For local contents. Shield pro is the best. Can passthrough everything mostly
I do nit having issue woth shield… as you mentioned. There is a "beta" feature to match frame rate from the source *need to check again*
Color space and glitch not really. This shield pro .
One random issue, if the source is DV, sometimes the color space is away off. The solution is turn off my home theater and turn back on. Not sure this is receiver or shield or my P65 2nd gen vizio.
Love apple tv UI and smoothness for UI and online streaming. But playing local files are No bueno.
I have 2 fire tv. 1st and 2nd gen. 1st is giving me. Headaches. Slow and sometimes crashing. 2nd model seems ok , will see if going to the same path of my 1st gen or not
Chomecast 1gen and 4k hahha. 1st gen is choking a lot when streaming . 4k is ok but replaced by Apple Tv 2nd gen ( away better thab chromecast 4k).
This is just me, seeing tendency android tv is getting slow gradually when they push updates or security patches.
surprisingly nvida shield pro that I got 3 years ago, does not having the same symptoms. So far at least 5 updates from nvidia🤣. And they still support their products
One feature that i can not find. Nvida AI upscaler is very good, especially watching pre 4k old series. I compared with firetv 2nd gen and chromecast 4k including apple tv 2nd gen. Nvidia AI upscaler is the best as i know.
Just my experience
We have iphone and ipad in our family. So far ok. Our old iPhone was. SE 1st gen to iphone 12. Actual still keeping 4S, but some apps that i want not running in the old IOS🤧…
The oldest still usable in our family is ipad air 1st gen. Surprisingly the battery health still good enough
I stand by however that it's not the BEST player if all you do is stream from apps - ATV (especially newer Gen) wins hands down.
The argument is use dependent but to each his own
That said, I hope you're right, and I hope Amazon extends it to other devices, like the 4K Fire Stick or Max. Having a mainstream manufacturer adopt bitstream passthrough could help drive the whole market in that direction.
Excellent product with tight quality control, and good value for the money. I know there's no buy it for life technology, but this is one of those rare occasions where the product is truly worth what they're asking for it. I'm half a decade into the purchase and going strong.
Great deal.
Mine: power button is easy to get stuck…
Thanks
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Detonation
The only reason to buy one of these is if you need local/network playback. But if you're into that kind of thing, you already know that by now and probably own one already.
If you just want streaming, the Apple TV is by far the better device and costs a lot less.
Yes, I am a long time shield user with several of them. I run a Plex server and it handles that very well.
I can conceed that other devices, IMHO, perform better with specific Apps. I also have the ATV 2021 version, FireTV cube 2nd gen, Roku's FTV Sticks, Chromecasts etc.
Each one has it's pros and cons and I for one don't really think there is any one device that is a "Best thing since they put pockets on Teeshirts" "Best of all time" all in one solution. YMMV. Sure the shield can do everything but does it do EVERYTHING better than all the rest?, In my experience, no.
The ATV is more snappy in response, the interface is simple and it just works when I need it to.
The FTV Cube is full of ads but it also just works
The Shield runs my Plex server and my HDHomerun DVR and it does this very well.
I personally don't feel the need to be the "Smartest Person in the room" about it but for a person that runs a plex server, uses apps and plays an occasional emulator, the shield checks those boxes but I do use the ATV and FTV depending on what I want to watch.
I do not have a "State of the art" cinema/sound system and don't consider myself an expert or music snob, I enjoy a good picture and decent audio, so for those looking to have the best visual and audio experiences, you have my respect and I defer to you.
Not wanting to start a long drawn out debate with anyone on this because I believe it's a matter of chice and I don't feel the need to convince anyone but myself.
FWIW, the last updates on the shield were and continue to be a problem, this changed my opinion on the shield. I had to roll back to 8.2.3 and believe me, that was not fun.
As long as a device fits your needs, you are golden.
I have collections of chromecast, firetv, apple tv, and chines tv box thar flashed with corelec🤣.
Mostly collected dusts . Shield pro, 2nd firetv and apple tv 2nd gen are my main driving currently

I mostly stream youtube, twitch, and the normals. I don't run a NAS. I have an Onkyo and atmos speaker setup. I do have a 4k HDR TV.
What benefit would this give me?

If you play mostly through nas or local, shield pro is the best based on my experience

"Hey it's totally not your fault and I'm out of warranty, and I'm definitely going to buy a new shield when they come out either way .
But, would you guys mind to replace my controllers that quit working a month out of warranty?"
They emailed back with instructions and sent me a shipping label.
They were totally about just being fair with me.
It was great.
Cheaper options don't work that well. The replacement Nvidia remote is fantastic in comparison.
