Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Shield Pro is probably overkill for my needs because I'm not a gamer, but there are some excellent features I use. I think it's best suited to someone who takes home entertainment very seriously. I was prepared to run a ethernet cable to it, but the streaming is perfect with my WIFI, no buffering or delays. This was a pleasant surprise because I use the standard router from the cable company, definitely not high-end. I haven't figured out how to cast from my laptop/phone yet, but I know the capability exists. It's just not all that important to me. I'm still getting used to the shape of the remote, but the functionality is good. The remote power button also turns on/off my Insignia TV. It won't control my Vizio soundbar, but I think someone who is more interested in perfection could probably fix this. This is my first media streamer so I can't compare it to Roku, Apple, etc, I know it's far more expensive, but based on its capabilities and streaming quality, and reviews of other streaming devices, it's worth it.

Still the king of the hill years later when talking about streaming boxes. I've tried dozens of different streamers from old school WDTV boxes, purpose built streamers that just play whatever you plug into them, chinese android boxes, apple tv, and at the end of the day I always go back to the Shield TV. It's what I recommend to anyone looking for a good streaming box. It's the only box that Plex allows to run it's own server (because the nvidia SOC has the horsepower to do so). It streams games from PC to your TV, runs android so you can install anything in the google play store, Plex, Kodi, vlc... I have four of them and one of them is a dedicated plex server with a DAS library of 15TB online. Add an nvidia controller and it's also a very capable game console.

Excellent, functions well and enhances my living room watch experience well.

Easy to use Fast. Better remote then previous version Use it for everything

Great device! Plenty of speed and storage. Also love being able to plug it directly into the modem! Works awesome for all streaming needs.

Works well for geforce now as well as streaming movies and shows. Has two usb ports for keyboard and mouse which the other version does not have that are very useful.

Best Smart TV addon to any TV you use every day...

Everyone should have a box like this. Absolutely wonderful

I first bought the little brother of this device due to that was all that was available & it was awesome, however I don’t know how it would get better, but it has, the Pro version is more powerful & there hasn’t been any hiccups & it has performed great, would highly recommend to anyone. The price is a little on the high side, however you get what you pay for.

Nice would have done 5 star but the phone style micro USB can dislodge from weight of cord, relief of this by having cord setup with less direct tension helps. The large memory helps on speed and reduces latency.

I got this on sale but even at full price it's a solid buy. Currently using it with a Geforce Now 3080 subscription and it really does play games at 4K 60fps with practically no lag and no visual degradation. Use this with a wired Ethernet connection for best results.

best streaming device on the market! fast easy to operate and many things you can do with this streamer.iv got 3 of them and going to buy another one today and just put it up in case they do something stupid,like quit making them!

Initially bought this device to let us access streaming services (our "smart" tv is just getting slower and more buggy over time) as well as streaming games from my Desktop PC to our TV. Works great for streaming services, much faster to load and much more responsive than our aging Roku TV which has apps crashing and freezing constantly. Game streaming on the other hand leaves something to be desired, i set up my computer using Moonlight and while the streaming DID work I found it to be too choppy to be usable, especially the audio. Im going to try a strong Wifi extender as i dont have access to an ethernet port for the device... but i dont really see this being a vibable game streaming option with our fairly standard internet setup. (Ethernet source to Wifi reciever)

IF you are into gaming or streaming services THIS IS A MUST!! By Far the best streaming device on the market and the new controller is Amazing and easy to use ! For IPTV there is No other way than this device ! Gaming is So easy and So fast . I could not be happier !! You will kick yourself for buying anything else !! Trust Me

Streaming on this device is unrivaled. My LG OLED can't compete via Web OS. My picture is brighter, much more detailed, and more colorful. Even on models like the UQ75, this compact little device is well worth the price tag.

Works great! Easy to use, remote is easy to see. Upscaler does a good job with lower resolution shows.

Best streaming box currently on the market. I have both Roku and a Firestick and this hands down blows those away. The gaming on it is as comparable to a PS or XBOX. Easy to jailbreak too so you can get apps for it much like yoiur phone. Google doesnt want you too, but you can with ease

Great streamer and media player. Plays Dolby Vision and loss less Atmos with my plex server. I had a firestick 4k, fire stick 4k max and the shield beats them both by miles. If you’re going to RIP your 4k blue rays and create your own library, this is one of the players for your media

Honestly really happy with the Shield. I have a TV from 2016 and the interface is soooooo slow, its was aweful. But now with the Shield TV its INSTANT, when I use the controller there is an immediate response on the TV where as on my Sony TV I have like a 10 second delay between clicks. The major feature that I wanted was the AI Upscaling which is nice to have as well. Although it is a slight sharpening affect you do notice it and it does make things look a little nicer IMO. Finally, I really like that I can use it as a Plex server. This means that I can off-load the task from my main PC and not have to worry about turning my PC on to use watch movies on Plex. Definately recommend

I have a 32" tv in my home office that has Roku built in. I normally am happy with Roku but because it was a cheap TV, I think they did not put a very good processor in. It is slow. I also use bluetooth headphones with it through the Roku app and it would keep on disconnecting and when connected, the volume would go loud enough. I was tired of this so I researched and purchased the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. I've had the various streamers but this is by far the best experience. It is quick and has lots of options. I've connected my bluetooth headphones to it and the volume can get really loud. It solved all of my issues. I've also played some AAA games through Nvidia Geforce Now on it and it is pretty great. I'm using wifi and I have not had any issues. If you are deciding between this and the non-pro, I would go with the pro if you can afford the extra $50. The extra gig of ram will be worth it over the life of having it. If you are looking for a streamer purely for streaming video, I would look elsewhere because it is expensive. If you are looking for a streamer that is more like a phone or tablet in that you can play games, download apps, etc..., it is awesome.
