Super slick new UI, Excellent redesign of controller, Amazon and Netflix 4K HDR apps, PLEX server built-in, Excellent media playback capabilities, Some exciting features still to come, GeForce NOW streaming quality is great
Remote loses connection sometimes, Still some colour space muddles, No dynamic refresh rate switching for some major apps, New remote is not as good
The 2017 NVIDIA SHIELD TV is by no means a revolutionary product it is, after all, more or less the same beast as the original SHIELD TV, released in 2015. Don't take that as a bad thing, however, as the TEGRA X1 processor inside the two of them is still...

Maxwell GPU, Tegra X1 packs plenty of power, 4K playback, GeForce Now has improved, Inhome streaming works well, Attractive design
Only 16GB of internal storage, Android TV can feel limiting.
Nvidia has built an impressive set top box here, equipped with a custom Maxwell GPU that is capable of running full PC titles like Half-Life 2 and decoding 4K HEVC sources for Ultra-HD playback on services like Netflix. If you have a 4K TV already and are...
