Reviews around product (4.32 of 5)

  • I wouldn't recommend this product if you own a projector that only has one HDMI and no Optics port for sound
  • and I have to say nvidia took a great product and made it even better
  • I have been using this product for some time now , works great
  • It's not like the replacements are cheap (or even available, for that matter).I cannot recommend this product until they resolve the issues with the controller.
  • More accurately, nvidia has continuously been making a great product

Reviews around device (4.19 of 5)

  • I'm giving the device 3 stars because the one thing I bought it for didn't work for me

Reviews around kodi (4.03 of 5)

  • I started with the Matricom GBox Q, nice box but slow kodi shut down and system shut down
  • If you don't like Kodi at all there is plex with the shield even having a built in Plex server.
  • Coming from my 4K Roku which overheated all the time to the point of having to keep a fan on it is nice!!
  • I use it mainly for watching Netflix & Amazon Prime as well as Kodi
  • Kodi works pretty well, and you can use an NTFS external USB drive (which has been unusual for Android devices in the past).

Reviews around game (3.91 of 5)

  • You can play games from such great gaming companies like: TellTale Games.
  • Some games simply do not like the nvidia controller, and sadly the only alternative i found was using other controllers.
  • Android games are great, fast, clear, and the controller is comfortable
  • Android games are great, fast, clear, and the controller is comfortable

Reviews around controller (3.82 of 5)

  • * Game and Remote controllers included* Controls very intuitive* Game controller very
  • it does some of what i expect but my biggest complaint about it is that the "controllers" (both the stick AND the game controller) are really expensive
  • After one month of using I have noticed that my Nvidia Shield TV (2017) has started to overheat (up to 70 C), the interface started to stutter, video playback started to lag and the game controller started to press its keys by itself
  • You also get an improved Bluetooth controller and a free remote now too
  • Android games are great, fast, clear, and the controller is comfortable

  • Thank you Nvidia Shield for a excellent quality Android box
  • The Nvidia shield has the best of all worlds in my opinion, and simply works great

Reviews around interface (3.78 of 5)

  • The processing speed is phenomenally and the interface is excellent
  • Apps run smoothly and open quicker and the interface is nice
  • Don't get me wrong, the interface of the Shield TV is decent, but it just doesn't offer that much over the interfaces of smart TVs or even last generation game consoles
  • half of that is due to the fact that the remote is just terrible at responding to input and half is the crazy interface Nvidia dreamed up
  • After one month of using I have noticed that my Nvidia Shield TV (2017) has started to overheat (up to 70 C), the interface started to stutter, video playback started to lag and the game controller started to press its keys by itself

Reviews around thing (3.59 of 5)

  • Love this thing, from gaming to watching tv content, this is a amazing device
  • The only good thing was voice command but even that was an issue
  • If Netflix turns out to not work well as well, then this thing is a total bust for me, as those are the 3 apps I primarily use.
  • It's the best thing ever I use it every day as my Netflix/Hulu stream
  • The thing I like most about this platform is the freedom

Reviews around lag (2.32 of 5)

  • So if you're going to game with one controller, would recommend using Moonlight app on the shield tv, as it's much smoother than nvidia app
  • The only issue I'm having is, i'm getting some serious remote lag
  • It consistantly lags after pressing the buttons and will only work as it should if you are no more than three feet away from the Shield TV, and that is even "iffy".
  • Only gripe I can indicate is occasionally there is lag from the remote control, but there are firmware updates coming out all the time.
  • Just bought the 2017 edition of the shield TV.The remote control has crazy intermittent lag, where commands aren't responded to for over 15-50 seconds

Reviews around drive (1.30 of 5)

  • I purchased a 2tb external hard drive separately for under $100.
  • The shield is very fast, the only thing I need is an external hard drive for more memory.
  • Anyways political arguments aside, its worth the two hundred buckd and then just go buy an external hard drive for storage.
  • I have an external hard drive, and a Lexar thumb drive connected to it
  • However, make sure you attach a good USB drive for extra storage.

Reviews around decision (1.00 of 5)

  • : I feel that the omission of an IR sensor and MICRO SD slot on the base version of the SHIELD to be a poor decision
  • After one month of using I have noticed that my Nvidia Shield TV (2017) has started to overheat (up to 70 C), the interface started to stutter, video playback started to lag and the game controller started to press its keys by itself
  • So the device is now unusable and all of the instructions to try to recover it don't work on this version of the device because of the insane decision to remove its only button
  • Considering the internal specifications are going to be super powerful for years to come, I don't think you'll regret your decision to try it out!
  • The price of Shield is high to begin with but to eliminate IR control just seems like a poor decision

Reviews around bust (1.00 of 5)

  • A shame because other than native network storage mounting not working, a severe issue with exfat/ntfs, and adoptable storage being a bust, this thing is perfection

Reviews around hell (1.00 of 5)

  • Saw all the amazing reviews and decided, what the hell, it's expensive but worth it
  • How the hell can you return this crap for replacement when The post system refuse to accept anything with lithium battery in it
  • When watching a show via: Netflix, Plex, Kodi (didn't seem to matter) - there was a completely random notification that would blare over my surround sound and startle the hell out of me
