    I have Firesticks, Roku and Nvidia. Nvidia offers the best sound quality and picture. Games are a nice addition too. Definitely recommend to friends. Foes don't bother.

    The NVIDIA Shield cost more than similar systems, but the functionality and ease of programming coupled with excellent speed make it worth every penny. It is an an excellent streaming box.

    I use this box for streaming TV and movies on kodi and works perfectly. It has latest build of Android at 7.0 and with its processer can play games decently. I would recommend it to anyone.

    The best streaming box there is, and especially great for gamers. The controller is surprisingly excellent. Also, be sure to check out Retroarch on Google Play if you enjoy retrogaming.

    In fact, I bought it for streaming through Kodi and Plex. After lots of research and lots of debating I ended up getting the Shield. It's not cheap but in the end well worth it.

    Streaming device: Kodi native, sideload whatever else, fast and quick, easy interface, support gig ethernet and AC wireless, constant updates Gamestream: paired with a gtx 1060 can push anything in 1080 easy, or 40k and still keep 30-50fps pretty easy, input latency is acceptable in everything but competitive shooters I'd wager - and also use gamestream to just push your desktop and do anything from your couch Steam: Big picture mode streams flawlessly Geforce Now: no experience yet but I hear good things Downsides: Doesn't tie into your actual google library of purchased android games, so sthings like humble bundles for android won't show up
