This has the updated remote that is not flimsy.
I was really skeptical and critical of this remote when I took it out of the box a few years ago. But it has really become a favorite of mine. The triangular shape sits great in your hand, and the remote has a motion sensor that when you pick it up the back lighting turns on so it's easy to use in the dark. I love this remote and after three years I'm still on the original batteries which is way better than the previous rechargeable remote.

and I think the remote is frankly the biggest POS I've ever used.

I use this device for old school emulation and it works perfect. I would highly recommend NOT updating to Shield experience 9.0 or higher if you can avoid it.

Quote from dafang77 :
Main advantage of this is the audio support (especially if you use a Plex Server or play movies from a local hard drive). This was the only model available that was capable of playing DTS or lossless audio from my digital BluRay collection. It also seems to have the best integration with mainstream apps for Dolby atmos (Netflix, Disney, HBO Max). So for me, the differentiator was the audio quality paired with my home theater setup and receiver.
Agreed. Through my Roku the audio on some of my Plex movies stayed really low no matter how much I increased the TV volume. (I was cursing Plex for not having an internal audio settings booster like Kodi.) I guess the down-mixing from 7.1/5.1, etc. was the problem, because since I bought this Shield Pro from the last slick deal the audio is remarkably better across the board: instead of volume in the 30-40 range I'm setting in the 10-20 range, and it seems clearer (and the picture seems better too).

I'm thinking of getting another one for my elderly mom so I can use AnyDesk to remote in and help her out, plus use it for video calling on the big screen.

Connecting your PC to your entertainment center tends to be cumbersome and inconvenient. Even using an Xbox or PS5 is less convenient and less streamline compared to this device which is purpose built for streaming and gives you access to the Google play store for a wide range of apps.
My Samsung Smart TV has most of the Apps built-in. Can't find any need for Shield unless if I want to play media files directly from local file system.

Quote from saltinekracka20 :
How good would this be at streaming games from my PC? Would it be a better value than buying an Xbox Series S for the living room to play game pass on?
Its pretty good for streaming games, and you have many options for apps you could use for that (Nvidia GameStream, Moonlight, Steam Link, Parsec, etc). Not as good as a mini PC or laptop running Windows, but it works well enough. However, with any game streaming you're going to have latency even over gigabit ethernet.

It might be still be worth it for you if you want to be able to jump back and forth between sitting at your PC and your living room while playing the same games, but I found the latency was enough to make me not want to play anything that requires timing, and there were enough issues where things didn't work smoothly (e.g. resolution mismatch can throw things off, Nvidia Game Stream just didn't connect sometimes and I'd have to go mess with my PC to get things working), that I don't use this very often.

I've had the best experience streaming to an old laptop running Windows 10, running Moonlight, which leads me to think if the sole purpose is game streaming, a mini PC with Windows (or maybe Linux?) would be a better choice. Other devices I have streamed PC games to: MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad -- the Windows laptop did better than all of those for some reason. I just got a Steam Deck and I"ll be giving streaming to that a try, though the whole point for me getting that is to run the games on the Steam Deck itself so I don't have streaming latency.

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.
So, would you wait for the next model or buy this one right now?

I mean, that is one of the biggest reasons to buy a shield TV. The ability to stream 4K content from drive storage or media server is what puts the Shield TV above other streaming devices.

If you have a nice 4k HDR TV and watch a lot of YouTube this is not for you.

Quote from FashionPagan :
You must be joking. The Nvidia Shield runs rings around the crappy Roku. And Roku is about to lose a lot of apps because of their greedy "all money must go through us policy"

Firesticks and Rokus are garbage, and even the Fire Cube (yes, I have them all) can't compare to the shield. I even hacked mine so that I can press the nextflix button a short press and open plex. Long press, open netflix and double click it, and it opens hulu.
My 4K Firestick keeps crashing due to all bloatware Amazon installs on it, and now Amazon hides the ability to sideload. It also recently killed the ability to use custom launchers.

It is quickly going to the Roku model of allowing only the apps from the Amazon appstore.

I was in the same boat until a friend finally convinced me to pick one up when it was on sale. I even made the same argument, way overpriced, my xbox does just as well etc.

I'm never going back and will purchase the new model when it comes out. The speed, interface, AI upscaling are just the best. Now I'm the one trying to convince others to take the plunge it's like a weird cult but I can't recommend it enough.

Yep...been avoiding the OS update on my 2017 for like forever. Older devices generally were never designed with the new OS in mind so not surprised about all the performance issues and bugs associated with the latest system update....however I heard many got fixed but not wanting to take the chance as i have all my settings and stuff working with my AVR home theater. Last thing I want to do is troubleshhoot why Atmos or dtsx passthrough isn't working anymore to my speakers.
