Bought to replace an old 4k Apple TV. Works amazingly, better than the Fire TV Cube that I have in another room. Much more capable, great remote, and smooth fast interface. The quick wake from sleep makes it even better, beating out Roku 4K that I had tried by leaps and bounds.

Bought this for the gaming potential and it delivers. You can stream games through the GeForce Now service as well as any compatible games in your steam collection at max settings. A cheaper alternative to having a gaming pc with it being reliant on your internet speeds as the crutch.

Best streaming box out there. And I have Roku, Fire Cube and Google TV, too. Nvidia Shield Pro leaves all of them in the dust. I have put this box through its paces, and it has passed every test. You get what you paid for. And you can also record your games, too.

I bought this product as my main streaming, chromecasting, game streaming and media device. The Dolby passthrough, usb ports for an SSD, and ethernet availability made it appealing.
If you have a 4k device like an apple tv, and you only use it for Netflix and music you are fine, keep that.
This shield lets you stream games from pc and play them on your tv wirelessly. It also auto upscales any 720p and 1080p content into 4k automatically, and recognizes HDR content if your TV supports it.
the controller and UI works fairly well and is easy to download new software and apps on the google store. I downloaded KODI, so I can play 4k movies from an external SSD; very easy.
This device can also output HIFI audio 24bit/192Khz, however does not support MQA from tidal. Regardless sounds great with a good home theater system.
Missing a star because the one feature that makes this product stand out; NVidia gamestream and steamlink, do not work to their fullest. I have both my PC and Shield hardwired to gigabit internet and the stream still lags. It would be hard to play a competitive game like call of duty or over watch using this system, but is great for single player games from your couch.
overall the only two reasons I can see for purchasing this over any other 4k streamer is the ability to download KODI; to play 4k movies from an SSD. And for gamestream/steamlink which currently doesnt work that great.

Do not be cheap and go after other devices. I tried almost all...The Shield runs the most consistent picture across all streaming Apps when you get your settings down. And don’t forget to set picture to AI upscale on Shield. Also Home screen is very clean, free of ads. What a machine!

Works fantastically. Nice upgrade from all the other streaming devices. Google TV interface, quality upscaling (if you have the equipment to view), not beholden to anyone's particular platform.
The unit is pricey though compared to other devices.

Best player on the market right now. I would give it a very slight edge over my apple tv 4k due to the AI upscaler. Blazing fast performance and it makes any 1080p content look 4k and even improves on 480p content. The only slight drawback is the lack of apple tv plus app support.

Quite expensive but very nice. Lacks a few things found on most Android tv boxes but very powerful unit. Would be nice if you could update the firmware from Android 9 to a more up to date version. I believe they may be working towards that. The best

Worth every penny. You will not find a better android tv experience. And the ability to remote play my gaming rig on my 4k lg tv... priceless. Honestly a no brainer. AI upscaling of my plex library is amazing.

Absolutely great product . So much better than previous version of shield tv. My biggest cliche with the previous version was the remote , that will sleep all the time. This one not only had a good sturdy remote but also the picture and sound quality - absolutely top class . Highly recommend !!!

GREAT product! Perfect for the Hey Google or Alexa user alike. LOVE the Plex Media Server compatability and integration, and the processor is absolutely amazingly fast and responsive. Don't let the size of the hardware in the picture deter you, it is actually quite small and concealable about the size of a small notebook.
