Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tired of my Sony Android TV having app glitches and freeze ups. Purchased the Shield Pro and not looking back. Great performance and even hosts my Plex Server!

Great product and Best Buy stocks it Great service it was ready when I arrived to pick it up

Needed to set up my HT game and get rid of the built-in TV apps. This is flawless, audio and picture is better. The interface is great and easy to navigate. I absolutely love this, definitely worth the money

plays everything! with no issues, plus the built in plex server. best for 4k HDR or DV.

Awesome! Best media player I've ever owned. Blows the doors off of our Roku. Works with Plex from my computer and streams perfectly off our network. Installing, switching, starting, and killing apps is extremely easy and so much faster anything else that we use.... and we use a lot! NOTE: This particular model is the high-end of the two Nvidia Shields offered and is well worth the extra money.

Was looking into a new TV because of how slow the UI was. I stumbled onto this and it completely changed everything.

Well performing and easy to set up. I use with a nas media server and it deals with decoding well.

Purchase was great!!!!!!! Best Buy is one of the places to go and find things that you really need the best type of products they pick the best of the products digital of all kinds so it is a most greatest place to go to get products your digital products, computers, all kinds of stereo systems refrigerators all those things are the best and they give me the best prices!!!!!!!

Upgraded from the older version i am very happy with the performance. Thank You for the $400 gift card in advance.

Excellent media player. Fairly easy set-up with many settings you can tweak if you are into that. easy to install apks. Two cons: Nividia Shield Pro is shown with stand which is not included and it should have been stated in description that the stand has to be purchased separately. Price should have been lower since stand not included. And you will need an Hdmi cable since unit doesn't come with one.

If you are looking for the best media player on the market, then look no further than the Nvidia Shield Pro. This media player pretty much checks every box from hardware to software. Two usb 3.0 ports that supported additional storage and several game controllers I had at my disposal and a gigabit ethernet cable which ran at the highest speed my connection allowed is already off to a good start but it doesn't stop there. The shield supports all the major streaming apps(netflix,hulu, and amazon) but this is not why you want an Nvidia shield so let's move on to the personal media. Using Kodi, a media player app, I was able to run DVD iso with the mpeg 2 codec and there were no visible loading times present. Next up, I tested Blu-ray rips with the mkv format using the H264 codec and the vc-1 codec and both ran with no issues. Of course the big test was 4K Ultra HD's using mkv format with H265(HEVC) and..you guessed it, playback is not an issue. Tie that into both DTS and Dolby support and top that off with a 4K ai upscaler that does an amazing job and you have the media player of your dreams. Even gaming is quite phenomenal on this hardware. The nvidia shield can emulate up to the 7th generation of games though you will find that performance struggles in games of the later generations. With that being said the shield still does a better job the any other media player I've tested. They also have the Geforce now streaming service which will let you play current gen games at 1080p 60fps depending on your internet connection. Though there were some frame timing issues and pretty noticeable lag the experience was far better than I expected. Overall the Nvidia shield is an amazing piece of hardware and no other media player I've tested has come close to what it offers. It may take years before we see another media player really contend with the shields accessibility so if you have the money to pick one up I suggest you do.

This is a great little package if you have a 4k TV, like to stream movies, or use the built in plex media server to watch your collection of movies with an excellent on the fly 4K upscaling that is well worth the price of this little box. Remote works well and lights up when you use it in a dark room, so no trouble finding the buttons. To USB slots for your own media to stream elsewhere or watch at home on plex. Standard def streams look like HD when the AI upscaling function is turned on

Still one of the best opptions out there. Works great for TV streaming.

We have long used Roku boxes and been reasonably happy with them, but when we purchased a TV with Dolby Vision wanted something that could support DV content (none of the Roku line does). After a lot of research it was clear this is the best performer of mainstream consumer streaming products, but also the most expensive by a significant margin. So we decided to give the Tivo Stream 4K a try (given the low price and the feature set was worth a shot) and had nothing but trouble with it - its HDMI signal seemed funky and had issues passing through our home theater system from AVR to TV (didn't work well the other way), randomly rebooted, DV was always on regardless of original content format, etc. At that point, realized it was worth paying to just get something that worked, and this has easily been the best streamer we've had. Every single thing works perfectly from the get-go, no random reboots or losing connections, displays everything in its native format, easy to set up and make modifications, etc. Oh, and also the most reliable Chromecast we've had to boot (every other one will sometimes not want to connect or will drop a signal partway through or whatever, this one has worked flawlessly 100% of the time). Oh, and FWIW I dig the remote shape. Looks weird but sits nicely in your hand and has a good heft to it. Not quite as good as the classic Tivo remote (which remains the gold standard for design) but very nice. This to me was a good case of "you get what you pay for." If you *don't* have a need for Dolby Vision, it'd still be hard to argue against a Roku, which can be significantly cheaper and works about 95% as well. But little things like the quicker response time, faster loading of apps/shows, etc., still make this one better if you're willing to pay a little more. Since we do almost all our viewing via streaming services, it's been worth it to us to spend a little more to get better performance out of something we use every day.

This is the best streaming device in market, forget about other devices, i have 2017 model and I upgraded to this 2019 device now, this device is 20 percent faster than previous device and new feature is AI upcaling and highly recommended.

Great device! My video options like you tube netflix and regular broadcast tv are all easily accessible through it. No plug in devices to deal with. all connect or wifi to the Nvidia. This is the second one I have had. The first one just had to be retired. Old and slow. Great 4k too.

This product is amazing, even two years later it has no competition. Nvidia continues to make strides in upscaling and adding new features and applications. Roku, or android TV on devices I have tried up to 2020 do not even compete with the speed of this device. Also the Dolby support for the TV's that have it is amazing. I was also able to install regular google store and run xbox game pass and play full blown games on this with a network cable.

The Shield TV Pro has so much going for it, for such a low cost of entry. Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, 4K 60, and runs a Plex Server? All for under $200? Pretty sweet! Oh, it also does AI enhancement on lower resolution content, such as 1080p and lower, or streaming content, like YouTube. It can be hit or miss, but when it hits, it can pretty good, in terms of adding detail. If you need a fast all in one media solution for your home theater, I strongly recommend you give this a look.

I purchased this unit after the previous unit broke. It works as advertised and delivers better viewer satisfaction than the Fire TV units I have used. I only wish the Netflix button were somewhere else, out of the way. This is the fourth Shield I have purchased. I hope these will last until an upgrade to the Shield Prfo 2019 appears.

I LOVE THIS THING, i love how smooth and responsive it is and have been using it for about 3 months with no issue the feature to find remote has saved me so many headaches and if your looking for something to stream your pc it is truthfully best thing iv ever used, if your looking at a firestick or this i would in my opinion you get more of a use case out of this over firestick
