrough. What a difference its made in the sound in my theater. Absolutely recommend this!

    I love the nvidia shield. It's genuinely one of if not my favorite and most used tech in my home. I recommend it to all my friends and family. Bestbuy on the other sucks. It took them over a week to deliver a package that was supposed to be overnighted. Ill stick with Amazon from now on.

    Still the best even after all these years. Wish Nvidia would make an updated model with better specs and performance. Kinda sucks to pay so much for such old tech.

    This is more complicated than the Rokus I have, but it much more customizable (such as turning the animation speed down so it appears snappier—once you activate developer mode. You can Google how.). Plays all my video files on usb hard drives and ssd once I installed the Kodi app.

    It’s a great start for android tv, but the price is on the higher end but doesn’t justify the usage.

    This is the way streaming should be done! Absolutely pleased with my purchase. Brought one went back and purchased the lessor one. Didn’t like the connections, took it back and got another one of these bad boys! Very responsive no lag at all. I’ve had several devices before but this is the cream of the crop for me!!

    This is the best media player if you require a USB to play 4K video content. The stock Android UI isn’t my favorite. For a every day use I prefer Apple TV. But I use this to play my video content. I have been having issues turning on HDR. But I haven’t dug deep into the issue so I won’t subtract a star.

    Best streaming media player

    This is by far, in my honest opinion, the best streaming media player in the market. Use it as a Plex media server, play AAA video games with Geforce NOW, stream movies/TV shows on many streaming platforms for free, and so much more. You cannot go wrong with this device.

    It works well, is plenty fast, and seems to be good quality. The reason I dinged one star is because the buttons on the remote are way too easy to push, which results in accidental changing of apps, which is super annoying! However, a lot of remotes are like this nowadays.

    I would give this a five-star rating, but I'm still not exactly clear on what the benefits of this are versus a regular Roku. I know that it has additional capabilities, but unless you're going to pursue that angle, you might be better off with a simple Roku. I will say that out of the box that works very well oh, I am very pleased. I'm just not sure at this point of the value for the money.
