    The Shield is a fantastic streaming device. Not bound by the Amazon interface, and runs Plex client like a dream. I’ve run 4k HDR with no issues, and it passes Dolby without any issues. If you need an unobtrusive streaming device with snappy performance, look no further.

    The Nvidia Shield may be a bit pricey (this is subjective) but in my opinion, it is absolutely the best! If you can manage the cost....you will not be disappointed! This was my second purchase of the Shield. I enjoy mine so much that I bought this one for my father.

    Mixed this with an internet connection and it is is a great cord cutter! I use philo tv for live tv and it upscales it to 4k looks so good!!! You also want to goto the app store and download some free apps for free movies named, Pluto TV, TubiTV, XUMO. You can even pair this with a TV Tuner hooked to a digital antenna to get free local channels! I am so glad i bought this! Never tried gaming on it so cant comment on that. I am definitely blown away how it upscales 720p and makes it look like 4K tv. I highly suggest this doo dad! Fire stick, roku etc etc none come close to this!!!

    I have tried two other brands of streaming devices before finding what I really wanted as I didn't want to be out a lot of money. However, you get what you pay for. This device is great and is also a gaming unit that my grandkids will appreciate.

    Great all around, one gripe I have with it is that it forces you to sync your gmail if you have subsriptions to google owned services like youtube. There's no way to lock it so literally no privacy. Solution is to make a dummy gmail or use your phone chromecast for certain apps.

    I have 2 2019s and a 2017, these are by far the best media streaming devices. The biggest downside to these is no HDR10+ and the internal youtube app doesn't support HDR which may or may not matter to you. The new remote is awesome.

    Is there even another option?

    This is the only streaming box worthy of this sort of price tag. There's an option for just about everything. Great for a Plex media server and gaming setup. Connects to just about every controller I have and has gotten a lot of mileage streaming games from my PC to the couch. Being able to run emulators on it is a plus, too. My only complaint is the frame rate matching outside of Plex and Kodi, but luckily it runs on Android, so someone came up with a third-party solution. It might not be the best plug & play option. I would most likely only recommend it to tinkerers and power users looking for an all-in-one option, but those people probably already know this is what they're looking for. This is the alternative for running a ridiculously long HDMI cable from your computer to your TV.

    Shield TV is the best media player on the market in the US for streaming. It may cost a few bucks more then the others, but there is no doubt about which is best.

    I bought this in order to play emulation and have an all around tv hook in for Netflix and it does everything perfectly. The remote works great as well as Bluetooth controllers can be connected to it to play android emulation and games. Very happy with this product

    The Nvidia Shield is so customizable due to Android TV and its dual USB 3.0 ports. EVERYTHING connects to this thing. The ONLY reason to give four stars is while the remote is an upgrade over the old model, the box itself is not a major upgrade, even sharing the same model number. Last model included excellent game controller and old remote for same price.

    If you stream everything this is a must. Its fast with no lag. You can also add to the 16 gb with external storage. True its a 2019 model but its updated software ever so often cant be beat.
