NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro HDR 4K UHD Streaming Media Player (2019)

Super-fast, well built. Small, portable, and dependable. This set top box is perfect for cord cutters. HD and 4K streaming are also pretty awesome.

Great support, up to date software. There isn’t other device on Android to game like this.

Works great and received it very fast. Very good purchase.

This thing can do everything I could ever want for my TV and more! Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting the absolute best streaming/gaming/emulator/casting/photo-screensaver/device.

It runs android at its core, and anything you can do with an android, you can do with this. The speed is amazing, and all the possibilities are mind boggling.

Very good buy. It has Android OS (not some bad Wrapper over it) and it is super-fast.

It’s the best and most powerful streaming player you can get for money. The Nvidia comes with the updated CPU, the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip that’s 25 percent faster, 16GB of internal storage and 3GB RAM. You are getting a device that can stream in 4K HDR, with both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio decoding. The former can optimize the more vibrant colors of HDR video on a scene-by-scene basis, while the latter finally allows for object-based soundtracks in Netflix. Unfortunately, Nvidia skipped out on supporting HDR10 , the non-proprietary alternative to Dolby Vision that’s mainly available in some Amazon Prime videos, and it doesn’t support YouTube videos in HDRT. The speed increase isn’t really noticeable in everyday use, but it’s necessary to power a the new Shield’s AI upscaling. This feature solves a real problem with streaming video today: Even on a 4K TV, most content still streams in 1080p or 720p, so you’re seldom making the most of the fancy panel you paid for. While most televisions have their own basic upscaling algorithms that can fill in some details in non-4K content, Nvidia went a step further by training a deep learning model to predict the difference between upscaled and actual 4K content. This model then runs in real time on the Shield, where it tries to fill in the quality gaps based on what it’s learned. In practice, this means that edges become sharper, face details become less blurry, and strands of hair become more defined. Nvidia is proud to show off the tech as well, including a “demo mode” that lets you toggle the AI mode or view it side-by-side with traditional upscaling. Going back and forth, the difference is often obvious, especially if you’re somewhat close to the TV or viewing 720p content on YouTube. Video purists can make the upscaler less aggressive or disable it entirely, but I never found this to be necessary. The new Nvidia Pro comes with a new designed remote with volume control adding dedicated fast-forward and rewind keys.

I have tried everything from Roku to apple tv, and this one is the bell of the ball. it upscales beautify and is hands down the best one I have ever used.

I didn’t expect the device to be so small. Everything works perfectly. It is a pity that there is no stand included. Of the shortcomings, I noticed one: the OK button is too recessed and because of this there are false clicks on the protruding ring of the joystick.

I am very pleased with the fast checkout in the store and delivery.

This is my second NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro and I wouldn’t buy anything else. I not only use it as a streamer but as a video player for my large library of movies and TV shows hooked up via USB hard drive.

The perfect accessory for your TV! Everything is easy to set up and works great! I advise everyone!

The product is excellent and arrived very quickly

After going through Amazon firesticks and Apple TV thought I would give this a try. A true winner, no hiccups for the 7 or 8 streaming services I use and very easy to set up.in fact so good that my son and brother wanted ones for Xmas. Made gift giving easy this year. I have a master series Sony 85in and while the upscaling on my set is slightly better, the shield is no slouch and will be an improvement for most. The audio is excellent and passes through all the right codecs. The remote is friendly and easy to use even if in a triangular shape.

Tried them all, this is the BEST streaming device out there.

I upgraded from Nvidia 2019 Cylinder because it was not reading any micro sd memory card and internal storage was full. This Pro version I am using with a USB flash drive, and it is working amazingly. Super-fast.
