The editors didn't like
Android TV's app support is very sparse
Additional (and expensive) equipment needed to take full advantage of features
Plex Media Server on the NVIDIA SHIELD/SHIELD Pro is truly an admirable piece of software. I've found it to perform well when playing back HD video content on my home network, and it does so more efficiently and more quietly than my makeshift ThinkPad T42...
Absolutely do not buy. It's a great device for sucker-punching your Wi-Fi performance in the face, running up your power bill, and generally failing as a gaming platform...
4K 60 Hz support via HDMI 2.0, fast SoC, silent fan, headphone jack on the ontroller, expandable via USB ad SD card, GeForce Now and game streaming, Solid video capabilities
comparatively expensive, no dedicated audio-out on the console (just via HDMI), Android TV restrictions (task manager only with keyboard, limited app selection, sideloading)
Is the Shield TV the best Android TV box available at this time? We didn't really find anything to dispute this claim. In addition to the superb performance of the Tegra-X1-SoC and the very decent video support, the streaming features are a definite value...
Bringing together Nvidia Shield Android TV and the Nvidia Grid for cloud computing really is what this device is all about. As a PC gamer I am not disappointed but was also not thrilled. Truth be told, I was rather happy to get back to my old trusty PC a...
Abstract: NVIDIA is known for graphics, but that's not all they've been doing. Over the last few years they've made significant inroads into gaming through the hardware side of things. The NVIDIA SHIELD is their latest push to making a gaming console that embodies...

Abstract: Nvidia's SHIELD TV, based on Android TV, is one of the latest devices to make your TV smarter and is a gaming cord cutter's dream I've been on the verge of complete cord cutting for a while, often waffling because of certain channels or shows Unfortunatel...

Abstract: NVIDIA's library of SHIELD gaming devices began with the SHIELD Portable, then expanded into the world of tablets with their (recently re-launched and re-branded) K1. Most recently, in May of 2015, NVIDIA made a move into the Android-based console space w...
Abstract: Followers of The Game Technician may recall that back in March Jason wrote an article on Forbes covering the announcement for the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV. While this is based on Jason's experience in technology and gaming it never did get a full-fledged...
The NVIDIA SHIELD is indeed a compelling new entry to the streaming media market that's loaded with worthwhile features like 4K and hi-res audio support, excellent voice search, downloadable/streaming games, an internal hard drive, and Google Cast. If all...

Excellent OTT device, even without gaming, Android TV and associated apps access, Excellent gaming features, 4K resolution output, Strong processing specs
Expensive in comparison to many peers, Larger than previous Shield devices
The Shield is one excellent piece of hardware for a full home gaming and entertainment experience. It's compact enough to fit almost anywhere and the specs this machine comes with leave most similar devices in the dust. Furthermore, it's selling at some...
