How do you connect ethernet? I'm looking at the spec sheet for this model on the website and ethernet is listed, but I'm not seeing how this is possible out of the box. Does anyone know if I need to buy an adapter or does this have a modified ac adapter that has the ethernet port on it?

RJ-45 [legitreviews.com] port is on the opposite end of the HDMI connection, along with the power jack.

Yes, but with 2GB of RAM you may see some slow / freezing transcodes (Usually with 4K). I bought the Pro version for this reason and have no regrets. Regardless, the Shield is the best Plex player out there. It has support for all the current audio codecs, which a lot of players lack (especially DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD).

Does it have any issues playing 4k from a plex server that is hosted on a local nas?

Playing content, no. I think it did, but was fixed with an update [piunikaweb.com].

And there's a Pro model for $50 more.

I have that plus FireTV and the Shield is great but for overall streaming (I think) FireTV with Amazon is better (it has the best app support).

Shield really shines in gaming if you're into that. Has a nice controller too (costs extra).

Glad Nvidia has stuck with this product, but its now over 3 years old without a new model.

Agree. If you're not gaming or streaming with Plex, get something else. No HDR support in YouTube or Google TV is a bummer.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank eoniverse1

I own three Shield Pro's (multiple generations). I know nothing about gaming. Comment below is about streaming and playing local content.

Stay away from this non-pro version no matter how tempting the price. It simply does not have the chops to handle large associated files for whatever technical reasons. Read reviews. Stuttering (especially on large quality streams) etc.

I've had no issues with any of the Pro's I own for over 5 years!

Best thing about buying this from Amazon is you can usually return this relatively easily.

Fair waring: the "tube" only supports 32-bit apps...

https://www.androidpolice.com/202...-to-panic/

So, in terms of longevity, you may want to consider the Pro instead. Also, this is from 2019, and previously NVIDIA had been on a two-year update cycle, so we are overdue.

Just can't bring myself to spend over $100 on a Google device with only 2gb ram and 8gb of storage and no 64bit capability. I don't care what the processor is or what ports it has. This is a 2019 device. And both Shield devices skimp on these. I don't get how they bump up the processor (and that's not even a big leap) but leave this stuff as is.

It's a shame no other mfg wants to create a premium Google TV experience and catch these guys sleeping having milked their customers for years. Even Google itself went backwards from a clearly aging ccgtv to bringing out a cheaper 1080 version. They should've updated the og ccgtv to be the basic cheap model and create a Plus version with better processing, ram and on board storage or added a card slot along with Ethernet and hdmi port, not a built in cable.

Even the new reference device is still basic entry level hardware, ram and storage.
