  • Dolby Atmos! Updated: Media Streamer Comparison Review+
Style: Player
As pictured, the Nvidia shield tv pro NOW supports Dolby Atmos music and Yes it is amazing, and well separated throughout my 7.2.4 setup and much more immersive than stereo music. From what I understand dac’s don’t currently support Dolby Atmos music and right now the only way to listen to Dolby Atmos music is to first have a good streaming device, like the nvidia shield tv pro, and second it has to be connected to your dolby atmos source via an HDMI cable. For example, I can ONLY listen to true Dolby Atmos music through the tidal app of my Nvidia, which is connected to my Dolby Atmos AVR, Denon AVR-x4500h. Dolby Atmos music is honestly brand new to me as I have been using tidal connect which doesn’t support Dolby Atmos at the time of this review. Dolby Atmos music is hands down better than stereo and reminds me of listening to great music that is played on a dolby atmos movie! The sample rate for dolby atmos is currently reading at 48khz but as we all know it’s difficult to tell the difference between 24 bit 192khz and 16bit 44khz because what really matters is how well the track was mastered, something we cannot quantify at this time. I would think Dolby atmos music would be identifiable in a blind listening session since the surround channels are so engaging! This is another example of why the nvidia shield pro is such a great streaming device!!! Update: After having this unit a few years I’ve finally gotten a chance to get an upgraded dac for my system and find the best source to play to my dac. After trying Bluetooth, airplay2, and using the hi res USB Audio function of this shield pro (hardwired to my dac) and found this is this machine that gives you an amazing music experience.. if you like to rock! The biggest improvement in sound is how the shield pro makes your subwoofers work for the money! My subs really come alive in hi res usb while played from the nvidia. I compared playing usb music between my iPhone and the shield which plays to a new hi-res, affordable, 1mii DS -601 dac and the biggest difference between playing hardwired from my iPhone and hardwired from the shield is how well the signal processes in my subwoofers. It’s fun and I highly recommend using this product for hi-res USB music (Tidal is awesome at sound quality and discovering/rediscovering your fav music) as well as a stout dolby atmos/vision machine! This does it all!!! Thank you nvidia🙂 This review compares the Full Nvidia Shield Pro against the newest Apple TV 4k 3rd generation and Roku Ultra on a cheap hiscence 65” TV with an Audiophile grade Dolby Atmos 7.2.4 Home Theater Component Setup. The picture quality of the Nvidia Shield Pro is near equivalent to the Apple TV, but is better at upstreaming and removing that annoying CGI Wavy dark background from your video playback. The Roku Ultra is very unremarkable when compared against the Nvidia Shield Pro and Apple TV and wont be mentioned further. Please keep in mind this is Nvidia, so the fact this product is the best shouldn’t be a surprise based on how well the stock has performed historically. The apple TV doesn’t detect the available video settings like the Nvidia does, which I love. What this means is that you get to find a Dolby Vision and HDR10 setting that eliminates the Wavy CGI dark background and replaces it with rich detail!! I ultimately picked this because I am an audiophile and love Dolby Atmos! This streaming device makes Dolby Atmos really pop! If you already have a great Dolby Atmos system this device is definitely worth considering as it will upgrade your audio experience as well as video experience! You do have to play around with the display settings though to find what works best for your TV, screenshots of possible settings (for my TV available). I found my favorite setting is Dolby Vision, default was Non-Dolby Vision set at 4k 59hz. For my TV Dolby Vision was only available at 4k 29hz but again, this lower refresh rate removed the wavy CGI dark background that interferes with your movie watching experience! I love this Streaming Device and have settings listed below: The default picture and sound is standard, you must first change the default video settings to 4k with Dolby vision and HDR as pictured to achieve the best picture possible (Pro). Also change the Audio settings to manual and select all Dolby and DTS Settings for optimal sound(Pro!). The default is regular 4k which will not appear that different from your budget smart TV. Once the settings are optimized on this device you will find this android device is much better than the Apple TV, which is hard to beat! This device is worth the price as it optimizes the picture and sound. I don’t use this for games, only to enhance the picture and make the surround sound really pop! This truly is A must for anyone who is an audio enthusiast and/or for someone who has bought a budget TV like a Hiscence, as I did. UPDATE: The screensavers are beautiful! Can you please put the locations on them instead of the photographers name, where applicable, it would be greatly appreciated!! ... show more

  • Top Tier Streaming Unit for People Who Demand Quality
Style: Player
I upgraded from the Firetv 4K Max due their inability to play high end Ultra HD/ HDR10 movies flawlessly. So it’s been a week now that I have been testing this unit and here are my thoughts: This is a top tier media streaming unit. The processor an memory are more than adequate for the applications I’m using it for. Works well with my preexisting Plex Server although it has plex server built in for those who do not have one. The system maneuvers flawlessly through apps and actually closes the app when you exit it vs the firetv sticks flawed issues with app overlapping when exiting to open another. The unit is not filled with non removable bloatware unlike the firetv stick. The ability to side load apps is commonplace. The sleek non-obtrusive design along with its robust OS platform makes it the perfect Home Theatre additive. I highly recommend this streaming unit to anyone and everyone who cares about quality regarding picture and sound in its truest form. Simply the best on the market today! Prove Me Wrong….. ... show more

  • The most recommended for a reason
Style: Player
The NVIDIA Shield is an absolute beast. There's a reason they are so highly recommended. This devuce handles everything I can throw at it and more. It streams with no hiccups at all. It may be an older model, but it is very much still the powerhouse it has always been.

  • Best available, even while old ..
Style: Player
12/22/2025 : compared to any other streamer out there, this is 5+ stars, even though it is getting dated. This includes Apple TV 4K, the new one, which yea, does produce *slightly* nicer visuals without 4K upscaling, but, constantly has handshake and YouTube issues.. if you want one box that will play almost everything you throw at it, feel super snappy, and JUST work, this is the one. Especially if you have your own plex or other video library, and have some movies that just weren’t encoded the best, this box will nail them. If this box can’t play something, nothing short of a full PC will play it (although, weirdly, sometimes an iPhone will play videos that even a MacBook struggles with..??). Anyway. I just cannot recommend any other streamer. I even had the new cylindrical non-pro version, and just got sick of the little glitches and little hiccups, so I bought this to try it out. Glitch free. No hiccups. If you have very large 4K files, they will look MUCH smoother when played on this box. Seriously, I just wish I had bought this when it first came out, but I had bought almost all shield tv models prior and didn’t want to spend even more. Well. I ended up buying this anyway. And even though it is in eol territory, it is STILL more muscular than NYTHiNG else out there. If all you do is watch Netflix and prime and stuff, then the other stuff might be fine. But, if you have a big screen and surround system, don’t cheap out on the streamer, just get this. So, why only 4stars? Because I’ve been waiting over a year for an updated model with even more grunt power, even better 4K upscaling, and complete video decoding including the new AV1 codec, but nvidia seems to have stopped working on this and just fallen in love with data center equipment. Anyway. Even though the interface is getting outdated, I would still recommend this, because things stream smooooothe and look greaaaat. Sadly for me, when nvidia releases a new streaming box, I’ll probably throw more money down and get that too. I have so many boxes lying around now, need to get rid of them. ... show more
