    Best Android TV streaming box with passthrough HD

    This is the best android TV streaming box. This can passthrough lossless HD audio such as True-HD Atmos and DTS-X to an audio receiver that can decode these audio tracks. It also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Digital plus Atmos from Netflix to a Dolby Vision display. I opted for the Sheild Pro version as it can be used as a Plex server vs the non pro version. It also has 2 USB ports and 3 GB of Ram. The updated remote is easy to use and I like that I can change the commands and set it to a specific button. The user interface is very fast. Nvidia continues to support the 2015 and 2017 models and I expect the same for this version.

    I bought this to replace a Roku 3 that wore out. After trying Roku Ultra, and fire 4K, I spent the extra and couldn't be happier. To be able to stream tv AND play console quality games is awesome!

    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.

    We are loving this streaming device because it not only connects to all our streaming services flawlessly, but we can save videos on it to play later when there’s no internet.

    Good for video streaming but not gaming

    I had to buy this to sync lights using Philips Hue Sync Box because built-in Smart TV apps will not work with Philips Hue light sync. I chose this external streaming device because Consumer Reports and Best Buy had it topped ranked. I also chose it because I needed to get my children, who prefer to play Fortnite and such on the PC, off of my PC. Sites state that this device can mimic PC gaming. However, one of my sons who tried it using a wireless keyboard and mouse said it is more glitchy than playing Fortnite with Nintendo Switch. He also indicated that you must use a controller by NVIDIA to work because his PS 4 Dualshock controller wouldn't work. Bummer.

    While expensive this is the most capable and fastest Android TV box on the market. If you own a PC with a Nvidia GPU and want to play games on your TV, this is a now brainer.
