Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly, I thought I'd be more wowed by this. I mainly use for streaming and it doesn't really do anything that much better than the other Android/Google streamers. The remote is nice with the motion activated back lights though.

works great! note that to use DV, you might need to upgrade your HDMI cable. I do wish there was a quick way to "clone" your settings/apps when upgrading from 1 shield to another. The remote is much better than the old one.

This was a huge upgrade from the firesticks. It runs my setup flawless and runs my TV programs effortlessly.

Definitely the best streaming device available, but: Way too expensive for what you get. Lots of features you would never use. Best customization since its stock Google TV, but still not enough customization. Faster then all the rest, but still not as fast as it should be for the price.

Nvideo shield is a fantastic streaming box. It is well worth the money. No problems to worry with. It is reliable and easy to use. Nvideo Shield has been well worth the money.

This is an upgrade from a Nexxus player. Easy to connect to the TV and add Apps. Takes a bit of time to set them up but once done TV works faster. Picture is clearer. Remote lights up and is easy to work. I have no issues!

The best of the best. A great high-end device. It comes with AI intelligence to upscale non 4k content. It has GForce graphics. It's easy to set up. All you need to do is to connect power source to outlet and quick east set up. It has a build in web to access apps. It is pricier but way better than a Firestick which does not have straight wired connections nor a web engine browser.

I love this thing, but I'm not sure it's worth the price outside of a couple specific use cases. I bought it primarily to serve as a Plex server. It wasn't super simple to set up with a shared external drive, and I did have to do a few uninstalls/reinstalls of PMC early on, but between Nvidia, Google and Plex the kinks seem to be fully worked out and I'm left with an always-on, low power Plex server that can comfortably serve up a couple streams at a time. Google TV as a platform is ... fine. The layout is cluttered by ads and the "assistant" tends to get in the way more often than not, but it's become the best option for the most access to apps/streaming services. If you're not running a Plex server and have no interest in games on this thing (which I haven't looked into at all, but presumably they're ... something?), you're probably better off with any number of cheaper options, your gaming console, or even just using whatever your TV came with.

I've used a Firestick for many years. I decided to try something different and go with the Nvidia shield pro. So far everything is great. The ability to expand the external memory with the USB inputs is a seller to me. I'm still learning a lot of the ins and outs of this device, but mainly the options are similar to the FireTV/stick max. There seems to be more that I need to learn more about, above and beyond the Firestick.

Not cheap, but it plays back the large movie files that the Shield tube stutters on. An essential add-on despite already having Android TV built into my Sony TV. The lost remote option has come in handy once or twice, also!

Easier to use than the last version. I've used ROKU for years and years, but I really like this version. PLUS ... you can get Peacock and HBO Max on this device and NOT on ROKU.

Although pricey it is well worth the money. The processor in this Shield Pro is super fast for streaming apps. This device has already practically paid for itself as I dumped cable TV and went to a streaming TV service.

Best streaming device on the planet, flawless. Would recommend

I've been using this device for a little bit and it still going strong. I must say it's a great Android TV, media server, and game and video streaming device. The current best out there!!

Still the best streaming device in 2024. I have been completely happy with this purchase.

Works great. Just what i needed to wtream 4K/Atmos content from my Plex server.

The device itself is very cool, works well, easy to setup, works in harmony with my Smart TV, and has a lot of value to me. However, I would not buy this from Best Buy, as they always, always have some kind of issue with their website, with their delivery, with their support, or whatever it is. Go elsewhere for your devices.

Great works just like its supposed to, would recommend to a friend.

It's awesome and has almost no lag even over my wifi. If you don't game as much I recommend a google tv as it has almost the same function, but at a lower price.

I have had one of these in my living room for a few years now. I needed something for my basement for a while. I did not have second thoughts about what that streaming box would be. This is it! It is not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
