    The NVIDIA Pro Shield is a fine piece of hardware, the tegra processor and built in graphics chip make for a great NVIDIA NOW experience. The most capable 4K TV companion for HDR streaming and HD gameplay. The backlit remote is wonderful.

    The AI 4k changes are great for content 720p and above. The remote improvements are also great. Everything else that made the shield tv a great unit are still there: game streaming from a PC, android TV apps, and solid performance on all I've used.

    NVIDIA - SHIELD Android TV Pro is amazing, swift, and easy to setup. The remote controller is very nice and easy to navigate, the remote control also has a backlight, and it senses when you pick it up then turns on the light.

    I got one of these for Christmas, my daughter saw what and how it streams and then she bought one too.I have used Roku, Apple, other AndroidTV boxes, Firestick, this is by far the one. It can almost do anything I need, including games.

    Best Streaming Device Out There - PLUS RETRO GAMES

    The SHIELD is the best Android TV streaming box on the market. You get 4K streaming, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X surround sound, and 4K Chromecast support. Plus you can use it as a Plex media server to store and stream all your personal media. The SHIELD also can be used as a smart home hub for Google Assistant and/or Alexa. And if all this is not enough, The SHIELD also plays games, including Android games, PC titles, GeForce Now, and Google Stadia. And the best part: you can use the SHIELD to set up your own retro gaming console system, from the Atari 2600, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super NES, Sega Genesis, Neo Geo, Playstation, Sega Dreamast, N64, Gamecube, and Nintendo Wii. The SHIELD commands a premium price, but you get what you pay for.

    The good: picture and sound is amazing. Unit is very versatile. The bad: Reboot, Reboot, Reboot. In an average week, it 4-7 times. Sometimes no sound, mostly though it locks up. Factory reset because HULU stopped working and everything online suggested to fix it, I did, with the final suggestion being a factory reset. It fixed Hulu and I was hoping it would fix the other issues of no sound and locking up, but it didn't. Using it with a LG C2 OLED. It makes the TV pic "pop" even more than the awesome picture of the TV itself. I also use a Vizio V51-H6 sound bar. I can overlook the sound issue because it may be the sound bar, but I don't understand why it locks up as much as it does. I'm only using it for streaming.

    Nvidia shield, had one for over 10 years now, this is one for the basement. Little bit newer version basically just as good as the other one! Streams better than any streaming box I've ever owned before. Highly recommended! Worth every penny!

    Bought for my grandparents who find it very easy to use and when they can’t figure something out they just ask the remote to do it. And the picture quality is amazing along with the transition effect between actions are smoother. Very happy

    If you don't have an android or Google tv built in TV, then this is great option. Its delivers excellent picture and sound quality. Oh and you can do some serious or not so serious gaming.

    This device is fast. Much quicker than any amazon device. Has a killer find my remote feature that I wish others had. Supports anything you can throw at it. Great selection of android apps. AI enhancement looks great. Just not sure if its $200 good.

    If you stream most of your content, then this is for you! After years of Rokus, Firesticks, and Cubes, i finally upgraded to a ShieldPRO and it is awesome! Much faster, less bugs, the UI is really intuitive and I like the Google Store for apps much better than Amazon’s. The remote takes some getting used to, but thats the only minor flaw i can think of.

    Shield Pro is the only Plex player I have found to be able to stream (over internet) 4k content with little to no buffering, even when skipping around. The nvidia GeForce experience PC game streaming feature is quite incredible.

    If your tv isn't smart or you want an extremely powerful device to stream, this is for you. Fast, feature laden and easy to setup and add apps to. Not cheap but worth it.

    Great, But Not The Best

    Great device for streaming and gaming. Compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR, and Dolby Atmos sound. The Shield also gives you access to GeForce (an online library of next gen games available to purchase and download, and it does have the ability to pair to xbox and PlayStation controllers.) The device itself is extremely compact and can be stored away just about anywhere out of sight. Android doesn’t have the app support Apple does, but if you know how to side load, you’ll have no issue with that. The interface is not great, it looks really generic and has just, very basic features. For some, this is no issue at all. At first, it never bothered me, but then after having it about 6 months, I decided to get an AppleTV 4K, and the features are some much better on an AppleTV when compared side-by-side (Apple’s “watch next,” “sports,” etc. tabs are great features, and there is nothing the Shield aftershock that is similar). Overall it’s a great device to side load apps and games (sideloaded mine with retro NES and SNES games) and stream content.

    Best Android streamer on the market!

    After looking for a very long time for a streamer that plays all of the main services in 4K with Atmos and being disappointed time and again after my purchases (Roku doesn't do Dolby Vision at all, Apple TV wont play uTube in 4K or Prime in Dolby Vision or offer Fandango at all and it converts Dolby Digital Plus to PCM losing some performance in the process, Tivo Stream 4K won't play Vudu or Fandango in 4K and plays HDR completely messed up). This unit comes as a breath of fresh air. It plays ALL apps in whatever formats they offer! ALL OF THEM! And the picture quality is the best of all the streamers I've tried too (including 4K bluray players from the likes of Sony and Samsung)! Even the sound is excellent! If you are okay with the Android platform, this is the best streamer on the market!
