    I've been using Nvidia Shield TV's since they came out in 2015 and they are still my goto device for consuming media on any television. The latest TV I purchased one for actually included Google TV, the the speed, flexibility & quality of the Shield Pro puts all other interfaces to shame. Add the superior remote to the equation and I didn't even bother to try out the included interface on the Hisense TV,

    I bought this c*** for casting PC to TV for gaming, because it advertised as a "gaming" gear combined with a tv box. BUT, after vasting whole evening, trying to cast my PC I found out that this feature was discontinued last year!!! and they didn't even removed guides how to cast your PC screen from their official nvidia website so it was so confusing. They didn't have any information about the discontinuation on their website and I had to find this on 3rd party websites. As for TV box functionality, it is faster than my $500 smart tv, but not much. also some apps were laggy, menu itself lagged occasionally and google assistant didn't work for some reason. I think it is not aceptable for such a pricy thing. So, I'm just going to refund this overpriced piece of c*** and buy long HDMI cable

    A must have addition to any gamers TV! The built in steam link function is a god send when you want to olay your desktop or laptops games in another room, or on a TV in the same room without an HDMI cable strung across the room. The latency is very manageable with good WiFi. As far as normal streaming goes, it is an extremely fast device and loads all 4K content very quickly. The interface is minimalist and organized compared to the competitors thanks to having google TV. The built in GPU is great for light gaming and mobile gaming.

    The best Android TV in the market. Shiled pro is fast, easy to setup and use. The picture quality and audio produced by shield is better than native TV apps. I am using Samsung qled with yamaha rx-a8a, sounds from shiled pro is amazing. You can find a difference even with basic app like youtube. Dolbly atmos, vision and HDR effects are great. Remote control shape is bit weird but you get to use to it quickly.

    Very similar to original shield from 2018, very few upgrades to be worth the price tag. Same body style, different remote control minus the game controller. Nvidia should have totally revamped and updated it. Great for streaming movies and tv shows and games online combined with fast internet speeds from your ISP.

    I love this thing! It does what every other streaming box does but better! Did you know that most streaming boxes dont support both dolby vision and dolby atmos on all your apps? Well the Nvidia Shield supports both of them on all the apps that use those features.

    I have a 4k Projector and full theater set up. Have been using Apple TV and Amazon Box. I really like the clean interface with the Shield. It also is fast and very powerful. I have moved to it as my Primary streaming box. Bought it Black Friday for $149.00. I have been pleased very with the product and like the remote as well.

    Nvidia shield is a great media player. It works very well. It can stream up to 4k hdr content and is able to run games. The most interesting thing is that the shield can run a plex media server and that it has AI upscaling which means that it can low resolution content more sharper.

    My house has shield in every room! It turns our old TVs into smart TVs. So simple to use, lightning fast, and space saving. I would definitely recommend anybody using a fire stick or other streaming devices to look into the shield as it is far superior than any others I’ve tried. I recommended to plenty of friends and family!

    The Shield Pro is what you need to have one device control your TV and external devices. It is easy to set up and operate. It makes almost any TV a smart TV. My only regret is not buying one sooner!

    Best media box on the market....only problem is it doesn't like to stay paired with the box ...with that said you can use your tv remote to control everything...so thats why i gave it a 4 and not a 5 .....box is perfect for kodi this is my second nvidia shield....seems the new remote is more sturdy but like the simplicity of OG remote

    I had pretty high expectations for the NVIDIA Shield even before I bought it. After receiving this and using it for over a week... WOW! This is without a doubt the best Streaming Media Player you can get right now! The price is 100% fair, and the quality is superb. It's also super easy to set up. 10/10!
