Customer Ratings & Reviews

I now own two of these. They are very responsive and work well. The AI upscaling to 4k is pretty good. Probably one of the best streamers available. That being said the design and hardware are a few years old and a price drop and hardware refresh are probably overdue.

Shield is fantastic!! I have it playing 4K content and it looks beautiful. All kinds of apps you can add to make it your own. Only thing I dont like is the main page, lots of ads.

I have had many streaming boxes and this is by far the best and it was a awesome deal from Best Buy they always have sales going on

Hands down best streaming device out there. Full Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision support. Plenty of ram to run all apps with out any issues.

Faster and better picture quality than the fire cube but expensive

The best streaming box there is. I do not have a 4K tv yet (yes yes) but the picture quality and sound from the Shield is awesome. Best upgrade from my Roku stick!

I love this thing, use it daily. Despite some thumbnail storage issues with Plex, it is a fantastic streaming device. Cloud gaming and 4K upscaling work great.

Awesome media player. Love it. Use it primarily to play mkv files from a 8tb hard drive plugged into usb on the shield. I like the remote much more than my Apple TV remote. The remote is backlit also.

One of the best items I have purchased. It's a steaming box with upscaling and audio is great. Perfect for upscaling video and audio in Atmos.

The SHIELD is an amazing multi-media device, good for gaming and great for media consumption overall. It allows for 4K HDR playback with lossless Dolby Atmos support, which is exactly what I was looking for! The NVIDIA GameStream functionality is also amazing, allowing me to stream games from my PC in 4K HDR (with upscaling and some other hiccups).

This is the streaming King of Kings. My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner. So far my experience with this device has been great and I don't feel like I'm scratching the surface. Since using this I haven't touch my fire cube, apple TV or Google Chromecast.

Excellent additional resource for the older TVs. Plus you can preload so much on it.

LOVE this. I have been in the market for a better product than what we have had for and this was the ticket. We replaced our Google Chromecast with Google TV with this device (still like the Chromecast but this was far better and love the remote).

It’s great. Would recommend it to anyone it’s awesome

This box does everything better than Apple better than Roku better than the firestick no jailbreaking required I have a 2017 model and a 2019 worth every penny I have a 6 terabyte hard drive hooked to the back of the movies downloaded legally and watch everything on the big screen

This device is fast and picture quality is good, but Geforce Now is one of the absolute most difficult apps I have EVER used in my entire life. Syncing up numerous passwords, inability to control open games, etc has been painful. It's a shame that Geforce Now is so awful and the integration with steam is abysmal. Also, I'm not able to install apps that I want, so i have to mirror from an android phone to use the apps. Unfortunately, I'll be returning this device as it's just way to unreliable.

Amazing picture quality, very quick and snappy interface. Absolutely recommend this product. It's the best streaming device I have in the house. The sound reproduction is amazing on our 7.2.2 system

I had been using an Roku Ultra before I bought this. The advantage of being able to stream Dolby Atmos with the shield is worth every penny and it now streams atmos on Netflix also. I believe the video quality has improved also but is hard to compare not being able to have them side by side.

From ai enhanced picture, to a built in pled media server. This device has it all along with the power to handle it

This is the best tv box you can get. It's fast, small, has a ton of storage and sorts all the apps i use.
