Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for streaming, all apps load up fast. Good quality picture.

Good for streaming and playing some games. Would recommend for Cable cutting.

Can be glitchy, but it does work. Be forewarned, HULU and it may be a problem. i lost HULU for some time because of some settings on the darn thing, and no one except Reddit could tell me why. Once i changed the settings, it worked again, only to fail about once every month or two, requiring me to reset those settings again. it has always worked well with Prime, Netflix, Apple+, Max, and Disney. it worked with Paramount+ until recently, when it dropped me and wont let sign in to my combined Uverse/Showtime/Paramount account. Since Showtime and Paramount just merged, i will wait to see if it resolves or if it is a Nvidea issue. When in doubt, reboot this thing as it cures some issues. overall, good though.

amazing blows away roku audio video output is excellent

I was hesitant to purchase this product but now I regret not buying it sooner. The picture quality is AMAZING and my streaming is flawless. Better than Apple TV.

I used this to drive content on an early generation 4k Samsung TV. The android interface is intuitive and it has a quick processor to deliver gorgeous images. I watch all the usual streaming apps (Netflix, YouTube TV, Prime, Hulu, Disney+, etc.) and the Shield works like a champ.

The Nvidia Shield Pro is a wonderful streaming device that can handle anything I throw at it. While I certainly enjoy it, the 2017 Nvidia shield does the same things that I need it to. There’s no noticeable difference in speed or features when using them. If you need a new streaming device, this is a great choice. If you want to “upgrade” from the Shield 2017, don’t do it. Keep what you have.

The Nvidia shield android TV Pro is so good. This is my second one. It streams very well.

Device works awesome. Good channels and good processor speed.

I will not mention what I was using before but it was top of the line in it's category and still experienced buffering. I decided to try NVIDIA because of it's reviews and I have to say, no more buffering. They don't throttle there machines like the other one. The refresh rate is awesome and the speed is well twice what I was getting.

This is the best streaming device. The AI upscaling is awesome.

I have several of these Nvidia Shield streaming media players. From 2015 , 500gb to the new ones with 16gb. I love them. I put one on each tv to stream all my apps. I have not used them for games yet but will try in the future. I have so many apps. With so much content I have little time to try out games yet, but want to in the near future.

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.

Supwe fast speed, best android box, really easy to use

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.

Excellent and fast customer service, and great staff.Thank you for helping

I absolutely love my Nvidia Shield I used to stream games and as my main media device I also use it as a Plex server high quality definitely would recommend this purchase the controller is high quality many features and very customizable you won't be sorry you purchased this

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.......

You can actually store video files on this device and play them with an app. Dead-nuts simple remote. Add storage with an external device, use apps for streaming. So nice.

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.
