Is there any reason to use something like this with an lgCx?
It plays HDR files from the USB with KODI or streaming with PLEX. To my knowledge it's still just about the only way to do that but I've not kept up much with this kind of tech in the last couple years.

also, not sure if it was mentioned but amazon has for same price


https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-Shield-Android-Streaming-Performance/dp/B07YP9FBMM/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1DN... [amazon.com]
Could be an indication that a replacement is on the horizon.
Unless they're stuck with too much inventory.
The price on Amazon was reduced to $169.99 less than a month ago (prime day deal).

Other (non-"pro") model also reduced ($124.99) at Best Buy and Amazon.
Likely a factory authorized sale to clear out inventory.
Neither is on clearance though, so new model(s) are questionable (at least for now).
Still somewhat overpriced (especially the "pro"), even on sale (IMHO).

There seems to be a lot of aggressive downvoting going on in this thread. Even people's questions, like "why is this better than...", are getting downvoted.

There is gonna be a new model this year for sure. It's been 3 years and we are now starting to see discounts. I bet a new one is announced by November.
I'd agree. 2019 tech sound over the hill. However, what could they 'upgrade' it? Aside from bigger capacity?

It's a good deal, just many don't know why/how to use this. I'm one of them, but have heard great things about it. Even if using it only for basic apps, it renders those even better. I'm going to bite, especially since I can't stand Tizen on Qn95b

Can someone answer a couple of questions for me? I have an "Android" TV os and honestly can't stand the interface... so much so that I had to get a Fire cube. Now to be fair, I'm an old head so... I like my stuff simple but...

Is this different in any way? Meaning, would this OS be different from the android OS that was built into my set?

I'm also looking to play Steam games... could this work?

Thanks a bunch!

Are you serious? I have a couple of Shield TV Pro's and Fire Stick Max's and I literally want to throw the Fire Sticks outside the window. They're have a crappy UI, full of bugs with the Plex app, etc. The Shield is the best media player especially if you are into HT.
I agree with this statement. I've gone through the high end Firesticks and Roku's and the Shield blows them all away. Amazon is locking down it's Firestick universe. You can't even put a new start page on it anymore.

I mainly got the Shield to record iPTV to an SSD via TiviMate. It works flawlessly.

There are some good Android boxes out there, but Shield has really good support and forums, plus some features that work rock solid. I got the same deal for the Shield on day 1 of Prime Day. If you were planning to bite on this, do it now.

People want to have good feelz about their $170 streaming device.

To this day they haven't stopped me from installing Kodi on it. Maybe that day will come soon, but for now it works.

Since nobody has really answered the "why this over that" question: One good reason is streaming services and their restrictions on content.

Netflix, for instance, requires a certified HDCP compliant device to steam 1080P or 4K.

Use a noncompliant device and it will only serve up 720P.

Does lack of HDMI 2.1 effect streaning? Don't laugh folks, but thought 2.1 was only way to get 120hz. Even if not using games/vrr, isn't this a drawback being 2.0b?
