    My cable was $158.00 a month buying this Shield was the smartest thing I ever done. So I bought 3 of them.

    This is probably one of the best purchases I've made for my entertainment center. Although I already had Roku built into my TV, I wanted more power and customization for applications like Plex, etc. I'm just satisfied knowing this will last a while and can be hooked up to any TVs in the future.

    Everytime I heard how good Nvidia Shield TV is, now that I have it I can tell yes such a little device is so powerful, I have Plex server in local and another in remote location, it is the best Plex experience, image is so good no need to transcode. Also its menu work very fast even when you have many things open.

    A great device. It accesses my Plex server much faster than my smart tv, provides lots of streaming content, and was easy to connect to my network. I'm not sure I've noticed a lot of video upscaling, but I think it's still a worthwhile add-on to my system.

    Have had it for about three months so far works good more expensive than fire stick but definitely works better than fire stick. Use it for streaming mostly so far has been good. Use it with TV mate for recording was very easy to add USB to make room for recording.

    No streaming box is perfect and I’ve tried them all. I enjoyed the Apple TV for its features and smooth interface but the shield has the features for a home theater enthusiast. I use it for plex and enjoy being able to utilize all of the lossless audio codecs.

    If you are trying to Cut the Cable Cord. This is the absolute Best device to have! Just put it in Your Cart right now. You won't regret it! I'm so glad after several Android Boxes and different Generations of Firesticks? I could have saved a bundle by using the NVIDIA Shield to start with! Just Buy It!

    Total game changer for me. I've been using Android based steaming devices for over a decade now and just made the switch to the Shield Pro on a whim. I had a new android streaming device on the way, and when it got here, I sent it right back unopened. Best purchase in a long time for me.

    I bought this to do 4K streaming with Netflix, etc. but it can do so much more. It comes ready to run a Plex server out of the box, and it can even act as a NAS with an attached external drive. I have been impressed at how long Nvidia has continued to support add new powerful feature to the Shield TV.
