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.

Got rid of the fire stick because I got tired of it crashing and the paramount+ app not working good. Now paramount works fine and no crashes. Love the fact that you can play games on it. My old games on steam like Quake 2 & Half life 2 just sync to it and work awesome. I also like the 1000 ethernet port to get top speed. Have an older elite plasma tv that's not 4k so I don't know yet how the AI upscaling works.

This is a must have for all your tv needs! It plays 4K and does so much for such a small device. This compliments any Tv.

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!

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.

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.

Great little plex server

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.

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.

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.
