    Boots up incredibly fast compared to my old Mibox. love how the remote lights up any time you pick it up, and the remote locator is priceless. Has all the audio and video customization options anyone could ever want out of an Android TV box. Initial setup was a breeze. haven't tried playing games on it yet. 4k Streaming looks perfect, and the Dolby Atmos always has me looking around for where that sound just came from. To wrap up, this bad boy is worth every penny, and Best Buy had it here pretty quick.

    Second Time Around

    This is my second purchase of the NVIDIA-SHIELD. The first one (bought just 2 weeks earlier) just stopped working all of a sudden. So, I was quite skeptical with this one. There must have been a defect with the first one, because my experience with #2 is totally different. It has definitely proven it's worth in usability. We use it to mainly to catch local stations in other viewing areas. When connected directly to the WiFi, there is very minimal buffering and the pictures are very clear. I am satisfied.

    My family loves the nvidia shield. Its easy to use and it sure beats paying a cable bill every month of more than $100 so it pays for itself in a couple of months. Would also like thank BESTBUY.COM they have always had what i was looking for and their prices are always great. Except for the ps5 disk version ive been trying for that for several months. I dont blame them for that though. Still havent been able to get 1 yet. Thank you Bestbuy.... You guys are the best.....

    Blows Roku Ultra away - 4k, Dolby Vision/Atmos

    Better in all ways other than the UI of Roku Ultra 2019. More codecs supported. Supports Dolby Vision (Roku does not). Sound quality seems better even though they are speced the same. If you only have a soundbar you may not notice the difference. With a full stereo and discrete Atmos speakers it sounds awesome. (Still not as good as Bluray though.) Faster to load all apps. Supports all Android TV apps so you can search the web for TV shows. Only downside is the weird triangle remote and button placement. Took away one star for this. Easy to set up and works great. Very happy with it.

    Amazing Streamer but expensive

    I don't understand the purpose of gaming on this thing outside of emulators. Streaming play back is great. I have the controller - it pairs fine. I bought it primarily for plex direct paly playback and it's great. I didn't want a fire stick or branded device that was owned by a content provider like Apple TV or Firestick. I was a Roku guy for 10 years - these are amazing. Get the right USB stick for it and expand the storage. Also use the Ethernet port for higher speed. I do recommend the regular version over this one.

    Best streaming device I have used. I have owned Apple TV 4K for 2 years and this trumps it in every way. The AI upscaling does a very good job on sub 4k content except for on 2D content such as Anime or Cartoons. The interface is smooth. It has chromecast for streaming, I used it with the Oculus Quest 2. And you can use Nvidia Gamestream or Moonlight to stream games from the cloud or a local PC which is what I do. Just make sure you have a strong internet connection preferably wired and you will be good.
