    Not that I needed another streaming device, but i got to say I'm using this more than my Fire TV. I didn't have to wait until deals were hammered out before I could get Peacock & HBO Max. This thing is smooth, tiny and comes with a Toblerone shaped remote, with voice command and temporarily lights up the buttons.

    Got this to replace an awfully buggy Roku streaming stick that we replaced twice before discovering this. Fast switching between apps and navigation! I have an aging Vizio soundbar which paired up perfectly, eliminating the need for another remote. Powers up my older Samsung TV as well. Programmable buttons (app store download) is a nice bonus. Haven't played any games on it yet, but it synced up perfectly to an XBox One controller. Have moved between the Roku, Amazon FireTV Cube, and an Apple Mac Mini, and the Shield puts em all to shame. Definitely worth it!

    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.

    The Nvidia Shield Pro should have been exactly what I wanted for a streaming device. I was able to set it up after returning the first device that didn't work at all. I was able to get all my streaming apps, and the picture quality is very good. The main issues I have are; 1) I have to constantly restart the device because it locks up and/or apps just stop working for no reason and 2) the remote is the worst I have ever used. It is a triangle in shape and the Netflix button is a total pain! Every time you pick up the remote, your finger hits that button and changes from what you're watching to Netflix. The button is in a poor location and very sensitive.

    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

    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.

    This thing is the best Android TV experience hands down. I’m going to have to buy one for the bedroom now too. No lag or slowness issues, and the 4k up scaling is pretty neat. Also the fact that it connects to GeForce Now and plays games from your Pc library (like a steam link but better!) is pretty awesome.

    Best smart tv player I have ever used! I have used all version of the Amazon Fire stick, Google chromecast (although not the newest one of those), and Roku sticks on my 8 year old TV. This one by far has the best UI, controls, ease of use, and more. Really pricey, but worth having it as a my Plex server.

    By far the best streaming device. Android operating system on this is top notch. The remote feels good in the hand and lights up for night use. Not to mention GeForce now. Pricey but worth it. Went through 3 rokus and a fire stick before getting this. No issues with the nvidia shield tv pro

    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.

    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!

    Great quality streaming but enthusiast focused

    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!

    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.

    Love this device. It is responsive and stable. I previously had a different streaming device and often got buffering, but not with this one. It is easy to set up and update. I recommend it to everyone.
