Taken on its own, the Shield is an interesting device. It packs quite a bit of graphics power into a small, thin box, and both the console and controller are well-built. Android TV's interface is intuitive and fluid. Nvidia has tried to distinguish its c...
Abstract: Setting up the unit is pretty easy. You simply log in to your Gmail account with the included wireless Shield controller, which is essentially the same controller that Nvidia packaged with its Shield tablet last year. The Shield controller is very similar...
Compact yet powerful, Up to 1080p gaming using NVIDIA's GRID cloud gaming service, Ready to stream 4K videos, Wellbuilt peripherals, Costs far less than building a traditional HTPC of equal power
Cheap external storage options make the cost of the Pro version a little tough to justify
As stated in the introduction, the SHIELD Android TV aims to do all things for all people. Not only does it accomplish this, but it does so flawlessly. I'm sure there are “power users” out there who could punch holes in this assessment since their needs...

Beastly tech specs for gaming and 4K video, Feature-packed remote has volume controls built-in, Built-in Google Cast support for using phones or tablets as the remote, $300 Pro version has ample room for storing content
Software is occasionally buggy and hard to navigate, Sends a message that non-gamers aren't welcome, Considerably more expensive than other set-tops
I love the NVIDIA Shield TV and think that it's definitely worth the $250 when the user buys both the Shield TV and the remote. It's more expensive than other streaming set-top boxes from Roku, Apple and Amazon, but it packs more power and better gaming...
The Shield is trying to be your all-in-one entertainment solution, and while it feels like it could potentially get there one day, it just isn't going to happen soon. Again, as I said in the software section of the review, a lot of this lays at the feet o...
Supports HD & 4K (HEVC & VP9), Nvidia GRID is promising, 4K Netflix & YouTube, Media player + gaming in one
Freezes/crashes, Key apps missing, Not powerful enough, Game controller feels cheap
Nvidia Shield is one of the first game consoles based on Android TV; Google's operating system for TV. With its powerful hardware and a 500GB hard drive it supports games, apps, streaming, 4K video, and much more, but Google still dictates the general use...
Sleek design, Compact size, Smooth performance, Google Cast support, Ease of use, MicroSD expansion, 4K support, PC streaming
Limited Android game selection, Android TV still needs polishing
If you are on the lookout for a nice set-top box with an emphasis on gaming (and you are willing to deal with Android TV being a bit immature), the NVIDIA Shield is definitely a product you need to look at. This product won't come without its downsides, b...
In my opinion, SHIELD is the best set-top box you can get on the market today. It delivers everything the competitors have, and then some. Sure, that initial cost might seem high at first, but in the long run, you have a future proof box that delivers you...
