NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro Streaming Media Player; 4K HDR movies, live sports, Dolby Vision-Atmos, AI-enhanced upscaling, GeForce NOW cloud gaming, Google Assistant Built-In, Works with Alexa

I bought this Nvidia Shield Pro because I use an IPTV app for watching Football, I am replacing a cheaper X88 pro14 which i thought was reasonable quality. The visual difference and performance has simply blown me away !! I can now watch a Match in crystal clear FHD without freezing or any loss in quality. Every programme I choose is in HD or even 4K, I didnt realise how good my TCL tv could be when married with the best equipment. This has simply transformed my whole package, it is amazing. A couple of negatives which surprised me, there are no leads supplied !! which for the cost I struggle to understand. Secondly, the power supply plug is non-UK and an adaptor was loosely added to my package, once again surprising. These two points can be forgiven as I have to recommend this Android Player as the very best you can buy. Most popular apps are pre loaded and the all important Downloader works perfectly. I appreciate its expensive but is it worth it ? Absolutely, 5 easy Stars for a fabulous improvement.

Its very good responcive . i like it very much

We all know this is old now, but it's still pretty quick. Android TV imo needs a new front end, if for nothing else but to get rid of the adverts. Luckily the Shield is more than happy to accept one. Instantly better. What is odd is that the Shield won't play android games from the store, admittedly this could be cheap SSD I added as extra internal storage, so I am going to test that with a better one when it turns up. Edit: yup, certainly was the cheap ssd hard drive, I got a Samsung SSD and it. Is. Glorious. Talking of which, extra expenses: 1. You will need an SSD to expand the memory, 16gb including space for the OS is frankly a joke. 2. A decent hdmi lead. 3. The possibility of needing a high speed hdmi splitter if your TV wasn't made yesterday. My TV has four 4k hdmi ports but only two super high speed, one of which is arc. That's fine, but the arc is taken up by my fancy soundbar and the other super high speed port is taken up by my Xbox. This means the shield can currently only go into a normal 4k port and that means no Dolby Vision or HDR10 etc. And really this box needs those settings as it's just a bit lack lustre without them. 4. You might also need to consider buying a powered USB 3(+) hub. There isn't a massive amount of power to spare in the Shield and obvs running the usb takes up some of it. So to avoid digital drudgery, extra power might help. CEC is tricky to set up as it appears to conflict slightly with the rather nice IR settings you can tweak. I'm not yet savvy enough with the system to figure all this out yet, but I have hopefully stopped it randomly shutting down the Shield and my TV which was just annoying. My intention is to run this as a retro gaming/TV box. It's not the easiest thing to set up, but after a few days of nerdling around I think it has potential... it's just slightly out of my grasp so far. Edit: mostly got everything sorted for emulation. It's fiddly and it's a fine line between shaders and a CTD! Oh and the remote is very cool, if a little bit sensitive. Edit: all other controllers now feel old fashioned!

It's either used or a non UK product as it only has a USA plug and Nvidia confirmed it should have a UK plug or adaptor in the box.

Brilliant device. Fast, powerful and highly recommended. Thanks to the seller for sorting out

It's great. You're able to look around using an app called Cody. You have to set that up. But it's well worth, it was expensive. But it's worth the worth, the price

What a great device wish I'd bought sooner.

Best item on the market

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!!

I bought the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro 2019 last year and I’ve been using it pretty much every day since. It’s become a big part of my home-theater setup and overall I’ve been very happy with it. I have it connected to my LG home-theater system, and it works really well for what I use it for. I mainly use the Shield for YouTube, streaming and watching my own media, but I also have quite a few other apps installed. I like that I’m not limited to just the usual streaming apps and can install other things when I need them. The speed is probably what I like most about the Shield. Everything is quick and smooth, whether I’m opening an app, going through menus or switching between different things. Even after more than a year, it still feels fast and responsive. I also have two external hard drives connected to it, which is a big plus for me. I have quite a bit of media stored on them, including files with DTS audio, and I mainly use VLC and MX Player. The Shield handles all of this very well and has made it really easy to have my media collection available through the home theater. The reliability has also been excellent. I’ve been using it for over a year and honestly haven’t had a single crash. With the amount I use it, I expected to run into more problems by now, but it has been very stable. I can’t really complain about that. The remote is probably the only thing that has annoyed me a little. Every once in a while it freezes and stops responding, but it happens very rarely. Usually I just remove the batteries, put them back in and it works again. If that doesn’t do it, a reboot takes care of it. It’s more of a minor annoyance than an actual problem. Also due to its shape, being long and thin ,sometimes it's hard to find in a dimmed room:) I was also disappointed that NVIDIA didn’t include a stand with the Pro. For the price of the device, I think a stand should have been included. Not a huge deal, but still something I think they could have added. One thing I really appreciate is that the Shield Pro gives me a lot more flexibility than a basic streaming stick. Between the external hard drives, different media players, streaming, YouTube and the other apps I use, it has become more than just a streaming device for me. After more than a year of using it, I’m still very happy with it. It’s fast, reliable and works well with my home-theater setup. The occasional remote issue and the fact that there’s no stand are really the only things I can complain about. 5 stars. I’ve had it for over a year and use it almost every day. Still going strong and I’d buy it again.

Good Product Worth every penny

En cuanto a su velocidad es simplemente el mejor, tengo roku streaming stick 4k y amazon fire stick 4k max, y el nvidia es más ágil para todo, y sin mencionar el escalado por IA, que de verdad mejora notablemente el contenido que no esté en resolución 4k, lo que no me gustó es que no soporta HDR10+, a pesar de ser compatible con Dolby Vision y HDR10, una lástima. El audio Hi Res, fue una de las razones por lo que lo compré y sí es bastante bueno (archivos de audio en alta calidad, aunque aparentemente solo grabados en sonido estéreo), pero no he encontrado la manera de que reproduzca bien archivos de música grabados en sonido cuadrafónico, en vez de eso los reproduce en estéreo. La caja venía perfectamente sellada, pero el control ya tenía las pilas colocadas, no sé si esto sea normal, por cierto el control se siente de gran calidad además de que sus botones son retroiluminados, un muy buen plus si gustas de mirar películas o oscuras, para tener ese feeling de cine en casa.
