    Love this device. It is responsive and stable. I previously had a different streaming device and often got buffering, but not with this one. It is easy to set up and update. I recommend it to everyone.

    Will admit this was initially bought to steam games from my pc to my tv, but it has been an excellent streaming device for all my needs. I stopped using my sony tvs built in smart features as the shield was just faster. My only issue is there are apps that have errors often that don't happen on the tv itself. Mainly hulu. Which is pretty annoying but it is what it is. Other than that it is a great device when on sale.

    Great device for accessing services such as Netflix and Tidal. It has native support for x265/h265 video codes making it great for streaming from a home Plex server. You can even play simple games from Google Play Store on it as well. The AI upscaling of HD content to 4k is quite nice. Due to Bluetooth capability, you can connect controllers like the XBox controller to play games streamed from you home PC.

    Very fast compare to other cheap android tv devices. Only down side is it’s too expensive and not much improvement over last year’s model. I would recommend only for retro gamers and plex users.

    Holy crap. First off, if you have a Plex server just do it, just replace whatever your main streaming device is with this and call it a day. Outperforms my roku ultra by a mile. Cant speak for the remote I immediately set it up with my harmony set up but the shield pro itself is outstanding. Gamestream from my pc is seamless (everything is wired) and I prefer it much more than my steam link. I will be buying another one of these for my bedroom, it’s a beast.

    Pretty good so far, had it for like a month. Excellent picture quality, good for games from the android store or emulators. Had issues chromecasting, the solution was to revert the updates to the Chromecast app in the settings. It also does not have an HDMI cable which is a shame, seeing the high price already. That said, probably the best streaming box in the market.

    Make Your Dumb TV Smart Again

    This device is simple to connect and works well to add streaming services to an older television that is not a "smart TV". We were using an inexpensive casting dongle (Chromcast) and our cell phones or tablets to control but that is kind of clunky and was very frustrating most of the time. The Nvidia Shield works very well. It simified the process and opened up a lot of other possibilities as well. We are very happy with it.

    Love this product. very easy to use. Functions like any other media product, and smoother than the firestick. I literally do everything on this. If you have an LG TV with a magic remote, the magic remote can actually control it as well.

    by far the best streamer. I always shied away from this unit due to the fact I could do most on other streaming devices. well sure you can do on others but this is just made for people who like to tinker and need extra ports. by far this is the best streamer by far, but comes at a cost. if cost doesn't matter this is the one you want.. does everything well
