Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my favorite streaming box by far. I didn't purchase it for gaming but the fact that it can is amazing as well. Where it really shines is the number of streaming apps it has and its speed. It's fast and reliable and customizable. The controllers included have nice simple and intuitive controls which make it a great package!

I have this paired with an xbox one x and its the ultimate entertainment experience! Loaded with ps vue its fantasic!

I have had Rokus, and still have a Amazon Fire and must say this Nvidia Shield is faster more stable and easier to navigate than either of the 2 mentioned. Im no longer a gamer but my Grand kids enjoy playing the Free games you can download on this device as well. Get 1, you wont be disappointed !

I’ve been looking for a streaming box and this was essentially the best on the market based on the consensus of all the reviews I’ve seen and watched. Shell out the extra $$ because it is worth it, guys. One gripe that I have is that the remote isn’t rechargeable. At least the controller is...

Very easy to use. Great quality. very smooth running

thing is responsive and works great. LIke the android interface and now the ok google option just icing on the cake.

I previously had a basic streaming box which died within 6 months. I decided to pay the extra to get the Nvidia Shield and it is definitely worth it. It is the fastest one on the market. I also use a Roku stick but this is my preferred choice.

Awesome streaming box. Lightning fast and intuitive.

I've purchased this as a replacement for a Chromecast ultra in my bedroom. I've used a shield for over 2 years on my main tv. It is the best streaming device period. It replaced our cable box seamlessly when we dropped cable TV for YouTube TV. Top quality playback and the fastest response going through menus and launching media and apps. If you have a lot of media it's also a great and completely silent Plex server that can serve up that media anywhere on anything Using the GeForce now service it plays Steam games at ultra settings. I don't have a lot of time to game so being able to not spend a small fortune on a gaming rig or console and still play is a huge benefit for me. It's also a Google home And it's been updated consistently for 3 years. It's up to Android Oreo. That's better than many phones and tablets that came out last year. It's actual improved with age. Every year it's gained functionality through consistent updates. Nvidia has done a great job supporting this little wonder of a box.

At first I was a bit skeptical about getting this box but now that I have it, it's the best investment I've made!

This item is on the expensive side but does so many things. I bought it for its Media Center but it also has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, etc. I did not buy it for this but it also has the capability of playing games too. I have 2 of these now and they can be a little complicated on setup depending on what you want to add.

The shield is an incredibly powerful streaming device. With the Tegra chipset, I experience no lag at all while loading apps and launching videos, like I have experienced with many other streaming devices and smart TVs. Netflix in true 4K HDR is amazing! The gaming experience is also outstanding.

The quality is amazing. Very fast and easy to use.

I was a little skeptical about this media box just for the simple fact the price is a little steep. After i bought the shield my worries were over, it's easy to step up, the fact that u can add more memory is genius. My son loves playing games on it as well and he already has both systems the Xbox and PS4. Watching movies to watching YouTube videos is a breeze switching between either or. Only down side it the background can't be changed and this was me trying to find something bad about this device other then that i love it.

We mainly got this to integrate with Alexa, Plex and really, to make our lives a little easier. It does everything our Samsung Smart TV does but MUCH better. The interface is lightning quick, the voice search uses Google just like an android phone and it looks really sleek. If I had to make one complaint, and this is really nit-picky, the remote is too thin. It's constantly falling between couch cushions or what have you. The Plex app for it is great, so are the regular media apps like Netflix / YouTube. The game streaming thing is really nice, I do not have an Nvidia subscription but I have streamed games both through Steam to the Shield as well as through the Shield's own interface (and Nvidia Experience blehhh). This works great, there is a wee bit of delay on Wi-Fi, but not enough to mess with most games. Don't expect to play competitive Rocket League using this, you'll probably want to plug in the ethernet cable for that but it does work. Overall very happy with this purchase, would recommend and am excited to get more use out of the gaming side of the device as time goes on.

Pros -sleek design, gaming is descent, streams very well. Cons-Remote and controller not very responsive, Battery life is okay.

My previous box was having hardware limitations and was not able to upgrade the OS and the apps. As a result, the apps got slower, crashing and not opening at all (less than a year) With this one, the HW supports everything and do not face any speed/streaming problems anymore.

I love this “box” is fast. After about 8 months the remote stoped working. But it can be also use with the tv remote.

Perfect for netlfix, Hulu, and all the above. On top of that, you can also play PC games if you have GeForce now!

A super fast streaming device with google assistant and smartthings integration? What more could you ask for?!
