    Our old firestick became the slowest device ever, decided to replace it with this bad boy. And it has been going strong, apps open fast and it even has a feature to close apps at a tap of a button, no having to going into setting to force close again. Highly recommend

    Killer little guy. Way better sound produced than the built in streaming app on my vizio. This thing actually works how and when it's supposed to. Was expensive but I don't regret it at all

    I have always liked what Nvidia has done with their streaming devices and this one doesn't disappoint. I also own the 2015 500GB model. I pair this one with my Samsung S95B and it's an incredible combination. Definitely my favorite streaming device and would recommend this to friends and family, especially if you want the best of the best with continuous updates for years to come.

    I've had this for about a month, still getting used to all the extras in contrast to my roku 4K box and my Firestick 4k's. I like the ease in casting video and sound from my phone to the Shield, the 2 USB slots for external and/or removable storage, the easy to grip remote, and how it can play most audio and video codecs with ease. My only real complaint is that the picture shows the Shield with a stand, but no stand is included in the purchase. A bit misleading, nVidia, NOT cool.

    I love my new Shield. It does exactly what I wanted it to do, with little fanfare. Setting up the Shield part was very easy, plug it in, enter your wifi credentials and you're good to go. Setting up the Plex Media Server took a little bit of work, but it wasn't bad. Check online videos for step by step instructions before you get started. I added an external HD for media, and I'm adding movies from my collection every weekend. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

    Upgrade to your older Smart TV

    I have an older Samsung Smart TV, and the hardware running the Smart part is getting dated, with some of the apps having been removed because of agreements (Or lack of) with Samsung. The TV is still good. To avoid this, I purchased the Shield Pro to return the performance, and have a better interface/single place to go when using all my streaming services. This really works well. The performance is as advertised, excellent, and I plan to purchase another one for the other TV in the house.

    I bought this NVIDIA because I was tired of my Roku devices locking up or taking forever to load. Also Roku is not supporting HBO MAX. WOW what a difference. This thing is seriously fast. Especially compared to the Roku. I love it. On top of that it has a ton of fun games to play on it and I can watch HBO MAX. I wish I would have switched to Android TV a long time ago too. The format is great. Highly recommend!

    The Nvidia Shield TV is the best Plex client out there. I own the Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, Roku Ultra and they're not as good as the Nvidia Shield TV. The Roku comes very close, but the audio output through HDMI doesn't sound as clear and wide as the output from the Shield TV. Devices were plugged directly into receiver or soundbar to ensure a direct signal and the Shield always sounded the best. My only complaint is that there aren't many Network TV apps that support Android TV. If you watch anything on the Discovery Networks, too bad. You'll have to cast from your tablet, phone or web browser.

    I've had a number of streaming devices, including an Apple TV, and this is hands down the best there is. Also, streaming sticks work well enough for their price, but this will save you a lot of time and frustration. You will have no more daily annoying problems (slowdowns, crashes, freezing, buffering issues, etc). This is worth the price. I would recommend buying this and using it for years opposed to buying a $30.00 to $50.00 streaming stick (that has small, but rather annoying issues) every year.

    Best 4K steamer. With A.I. upscaling if you're watching something in 1080p it will automatically upscale to 4K! Dolby Atmos, I can keep going!

    This is my second purchase of the Shield Pro, this time for a recently purchased Roku TV in a bedroom. Suffice to say that it's a HUGE improvement over the Roku software. It just works and the upscaling is an added bonus.

    This was an excellent solution to my streaming problems via PC/Plex. I have an other computer running Win10 and it just wouldn't play 4K HDR10 videos very well (File sizes over 60GB each) via Plex. The Shield Pro is exactly what I needed to be able to stream and AI Enhance all video content to 4K without any noticeable quality loss on my Samsung Q70R. Also I am able to game stream from my gaming PC to the TV with 0 ping via Cat6. I can play racing games and metroidvanina games with ease.

    AI Upscaling is amazing

    I would recommend this product to anyone with a 4K TV. The Ai upscaling is amazing. It takes standard Movies and upscales them to 4K like quality. The extra level of details is really something you have to see for yourself. The one SNAFu i had with unit was that it would not login to my Orbi Wifi network because i don't have different network names for 2.4g and 5g. Nvidia support was useless. I finally figured it out by changing the bandwidth from Auto to 5g and it connected.

    Just needed to install a custom loader, not because the provided loader doesn't work, it was more a personal preference The box is fast, and the AI picture enhancement works very well. I haven't tested Dolby Vision because of my TV does not support it, but Dolby Atmos works well I'm very happy with my purchase. I had 3 or 4 Android TV boxes in the past and this one is the best
