    Wayyyy better then the Google Chromecast tv dongle! This has more storage so you'll never run out of space and more ram so it won't slow down.

    It's the best media stranger on the market. The AI upscaling is amazing. Paired with an 4k tv it's a leaps and bounds better than the original 2015 Nvidia shield pro.

    I brought the nvidia shield for my mother for Christmas, and she is really impressed by it. I knew she would like it because I brought me one a couple of years ago.

    Sometimes it acts a little glitchy. I bought this to play games from my PC on my TV. That works great. but a lot of times I have to close out the apps to get them to re-work. Overall I would recommend this product though.

    The Shield is very fast and responsive with excellent picture and sound quality. My only complaints are a small remote and the lack of Youtube HDR compatibility. I would definitely recommend this product even at its higher than average price.

    It’s no secret this is the best box out. Buy it once instead of boxes that don’t update and get the best picture quality. Couldn’t believe the difference vs my previous box.

    Works fine

    Use it mainly for Youtubetv. It's hooked up to somewhat older equipment, a 2016 TV and an even older Yamaha receiver with no hdmi. Everything works. The remote even turns on and shuts off the receiver and TV. The remote buttons could require a bit more pressure to activate. The netflix button in particular is easy to hit accidentally. Some buttons can be disabled or changed with third party software, which makes it slightly better.

    This is much better than a firestick. The capacity and operability make it far superior to any regular firestick or 4K I've ever owned.

    Initially my experience was horrible until i updated it then it was ok. The UI was decent and I don't cloud game but thats probably the only good thing about the shield. The AI upscailing could be a lot better. The device is nearly a decade old and if they made a brand new unit im sure it'd be a 10/10. The current Apple Tv stream device is way better and its cheaper and im not even a apple guy.

    Great product minus the Wifi. It tends to go in and out when streaming movies. However, the remote fits perfectly in one's hand.
