The editors didn't like
Android TV's app support is very sparse
Additional (and expensive) equipment needed to take full advantage of features
Powerful components, Sleek design, Great game selection
More expensive than competitors, Android TV prioritizes Google Play
The Nvidia Shield is an awesome gaming system, but a mediocre set-top box. It's able to deliver stunning 4K content to your living room TV without breaking a sweat, but is ultimately limited by Android TV's lack of native apps and penchant for paid conten...

Abstract: The Nvidia Shield is a product that continues to evolve and redefine itself with each new iteration. Originally built as a portable console, later a tablet, and now as a 4K capable HDR streaming device, the Shield appears to finally have found a comfortab...

The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV is quite the device with a slew of additional gaming features that really sets it apart from its competitors. Sadly, it's bogged down by Google's too-new, too-cumbersome Android TV ecosystem. With no built-in web browser and a...
Abstract: NVIDIA’s SHIELD series has been expanding at a slow but steady pace since its inception nearly two years ago (yes, it really has been that long). Now the newest iteration is being launched alongside Google’s thoroughly updated Android TV. What was initial...
Deep search functionality is uneven, Gaming features depend on internet
As I said before, the Nvidia Shield TV feels leaps and bounds ahead of the local competition. But it's by no means a perfect product. For all its might and for all its charms, I still struggle with the notion of putting it at the center of my living room...

Abstract: The Nvidia Shield TV, a $200 Android-based streaming box with excessive processing power, appeals to a scattershot of audiences. It's the ideal streamer for PC gamers who also want to play those games in their living room, for media hoarders who want to b...
4K and HDR streaming apps aplenty, Loads of ways to get your game on, Google Assistant coming soon
Costly if you're just after a media streamer, No significant hardware update over the two year-old original, Plasticky triggers on the controller
The Shield always was a premium streamer in a world filled with cheaper boxes and sticks. If you're just after something to scratch that Netflix itch, and for some reason don't already have it built into your TV, save yourself a packet and buy a Chromecas...

Abstract: The Nvidia Shield Android TV is closer to being a full-fledged game console than a media streamer. For one thing, the Shield, like the Apple TV, can run games that have been optimised for the big screen. Nvidia even bundles a game controller with the Shi...
