    Not sure if the stick was enough. But definitely a nice hub to access online media, great upscaling. And it supports Dolby Atmos , which my tv didn't.

    I’ve owned the shield pro twice. I’ve also returned it twice. It just doesn’t hold a candle to the Apple TV. Yes you can decode more audio formats with the shield pro, but that’s about all you can do that you can’t on an Apple TV. The Apple TV beats it out in all important categories: ease of use, app availability, and remote (new version). While I owned it I experience lagging, UI glitches, freeze ups…all things I’ve never experienced on my Apple TV.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Fantastic with one major flaw. AI upscaling is great, everything is great, EXCEPT the Bluetooth audio, it's horrible, very weak connection and flat out doesn't work on certain devices with skipping and popping.

    Pretty big leap from a FS 4k. Love the versatility of the device, being able to connect external drives and keyboards, and the upscaling capabilities. Runs on android

    I dont understand why I waited so long. This thing made the whole streaming experience extremely good. Everything sounded so good. The TV shows that were not so good sounding on fire tv suddenly sounded so amazing in SHEILD tv. This is a must for those who stream a lot of tv shows and movies.

    Great product that allows for Dolby Atmos on Tidal music. This is the only product that does this. Also Atmos and 4K on most of your apps.

    Great product! Takes the load off of older 4K TVs as computer updates always slow the system because of the increase of code

    Picked this up as an upgrade to the 2017 Nvidia shield. It has worked pretty well. The only real question is whether the non-Plex apps are actually as good/better on this than the ones built-in to my tv.

    Two big differences you will notice right off the bat if you have ever owned any of the previous generation shields is the size and weight of the new one. The casing is considerably smaller, which most people will find as a plus. The other being it weighs significantly less that it feels cheaply made, compared the 2015 Shield. To each his own i guess. Pro: - HDR Vision - Upgraded and extra Audio Codecs. - Lighter - Smaller Con: - Ui much improved but very cumbersome on majority of apps - Too light - Feel cheaply made
