    This product is great for Streaming, in my opinion one of the best. But i use it also as a Retro Gaming device. Various Emulators allow you to play retro games as well as stream current gen from a PC if you have the correct hardware to do it. I Own 3 now, 2 are used primarily for streaming from video services as well as my own PLEX server.

    The best android TV box, is powerful, has a great and excellent video quality output, and sound too. The remote es simple and excellent, the illumination feature is for sure a good thing. You can use its USB ports for hdd, flash drives, hubs! After 6 months I can say is one of my best purchases!

    I love this little shield so much this is my second one. I put it in my sons room after a covid scare and wanted him to be able to at least watch some tv. I have nothing negative about the shield (I still have an older one which gets updates) and in my opinion is the best streaming device around with some light gaming.

    If you have had a Nvidea Shield prior to this upgrade, then it's basically more of the same with some bonus features and and awesome remote that won't get lost in the couch. For those who haven't had one previously, I recommend this not just for 4K, but definitely for the better remote.

    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.

    For my money, Best Android Set Top Box

    I have owned several Android TV Set top boxes. From cheap to expensive. The Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro is by far the best tv box I have purchased. Very responsive. Great connectivity. Great picture quality. Does not have all the features of other high end android tv boxes. This box just works.

    The absolute best purchase that I have made within the past 3 years! It was extremely timely, since it was right before the pandemic hit. The NVIDIA SHIELD does it all. I removed and stored my Firestick for good. The ethernet connection speeds are amazing and the ease of use is above all other similar products.

    This is the major improvement over the 2017 model. This does everything. The upscaling is fantastic makes many videos look like 4K. The apps are very quick to respond.Nothing wrong with a fire TV or Roku player but this that's so much more and well worth the extra money

    These machines are some of the best that yuou can buy, they have good power without breaking the bank. Can be used for gaming, and tv watching etc. I would recommend buying the extra gaming controller if you wish to game with it. These are the top boxes, the fire sticks, the other streamers lack this ones power. WORTH the extra money
