    I have an Apple TV 4k but for steaming 4KHDR 10 content with an atmos of DTS audio track my Apple TV could not handle it. My Nvidia Shield handles everything I threw at it with no problem. Plus you get some free game to play with Geforce Now gaming platform. I mostly used to for local Plex streaming from my Media server and it is the best client as well as small plex server with the addition of harddrive as well. Android TV is very fluid.

    A good cross-platform set top box

    I think this is the best cross-platform device to stream content to (from Apple, Android and PC sources) and it does have some advantages over Roku and Apple TV. It has USB ports to enable increased storage or peripherals like TV tuners, and local content storage with the ability to be a backend server for the content to other devices (Plex). DVR capabilities are a good addition. The only issues I have seen are it can be difficult to find some apps in the Play Store (that though can be ) and it can have issues with some Bluetooth items (speakers that automatically sleep or disconnect have to be re-paired sometimes to reconnect). The pricing seems to bother some people, but still seem to have more options for the price compared to a 4K compatible Apple TV.

    I had got this for around Christmas time, and it stopped working 2-3 months into having it. I let it sit around and tried to turn it back on after it stopped working, it won't even power on. Not sure what happened, it just stopped working. I started using my other streaming device instead. I reached out to the company in process of asking for a warranty replacement, hopefully it works better. When I did have it working, it was android based, so a ton of option in terms of apps. I was able to use it to stream my games from my PC on to the shield it was super cool, and worked overall pretty well. Just make sure your computer can handle this. I'd recommend it, maybe I just got unlucky with the one I got.

    A Better Smart Entertainment Streaming Device

    I didn't want to buy a smart TV to replace my living room HDTV. I also wanted to be able to stream PC games from my bedroom PC to my living room TV without a long cable. The Shield was the perfect option for my needs. I had an RMA after 10 months of use because it wouldn't power on anymore. I've had the replacement for than a year now and my family uses it daily.
