This is by far the best streaming box on the market. Not only does it support every app ever and stream 4k, it runs on android so you can side load any android app and plug a USB or bluetooth mouse up and have at it even if it isn't optimised for the shield. However, that is all just a nice bonus because the real star here is the retro console emulation power and compatibility. Along with the nvidia shield now service which is free and comes with tons of games you can stream. And it streams the PC version with every maxed out so things like tomb raider looks better than the ps4 and xbone versions. Not too mention you can even connect it to you steam account for christ sake. This thing is the best 4k streaming box, best mini/classic console (any bluetooth controller works even Wii remotes and you can get a Wii remote sensor bar made for the shield for 15 bucks here on amazon) and is among the best current gen consoles as far as it plays the games at higher resolutions and higher graphics on all the games that are included. There is the only con actually, it has a ton of very current games you can stream for free just for buying your shield (it runs on the same or similar chip set as the Nintendo switch and where as the switch is optimised for what they want and in turn almost underclocked the shield is overclocked and beastly) and they have plenty of the latest games for purchase and there are more every day. However most are stream only (even though the shield also let's you integrate external USB drives and emulate them as the internal memory so in theory should never have a lack of space to down load these games. But maybe the fact they are streaming the games from the nvidia servers and running them far beyond the shields specs maybe that would cause too many variables having to have low powered versions of the games in case you had them installed and lost connection? Who knows but maybe that is why they are stream only) but none the less stream only all the same. And there just simply isn't nearly as many games as say the ps4 or switch. That said the ability to link it to your steam account and stream games you already own on steam may just mitigate that as they add support for more and more steam titles as of right now not all of them are on supported by the shield yet. Keep in mind I didn't dig too deep in the steam stuff as I have a PC and a ps4 pro so I was all about the emulation and all have to say about that is this thing runs retroarch like a dream, and runs consoles all the way up to the gamecube and Wii. And some ps2 games. But PSP and earlier all run better than I've seen any emulation box run them. Absolutely one of my favorite purchases this year. I have a hacked SNES classic and a hacked ps classic and I love them both very much (much more after I unlocked the ability to add my own games) but the shield has relegated those consoles to very awesome look shelf decorations. And when I'm done playing my old games, I can always stream anything I wanna watch in 4k.

The NVIDIA Shield TV | 4K HDR Streaming Media Player as it turns out duplicates much of the streaming capability already have on my Sony Android TV but otherwise it was a nice unit if you want streaming and game playing. Read on for my evaluation. THE GOOD: -- PLAYS ALL .MKV FILES: I got the Shield device as I heard from forums that it will play .MKV files with ATMOS audio over its USB interface. My Sony Blueray player will often not play audio and especially ATMOS audio when embedded in .MKV format. It took some configuration of the Shield, primarily to set it to pass through audio data and when I did that and played the same files on the Shield, I got high speed ATMOS audio so it definitely worked for the reason I got it. Also I should mention this was over HDMI with the Shield connected to the AVR and the AVR ARC HDMI port connected to the TV. Every .mkv file that did not work over USB on the pathetic Sony X700 Blueray player worked great on the Shield. -- SOME DUPLICATION OF ANDROID on the TV: I have a Sony x900F android TV and the interface and streaming capability look identical to whats provided on the Nvdia device. So really what sets it apart is the gaming capability. This is something I had no interest in. -- FAST AND SMOOTH: The Shield interface was fast and smooth. Very nicely done. Again the GUI was identical to other Android devices but this one was faster and smoother then the Android on my Sony x900F 2018 TV. -- GREAT 4K VIDEO: The Shield was connected to the HDMI port of my Denon x4500h AVR and it connected to the TV via the HDMI ARC port. The video when seen as a movie in 4K was great. Same as the TV itself when streaming 4K direct over the TV app. THE BAD: -- It uses a Bluetooth remote. So your expense Harmony infrared only remote will not work with the Shield.

I have been a cord cutter since 2011, and have never looked back at the $100 plus a month cable bills I used to pay for mostly junk. Recently I needed to replace current Android TV box, and decided to take a look at Apple TV. Although it has a very smooth interface, it is over priced, and very limited. The main streaming application I use is Kodi, and in order to install Kodi on Apple TV, it needs to be jailbroken plus side loaded, and in order to do this you need a Mac. It also does not have a USB port, does not support external storage, and does not support most BT keyboard and mouse devices. After a lot of research, I decided to buy the Nvidia Shield TV. And man, that was the best decision. I won't get into the technical details, but here are the Pros: Super fast, smooth and very intuitive interface Streams 1080p and 4k video with no lag Optimized remote, works with most apps 2x USB 3.0 Ports Storage can be expanded with an external USB drive Supports multiple third party keyboard and mice Runs tons of apps from the Google Play Store, third party apps can be side loaded Supports the latest version of Kodi directly from the Play Store The newest version of Android TV (Android 8 Oreo) is now available Cons: It's a bit on the pricey side I have owned 2 different generation Roku's, a Windows PC converted into a streaming box, and a couple of Chinese made Android TV boxes, and this is by far the best streaming media box I have owned. The interface was especially built and optimized for the hardware, and everything just works seamlessly. If you just watch Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, you are better off buying a Roku or an Amazon Fire TV, but if you are a hard core streamer and primarily use Kodi, are a gamer, than this box is for you!

This is probably the best TV streamer on the market currently, and it's price reflects that. That being said, it is not for everyone. If all you have is a 1080p or 4K TV set, and maybe a set of basic speakers, do not spend your money on this unit. Get a Roku or Fire TV for far less money. As far as I am concerned, there is really only one real reason to spend $180 on this device. If you have a higher-end stereo system with a separate receiver, this device will pass through all of the high definition audio formats, such as DTS-HD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, various lossless audio formats for music, etc. As far as I can tell, this feature is unique to this device, not even Apple TV has support for HD audio and lossless audio. Supposedly this device is decent for Android gaming, and it has one of the most powerful mobile processors out there, so I am sure it's pretty good. That being said, I did not buy this for gaming so I can't comment. I doubt it would rise anywhere near the level of PS4/Xbox 1. So, I bought this device to replace my HTPC, as back when I built it, the only way to pass HD audio through to my receiver was with a computer. The Shield has an intuitive and easy to use interface, and apps such as Plex, Kodi, Netflix, Youtube TV, and many others are natively supported. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. The only cons I can think of is that it does not allow access to the full Google Play Store, there is no built-in web browser, and of course the cost. That being said, this device runs Android, which means you can sideload apps outside of the official Play Store. This opens up the possibility of installing web browsers and even emulators from other systems (NES, Sega, etc). In summary, there are really only 2 devices at this price level, the Nvidia Shield and Apple TV. In my opinion, unless you are tied to the Apple ecosystem, the Shield is far and above the better device. And if you have a high-end audio system and have audio encoded in lossless formats or one of the uncompressed HD audio formats, this is the only device. However, if high quality audio is not issue for you or you don't have an audio system, save your money and buy a much cheaper streaming device or streaming stick.

We've had the Nvidia Shield since November 2018 and love it! But I don't think it's for everyone. We use the Nvidia Shield as the primary streaming source connected to our projector in our living room. It can do so much - we play Overcooked 2 via Steam, watch Amazon Prime/Netflix/Youtube, have a few ROMs set up, connected to Alexa, and hooked up our old Xbox 360 controllers to work with the Shield. However, I do not recommend the Shield for most users. Setup is not easy for the non-video options. If you are looking for something to watch Prime/Netflix/Youtube/HBO/Hulu, save some money and pick up the Fire Stick/Fire Cube/Roku or some other equivalent. If you're not interested in the gaming options, I don't see a reason to buy this over the other devices. It's not that the Shield is bad as a streaming option - it's lightning fast response time and reliable streaming is fantastic - but I think you can get the same for less if that's all you're looking for. But if you are looking for something like Xbox/PS lite, which we were, then this is a great option. We don't play a lot of games but enjoy a few family games like Overcooked. We play a few old Nintendo ROMs and didn't want to invest into having a separate Nintendo NES Classic or Xbox/PS to play a few games here and there. We also wanted a device that wouldn't require us to buy a bunch of new equipment like controllers. We wanted to repurpose what we had, which was 4 Xbox 360 controllers. To get games like Overcooked to work, you'll need to make sure you have a Steam account, then set up a Nvidia gaming account, then connect all of it together. There are also Google Play and Nvidia Games built in that don't need Steam but most games we wanted to play are on Steam. You'll also need controllers. If you don't want to buy the Nvidia ones, you can use a plug in Xbox or Playstation controller or you can plug in a wireless USB dongle and connect your Xbox and Playstation controllers wirelessly. We bought a wireless Xbox 360 USB dongle off Amazon and connected it to the Shield. We paired the dongle and the controllers together and now it works great. You can Youtube lots of videos on how to install ROMs on the Shield. It's a fairly painless process. The Shield isn't a PS4/Xbox One replacement but maybe in a few years, it will be when gaming occurs more via streaming than via a hard drive in the living room. For now, the Shield is great for a casual gamer who wants more than just streaming from their devices. We have it wired into our internet and still experience a little lag at times, which we expect as part of the territory for game streaming at this point in time. Voice control on the Shield is good. By default, the search button on the controller uses Google. We also connected ours to Alexa so we can turn it on/off with Alexa. No issues using voice on Shield. All in all, we couldn't be happier, but not giving it 5 stars since I know this isn't a perfect solution for both gamers and TV watchers. Excited to see where the technology goes!

I have been a long time user of the Amazon Fire TV. I had 3 in my house and bought 3 for my parents as well. Recently my oldest unit stopped powering on, I decided to take a look at what other streaming boxes were out there. I got sick of the stagnant Amazon Fire TV interface and the lag on even some of my newer units. I first decided to give the Xiaomi MiBox S from Walmart a shot, because it was on RollBack for $49. I soon returned it, the interface was a big upgrade over the Amazon Fire TV, and being able to mirror my screen through Chromecast was awesome, but right out of the box, there was significant lag. I was aware of the NVidia Shield but never gave it much consideration because of how expensive it is compared to other Android TV streaming boxes. First off, the NVidia Shield is worth every single penny of the premium you pay for it. I have used Roku Boxes, an Apple TV, various Amazon Fire TV devices and none were as smooth as the NVidia Shield, I never thought an experience this smooth was possible. The new Android Pie update and the Shield's quad-core processor provides a buttery smooth interface and experience, the built-in chrome cast is amazing for screen mirroring or using your phone as a second screen. The primary apps I use are Sling, NBA league pass and some sideloaded streaming apps. These apps STRUGGLED to load on my old Amazon Fire TV and my temporary MiBox S, especially Sling would lag 10-15 seconds while changing channels on the old devices, I was absolutely amazed the first time I channel surfed on the Shield. With the storage being expandable through using a flash drive, it seems like a very good long-term investment. I regret not buying a Shield sooner, I will gradually be replacing all my Amazon Fire TV's with the Shield. Spend the extra money on this device.

I had tried out a Roku device several years ago but was unimpressed with the picture quality compared to a cable box. My cable company forced the issue the issue of cord cutting this year when they issued a new box that would not deliver a high definition signal to my old plasma screen. No way would I buy a new TV just to satisfy the cable company. Read some reviews about various streaming devices. Was sad to see that in the intervening years, the optical audio out jack on every device but a two year old Roku had vanished. Bought another box that harvests the audio from the HDMI signal from the NVIDIA and outputs it digitally to my old preamp. The NVIDIA has outstanding picture quality. I tried operating it wirelessly at first but there were too my lags for buffering. An Ethernet connection solved that problem. I mostly watch HBO Now and YouTube. The former looks as good as it did on the cable box. I really like the voice search feature - works flawlessly and much easier than the on demand screens on the old cable box. There's so much free content on YouTube and it's nice to watch it on TV rather than a small computer screen. I have the NVIDIA mounted in a cabinet with my stereo system. I found out the other night that the remote works even when the solid wood doors are closed! Not sure if it taps into the WiFi in the room to make that happen but I'm impressed. Highly recommend the NVIDIA for cord cutters. Sadly the cable company didn't lose out on much since they jack up the internet fee when it's not part of a multi-product bundle. But I enjoy much more content than I did with my old service.

First off, I suspect that I am using only 10% of this device's features. All I really wanted was a Kodi box and a web browser for the TV. Also, I would preface this with the admonition to connect a Bluetooth or USB keyboard and a USB mouse before you even turn the thing on. Reason: the keyboard and mouse will save you a *lot* of tedium when specifying setup parms. Finally, they don't tell you (although it's probably obvious to most) that you can plug this thing into an Ethernet cable rather than getting LAN connectivity via WiFi. WiFi is nice, but if you have a hard connection available that is the way to go. All that being said: Pros: + This thing is *fast*: excellent response times that sooth the heart of a closet Type-A. + The UI and remote control, once you catch on to how they work, are pretty slick in a minimalist sort of way. + Initial setup was plug-and-play all the way. Comparable to a Tivo in simplicity. + Network access is about as good as I would want. It connected to my NAS box exactly as I would have hoped. One of your first tasks should be to install the "X-Plore" file manager from the GooglePlay Store. + The Amazon Prime player app gives reasonable control over Forward/Backward jumps once you figure out how it works. Not as good as pre-programmed jump buttons, but good enough. I know this is the Amazon app and not the device, but it's worth mentioning. Cons: - Really, truly, SERIOUSLY in need of a Mute function. In the beginning, one might think that just dabbing the Volume Down button would suffice, but that not only gets old quickly, but also accellerates controller battery consumption. - Does not come with an HDMI cable. Almost two hundred bucks and they can't see their way clear to supply a cable that is essential for operation? What's next? No power supply? Are the bean counters running the show at NVIDIA? - Proprietary power supply. nVidia can't come with something that uses 12v, standard connector? - Lack of instructional material with the product. If you get one, Google things like NVIDIA Shield Remote to get the tips and tricks you need. - Doesn't seem to work very well with my Bluetooth mouse. USB mouse, no problem... dunno if it's the mouse or the NVIDIA device, but there it is... - Lack of a mainstream web browser. So far, Chrome and Firefox are not happening. I can side-load Chrome and a screen comes up, but it is unresponsive. Can't even get to first base with FireFox. This has been my biggest disappointment. The available web browsers from the Google Play Store range from bad to rudimentary. - I was hoping for a more general-purpose Android box like WeTek's, but the Shield seems quite limited in which apps it will run. Driver issues? Dunno - that's above my pay grade, but the deficiency is there. - The remote's volume control is iffey: maybe it's just me, but granularity of adjustment just is not there. With practice, it's working....sort of... Give me a Mute function, Chrome, and the ability to run most anything from the Play Store, and I'd rate it five stars.
