Abstract: The Nvidia NVDA +0.50% Shield is the most powerful streaming TV set-top box ever made. With it, you can stream 4K videos and play console-quality videogames, two things you can't do on a Roku, an Apple AAPL -0.30% TV, Amazon's Fire TV and even Google 'sGO...
Reviewing the NVIDIA Shield Android TV was not an easy task, since there is nothing else currently on the market that could be considered as worthy competition. First of all, the hardware is in a league of its own. The Shield is built around the Tegra X1...
The SHIELD Android TV is a reasonably priced premium 4K over-the-top set top box with gaming performance that well exceeds any other STB. In that respect, given the rising importance of OTT streaming and casual gaming in the living room, NVIDIA has achiev...
Great gaming potential, 4K video support, Futureproof hardware, Lots of ports
Android TV apps are still lacking, Accessories are expensive, Most expensive box in this class, Larger than other boxes
The second iteration of the Shield Android TV is a proper successor that shows NVIDIA knows just how to iterate on this platform. In an Android TV space that still lacks a robust number of choices — and even fewer good choices — the Shield Android TV stan...

You don't have to worry about this platform being new, like you did when PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launched. It's already got a stable of games, pumped up and waiting for you to play.You don't have to worry about this platform relegating which media you...
The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV is the first Android TV device to support 4K content and it without a doubt the most power model on the market when it comes to gaming performance. This means that if you are one of the lucky individuals that owns a 4K Ultra H...
Great Build Quality, Excellent Performance, 4K @ 60FPS, Netflix 4K Certified, Great Voice Controls
Somewhat Pricey, Some Games Aren't Well Suited To Game Controllers
The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV has a somewhat split personality. One personality is an elegantly designed, premium device with a feature set that's currently unrivaled. Media playback is excellent, the device and its accessories are well built and exude qua...

The NVIDIA SHIELD is an amazing piece of hardware. Couple that with the new Android TV platform and operating system and you have the makings of a hit. NVIDIA's Tegra X1 SoC with the 8-core ARM CPU and 256-core Maxwell GPU make SHIELD the fastest Android-...
The Nvidia Shield Android TV streaming box offers best-in-class hardware, connectivity and gaming capabilities. It works with 4K streaming services including Netflix and YouTube. The Android TV platform delivers good conversational voice search from the i
It's more expensive than any other streamer and doesn't include a remote, aside from the game controller. Native app selection is still weaker than that of Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. The menu system seems designed to push users toward Google's med
While the Nvidia Shield's 4K video and solid gaming chops make it the most potent Android TV device yet, app shortfalls and a relatively high price limit its appeal...
