    NVIDIA SHIELD TV Gaming Edition | 4K HDR Streaming Media Player with GeForce NOW

    • 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.
    • This thing is awesome!
    • I can't say enough good things about the Shield
    • Another awesome thing is it has all the streaming options, including Amazon video (which the Apple TV doesn't have)
    • In theory, this thing works like a "Google Home" or Amazon Echo device, too
    • Shield fulfills no purpose neither gaming or media streaming properly so even if available at half price this thing is waste of money, so buying a proper gaming console is much better option
    • When it arrived, things seemed mostly good
    • This thing is solid.
    • Side loading is pretty easy but the weird thing is that some apps don't show up on the main apps or games menu so you either have to go to the settings - apps section or install the
    • So far the only thing positive is I'm able to stream my PC games to my bedroom tv

    • It's the best thing ever I use it every day as my Netflix/Hulu stream
    • until the shield does it's weird thing with external storage.
    • holy crap this thing is powerful and very impressive
    • The only bad thing is that games like Need for Speed No Limits, FIFA and others are not supported.
    • As it's a TV/media streaming box, the most important thing is fast,smooth, high resolution video
    • Didn't try the gaming yet, as I am still going through the installation process for 2nd time now, in 3 hours, due to the crappy thing not working as described on Nvidia's own website.
    • Another thing, the remote is very simple in design and does not work well
    • This thing was great for a few months and now it just plain sucks

    • Best thing I've ever bought, runs flawlessly
    • The Shield TV is always up to date, and is the most reliable thing out for streaming anything and running your Kodi

    • Best thing since slice bread
    • This thing is worth the money.
    • I love this thing very easy to use
    • Don't forget one important thing
    • 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
    • but first i want to let anyone considering buying this console to know that it is worth it if you are a big YouTube /netflix/Amazon prime/etc watcher, like the idea of downloading decent quality games for cheap or like hacking things easily to play emulators and watch streaming media of many kinds for free (many YouTube tutorials on how to do these things) then this should be well worth it for you to buy and i would encourage you to do
    • Apple seems to think TVOS is the greatest thing since sliced bread just because their platform has apps; that couldn't be further from the truth
    • An annoying thing initially - accidentally touching the vertical touch area for volume control on the remote would pop up a message saying volume is controlled with the amp
    • So originally I gave this device a four and at the time I meant it, but after owning it for less then 18 months and using it infrequently the fan bearing is gone the thing is louder then any thing in my house and to top it of,f similar fans go for about 15-20 bucks but Nvidia won't sell our
