Unfortunately, it is expensive and uses older hardware that doesn't fully support all the new stuff. It does well with most things though.
There are some people that find it getting to be buggy, while others still have a great experience after 3 years of ownership.
I personally think this is still too expensive for a device using 3 year old hardware, but I would buy a new version of this. However, I'm not sure if Nvidia will update the hardware again.
If you just want a device that works and you aren't worried about playing high quality Blu Ray rips, this is probably overkill - I'd probably look at the firetv, Roku, ccwgtv, Apple 4k, etc.
Here's a decent discussion on Reddit comparing the Apple TV 4k / Firecube 3 / Shield Pro TV - https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAn...are_
Edit - it's also at Best Buy and B&H Photo for the same price.

It's just hard to justify it so many years later, when it constantly feels like a new one is releasing soon.
I absolutely get that it's probably the best one out there, but when the competition is selling at $15-25 for a much more recent version (Chromecast, FireTV) it's hard to justify that 10x increase.
If this released at $499 and was selling at $199 now? Sure. But it released in May 2015 for $199 and is selling on ack Friday 2022 for $175

I do hate the trend of releasing multiple updated models with the same name ("iPad") without a number at the end (Playstation 5), but maybe that's a sign of starting to become a boomer 😂

While I hate 'smart' apps on TV, I tend to use the LG apps now on my C1 for streaming content like Netflix and D+ for DV output as well as the audio go straight to my receiver, no more middleman, my 4k blurays go to the 4k player.
I think you can suss that out without much mental energy.
Google releases updates that slow the device down and add ads. Nvidia release updates that break functionality to the point that people end up with a useless device.

Point is, you can't go wrong with this. The amount of helpful information, videos and user forums out there for this is also a plus.
Just my humble opinions.
