Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the SHIELD TV's streaming capabilities, performance speed, and ease of use. Many also praise the 4K picture quality and the device's ability to handle gaming. However, some users note that the remote control may take time to get used to, and the price point is a consideration for some customers. A few users mentioned occasional lag and the lack of Dolby Vision support as drawbacks.

    I have been using the fire tv for years and have been getting frustrated at how slow it has been getting. It seems to have gotten slow after some of the latest updates. I got a Shield on sale to test it out and now am replacing the Fire TV in every room. The Shield is a great product. It has been around for years and still can be considered top of the line for streaming TV.

    The best Android TV device

    I have this paired up with a SONY Bravia Android TV, but the Nvidia Shield's experience wins hands down. Unlike the OS on the TV, the animations are totally smooth and feedback is snappy. The performance of this little device is great, and I can stream all my favorite videos and YouTube without any problem.

    I was extremely hesitant to drop this kind of money on an Android box. But over time I’ve spent enough money on boxes to justify the buy. I should’ve done it much sooner! So far this device has functioned flawlessly. Go for it!! You will not regret it. However YOU MUST have ample internet speed (150mb) or faster for effective operations is what I suggest.

    I own an Apple TV, fire tv and Roku. And let me tell you, from performance perspective, shield tv will blow these guys out of water. The speed at which it can switch apps and skip forward/backward in apps like Netflix/vudu is amazing. Also u can sideload any android app into shield tv!

    I have used other streaming devices from the fire stick up to different android boxes, kept hearing rave reviews about the Shield and figured I would try it. All I can say is waiting does not pay, It is the benchmark that all other devices strive to emulate, no lagging no buffering 4K pictures can run many apps and different platforms, What’s not to love,

    Purchased this in hopes of working with all my apps. Since I am invested in the apple ecosystem, this didn’t suit my needs. Anybody else who uses android may find it to be a perfect item. Unfortunately I had to return it. It worked great for the most part and very powerful but I use the Apple TV for all my apps. Not a bad item. just wasn’t for me

    Best streamer on the market! It can do it all if your into it but too much for average users. I use it as a streamer for Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Plex, Kodi Gforce Now, Steam and more. I like it so much I bought my brother and father the same one. One downside is the controller is not as rugged as as a console's and if had to warranty it twice.

    Counting several smart TVs this is the better way to go. You can use it to stream all your movie streaming services plus download games of any type once you link your Android account to this streaming box. If you never heard of shield TV then you must have been living under a rock this is a must purchase

    This is one of those things you didnt know you needed until u have it....I've completely stopped watching my cable and watch off of this thing exclusively. I've tried other boxes and sticks before but I eventually go back to my cable but not with this. If your on the fence, bite the bullet and buy one and you'll be glad you did!

    I originally got it for the Nvidia streaming service, which essentially lets you play games that would otherwise need a >$1000 dollar computer to run well (with sufficiently fast internet), but it is also the best streaming player I currently own, having a Roku, Fire Stick and Chromecast. Very snappy control compared to all of those devices.

    If you are thinking about or have cut the cord, this is an excellent choice for a streaming device. Works great with our YouTube TV, we have no regrets. Comparable to our Sony smart TV which is also an Android TV. It can be pricey compared to some of the other Android TV boxes, but with the performance; it's worth it.
