Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • Very sturdy and good build quality, feels VERY comfortable with a slightly more ergonomic feel to it than an xbox controller
  • Awesome packaging, great streaming quality, nice controller, no setup required besides logging into your Google account
  • Which I mention to point out that I already had excellent picture quality on my desktop
  • The key to getting this box to run at its peak is to download a good quality VPN, IPVANISH is what I recommend
  • The quality is amazing and if you sign up you get a slew of free games that are amazing

Reviews around system (4.18 of 5)

  • As for the Shield itself, I have only had it about a week and it seems like a great system
  • buy the 500gb version that has an ir sensor if you have dreams of integrating this into a smart controller system
  • So at this point, my new system doesnt work, and I see little hope that it will work
  • I actually prefer this system over the smart TV system that came with my 4k TV - it is easier to add apps and more apps available.
  • Without the remote, the system is unusable.

Reviews around product (4.15 of 5)

  • Excellent product, I'm having so much fun playing around with it
  • (you're better off with Steam Link, and that's a bad product
  • I love it when you get a product and it just works better than you expect.
  • Overall, awesome product but the batteries in the controllers, all of the controllers could be higher capacity.
  • I am really disappointed amazon would charge a new price for a clear use product

Reviews around shield (4.06 of 5)

  • The only reason i could recommend the Shield is if it will be used for nvidia gamestreaming.otherwiseI recommend getting a Fire tv as it is more solid and a more polished product for cheaper and better voice search
  • First, the Shield lags like a nothing else, not from poor connection or misconfiguration (I had both factory reset it and ensured it received all it's patches, multiple times) but just poor overall design
  • I have tried many streaming devices and the Shield is definitely the most capable.
  • As to games, using the Nvidia shield is pretty good for that though not the best
  • The NVidia shield is rock solid as both a 4K player and a KODI device...highly recommended.

  • This device has yet to fail me - I haven't had issues so far

Reviews around thing (3.78 of 5)

  • honestly this thing is hard trash and nvidia doesnt even have telephone support
  • Love this little thing, took a bit of time to get it set up like I wanted it
  • I can't say enough good things about it and my pleasure using the device
  • I love my nvidia one thing I don't like is you can't change the home screen I would like to have a picture of my kids or something like that not just some random pictures of cells
  • so I'm hopeful the only thing wrong here is missing parts

Reviews around controller (3.69 of 5)

  • Games and emulators work great on it even though configuring the controller on some emulators is tricky.
  • But sadly today the controller is broken when is connected to the pc works like Xbox controller but the nvidia shield can't recognize the controller or the batty level.
  • The remote seems to not be as responsive as the controller
  • The controller is garbage, the unit itself has memory issues, loading issues, wifi/network problems.
  • 500GB disk is great, remote is solid, controller is good

Reviews around input lag (2.09 of 5)

  • Assuming you have a TV/monitor with relatively low input lag, you can definitely use the Shield TV to play NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis, and Turbografx-16 games all you want with very accurate controls.
  • But you should definitely check online to see what your TV's input lag is in game mode, assuming it has one.
  • Games run well, but there is significant input lag with the controller
  • (I threw out my Roku 3 and Minix X-8h after 4 days with the Shield);- Kodi is a dream on this box, smooth as
  • I personally have one of the new LG C6 OLED 55-inch TVs, and on my particular screen, input lag while in Game Mode is negligible.

Reviews around drive (1.43 of 5)

  • since that day, I have not been able to get an external hard drive to work with the Shield anymore...
  • but then one day it told me that there was nothing on my hard drive
  • I attached an external hard drive that has copies of some of my movies on it.
  • (Like a 10 port USB 3 hub + some 8TB external drives, perhaps?
  • plugged it into my computer and the hard drive was fine
