Nvidia Shield TV

Using the device doesn’t feel any different to me. It’s still got lag-free navigation, it can still handle 4K GameSteam, 4K movies, and anything else I throw at it with ease. It was the best smart TV box before, and it still is. I’m eager to get my hands on the pro one, but for £149.99, the new smart TV in a can form factor model is a pretty sweet deal.

At $149, it still hangs onto the best elements of the pricier Shield TV Pro — speed, flexibility, and that great new remote — and leaves power user features for the power user product. There’s definitely a feeling of sameness to the Pro model, and I doubt current Shield owners will be compelled to upgrade until Nvidia makes more meaningful hardware advancements. But for those new to Android TV, there’s no device better at showcasing it.

If you’re in the market for a high-quality media streaming device, you absolutely must look into the Nvidia Shield TV. Nvidia has taken what was already considered by many to be the best streaming device, and made it better all around. The more affordable Shield TV we’ve shown you here offers a great experience, with access to tons of apps and content, with output quality that is second to none. We really like the Nvidia Shield TV. It sets the bar in terms of feature support and image quality and we highly recommend it.

Everything you need to have a great streaming and gaming experience, in a handy tube you can hide pretty much anywhere.

The Nvidia Shield TV is among the very best premium Android streaming boxes thanks to support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, while still offering users the capability to stream 4K content from popular streaming services. Add in its incredible Stadia-rivalling cloud-streaming gaming potential, and this becomes a no-brainer box for gamers.

For the rest of us, the $149.99 Shield TV strikes a compelling and capable balance between the flexibility of Android TV and the convenience of getting home, sitting down on the couch, and just getting on with watching your shows. That’s a much-underrated feature these days, and for all the whiz-bang features Nvidia packs into its set-top box, the new Shield TV works best as a gateway to 4K from as many places, in as many ways, as possible.

While its price and features will likely only appeal to certain gaming enthusiasts, the Nvidia Shield TV is one of the most impressive media streamers you can buy.

The Nvidia Shield TV offers the most complete media streamer experience on the market right now, complete with 4K HDR10 support alongside Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, AI-powered upscaling tech and all the Google smarts that come with Android TV. It's expensive, but if you've got a high-end TV setup that can take advantage, this is the one to go for.
