This is the Shield Pro release history --
2015 - original release
2017 - seems like the only thing they changed was the form factor, a USB port or two, and the remotes
2019 - upgraded the processor sightly, added upscaling, greatly reduced storage size, removed microSD port, removed the IR remote / receiver, added Dolby Vision & Atmos decoding.
In other words, instead of giving a legit across-the-board upgrade, they took a bunch of stuff away, gave a couple new things, and set themselves up for another baby-step-upgrade in 2021 or 2022 (maybe.) My personal feeling is that based on the upgrades & downgrades they've made, and the fact that no other manufacturer's are really competing too aggressively in the Shield's tier, I fully expect the next upgrade to be completely underwhelming, and riddled with the same "upgrade this, downgrade that" nonsense as last time.
In other words, I'm not sure it's worth the wait if you want a Shield. I also don't recall if the 2017 even went on sale when they 2019 was released. If it did, I don't think it was much of a discount.
Waiting for the pro 😁

It doesn't happen on Roku Ultra or Fire TV 4K.

Listen to the several people in this thread who are saying this is bad. Its not bad on day one or day two, it goes bad eventually. Reddit ShieldTV Thread is full of the Tube going bad. For most of us it took over an year.
If you want Shield, go with Pro, not with Tube.
