Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a 380X tv box for about 7 years, I paid 30 bucks for it online. One day it refused to turn on, so I went to my local Bestbuy to buy another brand box, my firestick was way too slow and I had it in the closet. This is no joke, there was times that pressing a button that would take up to a minute to respond to the command, so I just tossed that piece of garbage to the trash. So, it had to be a firebox, apple TV or something. I saw the shield, looked at the reviews and they were great, but the price was a little too intimidating, then I saw that it had a video pad and free online games. I bought it. The first thing I did not like was that the remote battery died after 3 months, the Google play store no good, I couldn't even install Chrome, neither Firefox browser, I had to go to their respective webpage and I had to download a downloader to make it posible. But it was fast, very fast compared to the rest of my boxes. I could live with that. some of the free to play games(I don't buy new games) I played a few. Everything was tolerable until the expiration of its warranty expired, from then, it became just a piece of junk. Two years with minor and fixable problems. I started to notice that the free to play games were disappearing to count of only 3 games. The Wifi has been messing up very badly, I thought there was no way the shield was failing, so I just kept calling Spectrum almost every 12 hours, until they sent me a technician and he found nothing wrong with my connection. It is just hateful to be watching a game and all of the sudden your streaming ends abruptly out of no reason. I kept blaming Spectrum, I couldn't believe my shield was failing like that. Until I waited for it to drop again, I ran to my laptop, ran a speed test, marvelous; i did the same thing with my son's tablet and the test? Flawless; I tried my cellphone wifi, and everything was just fine. I ran a speed test using the analiti app. I ran the test and it was dead, no wifi(Disconnected, please try again later), I pressed the key to retest it and nothing, then the application gives you the option to reconnect, I did that, and it worked, three hours later it did it again, it became so frustrated that I din't know what to do to reset it. disconnecting from the power cable... thousands of times. resetting through the commands, thousands of times, the problem persisted. I factory reset it to see if there was a software issue, I had to download all my apps back again and yes, it seemed a little faster and worked with no problems the whole day, the day after the problem resumed like I did nothing to it. It became a piece of junk. Now, the it refuses to connect, it don't matter what I do, is dead after two years, 200 hundred dollars for two years of not so good service against 30 bucks for 7 years with a cheap tv box? I thing the tale tell the story itself. Buy cheap boxes, you may die by the fifth one and you won't spend the $200 dollars for an expensive piece of expensive junk. Now I have a beautiful black brick with no wifi. Thanks NVIDIA! Thanks for building a box which only last its warranty. I do not recommend it.

If you do not want Roku or FireTV but want one of the most powerful streamers this is one of the better choices. I really like this but decided to return it due to a Android limitation on High fidelity audio (note other streamers have the same issue I later found out.). A very robust remote, circle control takes a few days to get used to. Does allow some streaming gaming. Small form factor and better connections than some streamers.

The best andriod TV ... fast process and good picture... I really love it

Best streaming deck you can buy! It also allows you to play games on your TV through NVIDIA. I usually use it for streaming.

Overall it runs smooth, can install pretty much any android apps, and the AI upscaling is a noticable difference. My only complaint is support for Hulu is lacking so it sometimes gives errors when opening the app.

I have 3,that should say something. Great great streamer with tons of bells & whistles that aren't just fluff. I do have one suggestion for anyone looking to buy Nvidia Shield, GET THE PRO MODEL. That extra bit of RAM makes a big difference imo. I've got 3 different models & the ones with more RAM offer a better experience. If you're looking for a streaming device & don't mind spending some extra cash on a quality product this is your ticket. I've had one for 5 years & have always been more than happy with my purchase. Go ahead, pull the trigger!

Amazing steaming device. Super fast and has every app available to download you can think of. The remote is easy to use. Plenty of customization.

Love the shield, way better than the apple TV imo. Have been using the shields for the past few years. The price is pretty high for how long it's been around though

This is the best streaming media player you could buy. Very easy to set up and very fast. I’m on my 4 NVIDIA Shield and enjoying every one of them.

Nvidia shield is a great product and easy to use very fluid and smooth and the remote control is excellent on it

This thing is too of the line works grate. It even makes some of the videos you watch better with AI up scaling it's impressive.

The best Android Box EVER!!!! This thing does it all Plays games Streaming Music Everything Get one NOW!!! The end

Got this for my boyfriend as a gift. He’s very excited about the prospect of using it for gaming. Very fast compared to our old fire stick.

This one is faster not sure it’s noticeable or not but it has atmos support and Dolby vision support not to mention the AI upscaling is a big plus!!

Very good device for android TV, fast, good remote, all the streaming services, best specs. Expensive thou, with an $50 chromecast with google tv you can basically do most thing as with this device.

I had the original Nvidia Shield for over 10+ years. It still works. h However, I wanted to upgrade to the newer version because of my Bose Atmos system and other newer technologies. You can't go wrong with Nvidia, quality and performance that lasts.

I really like it if u like streaming get this product it's super fast it's the best streaming device out there right now it's also good for gaming

This device was already perfect in many ways and has now been perfected even further with dolby vision support and AI upscaling. Highly recommended!

I was watching Netflix and YouTubeTV on a 4k vizio TV using my Xbox Series X for the last 4 years because I didn't like the Vizio UI. The difference between that and watching the same quality on the NVIDIA Shield is literally night and day. Blown away. It's like i have a brand new tv.

I use this mostly to watch Netflix, ATT TV (yes you can sideload the app), YouTube, and Plex. I have not had any issues with either version of the Nvidia Shield TV. I do prefer this one for better picture since I have a LG OLED TV and atmos speakers. Amazing setup and I highly recommend it. I'm also a gamer, but prefer PlayStation. However, occasionally I will purchase games on Steam. Now that I have a way to play those away from my PC and get free games also that's great! I haven't played any games with GeForce NOW yet, but am looking forward to giving it a try.
