"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."

My only concern is that the NVIDIA Shield is powered by the same GPU as the Nintendo Switch. The Switch 2 is about to come out...which makes me wonder if a Shield refresh might follow.
edit: seems like you don't get true atmos support.

Their main focus was streaming local .mkv

when it worked it was quite nice (back when DVRs were hella expensive, cable cards were a thing and streaming services weren't a thing), but on the daily occurrences when it didn't
