Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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

I love this thing. It is quite stable now, very powerful and I run Plex server on it. Now if I could just get my dog to quit chewing up the remotes!

This is like a super Fire Stick. It works very well.

This is my second shield. I use it to stream video. The picture and sound quality is superior to other streaming devices. You can also download third party streaming software to access movies and television shows. I would recommend a VPN for privacy.

Great product new and improved from last years. Great improvements fantastic quality built quick reaction response easy features and a improved fantastic remote control accurate voice activation over all a good durable improved made product

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.

Easy to set up. Great device to move away from traditional cable.

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.

As a Plex user, this is the only device that can play TrueHD & DTS-X files. Any other device would either convert the signal and not work and/or not work at all. The recent updates have optimized the SHIELD to the best it can. Apple TV+ is coming soon for the other Apple Users like me that care about that. It's basically a mini computer. It's that power. The AI-Upscaling is cool too but personally I don't like the effect. All apps and other features work extremely well. HOWEVER the price tag is a problem for a casual (non-Plex) user and I cannot recommend it. Buy a Roku or the new Chromecast. A quarter of the price but the same values and functions.

I bought this months ago and I cannot believe how nice these are. I wish Nvidia would make a new one though

This works great with my new avr i was having promblems with my old android tv because it wouldnt decoded atmos movies but with this i get all the latest formats It sucks that theres no hdmi included though

Item was purchased several months ago. have not had complaint no issues with overloading. Runs perfect.

This is a beautiful streaming device. You can download any app for it and use everything on there. You can also hook it up to a hard drive, and you can use any of the old movies that you have saved in the past on your hard drives, and you can play it off there as well, which makes it extraordinary. I have used Apple TV devices for many years, and I have to say that the video quality on this is much more excellent and cleaner. 

I tried those inexpensive boxes on Amazon. One worked one did not. This device, there was no doubt. The price tag was a bit much, but you get what you pay for. If you need an Android TV box and you have the money, you will not be disappointed...

Awesome is all I can say . I switched from a google chrome cast and a fire tv stick and won’t go back . It being android tv is the best part . You can side load apps to it and play games and use a keyboard and mouse if you want . I use mine to run all my streaming services and run some android apps like my online gran board app for my dart board . I like the fact it has Ethernet so I can hard wire it in and it’s not closed off like fire stick

Could've really gave it a little more than a %25 power boost for the money. New remote is WORLDS better than the original. I run a Plex server on my 2 year old original 2nd gen Shield with hardly ever an issue. Newer faster tech will be great for Plex

Use this for streaming a GeForce NOW. Works the best to get 4k HDR 120hz

The absolute best streaming device, with plenty of power and flexibility to make it the best possible device in its class. Whether you want to play your personal collection of videos, stream on services, or play your PC games it has it all.
