Even the guys that LOVE this device say it's getting long in the tooth and it could use an updated version.
A few years back THIS device was KING! Long live the KING the masses chant (3 year later) as they chop off his head! Smilie

We will find out in a few months if the NEW and IMPROVED Shield will rule them all or not (again).

I guess buy this if you like tech that is old but solid (in tech years).

I did buy some Fire 4k max sticks on super sale for around 25 dollars. If you are casual, this might work for you, or get this device and hope you are still happy when the NEW shield comes out. Smilie

The fact that this is the best Android streaming box in 2022 when it came out in 2019 just goes to show how lackluster Android TV boxes have been. There is no top of the line box for enthusiasts. The first manufacturer to deck one out will be the winner for years it seems.

This is essentially the same product that was released in 2015, but now you get less. It originally came with a controller and SD card slot, which are gone. They did update the processor slightly to the X1+, and added some AI upscaling features exclusive to these slightly refreshed models. But, essentially, very outdated processor but the GPU is still up there.

There are some exclusive features, but come on, 16GB eMMC internal storage? 7 year old CPU? Almost the price of a Xbox Series S with 500GB SSD and controller??

The fact that it still costs this much is pretty crazy, considering the Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) has a better processor and better streaming support, and has been as low as $110 in the past month.

Note: I have had the 2015 Shield and the 2017 Shield, which were the same, and used my Fire TV more. To consider buying essentially the same device 5-7 years later is insane. Still a more powerful Android TV box, but severely outdated hardware at an unnecessary premium. I haven't tried this particular model, but, again, main change is AI upscaling and a remote that's maybe more useable. Edit: Also added Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos in this newer version, which most other devices can also do already.

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.
None of my subscriptions bill through Roku, what the hell are you talking about?

random feedback.

i bought an Nvidia Shield Pro during prime day and updated it right away, but it has locked up 3 times in apps, rebooted itself once and totally locked up once requiring a power cycle. and that is only in the first 30-days of ownership.

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.
The Roku stick can do it from Plex.

Unlikely there will be a new one this year, simply because nvidia doesnt have a comparable chip to upgrade it to. Both this shield and the shield before it used the same processor as the Nintendo Switch (TX1 and then TX1+); nvidia doesnt have a similar low powered chip that can do all this stuff as of today. But rumor is they are making one, for the next Switch Pro/Switch 2...but it doesnt seem thats coming this year. So anyone waiting for a new Shield, next fall is realistically the next window they have to release it.

Not sure about price, but this is STILL the best streaming device out.

If you do Kodi(get real-debrid) & IPTV(use tivimate pro), this is really the only choice for smooth operation.

Interesting. Maybe it's dolby vision that doesn't play well? Some sources will have a green or purple hue. It's really weird
Yeah, anytime I play DV files from NAS in Kodi, it's all green and purple.

For something that rarely goes on sale, this is the second $170 deal in just a few weeks. No doubt there's competition from sticks and appletv, but it also makes me wonder about a new version coming out for the fall. These sales must be reducing inventories and they wouldn't be manufacturing more of the current model.

It doesn't vitally need a new version because it's still great if one uses several of its many feature advantages. It's also true that a new version might cost much more. I wanted to run a Plex media server on the Shield but my DVD backup images are in .iso, which I understand Plex server won't handle. Kodi will, but I wanted Plex, and I don't want to convert them all again to something like .mkv. So strange that the device like the Shield that handles every possible file format would have a Plex server app that can't handle one popular type.

A sign of a great product is when you only need to have a 15%-off sale to sell a lot of units.
