Still the streaming king ...IMHO

I bought this as my first shield product after 1 year of its release. I usually jump on tech trains early but never thought shield was for me. I still believe that if you are an average streamer looking for some basic streaming functionality , there are other affordable 4k options that should work just fine

A couple of things drove me to 2019 shield tv pro over everything else:

Firstly gigabit ethernet. If you are in a multistoried house where wifi signal is inconsistent this feature will be valuable in some specific scenarios. For eg a 4k HDR Dolby atmos content can have a bitrate much larger than 100mbps ethernet limitations that most competition offers

Enhanced AI upscaling : When I heard about it , I thought it was some marketing gimmick. But after trying it , I strongly believe it makes HD content much better. Dont expect miracles on lower definitions but for HD I think 4k upscaling presents a better picture atleast 60-70 times out of 100. With netflix increasing its UHD pricing to $18 per month , I am completely fine staying on standard plan and letting AI upscaling do the work

Lastly, Gamestream. This feature was something I did not research on prior to purchase, but appreciate a lot now. Over past 5-6 years , I expanded my game library on stream to about 400 games. Many of those games are totally compatible with a controller and are much better than bottom-of-barrel-junk games available on play store. Also AI upscaling works with gamestream which means you PC can be running the game at just 1080p but You can expect 4K (ish) picture on larger screen hooked to shield

There are some other miscellaneous features which I dont use much like ability to setup plex server and geforce now. I did try cyberpunk2077 on geforce now for around 6hrs and it worked well.

I am very happy with the purchase and will be sticking with the shield system for forseable future. The only feature I wish they add is hdmi 2.1 output for even higher throughput

Poor Streaming

The Shield degrades after first app is streamed. I can stream any app well after starting Shield, but when I leave that app and open another Shield is very slow to load and play the app. Sometimes it will never play the second or third app and the screensaver will finally start. It is connected Ethernet along with my ROKU TV. I have eliminated any problem with connection by swapping out ports and cables with my ROKU, which plays flawlessly everyday all day.

The Shield does do an excellent job playing video files, better than any box or TV that I have ever used.

Greatest Product in the Market

With this box you can get every station you ever dreamed of. Some station or shows you must hunt for. These are streamed by other people. You must buy a Smart TV and I recommend a Sound Bar to enhance the sound to make it really good. Our neighbors had one then we had to have one and they hooked it up...I could never have done it without they're help. It's an amazing box!!! Our neighbors help us when we get in a jam or the internet... needs a manual or instruction book !!!! Read full review...

Best set top box money can buy

Best set top box hands down. Support all majors streaming services, TV DVR, and Plex. Most of all, its gaming feature is unmatched by the competitors. If you would like to play games, it has GeForce Now (cloud gaming), game stream (local wireless streaming), and tons of emulators for old games.Read full review...

Best (Highest Quality) Android Box On The Market

You can get a cheaper TV box. But you can't get a better one. If all you care about is that it runs great, will last a long time and does everything that every other Android box does, spend the $200 and you will have no regrets. The upscaling feature alone is worth over $100. None of the other Android boxes do this. Read full review...

Best Android Box

Excellent android box! Fast speeds and works flawlessly. The fact that you are able to add external hard drive and have more storage space is a hugh plus. Gaming is another great feature this box comes with.
Would definitely recommend!

Great for remote and cloud gaming!

Nvidia Shield TV Pro is great for gaming, especially if you're doing Gamestream or Geforce NOW. This is my primary use case. It functions fairly well as a streamer, but I still prefer the Apple TV user interface and experience. Plex and Youtube work really well on the Shield.Read full review...

Great TV box at a good Price.

This is still hands down the best tv box on the market and purchasing it on eBay saved me a few bucks I used for accessories which this device can handle quite well. I love it.

By far the best of the best.

This small box is truly amazing. Anything you throw at it is smooth running, no lag just works beautifully. if you stream movies the 4k upconvert is amazing and makes the shield worth $400 by itself, but you can still play games like it's a PC and retail is only $199 why anyone would even consider any other box is just out of pure lack of knowledge. If you use Plex it works flawlessly with any video format. You can even make this little thing your server for PLEX! What!?! You can almost completely replace your PC with this. Nvidia has really have done itself with this. Honestly I put off buying this because I thought the price was too high I was very wrong I highly recommend this to anyone for all your streaming needs.Read full review...

NVIIDA Madness

I’ve had several Android box, but this is the one that topped them all! The ease of use and power it possesses is incredible. I told my brothers to get this box and they won’t need to buy another one for a while! Before this box my go to streamer is my apple tv. Now i don’t even use it because this media box does it all. Talk about installing apps from different platforms of android, this can handle pretty much everything! Im just very happy 😃 to have this box. My best advice “Get One”. Read full review...
