    It did everything as advertised. Ended up returning it. Other than games, the performance was about the same as my $25 firestick. I couldn't justify the price.

    It's ok, would not buy it again. Should have came with the game controller. Formatted USB drive, too free up some space, system does not use external sd for all apps or games. Play store on sheild does not show all games you would see on phone, some or a lot of apps are not compatible even if you can find the apps on your android phone. Built in chrome cast sucks, i own a fire stick, cast movies from laptop to fire stick over wifi no problems, can't with the sheild, it might connect and freeze or it doesn't connect at all, Do not like the new sheild pro was advertised to be better than the previous version, it's not.

    It was the best Streaming device before they added ADS to the interface. I don't know who's to blame, NVIDIA or Google but at some point, they have to stop being so greedy. Before the advertisements, I would've given 5 stars but now I wish I could've given zero.

    Very glitchy and the gaming part I never used. This basically puts android in your smart tv which all Sony TV’s have already. Just buy he Google Tv dongle and save money.

    I uave the LG G2 TV and use it to stream 4k movies from Plex. It has limitations when decoding Atmos. Bought the Nvidia Shield Pro TV and has no problems. Interface is fast and easy to use. Wish the menus were st higher resolution and also sometimes the apps a little buggy. But, once it starts steeaming, no issues afterwards. Worth it for what i need it to do. Got it on Black Friday for $175 for something that is price fixed.

    Why Are Reviews So High? Not Worth $200

    Someone told me to try this and raved about everything it could do but its useless for gamestreaming (All Options, i run a Ryzen 7 5800 & 3080 Ti setup and still terrible). GeforceNow doesnt work, just glitches and freezes, games through Nvidia have ridiculous wait times, it wont connect to 5ghz networks and says my main router isnt strong enough signal but full bars. TV and movie streaming and apps are okay, but not worth the price your paying. Long Story Short, I'm returning it.

    Constantly having to flip between different audio settings to get rid of the cracks is tiring. This seems to be a common problem wihtin the community. Beware. I would hold off on getting one till they actually update the unit to something new. Its 2015-2017 to now 2019 models already feel so updated. Price tag is s rip off for what it is.

    2017 shield box worked to turn on my denon receiver and Samsung tv. New shield does not turn the tv on. I also had to work hard to get the audio controls on shield remote to work with denon receiver .

    This used to be a premium product with a premium price. No longer is this a premium product as nvidia has chosen to join forces with google and shove ads down your throat on your Home Screen. With no way to disable or prevent the most recent update to google TVs Home Screen you might as well buy a cheaper android tv device. Nvidia used to pride themselves on a clean ad free device. Goodbye nvidia never again

    If you're looking into a streaming device, look elsewhere. I purchased this to play some rom games here and there as well as watch some movies on 4k. After 30 days Shield goes into a infinite reboot. Trying to go to Settings for a factory reset is impossible because it freezes up when you try to. This seems like a defective product, but for $200? It makes a premium device performs like trash. I recommend looking for a Mii, Firestick or Roku.

    Overpriced

    First time trying this system out. Setup was easy and straight forward. Navigating around the home screen is simple but it's not native Google tv software. You can still find it and load that version. The remote control button layout is ok and reachable with out fatigued fingers or wrist. The angular design I manageable but I dislike the feel in my hand, and I hate the indented center ENTER button. No included controller or Google tv software for 2019. Needs free Geforce full game access for the asking price.
