Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love how quickly the response is on this device. It's easy to navigate with the Google TV software as well. The most amazing part is the upscaling of non HD videos to HD, as in some Netflix programs as well as in Youtube. Makes a big difference in watching your programs and videos.

Best streaming device out there. We use this over our lg webos. Easy to navigate and works fast.a little outdated but still runs well.

Excellent product, picture is great, allows you to watch almost anything that is on tv via the apps. Highly recommended

Nvidea -Shield TV Pro 16 GB, is the best quality, fastest streaming device I have used. Those incude FireTv, Firestick 4K and Roku fast response and no buffering, which is huge. I dont game any more but the grand kids find the choice of games on the system "awesome" which the top faves are Fortnite, and an older but fun Crash Bandiccot

Update 12-22-20: I now have quite a bit more experience with this device and am faulting the hi-res audio hardware a little less as the main problem seems to be a dearth of good music apps containing a good equalizer on the Android TV OS store that supports this Nvidia hardware. I highly prefer the Android Onkyo HF app (has to be sideloaded on this TV OS device) as it works like I do by supporting local folders and has an excellent equalizer- but it has way too many issues to be used on this Nvidia Android TV device (but works great on my regular “non TV OS” Android tablet.) I was able to sideload "Music Player 10 Bands Equalizer Audio Player_v1.1.8" which is fairly stable on this Nvidia hardware, has a reasonable equalizer that works and partially supports how I use my local FLAC music files differentiated in folders based on genre. I upgraded my rating to 4 stars due to this fairly functional app. But to me it is a glaring issue with the lack of significant hi-res music apps on a device that has been around since 2015. So for local music files listening, I will have to use my Samsung S6 tablet with a hi-res USB DAC dongle (and Onkyo HF app) or my Onkyo hi-res music player connected to the AVR which defeats the purpose of purchasing this Nvidia device with a hi-res music player built-in.

Two reasons this doesn't get 5 stars from me. 1) Using the remote to control everything (Shield, television and Denon receiver) works most of the time, but not always. Sometimes we have to use the TV remote to power on the TV. 2) The dashboard sometimes has "blank" icons in place of the applications. I can hover oven them and select them, but the icon itself is just a gray box. We love that the Shield passes Dolby Atmos through the receiver and Dolby Vision to the TV.

This is hands down the best device for my purposes as my main way of watching TV. YouTube, YouTube TV, Netflix and Plex (I have a separate device for Plex Server) are pretty much only thing I do. I had the 2015 Pro model and wasn't a fan of the remote volume slider doohickey. Since I finally made the move to a 4K TV it was also time to bump up my android tv box. Pros: • Easy to set up, powerful and smaller than the 2015 model. • Replaceable batteries instead of having to get the "low battery" alert. • Quality build... not some dinky piece of plastic if you don't need a micro sized solution. • 4K upscale is incredible. Cons: • They didn't completely solve the remote issue for me, that Netflix button is way sensitive. I'll find myself hitting the button when picking up the remote and it launches. Exiting Netflix is annoying... choose profile, go to menu, scroll to bottom, tab to the right. Grrr. • Price - its still a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. • 16GB internal HD. Absolutely need more space for app install, caches, etc. But it is very finicky about what you use, I opted for a 2.5" USB 3.1 enclosure with a 250GB SSD I had lying around. No warning about "drive too slow" and plenty of space. All in all a good purchase. It would been nice catch it on sale but I'm impatient and you won't save a much anyhow.

The Nvidia Shield TV is a great streamer! It supports HDR10, Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, DTS:X, and many other formats. Android TV has so many app options, you won't be asking for more! It has really cool game streaming. The remote is really nice, it is backlight which is rare among streaming boxes. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it!

The best for video and audio by far! easy hook-up!

Everybody always says... There isn't anything better for streaming. It does work very well for that. I don't know if it is anything different than a Firestick, but it is better. It is like a the difference between a basic car and a luxury car. They both get you where you are going, but it's the ride to the destination.

I have enjoyed this android box for several weeks now. Netflix and Prime Video programming have never looked better. The AI feature plus Dolby Vision is first class. The Surround Sound choices, with Dolby Atmos being the most advance, is second to none. The Processor speed of the android box, dual usb ports and Plex Server capability are also a plus.

I was a huge fan of the Gen2 FireTV boxes until a co-worker told me about the Shield. Man was he right! This thing blows the FireTV out of the water. Fast, sleek, the UI layout is perfect - highly recommended. Oh and the remote... ::drools:: Just buy it and thank me later...price should be $150 but it's still worth it at $199

It's not cheap but probably the fastest android TV streaming device. Best part is that it upscales content to the highest resolution of your TV. Even on 1080p displays, content will be upscaled with AI. Not only that, it will upscale content to 4k even on 1080p displays too. You'll get the most out of this though if you have a 4k TV.

The picture quality is better than with the Five TV Cube and it has wired networking for faster, more reliable speeds. I also like the fact they provide more regular updates and enhancements to improve performance/functionality. It is a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Best streaming device and good gaming capabilities...i really felt its superior to roku

Great streaming device but has a few quirks that are not shared by other devices like Apple TV. Audio and visual quality is great but tends to take a few moments for audio to appear after pressing play or skipping. Most of the issues I've had have been patched out by updates but they do stand out. This feels more enthusiast focused since unlike the apple TV there are a plethora of settings that you can use to fine tune the experience. Not too hard to figure out but its not as user friendly. Happy with my purchase and has made my home theater better!
