    I find the NVIDIA Shield Pro to be well worth the price. I can set up as I want, I no longer have buffering problems that I had with other Streaming devices. There are much more options for settings. If you are into Streaming this is the unit you want to get.

    Pricey, but worth it! I got this to emulate Dreamcast and GameCube games. So far, I'm really happy with it. This thing is every bit the emulation powerhouse people say it is. I can't speak to the streaming features, as I haven't used them yet.

    Purchased this for Plex Media Server and after a few days, I realized that I could just download the app on my Smart TV and had no reason to use the shield. However, I can confirm that you can do so many things with this little thing.

    I bought this to replace an older, and failing, WD player. It was the best solution I could find to play .iso, backup DVD's. By installing Kodi, I'm able to do that. Everything works well so far. I took off a star because of the remote. It works fine but, the interface to Kodi is a little problematic. I'm also not looking forward to the button cell battery dying and having to chew the case off to replace it.

    Best Streaming box on the market

    This is easily the best streaming device on the market. The big selling point on this is the AI up-scaling. It can up-scale media that is 1920x1080 to 4K and make it look even better. This device supports usb devices and can even be used to stream content from a plex media server.

    Best Streamer

    IMO, this is the best streamer you can buy on the market. The remote (while the netflix button is annoying as it's frequently touched by mistake) is better than the apple TV remote which doesn't have back lightning. System is fast and I like the USB ports!

    Best Android TV device

    The best Android TV device. 4K and Dolby support with AI 4K up resolution. Has all the apps that I use and can be integrated with Google Home. Had the previous version and they continually support it. Have not played with the gaming features but may try it in the future.

    Great device, poor BT performance.

    Overall great streaming device. Tons of options, and tons of apps. The biggest weakness? Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection quality is subpar, and the range is mediocre. I've never had a device perform so poorly with Bluetooth. So if you use BT headphones often to watch TV, skip this device. Besides that, it works great. I ended up return it, because BT connection is a must for me.

    Futurproof smart tv OS replacement. I have 0 faith in all manufacturers to actually keep their OS updated. I have a slight issue with my tv and soundbar fighting over SEC-controls at random, but that's not the shields fault. If it could run a pihole that'd be great but oh well.

    Switched from an older steam link to this bad boy. Works great, it is hard wired to my network. No input lag using xbox one controller streaming from my pc in my office to the bedroom. Great product.

    Not overly impressed with this one. It’s not any better or faster than the older version that I replaced. Sorry I wasted the money.

    A fantastic media player. I primarily use it to stream local files from my NAS via PLEX. It handles every audio and video format I can think of, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. The only minor letdown is it does not support HDR on the Youtube app.

    Best streaming device you can buy. 4k upscaling is wonderful apps are great. the remote that comes with is it awesome. dont buy the tube version just spend the extra 50$ on this one. This one uses a 64 bit OS so you can do emulation and use other apps tons better.

    Works great. This is the second Nvidia shield I have bought. We enjoy the other one and it has all of the features we need, so I bought a second one to use in our family room. It’s processing speed helps resolve lag issues with streaming services played directly from the TV.

    Best android streamer and gamer

    This is the best android tv device for anyone interested in having a streaming device with gaming capabilities. The interface is somewhat clunky compared to the more refined interfaces like the fire stick and roku... But I'm ok with some tweaking. You'll enjoy this one.
