Shield Android TV Pro | 4K HDR Streaming Media Player High Performance, Dolby Vision, 3GB RAM, 2X USB, Works with Alexa, Model:945-12897-2500-101

5/5 Rating This is my go to Android Box. The first 4K streaming device. This thing is a beast, very well made, eawsy to use, great for streaming and watching content. I have zero hesitations on buying this. Super easy to hook up and start. Connects to your Google account with no problems. Great functionality. Pros Easy to use Great 4k quality Upscaling The best for streaming Sizeable memory to download apps from Play Store Cons None

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.

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!!

Clearly this is a well regarded device, and that is why I finally got one to replace a laggy, ad filled G1 Firestick 4k. The hardware is super capable; I am very familiar with customizing Android devices, but this was my first experience with the "Android TV" flavor of the OS. It is a good thing with a set top box, as you need a couch friendly interface. The bad is that despite this being a premium device, you STILL have LOADS of prominent ads that are streamed in just like you will see on a Firestick. They are always at the top of the interface and clutter the menu and make it look terrible. What I wanted from this device: -Absolutely no ads/outside content being displayed - clean interface. -4K support. -Couch-friendly Plex and Jellyfin client with responsive interface and stability. -Client device able to locally stream PC games/software without lag. -Allow the use of multiple simultaneous Bluetooth controllers for aforementioned living room gaming capability. Here are mods I made to make this thing exactly what I was hoping for: 1-Replace the stock launcher with Projectivity Launcher from the Google Play store. It gives you a fully customizable, fast, and AD FREE browsing experience. It is incomparably better than the stock Android TV frontend. Setup is easy and customization is intuitive. 2-Installed Artemis (download from the dev's GitHub) from a USB stick. This lets you stream from a host PC running the Apollo server software, and it works phenomenally on a wired Gigiabit LAN. This software can launch Steam Big Picture so it can also replace the need for the Steam Link app. 3-Connect up multiple 8bitdo Bluetooth controllers. The built-in BT on the shield is good, and can support 4 controllers (allegedly up to 6). With this in conjunction with item #2, you can game in any room like your PC is right there. You can also just use your PC desktop as normal, or any other software; Apollo/Artemis is super flexible. 4-Replace the stock Shield remote with a Sofabaton U1 model. These universal remotes are great, very affordable, and support both IR and Bluetooth devices. The shield remote is just a BT input device, so you can easily replace it and have one remote for everything in your setup. You do lose voice search, but I am fine with that. 5-Customize the Projectivity frontend to hide all menu items that are not daily use apps/settings; with the result being a simple, uncluttered interface that is right to the point. With those changes, this is a fantastic streaming box.

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

Pro device

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.
