    Fantastic and worth every cent! We had a long term problem with audio dropping from Direct TV and streaming services. I replaced virtually everything from the TV to the receiver (all high end), same problem. Direct TV came out and replaced the DVR, same problem. The NVIDIA Shield was recommended by a friend, installed the Shield in about 2 minutes and the system works perfect. ATMOS and surround work better than ever and now all the streaming services are available with one click. I wish I would have learned about this a few weeks sooner!

    The Nvidia Shield Pro is by far my favorite streaming device. I've used various versions of Roku, Fire TV, and even an Apple TV. All of these other streamers have limitations based on their eco-system. The Shield is the most neutral as a generic android platform that supports many different streaming apps. Using the Shield as a media server to access local files on a NAS has also been the easiest experience amongst streamers.

    This is without a doubt the best streaming device available. I know there are a lot of Roku Fanboys out there or just elderly people who don't know any better but with the click of a button you can end up side loading whatever it is you want to put on this device. I have three TVs and I have them on all three of them. There is no other streaming device I would ever buy.

    A visual feast but clunky UI and remote....

    Powerhouse processing power and great upscaling but the remote is clunky and the Android OS can't touch Roku. Watching live sports I find myself constantly hitting the wrong button to try to rewind or fast forward and often wind up changing channels instead. Overall, unless you're using it for gaming (which I am not) I cannot recommend the premium cost of this over the incredibly intuitive UI of a Roku and a much more user-friendly remote.

    Not to much of an upgrade to the previous Nvidia, It's slightly faster then the previous one. The best part of the pro is the remote much better that the other one, It has a off button plus a better volume control and a shortcut to Netflix button.

    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

    I researched for months the nvidia shield features and it’s price tag. I was hesitant because I was used to firestick and did not want to spend the money . It does not disappoint! Right out of the box the device was up and running within minutes. The device is a major upgrade from a firestick in every aspect. Handles multiple APKs flawlessly. Ai upscaling is very cool. 16 gigs for apps is plenty with the ability to expand with usb. You will not regret. I ordered a remote cover from Amazon and shield game controller and shield stand from nvidia directly as Best Buy did not carry it.

    Smart TVs suck, get a streaming box

    I recently bought a 4K Samsung smart TV, and while I was generally satisfied with the picture quality, there were some performance issues with certain apps. I wanted a machine that could, at a minimum, process Netflix 4K shows and movies without artifacts, but I was also interested in streaming games from my PC to my TV. For this purpose, the Shield Pro was the device I settled on. While Android TV has some quirks compared to Samsung's Tizen OS, I feel that the positives greatly outweigh any issues I've had with it.

    I also have the 500GB Pro model from before & it’s only slightly better in my opinion. The upconversion feature works but anything less than 720p gets massive grain so not worth it on that content my Panasonic 4K player blows this away in that department in fact Amazon, Netflix & Youtube content i all watch on the player instead. If you don’t have a shield at all I do highly recommend this for its streaming potential & the fact it supports Dolby Vision the main reason I upgraded. There is supposed to be a better processor in this one but I don’t see any difference between the 2 devices.

    This thing is fast. I love the AI upscaling as well. It's much better than I expected. The interface is easy to use and Google Assistant built in is great. The remote, although an improvement over last generations Shield TV, still leaves a lot of room for improvement. The Netflix button should be programmable, along with a couple more programmable buttons. That's really know only nag. The price is a bit high, but if you want the best streaming box out there, this is probably it.
