As a medium-priced games console the nVidia Shield TV is just getting started, and it's probably unfair to compare it at this early stage with the more expensive established standards, the PS4 and the XBox One. The games from the various sources on offer—...

Abstract: nVidia launched the Shield Android TV here in the UK on September the 30th last year. Normally, journalists expect review samples to be available either at the launch itself, or very shortly after. With the Shield it took three months and a dozen or so em...

Abstract: When a newly acquired gadget goes wrong, the first thing any inquisitive user will do is scour the Web for disgruntled fellow-sufferers. And of course will always find them. The next step might be to tweet, or otherwise publicly complain: “Product X is a...
Huge performance potential, Excellent build quality, Now includes remote, GeForce Now is future of consoles Near-silent in operation, Ample connectivity options
Expensive for a streamer, Android TV missing big-name apps
The Nvidia Shield TV is the best-specified media player to date. For a £149 outlay you receive hardware that really is in another league to any other box I can think of. The Tegra X1 processor is potent enough to power the next generation of high-performa...
As an Android TV device, there isn't anything better than the Shield TV. While that's a bit of a backhanded compliment, due to Android TV's own limitations, Nvidia's saving grace is its focus on games and 4K.For the price, you're getting a rather adept An...

PriceThe Nvidia Shield TV is available from retailers or directly from the Nvidia website with a price of £149.99, which I think is excellent value for money given the hardware specifications and performance. If you only want it for multimedia playback, t...
We're extremely impressed by the Nvidia Shield both as a media streamer and as a games console. The beautiful UI and game-streaming technology is powered by one of the most impressive mobile processors on the market at the moment, and provides an experien...
Abstract: While your Roku or Amazon Fire TV is great for streaming down movies, both lack any true gaming prowess. Enter Nvidia's Shield TV, a tiny set-top box and the latest member of the Shield family and it promises fully fledged console games along with Android...
