Very pleased with the Nvidia Shield. Reasonably intuitive and easy to use. Gives good expansion to TV programme access.
Excellent product, cannot be faulted. Streams with no issues and no buffering. Easy to set-up and simple menus to operate. I use it for Amazon Prime, Netflix and SkySportNow. Would definitely recommend someone pay the extra money for this!
This product is fantastic a great improvement on my old box. The fact that it has the android tv version means app work as they should with just the remote. I also find that it has a much better wifi connection
Easy setup, easy to use. 4k upscaling works well, even on 720p YouTube videos. Sound processing is better than my receiver. Remote now controls all devices. No lagging noted as yet, even streaming 4k
There’s no denying that Nvidia’s Shield devices are somewhat niche products – but it’s a niche that the company has proven once again that it’s king of. If you just want to watch shows on the usual streaming sites without worrying about codecs, standards or fancy AI upscaling, then you’re better off sticking with your TV’s built-in apps, or picking up a Chromecast or Fire TV device for far less cash. If, however, you have the TV and audio equipment to take advantage of the Shield TV’s Dolby Vision and Atmos support, plus a decent gaming PC and internet connection to throw into the mix, the £149 Shield TV suddenly becomes incredibly compelling.

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 Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV Stick. Even if you're looking for something to play games on , you're still better off with a PS4 or Xbox One - which both happen to have loads of media apps as well. Instead, the Shield is meant for those who live on the cutting edge, with a high-end gaming PC in their office and the latest TV in their lounge. It'll do loads of cool stuff, but you're only going to get the most out of it if you pair it with a beefy Nvidia graphics card, and a top-of-the-line TV. Don't have either of those just yet? The Shield is still a great standalone media player now, is as future-proof as they come thanks to 4K and HDR support, and will only get better once Google Assistant shows up later down the line.
