    Overpriced for what it is

    The remote has triangle shape which is somewhat uncomfortable to hold, and Android TV feels pretty limited. No browser included, and the options for third party browsers are shady. Lots of things you would expect to be available in the app store are just not present, leaving you to hunt for APKs on third party websites. Mouse and keyboard support is spotty, working in certain apps and menus and not in others. For all intents and purposes you can't use the device without a Google account. No more GameStream is the frosting on the cake. Unless your sole purpose is to run Kodi or some other specialized app, I think there are much better value options out there.

    I’ve had the amazon fire stick prior to the nvidia shield, this is by far superior in all aspects, and the set up is really quick and easy..

    Best Media Player on the market. I have and use Roku, Fire Cube, Fire TV and Android Smart TV. The Shield Pro outshines them all.

    Very good media player. What is great about the Shield Pro is that decodes any standard unlike an Apple TV.

    I bought this mainly for android gaming on my big screen. The game selection is very limited. I will say this is a great streaming device, but I still prefer my roku.

    As a gamer, the Nvidia Shield allows me to not only stream TV shows and movies, it allows me to steam games from my PC which is a major.

    Just okay. Ran into issues with my TV not turning on unless I unplugged the Shield. Ended up getting a Sony tv with built-in Android TV to avoid the issue. Now this just sits in a storage box
