Best streaming box on the market! The cheaper alternatives “get the job done” but this never skips a beat!

The upscaling got my attention, Plex capability set the hook! Day 2 using it, blown away at the quality. I travel a lot for business and recreation, so I can throw this Nvidia box in a suitcase and connect to any tv wherever I go, or in the RV, and have my whole entertainment library with me. As there should always be some room for improvement, I am a bit irritated that Nvidia is too cheap to spend a couple nickels on the plastic and include the stand shown in the item pics, but no, apparently that's an added purchase. Seems a bit tacky to be so petty after charging $200 (for an otherwise bargain device). I am confident that many of my friends will be buying these after they see what the are capable of!

Works really and highly recommend and thank you so much

It has completely changed how i use my entertainment center; the remote replaces both my tv remote and my sound bar remote. The AI upscaling is also amazing. I already want another.

Best media player device. It runs fast and smooth. No issue so far. If a very responding remote control is an issue :-) Ordering another piece for my sister.

Ive had firetv stick and firetv box and the nvidia shield out does them both not even close. Faster speeds, faster uploads and downloads. Navigating thru screens in a breeze and just the ease of using it has been incredible. I just wish i had bought it sooner

This is an interesting device. On one hand it is expensive and hasn't been overly upgraded in years. On the other, there is nothing in it's class. If you want a media player, you can't do better. This is quite a powerful little box here and let me be clear on something, I see lots of un-official 3rd party Android TV boxes online but I couldn't take a chance using them because I don't know how stable they are so I spent the extra money for the shield to be sure I have full support and compatibility. Ive purchase a couple of those boxes and my overall experience was negative. Not with this Nvidia shield. The Nvidia comes with the updated CPU, the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip that’s 25 percent faster, 16GB of internal storage and 3GB RAM.You are getting a device that can stream in 4K HDR, with both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio decoding. Overall, great device.

This is the best Android TV box out there and I have tried many different kinds of streaming sticks stream boxes over the years and this has the best performance but it is costly for that performance but if you can afford it it is great and the AI's upscaling it is amazing

This is hands down the best home entertainment device I own. To be able to play anything I throw at it is amazing. I use it for my lossless 4K remuxes, old school gaming and streaming games from my PC.

Best streaming device if you want lossless audio playback without a bunch of extra steps or headaches.

Best box best streaming platform in the world. You don't need to go buy anything else.

Amazing device. Fast and easy to use. The AI upscaling is in a league of its on. In my opinion, it is the only streaming box to own. The remote on the other hand is a bit too sensitive and I recommend tweaking the backlight settings so it doesn’t turn on every time you move it.

I love nvidia products. This one works amazing will be using it everyday

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

I've been using the Shield now for a few weeks. So foar it has worked great with no issues. Roku and ChromeCast generally have a easier to use interface, but you can do so much more with it. Makes for a great gaming console or a Plex server if you're willing to jump through the hoops and buy an external hard drive. My Shield is hardwired to my internet so i cant speak to its wifi capabilities. Has Dolby Vision and HDR but so does Roku. Great device but if you dont plan on gaming or setting up a plex server, i would recommend stick to a Roku or ChromeCast and save yourself a few dollars. I own all 3 devices and the competitors are far easier to use right out of the box of you're not a tech savvy person.

This streamer is a great alternative if you don't want to use the Apple TV. The sound quality on my home theater system was much better when I started using the Nvidia Shield for all of my streaming and the AI video upscaling is also a great feature if you watch older videos that haven't been remastered yet. Another plus is since this runs on android, you can sideload many other cool apps. I was skeptical at first because of the price, but I haven't looked back since switching over.

The Nvidia Shield TV is an outstanding product for what it is. I originally had a firestick HD for streaming, a Steam Link for connecting to my PC, and a Raspberry Pi powered retro console, which as you can imagine, became very cumbersome due to all of the cables and devices. All of these were functional on their own, but with the Shield TV I was able to condense them down nice and cleanly. It's far more reliable than the Firestick, and works just as well as the dedicated Steam Link device. I've had no trouble connecting any of my bluetooth controllers to it, making gaming instantly accessible. The TV remote that comes with this model is really nice. It has a really good weight to it, and the buttons light up when in motion, so it's really easy to know what buttons you're pressing even in the dark, not to mention those times where it falls down and you can't see. All in all, a fantastic product I can't recommend enough.

Good device for streaming. Would like more storage for recording. The one area that should have more memory.

Fantastic product and I got rid of Apple TV !!!! Just the overall experience is great from the video and audio

I cannot recommend the Shield TV highly enough. There is not a better streamer on the market (unless you're locked into the Apple ecosystem). It's fast, and the AI upscaling to 4k is fantastic. Recently updated to Android 11.
