this thing does it all! ethernet port, usb port for external storage, google platform with android OS makes it easy to install your favorite streaming apps that arent available with competitors products. you can even side load apps or use your playstation controller for games. i havent even mentioned 4k AI up scaling either. much more to list here

I’m impressed by the picture quality, the colors are better and I can see more detail compared to my Apple TV.
The biggest downside is the awful remote. I was t a fan of the Apple TV remote but it is so much better than the remote that comes with this.
My primary reason for buying this is the ability to connect external storage and a wider range of apps, although no matter what I try the home screen is much more cluttered than on the Apple TV.
Overall I’d recommend this for ver an Apple TV, I just wish it had a better remote.

Got this to use as a plex server and player. So far the unit has crashed several times because 16gb is not big enough for a plex server. Once I added an external drive, I had issues trying to move the plex data to the new drive. Seems to be working now but I have not stress tested since. The plex client in my opinion is better than on the firestick and doesn’t crash unless I’m trying to view a bad source video. Eventually I may play some games on it but other streaming apps also work well. I have no tested this with my 4K or Atmos but I heard good things about it.

The AI upscaling feature is very good on this device and have not left it on to High by default as it barely encounters any issue and if it does encounter an issue it is due to low quality videos it has to work with to begin with. The versatility of the product is also good with it being able to act as a Plex server you can just plug in a external USB Hard drive and get your DVR and movie collection available on the go.

I am satisfied with my purchase. I’ve had some technical issues with my new tv and my previous streaming box. After researching a few days, I settled with the Nvidia shield pro; I am pleased I did. This streaming box is underrated. The UI is fluid, the remote feels good in the hand, and I’ve had no problems finding all of the apps I need. My only suggestion is to add a home button to the remote In future iterations.

LOVE THIS. Using for a 65" Sony OLED TV; the TV's native interface is laggy - this one is fast and smooth.
The images the TV generates as processed by this have to be seen to be believed.

Loved it so much had to get a second one for my family rm. This is a GREAT TV app hub. Constant app & device updates helps keep everything running smoothly. Unlike the baked in apps on your TV. Produces beautiful picture with Dolby Vision AND Atmos. The Bluetooth remote is great, no need for "line of sight" anymore. If you want a liklckity split fast, smooth and wide open TV app hub, this is your beast!!!

Best streaming hardwire device. Has so many possibilities.
You are probably interested in this because you know about its capabilities.
You can make this another streaming gaming platform, as well as a emulator for older games if you look online.
Also has AI enhanced to upscale picture quality and it works great.

I have been a shield user for some times now. I have tried all kinds of android boxes, fire sticks, and rokus. Nothing has ever come close to the performance and versatitly of the shield. I highly recommend anyone in the fence about the shield to just do it. You won't be sorry.

I have both shield pro and Apple TV 4K 2021. The shield is only better than the Apple TV 4K in 2 ways: 1) it can play 4k blu-ray demuxes perfectly via plex. AppleTV can play them, but sacrifices either Atmos or dolby vision. 2) the AI upscaling is pretty cool on the shield. But I enjoy using the Apple TV much more - not bombarded by ads, and I also find the shield to be somewhat buggy, sometimes I need to reboot it, sometimes it gets caught in a cec loop where it keeps turning on all my devices, etc.

This shield pro replaced my original pro I bought in 2015. That had the 500 gb drive in it, but I have external 4 TB drives now. Lol.
My old pro finally gave up the "ghost" after 7 years of medium usage and gaming. Look forward to another 7 or more years with this new unit. The Nvidia Shield Pro is the best android product period.
