Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love this product. My husband has been wanting a new one for a while now and this might have been his favorite Christmas gift. It works great! No glitches. Runs super fast. Woukd totally recommended to anyone!

The Shield Pro is definitely the best media streamer of all time. Highly Recommended!

The Shield is a very sophisticated set-top box. It is not intended for novices. If you are looking to stream just Netflix, this is not the box for you. Don’t get me wrong, Netflix works great on it, but for the price, $199, it may be a waste of money compared to their streaming media. Your choice, it is a great machine. If you want a media center for all your media, then I would highly recommend it.

great and powerful device! we used it run kodi and stream live tv seamlessly

Speedy android tv UI. Great picture. Much better remote, with better volume control.

This is my first time using Android TV as I have been using Roku for years and I have always had my eye on the Nvidia Shield for a while. This is quite a powerful little box here and let me be clear on something, I see lots of un-official 3rd party Android TV boxes online but I couldn't take a chance using them because I don't know how stable they are so I spent the extra money for the shield to be sure I have full support and compatibility. Setup takes at most 5 to 10 minutes going through the Nvidia settings and google settings. It took me a while to understand the Android TV UI and it is alright not the best but I have gotten use to it. Majority of the most popular apps are available on Android TV but not all apps are available like Spectrum TV app, AT&T TV and NOW plus Xfinity which is a real bummer if you subscribe to their services. Remote control design I would of prefer the remote from the 2017 model of the Shield, the remote on the 2019 model I have gotten use to the feel but for sure I don't think other people will like the feel of it. Resolution settings you have to play around with it to your liking as I have seen their AI-scaling and it will depend on your tv if it makes a difference for you in your resolution picture. I really hope that more apps will come to Android TV because it will bring serious competition for all streaming devices.

Use every day. Very good product. Easy to use. Works great for 4K. Use for Plex server.

The best streaming device we have ever used. It was recommended by a number of people to me, Techies, gamers & everyday people all raved about it So I purchased it. Best addition to my streaming services that I have done! I would stronly recommend it!

Well worth the price works grate. I love it one of the best android Boxes I’ve used

One of the best streaming device. Plenty of customizations.

I bought this for my sister for mothers day and she absolutely loves it. She's told me over a dozen times how much its better than the firestick/box and she uses it everyday.

Best purchase I’ve ever made. I have really enjoy be able to watch any and everything

I purchased this after reading several positive reviews. I would say overall I am exceedingly pleased. The most positive thing I can say is that the AI up scaling is amazing. If you don’t get carried away with it the picture from an HD source can look very much like a 4k image. The App Store is plentiful with streaming sources you can expect. My only negative is that after tweaking a few settings the shield had trouble recognizing being connected to an Ethernet source. A factory reset took care of the issue though.

Best Smart TV device ever! I had the original and upgraded. The original was great, moved it up to the bedroom. This one now dominates the Livingroom. I like smartTV Devices since they are easier to update and have more features than smart TVs themselves. I'd prefer to get a dumb TV that looks great and not pay extra for smart features I don't use. Regardless, the Shield TV is great, get one!

So far so good. Definitely not for the faint of heart. You do have to work at this unit to take advantage of things like Plex using a NAS, external USB storage, and lots of other (non-gaming) things. But I love the ability to bounce between apps like desktop Windows without shutting down the other apps. Remote very good. Online help not up to date for UI settings. Have 4 other Amazon 4Ks and definitely prefer this unit over them. Overall very good purchase so far.

The Shield is, for the most part, an awesome device for 4K streaming, light gaming and even Plex server functionality. HOWEVER. It's been updated to include ads, which sucks. It often has this weird glitch where the audio stutters until you completely restart the device. And the remote. Good lord what a piece of crap this Toblerone-shaped remote is. It disconnects regularly and you have to go through a convoluted reset process each time. Now I guess it gave up entirely because it refuses to pair at all. Luckily I configured my LG CX remote to work, but it doesn't have complete functionality. Now I either need to consult Nvidia's dodgy customer service or drop 30 bucks on a new remote. I'm sorry, but for $200 I expect the thing to at least work. This isn't a $30 fire stick. I'd still recommend it just in case I got a defective remote, as the shield itself is pretty great overall. I've just had issues with accessories.

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.

very impressed with the unit. build quality was solid and easy to use and set up and the remote is very responsive. the interface is easy to see available apps built in as well as being able to down load from the play store. highly recommend!

This is hands down the best streaming device available and has been since the OG Shield in 2015. You name it and this thing can do it. Download any andorid app sure...be a plex server...why not. Play 4k Dolby Vision movies....easy. The only other option for a streaming device would be the Apple TV 4K but as far as functionality this one is far above and beyond better.

Purchased this for my LG TV to run different streaming apps. This blows Roku away, This is made by Nvidia, who is the leader in graphic cars as far as I and millions of others agree. Nvidia is a name brand to trust. So many more features than the Google Chrome and Roku I had before this. If you want to step up your game, this is the way to go!
