Sunshine and Moonlight are the server-client pair of apps you will want to use to do any LAN game streaming. They are relatively easy to set up, but it's something you should know about before purchasing if you intend to use this as a game streaming device.

As for performance, I have not had any issues at all with this model of Shield. I used it to replace the smart features on a 2016 Samsung TV that was getting progressively more annoying and losing support for applications like Twitch.

It used to be the best streaming device out. But over time, the OS experience got worse and worse and the hardware sat stagnant while the competition got better and better.
My wife still uses the Shield because she prefers the triangle shaped remote. But I've grown to hate the Shield and moved onto using the 4K Apple TV for myself.
Unless you're using the NVIDIA Shield Pro as the Plex server itself, then that's a different story. I run my Plex server off of my Synology NAS and use my NVIDIA Shield Pro as a TV client only connected to my LG 77" C1.
As for streaming apps, if the Shield is set to 60Hz, I get a ton of video stutter with audio in sync. If the Shield is set to 24/30Hz, video plays perfectly but audio will not stay in sync. Refresh rate switching apps result in smooth video but out of sync audio. Whether I have dolby audio processing enabled or not doesn't make a difference.
Kodi/Kodinerds plays 4K DV rips absolutely perfectly* (*MEL only, Shield won't do FEL) At this point, that's the only thing I use the Shield for.
Also a reason why I play in Apple's camp for a change with my one projector using an atv4k. The rest I'm still on Android.

-I also love it for tivimate app multi screen option.. You need a a fast processor and good video card to stream 4-10 different channels at same time..
I tried to do this with the new fire stick 4k plus with 6e... It could not stream over 3 channels in tivimate same time

I like Apple's support update plans (basically, going on 7-8 years for most of their hardware, that's forever in computer years...)
