I cannot believe how awesome the Nvidia Shield Pro is. It's got lots of space for games and apps, it's faster than I imagined it could be, there has been no problems with Netflix or Amazon Prime - plus right now Peacock and HBO Max are easy to find and install (unlike on my old streamer) and I could not be happier!

I have been using fire sticks and tv for years, not knowing what I was missing. Shield is sooo much faster and flexible to use. Better processor and expandable internal memory make buffering a thing of the past. If you use a vpn you will notice more consistency. I will be converting all televisions to nvidia.

Fantastic device. Had a hard time picturing it was worth the price over other streamers, but upon loading the OS you realize how snappy this is and how slow everything else you use really is. Best addition to a home theater if you're looking to stream.

If you're considering between the Pro and the tube don't think twice. Get the Pro. The tube isn't worth the $50 savings to downgrade to a 32bit system with 2GB of ram. 1080p60fps upscaling is a game changer and only available on the Pro

Great streaming product! Does very well. Wouldn't recommend multiplayer games if you're extremely competitive as you can get some lag at times. But for first player, relaxing type games it works decent enough. The upscaling is great and the images are sharp. Can't go wrong with this unit!

Very happy with the Shield Pro. So far, we’ve just used it for streaming and not gaming. The AI upscaling works pretty well, although we do sometimes see a little stutter. Upgraded from an older Roku Ultra to get HBO Max and Dolby Vision. Biggest complaint is the lack of AT&T TV and Apple +.

This is the best 4k streaming box out there! The ai upscaling is the real deal and you get great hd audio. Didnt care to much about the gaming due to the fact i have gaming consoles but knowing you can play premium games on this box is the reason i payed the extra 50 dollars for the pro and i am glad i did.

I absolutely LOVE the shield. I didnt want to like an android streamer, most are garbage, but this makes everything look so crisp with the amazing upscaler. Plays great with plex, emby and kodi for all your home server streams. 1080p blu ray rips look 4k. I dont know how, but wow.

The shield pro is an excellent media player. The gaming emulation on this thing is top notch and nvidia streaming gaming service is almost close to perfect. The only issue i have is that Android does not have the Apple TV app and you cant chrome cast it so you might miss out on shows like me because i paid for apple tv plus and i cant use it on my TV.

Having tried xboxes to roku to amazon fire sticks, chromecast, airplay, appletv, etc. This one handles all formats, including Plex with 4k streams with ease. Gamestream is awesome for playing PC games on the big screen. Replaces 4 devices in my network, love the consolidation and how fast everything is.

This is the best overall streaming device currently. All other devices can do HDR, Dolby Vision etc. But this is the only streaming device that can do Dolby Atmos and DtsX soundtracks. All other streaming devices only can do dolby digital plus. Also this has more settings and options that can be tweaked/adjusted.
