I bought this November 2019. It's now March 2025 and this thing still is one of the best items I've ever used. Nvidia still updates to patch security, fix bugs, and update features. Content plays super smooth and you have so many apps available to stream or play pretty much anything you would want. I've had minimal issues over the time I had it. Occasionally the remote will disconnect and I need to re-pair it, but that takes like 2 mins. It's super easy to set up and works great with my Samsung Smart TV. The Pro version has a decent amount of storage and I linked a network drive with all my media.

The NVIDIA Shield TV is hands down the best streaming device I’ve owned. Performance is incredibly smooth thanks to the powerful processor—apps open instantly, menus are fast, and there’s no lag at all, even with heavy use. Streaming quality is excellent. It handles 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos without any issues. Whether I’m watching Netflix, YouTube, or Plex, everything looks sharp and runs flawlessly. It’s also great for game streaming and emulation. I really like the Android TV interface—it’s clean, easy to use, and constantly updated. NVIDIA does an amazing job with long-term software support, which is rare for TV boxes. The build quality is solid, the remote works great, and voice control is very responsive. It also integrates perfectly with Google Assistant and smart home devices. Yes, it’s more expensive than other TV boxes, but you truly get what you pay for. If you want speed, reliability, and top-tier performance, this is absolutely worth it.

There are cheaper/newer/faster/better 4k streaming boxes, I am sure. But this one works flawlessly with GeForce Now and Steam Streaming so I can have a one-remote experience to access 4k streaming and low-latency cloud-gaming from my couch. No Man's Sky on a 4k OLED? Yes, please! - But oh no! The wife came home and wants to watch a true-crime documentary in 4k on HBO? No problem. For certain use-cases, this is still the best streaming box. Super easy to set up with my surround sound system, also. Tight, intuitive, reliable, and pretty much perfect. The remote is fine. Not great.

The mass appeal for this product for me was the fact it had a built in Plex Server, certified streamer (except Xfinity, attempt to side load did not work), and best in class graphics and Dolby Atmos support. I sat on purchasing this for ages because a promised update in May (2025) was to fix the Plex Server issues of crashing and the Shield's power issues with the remote etc. I cannot tell you the amount of research, inquiring, and effort I put in to find me such a device that was simple and affordable. While I was warned via various platforms such as reddit, I hoped with the age of the posts coupled with the recent updates that enough time had passed for Nvidia to sort the bugs. However, even outside the box with these updates I experienced a very sensitive remote and power issues. In terms of the power issues, after hitting the power button to turn on my tv/device it would immediately turnoff (this was a bug fix explicitly outlined in the May update that apparently did not take). This then progressed to delayed page navigation to just the Plex app (separate from the buried server app) crashing or not loading to then other apps not loading or crashing to then the device working just fine but if left untouched would crash out and act as if it was shutoff. To awaken it again and to fix any of these issues I would have to power cycle the device. It got to the point that I had to power cycle at least once during any usage period, however brief. I checked as often as I could for updates even though I set it up as automatic. I factory reset at least 3 times and reset up my server just as many. Thankfully I used an external drive to house everything so didn't lose that, but was a PITA to have to redo my collections and detections each time and if anything as my library grew the strain only increased on the device. Nvidia was not helpful in the slightest and the replacement didn't last much longer either. Five months of troubleshooting and trying to optimize and nothing ever got better, the issues persisted and grew and in frequency. I travel frequently so I wanted to be able to feel comfortable leaving my server plugged in and unattended without fear of battery issues/overheating/glitching. I almost settled with purchasing an amazon power plug to remotely power cycle the device since truly that was the only solution that temporarily unstuck it, but then I realized for how much I paid for this and yet the amount of effort it is taking to simply keep it operating I should not be complacent just to have those few moments of graphics and audio appeal. Save yourself the headache, invest in NAS (thinking the latest ASUS NUC) and there'd be no issue with keeping it running all the time unattended, just as much of a small footprint and probably a bit more versatility in that the whole automation process is on one device rather than me having to transfer files.

Amazing and quick to ship internationally seller! Product itself is great. I was unlucky to end up with an LG tv with webOS operation system which limits a lot interaction with the tv, and this awesome nvidia gadget with android solves all my issues! Very fast in playing Dolbivision hdr videos

Good Product Worth every penny

Es lo máximo en Calidad de Audio y Vídeo. Tuve Google Chromecast, Fire TV stick 4k y las reseñas y comentarios sobre que este ES el mejor Reproductor de Streaming en Verstilidad, Funcionalidad y Calidad son Ciertas! Increíble el escalamiento por IA a 4K, lo complemente para un Proyector escalable a 4K junto con un Onkyo HT-S3910 y la combinación es Increíble, Audio y Vídeo impecables con las configuraciones adecuadas (necesitas ver turoriales para sacarles provecho y maximizar su rendimiento) ..por lo menos yo lo hice así y encontré mejoras Increíbles! Además... puedes jugar en línea con Nvidia GE Forcé y agregar un control inalámbrico para X-BOX en mi caso...! (No soy tan gamer, pero representa otra gran ventaja, si no quieres adquirir una consola) Haré una actualización en unos meses que pruebe juegos y más de su desempeño.
