    This is the best Android TV box by far. The only downside is the ADs on the home screen, but the useability by far makes up for it.

    This plays everything you throw at it. The AI upconversion is simply amazing. Faster than any streamer out there. This is quiet as well so perfect for home theater.

    Got this to be my new Plex client and transcodes are a thing of the past. The AI upscaling actually works making some sub-4k content really pop on the screen.

    I have bought 4 of these from Bestbuy. While the device is a fast streaming device, I paid a premium price for these to not have ads on the home screen like all of the other streaming devices. I'm not in the Apple fan club, and I can't afford to replace these yet, but when it's time I'll not buy another Nvidia product if the continue forcing me see ads on the SheidTV

    This is exactly what I have been looking for quite a while. It is allowing me to stream more effectively than some of the other streaming devices on the market.

    Best cord cutting device you should own. Basically a computer for your TV with an external HDD you can record a crap ton of TV, Movies, Audio, Video.

    This works fantastic except if you use Hulu live. Hulu is a 720p picture and this device tries to upscale to 4K. Essentially it blows up a small image. Looks super pixilated and awful. Everything else besides Hulu live looks great!

    Good UI and game streaming. Bad audio

    Initially purchased to have a dedicated media steamer as well as streaming my PC games to my TV. Game streaming worked great, but audio quality was noticeably worse than PS5 when using Hulu/Netflix/Spotify. Did some troubleshooting to rule out cable issues and it was definitely isolated to the Shield. I exchanged it for another one in case this one unit was defective. But the replacement had the same issue. Still a really good product if audio isn't a big deal to you. I just couldn't get passed it

    I use this to stream my PC games to my TV when I can't get to the PC (I have kids, so.). It does have some weird bugs from time to time, mostly with Dolby Vision looking terrible, but it's a neat gadget. 8/10 would buy again

    The best stream box you can buy right now. Tho if games aren't important to you, the cheaper version should treat you just as well.
