Customer Ratings & Reviews

My wife and I have been die hard Apple cult members for a long time. We like the idea of keeping everything on the same ecosystem. It just works good when everything is made by the same manufacturer. After about a year of my business partner telling me I need to switch from Apple TV’s to Nvidia Shields I gave in and bought one. Over the past two years they’ve become our go to. I’ve bought 4 for myself and even have my parents on them now too. We love being able access apps like Kodi on a streaming box that actually outperforms an Apple TV.

Awesome box bought from an awesome retailer been with best buy for years from pc parts to consoles love this place and now nvidia shield 4k top notch

I haven't had it long enough to even sort of get a grasp on it, but I can say across the board, the "GUI", 'stock' for my 2019 65" 8600pua? it makes it look like... well what it is generally 1080p. With the shield it's 2k. I don't believe in calling "4k" 4k until 8k is the norm and then it can be 4k. I don't get why there's the exception/alteration when 4k hits the big time. But anyways. You touch the power button and it's on before you can say one word. Complete menu. I'll update after I magisk and plex it but don't get the tube or 8gb version. It sucks spending 250 for the controller and shield when I just bought a 900$ tv after-tax when I feel it should have (tv) performed this way from the start.

Great addition to any television. It adds gaming and streaming in one small package.

Get it! dont think about it just get it! Replaced my roku box and i havent looked back since. Watch some youtube videos to see just how much you can do with it. There are soo many things you can do with this that I cant even fit it all into this review.

We had the old shield the new one is Bette. But the remote to the new one is a game changer. And it is nice to have the better quality picture

I have been using the apple tv products for years and this thing blows them away. Yeah, it might be a little older of a product but its 100% worth buying in 2025, hands down.

4K , Dolby Atmos, AI upscaling , butter smooth interface , high end NVIDIA GPU, GEFORCE game streaming beats all competition hands down ,Including Apple TV , yes bit pricey , but this one makes you feel good about the investment , just go and get it if you have the budget , one final thing did I forget to mention the remote ? That Toblerone chocolate bar looking highly efficient remote , yes again don’t even think twice just get it , and don’t buy in $50 android boxes on amazon they are not worth it , how do I know ? Personal experience!

This is one of the best products I have ever bought, every time its turned on it works with no issues, from movies sporting events or anything inbetween this product works very well.

If you have a high speed internet connection and like to game as well as stream movies and shows, I recommend this. There is an extensive library of Steam and other PC game provider services available on it. You have to digitally own the game and have the GForce Now service, which is currently $5 per month. Check GForce Now to see what games are compatible. This machine is great, the user interface is very easy to use and it manages updates well. A big benefit is having all movie streaming services on one platform since Nvidia seems to be neutral territory and having them all work flawlessly. My PS4 hasn't gotten much attention since I bought this!

Upgraded from the Shield tube to the Pro version after 2 years. The Pro version is definitely worth the price premium over the tube. I mostly use the Shield pro for PLEX and it handles everything beautifully. Zero complaints other than the very high price, but for PLEX users this is the best option I have used

As an Android box, it's almost peerless. Great for videos, emulation, all forms of Android gaming. But it's high hook is Geforce Now, and that took a MASSIVE BLOW when more then half of the companies out there bailed on the initiative. Most of the games you probably already own on Steam are now no longer available, including DOOM, Diablo, and Call of Duty. There's still plenty left, it's not like you can't use the service, but it's far from a complete list of PC games. When it does work it's great, assuming you paid the $5 a month. Don't bother with the Free membership, I waited for over 5 HOURS to try a single game before I was forced to give up, having spent 1 solid hour at #2 in the cue. It's still a great box, and if you're not into the service, then it's flawless... accept for the high price and low availability. I give it a 4 out of 5, just because of the hassles that are involved with owning on.

Great device if your streaming netflix,hulu, disney plus also great for gaming way better than the fire stick

Got rid of my fire stick and i can tell the difference of the device speed and perfomance worth every dollars

I have told everyone I know to get one of these its super fast AND EASY TO USE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS IF YOU DONT BACK ALL THE WAY OUT OF KODI ALL YOUR RESPOSITORYS WILL BE GONE SO BACK THEM UP

Fully capable of being fully customizable, this is the most powerful streaming device anyone can ask for. despite having (potential) issues competing with their own product (costing $50 less) this is far and away the best at what it does. The 'upgrade' from the $150 version is worth it in every way, except maybe how much louder it runs. Easily missed when streaming, though, so I don't dock it for that. I hate the 'Netflix' button, but thankfully that's customizable with a 3rd party app. So much so that you can have multiple clicks do different things (short press/long press etc).

Went through two of these because the 1st one bricked itself overnight(it's first night) with an update gone wrong. BB happily let me exchange it. From there on it's been great. I originally got it because I needed something I could use with my received to stream to a 4K projector 20+ feet on the other side of the room. I tried many other devices but they couldn't complete the handshakes. This has been perfect and I also use it with our LG C9 to watch HBO Max movies in 4K/DV. There's a lot of other things you can do with these but that's all we needed it for.

Man, I love this thing! Great 4k streaming and Google TV integration. Nvidia really nailed it with the shield pro. Access to the Google play store for all the best games and streaming apps. Add a game controller and download games directly from Nvidia. I've added a external hard drive for more storage, like photos, games, and movies. Couldn't have made a better decision to buy this.

Plays everything. Super responsive. New remote is great. Owned the 2017 non-pro model, and I am happy they included Dolby Vision with this model. Still waiting on fix for color content switching.

If youre looking for a streaming media center this is it. Fast and easy to use. I run Kodi, Amazon and Netflix on it and couldnt be happier. Also very fun to game on
