    It was easy to set up. The 4K picture is crystal clear. Took no time to get apps all set up. No issues with the upscaling. I would definitely recommend this product.

    Best streaming box I've had

    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.

    After using fire Tvs of various models for years I became tried of how slow they had become. The shield is fast and generally stable. I have had very few complaints.

    We have finally unplugged from tv service and used a popular streaming device to do so we loved it. Then a friend told me that the Nvidia Shield Pro so I decided to spend the $200.00 and I’m glad I did. It’s brighter faster and the picture is beautiful.

    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.

    Was the best streaming unit before last update

    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.

    The device is fine but it needs a few updates. It's better than most streaming devices. The power cord needs to be type C, it needs a better CPU since android devices overtime degrade more then others. The remote has this issue where you press on the navigation ring you think you are pressing left, right down, or up. But if you are not careful it presses both say right and down. It really needs to be seperate buttons not a circle. The remote does need to be a bit bigger and a rectangle I am not really a fan of that remote shape.

    Out of literally hundreds of options for similar devices, shield is the only one that i will buy over and over, because it has maximum performance and excellent customer service.... most other devices arent powerful enough or just cheap import items

    Best streaming player out there

    The AI upscaling is fantastic. GeForce Now is great. It has all the streaming apps you'd ever need and more. The only negative I'd have to say about is that it no longer includes the controller. I purchased this vs the tube one to try out the Plex Media Server with hardware decoding, but have not tested this yet.

    NVIDIA - SHIELD Android TV Pro is my best "friend"

    I love the NVIDIA - SHIELD Android TV Pro. I almost find each thing I want. It exceeds my expectations. It is a dynamic device; it updates itself with new applications (apps). I am very comfortable and joyful using it and I stay longer before my TV using it. I do not worry about not having cable, not at all. Great stuff.

    The best video and internet streamer PERIOD.

    This (2019 Nvidia Shield TV pro) is the best streamer there is other than using a computer with a high end video card. It's a great improvement over the previous models as well. The contrast ratio and sharpness is much better as well as the detail and motion of videos. The menu is a little snappier and the apps run better as well. I only purchased this as an extra in another room and immediately saw the difference so it became my main unit. The sound quality is better as well, especially in the detail and upper range. Didn't think there would be much of any difference but the newer model is clearly better in all aspects of audio/video performance. Worth the upgrade if you have a high end display device and want to squeeze out that last bit of audio/video quality and detail. Don't forget a high end hdmi cable or else it's simply not worth it.

    Glad a switched to this from the Fire TV. You can do so much more with it and it runs very smooth. No delay or apps crashing. Love that you can add a usb drive to expand the storage space. The 4k AI upscale seems to work really well too. Great product for those that like flexibility and do a lot of streaming.

    Works great with my Insignia TV. Replaced a raspberry pi with Kodi/Jellyfin and Roku on my setup. Connected some 8BitDo controllers and I have a nice gaming setup too. Don't waste money on the stand 3D printed if you can

    Jumping from a Fire stick Max I was a little afraid. A $150 bump is nothing to scoff at, but the fire stick was leaving the top left quardrent of my TV with lines. So I took the jump. Don't expect this to be super compatible with Google Home like a Chromecast would. Also don't expect it to be able to play with other Google speakers without stuttering. Other than that, thebjnterface and quality of the SHIELD is insane. Would hands down buy it again!!!
