    I'm not a gamer I purchase this for streaming Movies and TV Shows.I must say the 4k picture quality is great that without the upscaling turn on.Easy set up althought I dislike the keyboard that could be improved,as I stated before I'm not a gamer so I can't speak on that part off this device but I heard it was great also according to the reviews on (YT).As for Download and Streaming speeds we know that depends on your service provider and the tier of mbps you have with them although it seen Streaming does work faster with my NSTVP. The player looks great and the control remote feel good your hand.

    #1 Android Streaming Box, Better than a Fire stick

    U can't say enough about this product! I love it!! The capabilities of this thing is incredible and gives you the ability to work with the Android system in being able to do whatever you want with it. I mainly use it to stream for watching TV shows and movies, but you can do so much more, including using apps like YouTube, Cameras around the house, NAS -Storage, gaming, old system games, Android apps and more. You will need extra storage if you plan to use it for gaming and adding additional apps. Storage is adequate for most people, but once you start learning more, you'll want more storage. Highly recommend over the Fire stick or any other android streaming device. #1 Android streaming device!

    Two years into owning the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This device has truly revolutionized my entertainment experience. Firstly, its versatility is unmatched. I've transformed my TV into a powerhouse by installing various apps to access a plethora of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Peacock, and many others. The seamless integration and performance make streaming a breeze. But it's not just about streaming; the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro offers much more. The ability to record TV shows is a game-changer. It's fantastic to have this functionality integrated into one device. I no longer miss my favorite shows if I'm away or occupied. One standout feature for me is using my phone as a remote control. The convenience of having my phone serve as a remote, easily navigating through apps and content, is simply fantastic. It's an added level of comfort and control that enhances the overall experience. The performance is stellar. The device handles everything I throw at it with ease. From high-resolution streaming to gaming, it handles it all without a hiccup. The graphics and speed are top-notch, providing an immersive experience every time. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making navigation effortless. Setting it up was a breeze, and the ongoing updates have consistently improved its functionality over time. Despite having it for over two years, the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro feels just as relevant and powerful as the day I bought it. It's proven to be a reliable companion in my entertainment setup, offering endless options and convenience. In summary, if you're looking for a powerful streaming device with versatile functionality, excellent performance, and the added perk of using your phone as a remote control, the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro is a fantastic investment. It's truly the heart of my home entertainment setup!

    This thing is a must have! I hated my 800 75" Sony. Awful color and poor 4k res. Now, it's like a whole new high end tv. Well worth $200. The resolution, color and OMG the smallest details are now amazing! On 1080 Ai upscale you can split screen to see different and it's huge. You really have a difficult time telling 1080 from 4k. Don't think twice, get it! The menu options are amazing and simple. JP.

    Bought for Gamestream

    Not gonna lie, I bought this mainly for gamestream, then as streaming device second. Gamestream is a headache to setup but once you have 1) really good gaming rig, 2) fix whatever bugs there are, this is capable of gamestreaming 4k60 even with a very fast 5ghz wifi (I have Ac3150 beamforming router with AC1900 beamforming capable card on the rig). So far I've played Rocket League, a few Assassin's Creed games, and tried Battlefield V Campaign for the lol. Stutters only come if someone walks through the hallway between the router and the office where the Desktop is situated. Aside from that, the 4k60 stream is excellent and the wireless xbox360 gamepad input lag is bearable to singleplayer games. Don't bother trying on games that require no input lag at all. The AI Upscale is a pleasant surprise and Netflix standard streaming looks like a legit 4k stream. Compared to when I stream directly from my Smart TV. On the other hand, my 4k HDR streams from Disney Channel is working flawlessly with my HDR capable TV. On another note, my Dolby digital sound is going through the the shield, then to TV then to TV's HDMI ARC connected to a samsung Dolby 5.1 Soundbar + wireless soundwoofer & rear speakers. So I can attest that Dolby passthrough works. Not sure about Dolby atmos though. It is also good for running android games or if you subscribe, Nvidia's GeForce Now. Also, the price is pretty high up there so the only worth it specs from this device is the gamestream and the AI upscale. If you can't justify that cost, you should try looking at other cheaper streaming device then. Side note, turn on HDMI-CEC on the shield and your tv. This will allow you to turn on the Shield, the TV and the Sound bar all at the same time with just the Shield's remote. Also, turn on the HDMI-CEC volume control (alongside in the TV settings). I only need the Shield's remote through this setting to turn on, and even mute and adjust volume.

    I have been hooked on the Nvidia Shield for over two years. I enjoy retro gaming and streaming. This me Shield is good at both. I have an Apple TV 64 GB. Since I stated using the Shield. I have never used the Apple TV since. For $199 you will not find a better streamer/gaming setup.

    If you have fast internet a 4k tv and a decent sound bar you want this. The upscaling alone makes this worth it. I was using ps4 for streaming and everything else. I still love my ps4 but shield tv is much more versatile in terms of content and connectivity. I still haven't really scratch the surface. I do have a few cons though, mainly having to do with customization which is something android is known for so hopefully we will see more options down the road.

    Shield Pro AI upscaling is incredible.

    Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) It's 2024 and it is still the best streaming device in the market. Effectively a mainstay of most home theater setups. More than capable of running a customized Kodi build with the added benefit of AI upscaling. Only con that I can think of is the Netflix button on the remote. The AI upscaling in medium does a wonderful job of upscaling 1080p to 4k without creating harsh edges. At 150" it really is the only option for streaming 1080p content while maintaining a native really look. AppleTV 4k is a close second with a sleeker native interface and a more premium chassis build, but it just doesn't have the upscaling capability or the level of customization available to the shield pro. I would only consider the Apple at smaller screen sizes, like 85" and below. And even then it comes down to whether or not you want the level of application freedom the Android based shield pro provides.

    The NVidia Shield TV Pro has made cutting the cord so much easier and less stressful! Having been a long-time (over twenty year) subscriber to Dish Network cutting the cord was something that came up for consideration with each and every annual rate increase. We were often held back by the large amount of recorded content stored on the DVR's hard drive. Well thanks to the pandemic and the shutdown of most all productions we managed to burn through all recorded content and began turning more and more toward online content. It was at that point where we came to realize that we could drop Dish Network in favor of YouTube TV, keep local and 90 percent of our regularly viewed channels all while saving nearly fifty percent on our monthly bill! The NVidia Shield TV has been an absolute pleasure, with the ability to install nearly any available streaming application. YouTube TV HBO Max YouTube iHeart Radio Pandora Amazon Prime Video VUDU ...and so much more! There are games, music, & weather apps all at the press of a button, and setup was a breeze. The 4K UHD video combined with Crystal clear multichannel audio (including Dolby Atmos some on supported apps) is a massive improvement over and above Dish Network, and the small footprint of the NVidia Shield TV device takes up less space, uses less energy (due to it being 100% solid state i.e. no moving parts)! The NVidia Shield TV supports Google's Chromecast for sharing content directly from a mobile device, it has Google assistant built in for quick and easy voice control, and has the ability to connect with my home's Google Home speaker system for whole-house audio!

    I've been using Nvidia Shield TV's since they came out in 2015 and they are still my goto device for consuming media on any television. The latest TV I purchased one for actually included Google TV, the the speed, flexibility & quality of the Shield Pro puts all other interfaces to shame. Add the superior remote to the equation and I didn't even bother to try out the included interface on the Hisense TV,

    This is my 3rd shield tv device. Thjs is hands-down the best performing media streaming device 2nd to none. My last one died after 3 years of use, and served its purpose well. I like that it has 4k capability and a ethernet port for a hardwired connection, as well, as 2 usb connection on the back. Its small size and allows you to install this with double sided 3M take to the back of your wall mounted tv, or in any audio cabinet or closet. I like that these van be controlled with logitech harmony remote. This shield tv is a must have for cord cutters.

    I like manycut cableba few years ago. I mainly used firesticks but had issues with buffering and loosing internet connection. At the end of 2019 i purchased this device for my main tv and has been beyond pleased with its performance and quality. I thought of the long term investment and ditched the firestick for my 2nd tv and made this purchase in Dec 2020. Im glad i did and would highly recommend anyone that cut cable or simply looking for a streaming device to go with this quality device over a cheap product.

    I hardly write reviews, but for this thing I had to Nvidia Shield Pro is 100% the best Android tv box ever made I love it a lot. I’ve had Apple TV, I’ve had fire stick & so many different Android boxes this exceeds all of them. Speed is great, 4K movies, tv shows, live tv, the game graphics are basically as good as a PS4. Honestly the best.

    I am extremely impressed with the Ai Upscaling! So glad that I learned about this product online! It blows away the internal processor on my 75” Sony X900h. I wasn’t happy with the clarity of the tv itself but when I added the Nvidia Shield TV Pro it made lower quality video POP! Watching older shows look so vivid now.
