An update in 2022 bricked my shield
A ha, here we have it, you promote fire devices so you can sell more of this bs
Fire devices are terrible, your promotion of them suggests your opinions aren't worth listening to.
I bought the Shield Pro in 2021 and it's hands down the best streaming device I've ever owned.
Do NOT buy Amazon Firetv or cube! What's the use of getting a cheaper device (which it is better) but Amazon disabled USB Debugging & are discontinuing 3rd party apps & moving towards an HORRIBLE locked down system like Apple. You're wasting your money but most people are dumb & will stick with Amazon. I dropped them like a hot potatoe & if more people do what I did you'll see Amazon hurt like DTV did. Also Amazon did not care that Wyze cameras no longer worked with Alexa & Wyze never gave any help. So I guess Wyze knew. Stick with an Android box. Now I get to view my cams again no thanks to Amazon.
Idk what you are talking about, I can install 3rd party apps fine on Fire TV 4k stick still. And the moonlight app functions the same as Shield, I can stream 4k games form my pc easily
When you say dumb.. you mean people who aren’t ‘geek dweebs’ right?
@@MylonasFilms No I mean they won't leave Amazon. They just put up with the bs. All Android box operate the same as firestick. It may have settings in a different place but everything is the same.
Dude wtf you talking about, nothing comes close to the Nvidia Shield..one still going since 2015...
Yeah,this guy is full of you know what.
In terms of what?
Did you watch the video? Or just read the title?
Its 10x better than any other device. Flawless
@stephen: I think this is subjective. I myself prefer the AppleTV…..I sold my Nvidia shield.
I had a lot of streaming devices, I'll stick with Nvidia Shield.
@@macruz8503 Out of curiosity, why do you prefer Apple TV to Nvidia Shield? I'm undecided on which one to buy
@@giuliano71 hey there. Well for me I think the user interface is a lot cleaner and minimilastic. The phone integration is great….for example let’s say I watched a show last year. It will give me a new phone notification telling me there are new episodes/ season. Also I am able to walk mount the Apple TV which clears up space . It just works for me very easy to plug and play. Oh yeah also when I buy movies or tv shows it asked payment via the phone and Apple Pay is pretty secure instead of having the actual card on tue device.
No, it's fucking laggy.
Bought shield tv pro in 2015, still going strong 😁 my only Android device in house.
Had my Shield since 2016, and it's never let me down. Had 5/6 firesticks fail me in that time so no brainer for me. Yes it's pricey but u have no restrictions and will save u money in the long run! For me it's always been the best and for me...still is! 👍
Currently you can achieve more on the Shield than Fire due to Amazon Changes.
I'd buy a shield against Fire
Nothing comes close to the shield
They are not even comparable as the Fire can't do what the shield was designed for which is cloud gaming. Due to the OS the Fire can't even run Cloud gaming apps. If you only want to stream movies or music the Shield is a complete overkill and no one should pay 100+ bucks on it just to do that.
No one has the level of performance hardware that the shield comes with. There is nothing that even comes close.
With Amazon moving away from the Android OS, I’m looking for a new device that I can backload, was looking at the Shield but have the same age concerns. Recently picked up a Cube and regretting it since I heard the OS change is coming
I have 3 Shield Pros and had 2 new Firecubes but sold them for $50 each because they can't sniff the Shield Pro.
Just saw this review.....just had to write that really NO argument given by this dude is a reason not to buy this device!!!
What about all the supported audio outputs, trueHD, DTS, etc?
Benchmarks only mean something when it translates to real-time performance difference.
No other devices do full atmos surround throughput. Only device that can be used with 4k rips with plex. And the only one i know of with gbs lan port. 100mbit is not enough for uncompressed uhd.
Question: does it have to be connected to internet to do the upscaling?
I am just worried that they turn such a beautiful device into a brick whennthey drop the support 😢
@@marjorieblack4888no as far as i know upscaling is done locally on hardware
@@marjorieblack4888 no
The value in the shield is the ability to go 3rd party apps, the Firestick is about to change their operating system that will prevent you from downloading what you want on it. I'm keeping my shield till it no longer works.
I have the 2015 shield tv 16gb and it's still works great. I cleaned the fan for the first time last month. Does anyone have the 2015 model and the 2019 model? Is it worth upgrading to the 2019 model? I know they might come out with a 2024 model?? But I haven't heard any leaks to that point. Nvidia might not come out with a new one.
I currently have the latest fire cube and I’ve been considering getting a Nvidia Shield for a while now. I know that the fire stick third party apps feature may come to an end one day. And I want to be ready for that day. So getting one is definitely an option for me. I just have been hesitant because I don’t wanna buy one and as soon as I do. Boom, here comes the next version. I’d be pissed ‼️😂
I want devices that are friendly for streaming videos/videofiles from my Computer. this means i need to toss out my Roku, got a video covering side loading recommended devices?
I have fire sticks, android tvs and the Nvidia shield... I use the Nvidia shield the most... Total misinformation
I have two Nvidia shields, ones from 2015 and one of the latest pros. The 2015 model still gets regular updates and is basically the same processor as the newer models. I’ve gone through three (yes THREE) cromecasts and a Roku in the same timeline on my secondary tv, yet my shield is still running strong!
i'm still rocking a 2017 shield and it's pretty quick and flawless
Looking to buy one of these because it seems the best option to watch torrented content on your TV, as the Nvidia Shield has VLC. Is it the best for that?
Bought Nvidia shield in 2016 still going strong.
Going to get the Nvidia Shield Pro 😊
My Nvidia shield has been having a lot of bugs lately and freezes a lot
Stay away from firestick/cube
Hi new to this side of tech. What device would be the best one to get?
I have an old 4k tv from 2016, still works perfectly. But it doesn't have smart capabilities.
I was set on the SHIELD TV PRO, but this video made me question that.
So yeah please help, 😊
The NVidia Shield pro is still easily one of the top choices. But Just keep in mind they will probably come out with a new devices sometime soon
At least with Shield you don’t put up with the Amazon bullshit. Still the Gold Standard even if they aren’t likely to make a new box. Their focus is now AI
I couldn't agree more.
TOTALLY agree. Fire Stick/Cube was the only thing close to the Shield, but thats changed with the Fire Stick getting more and more locked down. FireStick is becoming AppleTV 2.0...especially once Amazon gets its own OS.
Fire tv devices are crap there way too slow. There's nothing that compares to shield.
You have posted plenty of videos on here that have given me plenty of reasons not to get FireStick / Cube devices. The NVIDIA Shield Pro has performed flawlessly for me for a very long time. Why do they need to come out with a newer version or model? If it's not broke, then why fix it?
im not saying it isnt worth it. My biggest point is do not buy a new one as an upgraded model is probably coming
@@UpgradeGuyTech Understood. They did a good job at future proofing the NVIDIA Shield Pro.
Nope, Nvidia is making so much money on AI, they could care less about the Shield TV, latest hotfix was 10 months ago, it's safe to assume future development of the Shield TV is dead in the water, sadly @@UpgradeGuyTech
@@UpgradeGuyTechthat is not what your video says, you're literally advising fire devices over the shield, the very reason I found this video is because of how hacked iff with fire TV I am, and looking for something that will actually work and not crash and promote and Amazons crap content.
Your only criticisms are you THINK they might launch a new device (ironic that you promote Amazon who have released multiple fire devices, why doesn't that render the previous obsolete? And Amazon have a proven track record in needless fire devices upgrades to sell more devices, yet your promoting a company that is a worse offender for one of your main criticisms of the shield, utter hypocrisy.
Your second criticism is they haven't issued software updates for nearly 2years......have you considered that it doesn't need them, if it works well "if it ain't broke don't fix it"
What a pathetic criticism. lack of updates is a positive not a negative. The fact you think lack of updates is a good thing is concerning for what modern tech has done to people's perceptions. A good device should never need updates, it should work properly from day one, the more updates a device needs means the worse it was when released, continued updates indicate the company can't even correct what should have works at launch properly.
Youre meant to indicate sponsored content, and that's the only logical conclusion (without using ad hominems) for your "opinion" is that Amazon are paying you.
Anyway thanks to the comments on this video. I shall now go and purchase a shield and take great delight in smashing the heck out my fire TV device
I have two Nvidia Shields the 2017 & 2019 TV Pro models got no complaints and I I've had the Firesticks and FireCubes.
Me 2
I bought a Shield Pro back in 2022 (the 2019 model) because it's still the only device that does full audio passthrough for Plex and other local streaming solutions that is reasonably priced and dependable. It also is good for running a Plex server, but for me, I just use it as a Plex client when I want to watch movies and TV I've put on Plex the same way I would when playing them from the disc. So for these functions, the newest hardware isn't required unless they start introducing new standards. With this said though, I've considered giving up Plex and simply going back to my physical media for quality better than streaming, just because things just work with physical media in terms of compatibility. Either way, The shield for me, has been a solid solution for local streaming content in formats most other devices don't fully support.
This guy works and advertised by Amazon firestick so don't expect him to give you a honest review of other stream devices
I GIVE VERY HONEST REVIEWS I WISH I WORKED FOR AMAZON AND THEY ACTUALLY PAID ME
There is one fact that has not been mentioned at all. Try to get trueHD sound out of one of the other devices. Even my new Apple tv is not capable of that.
What’s better than a shield ?
I love the upscaling. It's definitely the best still.
Shield Pro still rocks got a second one this year for bedroom ai upscaling well worth the extra cash
probably could be a new shield in 2025, the newest tegra chip will be available to the switch 2, they could divide the production if nvidia want.
I haven't gotten one yet and I would like it for both gaming and streaming but I don't want to pay $200 for an old device. unless I can find an alternative, I'd still consider it on sale though.
I got the original pro in 2015 500gb storage plus memory card slot and it still runs flawless, games old and new also handles streaming really good, as a founders member it only cost £5 something a month too for gaming and nivida have always updated its product too so no issues their so when has it ever been an outdated device? Never !!! Some people have issues with the newer boxes but iv had none its ran everyday for streaming movies and tv shows, as the kids use it also i have emulators running smoth as fuck so we play the old school games alot too mega drive, super nintendo, gameboy, nds, game gear, its purely well and simply the best device known to man 9 years and still running 🤷🏻♂️ the only things iv upgraded on mine was the remote, and the controller !!!!
Note that using s controller for this device feels terrible. The Bluetooth has such a low range that yoh have to be really close for it to work. Or connect device via usb or use adapters
It's still 100% better than any firestick crap, even without updates.
The retail price for this is crazy, for sure buy used or if there's a sale. Nearly 10 years on the market (2015 edition) and still the best box all around. Hopefully another Shield makes its way in 2025 but I won't hold my breath
I use Google Chromecast with Google TV for the past 3 years at a fraction of the Nvidia Shield price and works perfectly for what I use it. I would never spend over $250 dollars. If they sell it for $50 I will try it lol.
I have a google Chromecast with Google TV in the living room and bedroom, so easy to use, maintain and never any problems.
if you want updates for your shield just install Lineage OS…
What improvements could be made?
I purchased the 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro for $300 which was full price in my currency specifically for running Kodi Omega. And for this specific purpose only the best $300 I ever spent
its still worth getting the device if you dont have a android tv .i have them all over my house because i have a oled and a qled but they are flawless and i mean that on anything i throw at them movies live tv and games .
Still have both 2017 2019 and still love
Terrible take
I'm still using a 2017 model and it has been so damn reliable and consistent that I have really no reason to even consider changing it (and it's not even the latest model). Excellent support, planty of power, damn good retro console. never a problem with pads, keyboards, headphones...
But I'd really like for Nvidia to release a 2024 model, because mine still runs good (with come thermo paste change along the way), but nothing is eternal sadly.
😅
Nothing comes close to a NVS, even thou it came out in 2019 , just don't do it guys , if you can get it cheap enough or on sale buy it, & don't look back
Lossless Audio is worth it. Even the lastest Amazon cube struggles with some Audio format decoding. So toyally agree with the video but for some of us it is the go to device.
Still using my 2017 Shield in my living room. hope we get a new device from nvidia
So im currently looking to buy a steaming box, thats how I landed on this video, cause I was looking at the Sheild Tv, cause i sorted by price and it was the most expensive , however i already knew how old the hardware was, and ok I could live with that since it still performs pretty well and im not into gaming on android ( got an xbox and pc for that ) but I live in Iceland so add another 100$ on that price so the Pro version is 300$ here, but that's just living here so ok I could accept that .. However what killed the idea for me was the lack of updates.. There is just no way i would spend that money on a device not getting any more updates.. I think this was a good video , i was not aware of the software situation so now im gonna subscribe and look at your other videos about tv boxes and see if I like any of them ... If i could get decent hardware, let's say a gutted S24 Ultra in one of these boxes, with a Dex like mode .. that would be awesome ! :) Or even a powerfull box running ChromeOS
Have you considered it works well so doesn't need updates.
A product shouldn't need updates it should function properly at launch, updates are largely because the product failed to work as it's meant to, the more updates a product need the worse it was when launched.
Just got one yesterday
The Navy Exchange removed all of them from the shelves which is nuts because they have always had it so, I think it may be a canceled unit.
Omg why o why when you see RESOLUTION set at 4k 59.940 just press ot and chnage it to full 60hrz much better
Wouldn't we hear about the new version Well ahead of time?
I have a 2017 shield and it's still going strong but they should be releasing updates and no one is making any new videos on sideloadiing 3rd party apps like they did in the early years ,its hardly mentioned anymore,like it's a thing of past
Hopefully they can come out with a newish version for 2024
I would like to purchase it, except that I read that full-screen advertisements appear on the home screen, even without apps open, which keeps me from purchasing. Can you tell me if they keep appearing? Is this something limited to America? (I am Italian). I don't want to change launcher, I don't really like the various custom UIs, so if there is a workaround like changing the DNS I'm open to that. Thank you!
I am not sure what full screen ads people are talking about. I am still using my 2015 Shield TV and all I see is suggestions of programs from the streaming apps I have installed and asked the system to give suggestions. And those suggestions are shown on the top part of the home screen. This is not an Nvidia thing. It's part of Android TV.
I am thinking of buying the 2019 Version for the AI Upscaling but I am afraid there will be a new release soon. Go ahead, buy it. You wont need to buy any other android streaming device!
Smart commercial : u dont say "buy a fire cube" but "dont buy a Shield" wich is the best android box....
If it wasnt a commercial, u would compare many devices, not only the amazon one :D
200 bucks is nothing for a sweet Android box that is flawless😅
I think specs vs actual performance for non gamers with films, which I think is the vast majority of users. I use it for all of my streaming services. The audio codec for Bluetooth goes up to LDAC (the best) and I have the FIRST version.
It's absolutely peerless & they are probably not making another... the prices have gone absolutely bonkers because of this.
I think this is an absolutely dreadful & uninformed call.
Man i bought mine 2020 and it is 0:50 smooth like butter
If there is going to be a new Sheila, then people should hold off, otherwise you can’t beat it.
Can't wait for the new Sheila
Ive had mine for 8yrs now....still use it every day. What real NEW TECHNOLOGY is there? 🤷♂️ We are still on the same ol 4K as before
nothing can compete , it's still the boss .
Still using my 2015 shield ( got from gamestop for $150 at the time ). Great purchase. Still going strong. I also got a $20 walmart onn 4tv last month, that i also like. Honestly if you just want to watch videos and stream , i think the onn tv is a great buy. But if you are into gaming , casual or even high end steam games shield is amazing. Plus its geforce now service is like none other.
I seriously wonder if amazon paid you to advertise firetv. Firetv is not even a competition to shield. Shield is at a different level. you start advertising shield by comparing cpu benchmarks. Even a non tech user would know a tv box is supposed to play videos and depends almost 100% on its graphics processing power. The nvidia tegra processor on my 2015 shield is still more powerful than any firetv in 2024. Nvidia is the envy of every company for a reason.
As far your cry about shield releasing android late , its similar to apple releasing features way after android does. A newest / flasiest android is not what anyone using android tv box needs. They need a stable experience. Yes the recent release of shield was a disaster , but they promptly fixed it with another release 15 days later - something you forgot to mention. I think your entire video was about promoting firetv sales - and had nothing to do with shield.
And if "value-for-money" is someones concern - They wouldn't get a shield. There are plenty of cheap tv sticks/boxes. I got the onn tv box for another room which I love.
I think they are waiting for Nintendo to launch Switch 2 to release a new Shield TV.
I had it for about a year on my Wishlist and it never goes on sale... Was thinking of getting one because of the Plex server and transcode capabilities, but I think it's better to invest in a NAS with a good GPU integrated.
Thanks for the video, I'll hold my horse to buy it. 😂
In my opinion the price is prohibit . Was lanched years ago and the price is still the same . If it have a drop in price maybe i buy .
Why Nvidia should do anything? Why they should lower the price? They supposed to increase the price because after 5 years nobody made anything better! I'm going to purchase one before it disappears from market!
I have a Shield..had a Firetv before.. The Shield is by far the better Android device on the market.
Today I bought Shield pro at a promotional price for $230 and after what I saw, no equipment is equal to it. It is fast, efficient, does not jam, and the image also looks beautiful. I switched from Amazon
I'm still using an original 2015 pro it's the oldest tech I own that's still in daily use. For media use it's the only box worth buying imo. The rest of the android boxes are nowhere near as polished and some not all have back doors, the fire cube is a walled garden and doing anything outside requires modding and remodding every update. Like it or not the shield is the only real game in town and I'll be using mine until it dies or a new shield TV is released but I think it's highly unlikely one is coming.
its still a great device overall
People like to buy cheap stuff, and they end up spending more money than buying the real deal (Nvidia Shield TV).
I have my ShieldTV since 2015 and there is still no competition, anyone can put better hardware in a box and sell it for cheaper, but you will never match the software experience & software support for 10 years.
What's so good about the nividia shield does it stop buffering, can u sideload 3rd party apps, how much ?.
You can sideline 3rd party apps and watch anything
Duh 🙄!!
I am still using the 2015 version and I can honestly say this is by far the best $189 purchase I have ever made. I was waiting to see if shield is going to come out with a new version but I am going to go ahead and buy the 2019 version. I am thinking Nvidia will not release a new version because there are tons of cheaper streaming devices that get the job done for most people's needs, which is simple streaming. The Shield enthusiasts may not be in a big enough number for Nvidia to generate any profit from releasing a new device. So I am going to get the 2019 version before it disappears.
Is the shield decent for GeForce now?
I believe Nvidia is done with these type products by the lack of new OS's well over a year...fortunate this is still one of the best
I hope that there is the new Nintendo switch 2 release news then not long after Nvidia announce a new shield with new processors but Nvidia make the shield devices just to show off there new processors but why would they when Nintendo have already committed to it
It's still the top dog. All of the ones that seem like they can compete, so far, really don't. But feel free to buy some off-brand garbage, that has no future support. They're only $200, and I've been using two of them for a long time. They make any Fire TV device look like a toy.
The problem is the firestick is weak I've had 5 fail in 2 years,
& firestick is restricted
Yep, and absolutely no fail on my old nvidia shield 2015.
Nvidia Shield rules, period, end of discussion. I have the TV and the Pro and they are virtually flawless with their operation. When a hiccup occurs once every blue moon just reboot it and issue resolved. Before I purchased my first Shield I previously was using the Fire Cube 1st and 2nd Gen and both were a dumpster fire with their endless myriad of problems and the 1st Gen lasted eleven months and the 2nd thirteen. I cannot think of any possible upgrade that could make Shield any better than it is. Shield still spanks every other current streaming device soundly and its not even a contest. The only other device that can come close is the Apple TV and even it was soundly drubbed by the Pro. No doubt the Nvidia Shield streamers are expensive, but they are worth every penny of your hard earned cash.
Apple TV+ 4K sets very high standards. No commercials and important video adjustments to get the best out of your system.
On top if itall, Shield customer service always help me in few hours time.
The next shield will be a no brainer.
I hope it will come out soon to replace my 2015 model.
I doubt there's a second gen coming. Nvidia CEO already said they're all in on AI. Along with their GFX cards, I'm afraid Nvidia is done with the Shield.
I just bought it and love it. I cant stand firesticks with all preinstalled apps tgat suck. I use iptv and don't need all the ads and crap. Picture quality is so much better u must admit with shield. I wasn't fond of price. I use android boxes all the time which are cheaper but they do not update at all. I'm not a gamer besides baseball but it's cool that I have an option to play a ton of free games if I'm bored. Anyways love ur content. Just my 2 cents.
It disappoints me to say that I am returning the Nvidia Shield TV Pro which I just purchased. I really wanted to like this over and above my Roku 4K stick but that is sadly just not the case for me. I will state for the record that I am not a gamer so none of those features weigh in as a factor for me. I also most certainly am not trying to demean the Nvidia enthusiasts but just offering my honest opinion.
First the Pros:
1) I primarily purchased because I wanted the stability and speed of the 1Gb ethernet port which I will say works very well overall and the speed difference is certainly very noticeable.
2) User interface is very intuitive and smooth
Cons:
1) I have to agree with this review. I see very little difference with the AI Upscaling vs not using it.
2) The audio quality of the Nvidia is significantly subpar vs that of the Roku 4K stick.
3) Randomly I would not be able to access some apps. I had to uninstall and reinstall a few apps several times in order for them to open.
Like I said....I tried it and I really wanted to like and keep it......I just cannot justify doing so at the $200 price tag. I know many people feel the Roku devices have a stale look and interface but you know what they do have to offer? They simply perform as expected. IF/When the next gen Roku Ultra comes with a 1Gb ethernet port I will be all over that one.
I appreciate hearing the honest recap. I don't see a lot of people in the comments here comparing to 2022 Apple TV 4K, and I'm trying to compare the two. I currently use Roku Ultra and it's totally fine for most things but having ads really turns me off, and it doesn't give you a lot of options or control or feedback over audio/visual status to diagnose what's available vs. what your devices are requesting/displaying. Also a few random crashes and quirks that may be unique to my unit or setup.
@@clavicus It isn't just you. My Roku streaming stick also has random crashes forcing me to disconnect and reconnect. I think I am going to give the Apple TV 4K a try as well and see how that one performs. One thing I will say is that Apple support is generally very responsive so hopefully they can guide me through any setup hiccups. Good Luck to you.
@@joeg.5669 just got my Apple TV 4k (3rd gen with Ethernet version) used for $100 from local Facebook marketplace. I have to say it’s exactly what I wanted. Extremely responsive, great small remote, some Apple integrations I didn’t realize, that I think will be handy. I like that the apps seem to keep their “state” unlike my Roku Ultra that seems to clear apps back to square one if you want to switch between them. looks like it’s a keeper. I may buy another for the living room. I can see how the Shield would be preferable for a tinkerer type of person though. I think I may be getting older and narrowing the scope of things I want to spend time customizing. That said, i spent a couple hours tinkering with every setting I could find. The menus are pretty sensible.
Shield is still good for gaming. For around $80 it's still a decent buy
main critique:
It's old and expensive.
But it's still better than everything else...
Also FOMO-ing into "they might release something new".
Does it do what you want it to do better than other devices? If you want to stream from your nvidia gpu to living room tv, then this is still a great buy.
I'm pretty sure Amazon are sponsoring them, his only criticisms are a new one might come out (like Amazon do every 5minutes with fire devices)
And these not been updates for a while,which basically i dictates it works well so doesn't need updates, surely updates are just an inication a product didn't initially work properly.
I'm off to buy a shield now
Its time nvidia needs a new version that support v9, atoms vision, best 4k playback,
Just picked a Nividia shield Pro for £75 , can't complain at that price , yes second hand but hardly been used .
In the UK they still sell new for around £189 , I was never going to pay that for it , had a multitude of android devices over the years including Minix and the Sheid pro has the best picture quality hands down.
I sold my shield 2 years ago and I'm looking to buy it back as the ccwgtv isn't cutting it. Where did you get it for 75? EBay cex?
@@cabbagehead8815 Facebook selling pages , just got lucky, same time I sold my Minix u22x-j that I'd had for about 4 years for £40 , so really the Shield only cost £35, if you keep your eye out on there you can find the odd bargain 👍
in five years, you'll be saying that this was the best 75 pound purchase you've ever made. I am still using the 2015 Shield TV as my main entertainment system and I am amazed how well it's still running!
I have both the 2017 Shield TV and the Fire TV Cube 3rd gen. Overall, the Shield TV is still superior, but it's time for Nvidia to release a new one. Due to the Android updates, it definitely has lost performance. When it comes to just using streaming apps right now for me, the Fire TV Cube is better. However, for pro users, I don't recommend the Fire TV Cube, especially since it doesn't have USB 3.0, only 2.0. Everyone knows there's really no streaming device today that comes close to the capabilities of the Shield TV. With that being said, that doesn't mean we don't need a new Shield TV. We need one with updated hardware as it's the same hardware from almost a decade ago.
Not true. It still is the best.
I guess were all waiting for a new Sheild device.

The shield itself is great. What ruins it is android updates. The updates kill performance and useability. It is still one of the few devices that run androidtv, not googletv. Just for streaming I say no, walmarts onn box is better for the money. But I use my shield for emulation. It runs everything for NES to Switch like a champ. But so does my Samsung Phone.
It’s not worth it at full price today.
I have a Shield and love it. I think at some point NVidia will come out with a new device. The truth is, if you are not concerned with streaming Netflix in 4K or Live streaming via CZcams TV, there are several devices that crush the shield. Oogos has so much more capacity. If you are clever enough, you can build your own device for under $80 that destroys the Shield.
What is Oogos? Never heard of it before. Can't find it online on any comprehensive search.
