Customer Ratings & Reviews

Better than i expected. It turned a regular TV to a smart TV and works seamlessly.

I bought this for my son-in-law. He loves it. It was $75 less at Best Buy than Amazon.

Strong built. Great picture. Fast processor. Highly recommended

I bought this device for two main reasons 1) set it up as my plex server 2) watch 4k (HDR, Dolby vision) content from streaming platforms. The plex server part worked pretty well. However this device still has only HDMI 2.0 port to connect to TV. So as soon as I set the video to Dolby vision, it set the refresh rate to 30Hz instead of 60Hz. For a device in this price range, this is definitely not acceptable. If this is too technical for you, you can just google refresh rates and see why a 60Hz refresh rate is a must. Also the Android TV UI is just the worst UI, I've come across for TVs. Apple TV, Roku and Fire TV have better UIs. I am going to return mine. Will consider it for a plex server if they update it in the future and if they lower the price.

Had to return was not what I needed. Next day got what I need received credit for the difference. Showed rep a picture of what I wanted but got the wrong item. Was not happy having to make 2 trips

This thing works better than any streaming device I've used. I almost shaved a point off for the ridiculous triangle shaped remote though. Feels weird in the hand.

Even though it’s a 2019 model, it’s still a top of the line media player.

At first the new shield software had a few bugs and didn't work well with the but they worked on it and it's finally working well. Wish it came with a controller. Would be more worth the $200. I feel it's more of a $170 Vale to be honest. If your just streaming only get the $150 tube version.

For my streaming needs, Ive tried Firestick, Firecube, Tivo Stream 4k (4×), nvidia shield tv and now nvidia shield pro. Thiis is the best of the lot followed closely by Fire Cube.

Liked that you customize so that you don't see adds or company pushing their own products. A little pricey. Remote awkward

The shield works great, the remote is hot garbage.

I absolutely love this it works so good. And has better reliability than other streaming devices I've used

I love this product it does more than I had hoped. I have had a Roku Player and a RVeal Player. I should have purchased this box first. Worth every penny. Skip the Fire Stick and buy this.

This thing is rock solid! There's not the kind of buffering that occurs with other streamers. you can hide it, too, so you never know it's there until you turn it on.

Faster processing capability compared to its competition.

I’ve owned this for a little over 6 months. At first I was extremely happy with it but now I think it was a waste of money. At first I was using it for SteamLink to stream games to my tv. It worked mostly okay but after it disconnected my Xbox controller it would not automatically detect it after — I would need unplug the dongle every time. Then Nvidia pushed out a software update that made it basically unusable. It couldn’t even stream shows, forget about gaming! I was able to roll back the update but it was pretty technical, took up a couple hours, and I was lucky I had the required cables on hand. All that aside I was still relatively happy with the purchase but about a month ago this thing started having issues where the Wi-Fi fails more often than it works. It’ll say it’s connected to the network but there is no internet connection. Meanwhile every single other device on the network is working perfectly fine. Sometimes it’ll stream a show for 10-20 seconds then buffer for at least 30, then repeat. We’ve gone back to using our Roku instead (which has never ever given us any trouble) and I just have to head to the basement if I want to play games.

Loved it, one of the best tv streaming experience with plex servers and playing games same time by just using this. Only downside, there is controller like the previous versions come with combo kits

Use this, solely as a plex server. It's great, no issues, works like a charm. Kind of like set it and forget it.

Pretty awesome system to get your home media collection up and running. Put 6tb ssd in it with movies etc and it works a treat!

Really good Android TV for streaming media easy to install google apps or not google apps 4K HDR you can even install VPN for geolocation for some apps that don’t work in US
