It’s snappy and quick. Mostly customizable. My only knock is for google tv. I can’t stand the banner ads at the top. I use it for Plex and it handles that wonderfully.

A great streaming service. Out of the box, it's an easy to use Android TV, which is nice because you are not hit with advertisements all the time like you are with other popular streaming devices.
Even better, this is good if you have a nerdy side and want to play around with things like a Plex server.
I would only plan to stop using it if I am just buying the next model to come out.

The reason I got this was to play my PC library on my TV since consoles are so hard to get a hold of, and this tiny little box does the job perfectly! Beautiful AI upscaling tech, and with Android TV as its OS, I have more options than just my Steam library. Overall, great purchase. If you are looking for a console alternative, you are looking at the best.

I've had nearly every streaming device and the Nvidia Shield is simply the best. It's more responsive than others, no lag when pushing any menu button. The AI upscaling makes for an awesome viewing experience. The UI us pretty simple and user friendly. There is no streaming device that I've owned or used that's as beautiful as this one. The games available are perfect and abundant. Spent the money. It's well worth it.

This is probably the only device (besides the Steam link) that lets you stream your PC games to your TV.
But it is also expensive, almost the price of an XBOX series S. I think if the price was lower it would totally be worth it.
The software and response in this device is top notch though.

Highly recommended. I bought this to seamlessly play my GEFORCE Games on my TV comfortably. It was everything I had hoped for, You can also install apps from the Google Play store, like tv apps or if you're into gaming you can even install Retroarch. It boots up fast, all apps that I have installed loads very quickly even YouTube TV. Think of this as a powerful Roku but with more options.

The set up is really easy. I personally use it for game emulation and general streaming and it handles both very well. The AI upscaler actually makes a difference when watching videos on netflix and other apps. It has every video streaming app except appletv+. I would highly recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have a smart tv.

I brought this sometime ago and have been using it on my big screen TV for my all in one screening needs. The apps are great and Nvidia Shield's updates are timely.
Major up grade from Amazon Fire stick. My only compliant would be the price, but if you find it on sale it would an even be a better deal.

This is by far the best smart tv device out there. I upgraded to this from the 2017 model to get the 4k AI upscaling and it's totally worth it. I have encountered a few issues though such as the YouTube app freezing and requiring a full system reboot and the volume on the remote often gets stuck going to min or max by itself. Not sure if this is the hardware fault or an Android issue.
