5.0 out of 5 stars The best TV android box by far
I had all of them: all Bolo sticks, cubes etc, Google products, formuler and various random chinese android boxes. This is by far the best streamer with tons of possibilities to tweak it to your needs. Nothing really comes close tbh. The Bolo cubes are great but they suck due to the constant ads, restrictions with every new update. This is apparently 10y old hardware but still super fast.the Bolo, Google products just stutter after a while.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to fault - very happy with this.
For many, the idea of spending nearly two hundred pounds on a streaming box when you can get an excellent Fire 4k stick or Roku for much cheaper doesn't make sense. But this is one of those bits of kit that the cognoscenti (who I don't claim to be a part of) know is a great purchase. I've gone from the 4k Fire Stick, to the 4k Fire Cube to this and am happy I made the switch. The first thing against the Fire devices is how many remote controls I've gone through - they seem to fail at an alarming rate and when the latest stopped working, I thought I'd try the fabled Nvidia Shield Pro. So what makes it so good?First of all, it's a sleek looking box that has two USB 3.0 connections and immediately recognised my hard drive - it didn't need any formatting or software and just worked. Set up was very easy as was the downloading of apps - the one thing I would say is that the Android store isn't full and there are quite a few missing. That said, the box is easy to side-load with apps and these worked immediately (there's some very good tutorials explaining how to do this). I set up Plex immediately and, again relying on tutorials, cracked this excellent bit of software quickly. I was soon using the Shield as a network device for my media and was very happy with the speed and response. The Toblerone shaped remote is surprisingly ergonomic and feels good in the hand - Mrs Pugh immediately noticed how responsive it was.The biggest selling point for me, apart from the freedom regarding apps and settings, was the AI-picture enhancer. I could write a long article on this, but others go into it with much more knowledge so I will not go overboard. Needless to say, the 4k enhancer is superb and among the best bits of image processing I've ever seen. Other processing software items tend to over-emphasise pseudo-HDR, meaning that older films get this strange, bright, noisy picture that is trying to look modern. As I have an OLED, this look especially bad and as I am evangelical about deep black levels, having this fake, LED wannabe brightness has never impressed me. So when Nvidia claim that this can enhance 1080p to 4k, I was dubious. However, I was VERY impressed! I tried it on films where dark scenes have sudden bursts of light, 'Blade Runner', 'Aliens' and the like', and the result was superb. My wife's K-Dramas have never looked better with detail that look native; it really did wow me with how it enhanced so many different kinds of pictures. That, in itself, makes it worth investment. However, if you are a gamer, there is also the Nvidia App which apparently allows you to play higher end games on it - that gives some idea of the processing power it has. I thought long and hard about buying this, but I'm so glad I spent the cash - it's added a new dimension to the viewing of films and television and even the sound processing is a big step up.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, despite a few flaws.
Despite the limitations of Android TV, the shield delivers on a basic level on every front, but often excels, so long as you're willing to get a bit techy and geeky.If you're looking for a simple plug and play device, android TV app support may leave you wanting, but if you have the technical and troubleshooting chops to poke around a bit, you will find a really flexible device that will do loads of awesome stuff.I got the shield to serve two purposes. The first and main reason was as an upgrade to the older steam link to stream games from upstairs, and the second was to have one device that can pretty much do everything we need it to media-wise.As a gaming device the Shield will deliver 4k 60fps with 5.1 surround sound from my high-end gaming PC upstairs over an Ethernet cable no problem at all. I use both the Steam Link app and the third party Moonlight app to do this.Geforce now is also pretty nifty, but I only have the free version owing to the input lag of purely cloud gaming making it only really useful for demoing games you have interest in.On the TV side of things. I set up VLC with access to a shared media folder on my PC so that I can stream downloaded content over the local network - which again streams with no problems with surround sound working fine. I know there are more impressive solutions for this like the included plex, but I rarely watch TV or movies and so this simple method suited my needs just fine.My girlfriends main concern was getting the streaming services she uses on the Shield, and this mostly worked fine. All the apps we wanted were easy to grab with the exception of All 4 and SoundCloud which do not have Android TV versions. For most people this wouldn't be a big deal as the shield can be casted to, and so those apps you can just cast the content from your phone. But my girlfriend wanted a more comprehensive solution as she prefers browsing content on the TV instead of locating it on her phone and casting (fair enough).Android TV has its limitations in that not all the apps you would get on android phones will appear in the google play store as they aren't supported (IE, the developers dont care). Fortunately installing apps using .apk files is super easy, (look up side-loading) and you can try your luck downloading the .apk files of android phone apps and installing them to see if they work. I was able to get All 4 working this way (even if the menu is in the wrong aspect ratio, content is fine) and I managed to get soundcloud working using a web-browser app and just pointing it to the website.Web browsing is actually totally workable as the shield supports mouse and keyboard devices, and the ability to side-load apps means I can install SmartTube to replace YouTube (its a youtube app which blocks the ads).The tegra chip inside the Shield also makes it a formidable emulation device and I've tested a PS1 emulator with great success. The only downside here is the on-board storage is only 12gb usable, which is super limited for things like PS1 games.The only other downside is the ads on the main menu. I know there is a solution to switch out the app launcher and thus get rid of the ads, but I have yet to find a solution for this.In short:- It streams games great ✔- It's got all of the streaming services we use (with a little bit of techie magic) ✔- It can browse the web and handle web streaming services like soundcloud etc if you need it to ✔- It supports third party android applications like SmartTube via side-loading ✔- It emulates like a pro ✔- People can cast to it ✔- It streams content over the LAN with ease ✔- Extensive blutetooth support for mice, keyboards, and games controllers ✔- It's got an awesome remote shaped like a Toblerone ✔- The way it can control your TV means you can ditch your TV remote and go all-in with the Toblerone. ✔- Small internal storage is problematic for larger game ROM or app collections, and the only way to expand it is via USB memory stick (i would've liked a memory card slot) ❌- Ads on the main menu are frankly unacceptable for a device of this price, but this isn't worth knocking off a star and can be overcome, I just haven't figured out how yet. ❌

Worth it.
I've used streaming boxes for years and the run of the mill boxes I've bought recently are hopeless. Finally decided to go for a Shield and yes it is a blessing. It's as good as they say it is, very happy chappy
