    Always have had firesticks. I broke down when my fire sticks memory got full and became very slow. I had also purchased another android tv box before lasted 6 months now having issues with it. I will be purchasing another one for my bedroom. Very smooth and fast definitely worth the money.

    This is my third Shield TV and its the best one so far. I upgraded from my Shield TV (2015) (which still works) for Dolby Atmos support via Netflix. Nvidia has done a great job ensuring the system gets updated regularly and compatible with all the streaming platforms I use (Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc).

    The older version pro model had you h features in the device itself. I think they could have done a better job. New remote is good. This device was introduced few years back and by today's standards it is priced high. We purchased it since we do a lot of streaming and it works good for it. Overall recommended however look at other options

    This replaced my Roku Premiere and overall I'm very happy with it. It's pretty obvious that this thing is vastly more powerful (cpu) then most other competing products including my Roku. I play all sorts of games and emulators on it so it's more than watching tv. The interface can be a bit quirky, and I think that's being addressed with some new updates from Google, Google tv or something. As of the time of this writing it's not available.

    Great little streaming media box. This is the device I have been waiting for a long time. Too bad I didn't purchase it sooner. I like how easy it is to use and how it supports all the major file formats movies are encoded in. My only wish is that the there was a custom menu the user can set. For instance, if you want to activate the screen saver, you have to dig through various levels in the menu. Other than, that, I love this device.

    If you need something just for netflix or streaming, get a cheap roku. If you need a device that plays everything you throw at it, get a shield pro. I tried everything else-- apple TV, roku, fire stick, etc. Always had issues with certain file types or audio which led to buffering when using plex for my media library. Internal app on my TV wouldn't support DTS or would crash and lag with certain movies. There was always something. If you have a media collection, including 4K remuxes, HDR, atmos, dolby true hd, Atmos, dts x, etc., the shield will play all audio and video types perfectly on Plex without buffering. It just works. The other option in this price point is the apple tv. It doesn't support lossless / full atmos. Get a shield. It just works.

    This is one of the best streaming devices out there. It has good computing power and if you are comfortable with android systems, you can customize it. This model has a better remote than previous models. Nvidia has excellent customer service in case you have an issue.

    Best streaming device there is! It has lived up to it's hype I use it every day for streaming tv shows and or movies. I also game with it. I love the new remote control design. Still have the 2017 model and it works flawlessly years later. I expect to get the same life out of this model.

    May be the best streaming device available! Sleek, completely automated app setup, amazing video abd sound capabilities! Small enough to fit anywhere and a unique and intuitive remote control operating on Bluetooth. Very impressive package for all those who appreciate quality hardware and software - and silky integration.

    Does the job exceptionally well. Picture quality with upscaling is impressive. Form factor is small and easy to hide. Opening the battery compartment for the remote takes a bit to figure out. Press the notch in the back of the remote near the IR end and the rest is easy.

    We have tried fire stick, fire cube, and Nvidia shield tv. They were all a waste of money. This has much better picture and sound quality, and a lot less buffering!!! It may cost more but well worth it.

    This was the best streaming unit hands down. Best Plex support, clean interface, easy to use. Not anymore! They now have ads that depending on how you view the main screen take up 1/4 to 3/4 of the screen. They also won't be for stuff you care about, it's about what they want to heavily promote. It's also so poorly implemented that some have been getting Christmas ads in June. With other options that are cheap, you get the understanding that it's cheap because you are getting ads. This is a premium device and should not have ads. It was sold as an ad free device when I purchased it. You can install a custom launcher and that hides the ads, but that is fairly ridiculous to have to do that in the first place.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
