    The Best Streaming Media Device on the Market

    The Nvidia Shield TV 2019 is hands down the best Streaming Media Device currently on the market. I have several Roku Products and own several smart TVs, but none of them are as snappy and intuitive as the Nvidia Shield TV. The AI upscaling is a really useful feature for lower resolution content displayed on a 4K screen. You pay a premium for this device, but it is definitely worth it.

    The NVIDIA Shield Pro is one of the best electronic investments we have made. We have a few of them throughout the house and we even take one with us when we're traveling. If you're looking for a streaming media player - get this! You won't be disappointed!!

    Great streaming device with added Plex support. I was having issues streaming my h265 movie collection on Plex from a Roku Ultra. Switched to the Nvidia shield pro and every works better. The device is quicker, ai upsacling is a nice improvement when watching YouTube TV, and has the option to be used as a plex server.

    Shield tv is very powerful and well-built. Remote is great if you program it to work with your tv. Play store on here is better than what you get with the Amazon fire boxes. Shield is also very versatile and regularly upgraded. It's a bit expensive unfortunately, but if you can afford it, get it. It will last you years!

    This is the holy grail of streaming media players. I've had and used 2 variations of the Xiaomi mi box and had no idea what I was missing. An Android TV experience without input lag and frequent was par for the course until I bought this. Powerful enough to run it's own Plex media server. Easy to setup, the entire world of streaming media at your fingertips.

    I have used many android boxes including firestick and the shields have always out performed the rest. This is my first pro and I haven't owned it long enough to say if or how much better it is than the standard shield but so far it has worked flawlessly. I use a high demand streaming service and anything sub par causes issues. I am and always will be a shield owner.

    Is very good at streaming just about any protocol. That’s what I got it for, for my video file library. It also has easy access to other streaming services and Chromecast. These were bonuses for me. However, I have difficulty with the displayed names of my video files, especially for TV. If it would just display my file names and sort by then, that’d be great. But it tries to be too clever, and about 30% of the time displays the wrong name. Frustrating, and why it doesn’t get a 5.

    I was looking for a firestick replacement and was skeptical on the shield since it’s been out almost 5 years but this machine is a beast and an excellent replacement!

    This is the only streaming box I've found that will do audio pass through. Yes for Plex and Kodi too. The Pro model works better than the non-pro one although the non-pro one never gave me a problem when running movies through the Plex add-on for Kodi. But in regular plex it was start freezing ever so slightly which made the movie viewing no good. The problem wetn away with the PRo.
