Very simple to use. Has powerful internals that you can even play video games on. Portable, so you can take it pretty much anywhere. I love this thing! The price is high but the quality is worth it.

This is more plain than the Apple TV, but it has everything we need. It's also a bit simpler to use, and with an excellent, more traditional remote. I haven't gamed on it yet, but it looks promising.

1st one I got through Best buy.com. Got a refund and bought another one that work fine. It is a nice streaming box, but I had to take a star away for the DOA. Find your remote feature is cool. But you need to download an app on your phone and make sure it is enabled. Lost one remote already.

Really enjoying this box so far. Upgraded to Android 11 and haven't had any issues so far. The operating system is snappy and easy to use. Ads are there on the home screen but aren't annoying as most people make them out to be. Build quality is great as well as the picture quality! Just purchased this device but am definitely enjoying it as you can do so many more things compared to an Apple TV. Nvidia shield you can sideload apps while on Apple TV you cannot. Highly recommend this item!

Best Console for Cyberpunk - 4k Upscaling is Real

If you are in the market for a new Smart 4k Television -OR- a Streaming Device this should be your solution. Television solutions quickly get antiquated software and suffer from packet loss even with a wired ethernet connection. Chromecasts, Firesticks, Rokus, Apple TVs they all cannot hold a candle to the QUALITY and VALUE the NVIDIA SHIELD delivers. It is a Top-Tier streaming device that provides a visible 4k upscale experience to compatible content. It allows you to play retro game systems including gamecube flawlessly. The built-in network mappable storage and plex server support will have you master of your digital archive in no time. This is the greatest streaming device you can get.

Great streaming device. I use it to stream mostly video content. 4K AI upscaling works great and Dolby vision content looks incredible. I would not consider another streaming device.

SHIELD AI upscaling to 4K RULES!

Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.

The AI video upscaling to 4K is OUTSTANDING! I was prepared to give up my streaming cable service because it only offers up to 1080p. The NVIDIA Shield changed that. I am massively impressed with what it can do. Additionally it is very quick and responsive to input.
Only knock is that it is a little pricey (in my opinion worth it) and a little to light. Make sure that your HDMI cable is not to thick because it will be difficult to get it to stay down.

So much better than my Apple TV 4K. Better remote than Apple, faster, and Android TV in general is just the better OS. The 4K video upscaling is top notch. You want this if you have a 4K TV.

I have 3 of the older model and I got this one to go with my new LG big screen and sound bar because this model supports Dolby Atmos. Setup is easy and I like being able to control the TV, Soundbar and Shield TV all from one remote. The remote is a nice upgrade from the old style, using buttons for sound instead of the touch slide, motion activated back lit, etc.. and I will replace the remotes from my older Shields with this new remote when it is available for individual purchase. I primarily use my Shield TV to stream recorded TV from my PLEX server, HDHomerun for Live TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. I find extra value from the large available game library with Shield TV, when entertaining we like to play games like You Don't Know Jack.

Most smart TV's, even the high end ones, have pretty laggy interfaces and apps run pretty bad or have limited support on them. This thing, while getting a little old on the hardware side, still runs incredibly well with the android tv OS. Apps are snappy, you can side load apps if you want, and its perfect for streaming with things like steamlink or plex.

Great product. Weird issue with Samsung soundbar?

I think this is probably one of the easier streaming devices to use once you learn the UI. Definitely prefer it over my old Roku Ultra. I did have one weird issue with it with my Samsung soundbar where audio was a little quieter than I expected. It appears to have its own volume setting (I found it within the Google Home app). Shield volume was at 47%, once i set it to 100% what I got previously at volume level 8 on my soundbar I now get at like a volume of 4. Weird issue but aside from that its ana amzing product and I would most definitely recommend it.

Buying the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro was one of the best decisions I have made. I was skeptical if I needed it given my TV's built in Smart TV functionality.
However, this box has brought my 4k TV to life. Not only is it extremely responsive and pleasurable to use, the AI upscaling is far better than any I have seen before. Watching upscaled 1080p content just looks beautiful on my 4K TV, and I no longer feel like I constantly have to hunt down 4K versions of everything.
The AI upscaling alone has made it worth the purchase. Everything else feels like a cherry on top. The box is sleek, visually appealing, and discrete. I would never go without this device on my 4K TV.
