I have no clue how this still holds it's value six years ago. Not calling it a bad product, just insane that it hasn't dropped in price even.
edit: being heavily downvoted but what I mean is that when tech ages, the price goes down. Even Apple products that hold their value exceptionally well go down 6 years after they release.

Other companies just want short term payout and don't provide long term support so some people will pay for the reliability and support.

Genuinely curious as to what is an out of the box comparable streaming device that pretty much handles anything you throw at it.

A lot of people won't like it, but honestly the Apple TV 4K 4th(?) Gen is pretty good with Infuse. I don't know what it's missing that the Shield has though.

edit: seems like you don't get true atmos support.

And the original Nvidia Shield TV (2015) is 10 years old now. The 2017 and 2019 models are pretty minor updates.
The reality is that there isn't really anything comparable on the market. All models have aged very well, and Nvidia still pushes out regular software updates. Also, it was just incredibly, incredibly future-proof when first released. Though there are maybe some reasonable options by now, Shield TV is still the best.
Would be nice to eventually get a newer model with HDMI 2.1 support for 4K/120 and 8K/60, etc. tho!

Nothing. Shield supports lossless codecs, great backlit remote, more powerful cpu than other streamers, plex server support, external storage support (2 usb3.0), ethernet port, 4k HDR10 DV, and even gaming. I primarily use it to playback my remux ripped library for lossless audio.

Bottom line: Buy it if you want the best fastest lossless streamer.

Alternative: Otherwise get an ONN device for $20 for a great value Google TV device. ONN also has a Pro model for $50 with more horsepower/snapper, ethernet, etc.

From the research I was doing bec i am sick of paying Directv when they cant even put a dish on my roof anymore (wtffffff?????????) and i dont like Comcast, ATT also sucks, so I am thinking going Youtube TV and since the controls for that suck using your phone or TV remote, and if you want to custom program FF/RW times, I think it'll be good and this sale popped up perfect timing........

"Most people don't get why the NVIDIA Shield Pro costs more—but it's not just a "streaming stick." It's a full media powerhouse. Unlike Fire Stick or Roku, the Shield can stream in 4K with no lag, play files from your computer or home server, run Plex, Kodi, emulators, and even upscale old videos to look sharper with AI. It supports Dolby Vision, Atmos, HDR10+, and lossless audio, which most cheaper devices don't.

Plus, it never slows down like other streamers—it's built like a tank and still gets updates years later. You can even customize buttons, use voice commands, and sideload any app. It's basically a tech nerd's dream tool and still crushes every other box even 5+ years later.

At $145? It's a no-brainer if you want full control over what you watch and how you watch it. It's the last streaming box you'll ever need."

Can someone provide step by step instructions? There's no 30% Instacart cash back that I see in Paypal. I scrolled through several pages of cash back websites and don't see this.

Even my original 2017 shield is still holding up well. It handles DTS-HD MA, Dolby Atmos, True HD, HDR, 3D. Anything I can throw at it. Only thing it can't do is dolby vision since they can't update the hardware. There still isn't any other stable hardware competitor who can do all this. Also continue support from the biggest company in the world.

If you just have TV and no audio equipment, roku is fine.

For some reason, no one (but possibly Apple) is bothering to put out a competing product. The new Google streamer released last year has slower hardware than the 6 - 10 year old Shield. And I don't know of any other device that supports all of the codecs it does. I started with a Roku, but when I wanted to load my Blu-ray discs onto a media server, Shield was the only one that could process the audio and video codecs. The Roku made my media server transcode whereas the Shield can play all of the original formats.

~$13 in instacart service fees, including a "long distance fee" even though the office address I entered is 0.5 miles from Best Buy. Instacart is such a trash company that I think I'd rather pay MSRP to not give them my money.
