Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't rate 5 Stars very often, nothing is perfect. But this Nvidia Shield just works. Responds quickly with remote like a brand new computer does. So easy easy to add apps with your Google Email Log on. I use this with many apps, but mostly Kodi. I watch mostly anything I like for NO subscription costs with Kodi. I cannot imagine anything better.

This is our 2nd one we have bought. We absolutely LOVE the shield. In our opinion it is THE BEST streaming device that is made today. We do all kinds of streaming with this. Its fast, all the time, It isn't large, its sleek designed. Holds tons of memory. Just all around worth paying for the best.

We have own one for years and picked up a second one for another tv Best streaming box I have used. I have used at least 3 others popular ones and this blow them out of the water! Fast and plenty of memory for all the apps you want. Yes a bit expensive but we’ll worth the price. Plus games! You can play games on this!

Great media. Awesome 4K and ai upscale works great

This thing is lightning fast. The only thing that I do not like is the remote; I love its ergonomics, but hate the Netflix button, as I find myself accidentally hitting up, thereby opening Netflix. Although, it is possible to remap this button with an app called Button Mapper by flar2.

Nvidia Shield purchased at Best buy excellent product super fast streaming box the best on the market. Great value at Best buy. Quick ez purchase and pickup.

Ive tried the fire stick , apple tv and this is by far my favorite of the three devices. If you know how to side load apps as well thus thing is amazing for that.

This thing is a complete beast! I love it for not only streaming movies, but playing retro video games with Google apps that allow it. Also Ant Stream works well with the game controller and something to consider (it is like Netflix for Retro games, mostly Arcade, C64, Amiga, etc). Highly recommend this thing, we have 2 now!

I had the Nvidia Shield TV (the cylinder one) for almost a month, then returned it and bought the Pro. I don't play games or do any sideloading. I use it for streaming from Vudu, Netflix, Synology server, and Amazon Prime. That's it. It is also cabled to my router. With the AI turned on, the non-Pro version was dropping frames like crazy with the AI turned all the way up. It was also going to a black screen frequently when streaming, then after 10 seconds or so would resume (I'm assuming it was buffering). This was on 4K as well as bluray content. It also was very slow in booting up. I replaced it with the Pro and those problems are in the past. This starts up right away, no black screens when streaming, I have the AI set to max and no frame dropping either. I have played to older standard def movies and the AI makes them look like high def. I even stopped part way through the first one and watched a few minutes through my Roku Ultra to see the difference the AI makes. On the Roku it was soft and a bit fuzzy. Absolutely amazing how they have the AI working. This is a definite keeper. My only issue is with the Amazon app. It says I might need to upgrade the app, but even with the OS upgraded to current, the message will not go away. I have not been able to figure out how to upgrade the Amazon app individually either. But it has been playing the high def movies from Prime just fine.

I own them all at one time or another, and hands down the NVIDIA shield. Is simply the very best android streamer around, if you have cable tv , you have to rent there cable box and the cost of owning is roughly. what it cost you for renting your cable box for a year, buy the bonus is at the end you own the NVIDIA shield and you still have to rent your cable box.......

5 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purchased specifically as a cheap Plex Server alternative for in home use. Had a lot of issues trying to set it up - Plex documentation and Shield documentation really didn't work smoothly in setting up the media server correctly. Ended up with 4 non-functioning servers before getting one up and running. Once I got it set up, it's been working great - my BR collection rips playback smoothly, even with Dolby TrueHD audio streams (had to get a separate HDMI splitter to get it to work with my TV and Soundbar, but that's a separate issue entirely) - my only other complaint is that the system itself is a little laggier than I expected for a $200 media player. On another note, I wish the Shield had been updated this year with an AV1 encoder/decoder so we could get HDR from YouTube... but I can't fault it for something I already knew going in, and it's been pretty great otherwise.

Wonderful purchase Fast and very easy to setup No lag

Does it's job, easy setup, had it for almost a year with daily use. Turned my older (10 y/o) 65' not so smart TV, smarter? sure will go with that. Pretty cool that via the HDMI it controls the TV power on/off but not the volume.

The set up was easy and the product works as expected.

I had Nvidia Shield 2017 but would like to get Dolby Atmos from Netflix and Disney+, and Nvidia Shield has this feature on 2019 model, so I upgraded and really happy with the purchase. The remote is a nice bonus as well. Highly recommended if you have Dolby Atmos capable soundbar or sound system.

It's true that this isn't a huge improvement over the 2017 version but it is definitely still a improvement. The hardware has a very nice upgrade which keeps the shield on top of the pack. The remote may be the biggest point of improvement, i really like what they have done with it and have actually been able to get rid of a couple harmony remotes so that's kinda nice as well.

Great product to watch movies, tv shows, and gaming. I highly recommend it.

This is a great streaming box. The best I have used. The 3 star rating is due to the terrible remote.

I have a new 85" tv. It looks great using integrated apps as well. However, I watch 80% sports and espn and the like often only broadcast in 720p. The tv upscales sports OK. But the shield takes it to a new level. If you watch anything that is not 4k you are watching lower quality tv than you could be if you were using this. Worth every penny.
