    if you have even a moderately high-end set up, this is a massive leap forward over any integrated crap that they put on TVs. I say this as someone with one of the better integrated AndroidTV sets, a Roku set, a Samsung garbage UI set and a Vizio set. The playback on this is simply fantastic and it is extremely responsive and powerful.

    The shield is very reliable and faster than any other streaming device I have used. A little pricey but worth it. I would not hesitate to purchase this item again.

    I use this mainly for streaming (I know, overkill), but it loads everything uber fast. I've tried NVIDIA's GameStream and it works pretty well with my desktop. The built in 4k chrome cast capability is also awesome. The remote works well and so does the voice control. I've also watched movies through a USB flash drive.You have access to plenty of Android apps too. Well worth it to me!

    This is my second shield. I bought the pro version when it came out, and when it came time to look for another, there was no other option besides another shield. Streams games, movies, now has google assistant, and best of all it's constantly being updated by Nvidia. If you're in the market for a streaming box get the shield, you won't regret it!

    Shield box was okay while it lasted but needless to say it went DOA on the 4th day it wouldn't power on in any of the outlets or any of the television sets we tried. Up until then during the four days we had it it works superbly it loaded the apps correctly fast the speed was great and the controllers were up to Snuff. It charged rapidly and had no problems the remote was great also I cannot give this 5 Stars due to the fact I had to return it to the store because it died on me within 4 days.
