Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not gonna lie, I bought this mainly for gamestream, then as streaming device second. Gamestream is a headache to setup but once you have 1) really good gaming rig, 2) fix whatever bugs there are, this is capable of gamestreaming 4k60 even with a very fast 5ghz wifi (I have Ac3150 beamforming router with AC1900 beamforming capable card on the rig). So far I've played Rocket League, a few Assassin's Creed games, and tried Battlefield V Campaign for the lol. Stutters only come if someone walks through the hallway between the router and the office where the Desktop is situated. Aside from that, the 4k60 stream is excellent and the wireless xbox360 gamepad input lag is bearable to singleplayer games. Don't bother trying on games that require no input lag at all. The AI Upscale is a pleasant surprise and Netflix standard streaming looks like a legit 4k stream. Compared to when I stream directly from my Smart TV. On the other hand, my 4k HDR streams from Disney Channel is working flawlessly with my HDR capable TV. On another note, my Dolby digital sound is going through the the shield, then to TV then to TV's HDMI ARC connected to a samsung Dolby 5.1 Soundbar + wireless soundwoofer & rear speakers. So I can attest that Dolby passthrough works. Not sure about Dolby atmos though. It is also good for running android games or if you subscribe, Nvidia's GeForce Now. Also, the price is pretty high up there so the only worth it specs from this device is the gamestream and the AI upscale. If you can't justify that cost, you should try looking at other cheaper streaming device then. Side note, turn on HDMI-CEC on the shield and your tv. This will allow you to turn on the Shield, the TV and the Sound bar all at the same time with just the Shield's remote. Also, turn on the HDMI-CEC volume control (alongside in the TV settings). I only need the Shield's remote through this setting to turn on, and even mute and adjust volume.

The NVidia Shield TV Pro has made cutting the cord so much easier and less stressful! Having been a long-time (over twenty year) subscriber to Dish Network cutting the cord was something that came up for consideration with each and every annual rate increase. We were often held back by the large amount of recorded content stored on the DVR's hard drive. Well thanks to the pandemic and the shutdown of most all productions we managed to burn through all recorded content and began turning more and more toward online content. It was at that point where we came to realize that we could drop Dish Network in favor of YouTube TV, keep local and 90 percent of our regularly viewed channels all while saving nearly fifty percent on our monthly bill! The NVidia Shield TV has been an absolute pleasure, with the ability to install nearly any available streaming application. YouTube TV HBO Max YouTube iHeart Radio Pandora Amazon Prime Video VUDU ...and so much more! There are games, music, & weather apps all at the press of a button, and setup was a breeze. The 4K UHD video combined with Crystal clear multichannel audio (including Dolby Atmos some on supported apps) is a massive improvement over and above Dish Network, and the small footprint of the NVidia Shield TV device takes up less space, uses less energy (due to it being 100% solid state i.e. no moving parts)! The NVidia Shield TV supports Google's Chromecast for sharing content directly from a mobile device, it has Google assistant built in for quick and easy voice control, and has the ability to connect with my home's Google Home speaker system for whole-house audio!

I have been looking at the Nvidia Shield for a looooong time and finally decided to buy it as a birthday present for myself. I have several streaming devices in my house from Roku, Google, AirTV, and Xfinity. The main things that attracted me to the Shield are Dolby Atmos support in Netflix, built in Chromecast, and the AI upscaling. All of my favorite apps work - Pandora, Hoopla, Peacock, YouTube TV, and Disney +. I am still figuring out the various features but am not sold on the upscaling as it seems to over sharpen most of the source material. Time will tell if my opinion grows stronger but I like most of what I've seen from this device.

I love my Nvidia Shield TV Pro ~ In the past I've purchased the Fire Stick , Fire TV Cube and MIBOX but the best out of all of them was the Nvidia Shield TV Pro ~ Take my advice if you don't have the money right now save and be happy of the purchase instead of regretting the decision 2 or 3 months down the line of one of the other purchases

If you have fast internet a 4k tv and a decent sound bar you want this. The upscaling alone makes this worth it. I was using ps4 for streaming and everything else. I still love my ps4 but shield tv is much more versatile in terms of content and connectivity. I still haven't really scratch the surface. I do have a few cons though, mainly having to do with customization which is something android is known for so hopefully we will see more options down the road.

Best android tv iOS you can get for all your needs I recommend the nvidia shield tv pro for movies tv shows and games also you command your smart devices with google or Alexa

Excellent product, great improvement over its predecessor.

I have a 4k Projector and full theater set up. Have been using Apple TV and Amazon Box. I really like the clean interface with the Shield. It also is fast and very powerful. I have moved to it as my Primary streaming box. Bought it Black Friday for $149.00. I have been pleased very with the product and like the remote as well.

I'm not a gamer I purchase this for streaming Movies and TV Shows.I must say the 4k picture quality is great that without the upscaling turn on.Easy set up althought I dislike the keyboard that could be improved,as I stated before I'm not a gamer so I can't speak on that part off this device but I heard it was great also according to the reviews on (YT).As for Download and Streaming speeds we know that depends on your service provider and the tier of mbps you have with them although it seen Streaming does work faster with my NSTVP. The player looks great and the control remote feel good your hand.

One of the best android tv streaming media player on the market, hands down! As a matter of fact; it is more than just a streaming media player, it is also a game console, a game controller can be connected and to play games directly downloaded from the google playstore. It is truly awesome!

Second Nvidia shield I've bought. Had the old version but this is one is faster and better picture quality. Best Ott media box to buy.

Love it. Upscales youtube TV to 4k in real time. Watching bears and bulls with that upscaling is legit. Highly recommend

My mother really i like it.easy to use I highly recommend 100%

This is better than a fire stick or a fire stick Box

I love this song so much it works better than the fire stick and we threw that I have is like a computer and gaming console and streaming movie thing all in one everybody in my house can use it everybody loves it and it does everything we want it to

This is my 3rd shield tv device. Thjs is hands-down the best performing media streaming device 2nd to none. My last one died after 3 years of use, and served its purpose well. I like that it has 4k capability and a ethernet port for a hardwired connection, as well, as 2 usb connection on the back. Its small size and allows you to install this with double sided 3M take to the back of your wall mounted tv, or in any audio cabinet or closet. I like that these van be controlled with logitech harmony remote. This shield tv is a must have for cord cutters.

I am torn about this purchase. I have a Sony OLED with Android TV built in. The SOCs (processors) Sony chooses for these expensive TVs is a joke. They basically pick the lowest end processor and RAM combo that will run the current version of Android TV. This means as you get updates it just gets slower and slower. It also means you're at the mercy of Sony deciding whether your TV ever gets updated (I'm stuck on Oreo forever). So since no manufacturers have been kind enough to allow us to upgrade the built in SOC in our TVs, the next best option is a standalone streaming box. I used the Nexus TV for years...but that didn't age well since it was x86 based and several modern apps don't work for it such as Amazon prime video. Also, it's ancient. Google has let their TV OS get very stale, similar to their WearOS watches. They've never made a true first party TV box...and although "project Sabrina" (Chromecast Ultra 2 w/Android TV, basically) is probably right around the corner, it sounds like it's going to be fairly underpowered. So if you want a reliable device running Android TV that does 4k, HDR, gets updates quickly, has reasonably powerful (though dated) hardware....the Nvidia Shield is really the only option at this point. I enjoy the AI upscaling and the performance while emulating everything from Arcade classics to Nintendo 64 to PSP games. I've even gotten several GameCube games to work well...but not all unfortunately. I feel like anyone who is considering blowing $200 on this already knew everything I said...but hey, maybe this will help someone choose one way or the other. I'm still going to buy the new Google TV dongle that's coming out this year...if for no other reason than to compare the performance. But you have to remember that this is basically a Nintendo Switch...no other TV boxes at this point come close.

Upgraded from a 2015 Shield Tv. The AI 4K Upscaling is outstanding on my Samsung Q80 with, believe it or not, tv streaming services like Sling TV! Also, the remote is great and is able to control my A/V receiver and TV. Solid purchase even though it's priced on the high end.

Very similar to original shield from 2018, very few upgrades to be worth the price tag. Same body style, different remote control minus the game controller. Nvidia should have totally revamped and updated it. Great for streaming movies and tv shows and games online combined with fast internet speeds from your ISP.

I like manycut cableba few years ago. I mainly used firesticks but had issues with buffering and loosing internet connection. At the end of 2019 i purchased this device for my main tv and has been beyond pleased with its performance and quality. I thought of the long term investment and ditched the firestick for my 2nd tv and made this purchase in Dec 2020. Im glad i did and would highly recommend anyone that cut cable or simply looking for a streaming device to go with this quality device over a cheap product.
