- Speedy and Pure Android TV. No Parental Controls- December 31, 2019
The nVidia Shield TV has great specs, including built-in gigabit Ethernet, speedy processor and expandable storage. Also, the pure Android TV experience is nice. I have to say, it was not worth the money over the Fire TV that I was coming from. It does not do some of the things that the Fire TV does, that I really missed, like maintaining the last few apps that you’ve opened and parental controls. In fact, I ended up returning the device due to the lack of parental controls, which the Fire TV does well. If you are a gamer, do not have tween or teen kids and love pure Android TV, which performance to boot, you will love the nVidia Shield TV.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend. - Best Android Box ever!- February 9, 2020
I had an old Android box (the Chinese ones all over Amazon etc.). I was always disappointed with its performance. It was slow at everything, even when new. I had read about the Shield TV being a much superior product and it is. It has the same storage as my old Chinese box, half the RAM and is many times faster at every task. Even its network performance is 4 to 6 times the speed of my old unit. Being a licensed product, I expect Nvidia will send out updates as well to the operating system etc. Yes, it was more expensive, but well worth it in my opinion. The Shield is so fast and stable that I really wish I had purchased it sooner.

Report - Great device with crippling bugs- October 18, 2020
My review is solely based on streaming. I did not use this nvidia shield tv for any gaming. The device its really good when it works. I've used this with a Vizio Quantum P X TV. The AI upscaling that this device puts out its really good. It makes 1080p content look sharper but without over doing it. It plays dolby vision and dolby atmos content beautifully. My gripe with it it that the software is very buggy. I have to be resetting it like 2 to 3 times I week because it either freezes or it will simply not turn on at all. I've had it for three months now it it has just become a hassle to have to troubleshoot it so often.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
