## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Probably the best 4K TV device for the money! - It's incredibly fast and the interface is always instantly responsive. It has support for everything I use, Netflix, desertcart Instant Video, ITV, BBC, YouTube as well as the added bonus of Chromecast so you can stream videos from your computer/laptop/phone via Chrome to the Shield in an instant top! It's also technically Android TV so it includes the Play Store app where you can install various other games and apps that you cna out on most phones, there are some that don't support the shield though. I purchased the Shield with only the remote and I use an Xbox One wireless controller with it for GeForce Now, Gamestream and Android games. I've had zero issues with the Xbox controller and the Nvidia Shield remote is also brilliant however the touch sensitive volume control is pretty awful. It's not so bad if you're just controlling the volume of the shield but after configuring it to control my LG sound bar volume it's really unresponsive, two simple up and down buttons would be much better. You also often raise or lower the volume by accident by simply handling the remote. At the time of writing this review the shield also includes the GeForce Now free beta which I understand will later become a paid subscription. This allows you to play supported PC titles you own on Epic, Uplay and Steam on the Shield but actually streamed to the Shield from a dedicated system maintained by Nvidia. This allows you to play games like the Resident Evil 2 remake, The Division 2 and other recently released AAA titles in 4K resolution at frame rates well above what the latest PS4 and Xbox 4K consoles are capable of due to the fact GeForce Now is powered by the latest Nvidia hardware. The only negative about GeForce Now is the input delay but a solid high speed Internet connection helps to greatly reduce this although it's still noticeable, more so in games that require precision and speed, such as multiplayer shooters. I also use the Nvidia Gamestream feature to stream games over my local network from my desktop PC housing an Intel i9 9900K and a 2080 Ti. There are downsides, such as being limited to the resolution of the monitor connected to your desktop PC, in my case its not 4K. Input lag is hardly noticeable in comparison to GeForce Now because you're only streaming from your local network. My desktop PC obviously offers better performance than GeForce Now so I'm able to sit downstairs playing F1 2018 on my Xbox controller in 1080p with over 300 fps. The future of Gamestream is a little uncertain as various forums and communities are under the impression Nvidia are throwing their everything into GeForce Now. All in all, the Shield is brilliant. It's a wicked TV box, a great gaming solution and even more so if you're strictly a PC gamer. If you go the console route you have repurchase games you already own in PC and with the Shield you don't. Sorry for the long review but I must add thst in my opinion devices like the Shield are the future of affordable small factor gaming. At the time of writing the PS5 was just recently announced and lists a 3rd generation Ryzen with an AMD graphics solution capable of 8K gaming and this is rumoured to release in 2020. The only affordable GPU capable of truly playable 4K gaming at good graphics settings right now is the 2080 Ti and they retail at £1000+. Theyre also unlikely to drop in price in the next 6-12 months and AMDs new 7nm process has resulted in rumours of cards equivalent to the 1080 Ti/2080. Unless the PS5/Xbox next gen is going to be retailing at over £1000 its still going to struggle with 4K at 60 fps, especially with stuff like Ray tracing. This makes the Shield and devices like it much more affordable in the future because it costs a fraction of the price and has the power of £3-4K of hardware streaming games directly to it.
Review: Multimedia Magic! Reccomend - Multimedia Magic- At first when I was looking into buying an android tv box and I came across the Shield TV I was very much put off by the price thinking how can an android based system cost so much more then other android boxs. Well after purchasing the unit I know can see why. Games- The system is a powerhouse for games and offers you so many ways to play, you can download lots of games of off the android store there is a pretty nice offering, there are quite a few multiplayer/splitscreen games you can play on the couch with friends or play online with other players but the on the couch games are fairly limited but what is there isn't bad. The system has no problem running any of the games I downloaded they all work great. Unfortunately the games have to be supported by android tv to work so you can't play any Android game but there are more and more supported all the time. You can also use Nvidia's GeForce Now service, it actually works really well, better then any other game streaming service I have used infact. There are quite alot of games to choose form and you can also even try a free trail that lets you play quite a few games. Its really strange but amazing playing very high end games on a small tiny box with good audio and video quality and no lag. I would recommend doing this on an Ethernet connection most people have issues when doing this over wifi. There are yet even more ways you can play games such as gamestream which essentially streams your pc screen to your telly if its on the same network. So for example you can stream most of your Steam Games to your pc, even better alot of the games have controller support which works perfectly with the Nvidia controller, so for example I downloaded resident evil 6 and played splitscreen with my girlfriend with two controllers it was alot of fun. Of course you can also put emulators and custom apps on the Nvidia which opens up a whole new world of games and apps. Video- The shield comes with many video apps such as Netflix, desertcart prime video, Youtube and more there is no shortage of apps to stream movies. This is an area that the shield has no problems with. I don't really need to go into this part in too much detail there are a ton of services they all run well I don't think you will have any disappointment in this department. Software & Updates- So Nvidia run there own modified version of android tv which generally works really well and is easy to navigate, you also get regular updates even now in late 2017 we got a big update which added the google assistant so you know this device will have some longevity. The controllers also receive firmware updates which is a really nice touch. They are intuitive and connect very easily to the shield even going to sleep to save battery life. Charging them up is easy, however you can't charge the remote if you get the cheaper model set it supposedly does last a very long time though. The operating system runs very smoothly does not hang or cause any real issues worth noting it has been a pretty smooth experience for me. My only complaint is It would be nice to have some more indepth search features for the android app store and also more apps needed to be supported on Android TV this is alittle bit of a problem but not enough to ruin the experience for me. Hardware- As I said earlier the system is a powerhouse and handles pretty much whatever you through at it, both controllers fell really nice and work well. paring them up is very easy and only has to be done once. the unit itself is very small does not make any noise and stays pretty cool. I bought myself a 1TB harddrive and added it onto the unit, the system formats and adds it for you which is nice and its pretty simple really I know have an extra TB of storage for games and movies. You can also connect a whole range of controllers to the shield that work like USB xbox controller or Ipega bluetooth controller. I would recommend this system to most people, if you are a hardcore gamer this might fall alittle short of your expectation from slight lack of support from some game developers but for most I think it will be fine. However this can change as more games are being added often aswell as new apps. Happy gaming :-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference from the last shield**
A: There is a review on Androidpolice that seems to cover off most of the changes. The unit is a lot smaller, with an amended controller and it now includes the normal remote. It has lost the SD card slot but they say you can use a USB flash as additional internal storage.

**Q: can kodi be installed on this device**
A: Kodi 17.6 can be installed and when 18 finally gets released it will automatically update ( So If u don't want it to update turn off in the settings )

**Q: Can i use a logitech wifi keyboard with this device**
A: Yes, exactly what I use works perfectly

**Q: Why does the price keep fluctuating over the course of last 2 weeks, there have 4 changes in 2 weeks.**
A: That's how everyone on Amazon works. It's all to do with how popular it is at any given day. If someone buys it that will often raise the price a bit, and then when demand drops, it will drop in price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***A on 22 April 2017*

Beste Anschaffung die ich dieses Jahr gemacht habe. Alleine die multimedialen Fähigkeiten der Box sind schon der Hammer, aber mitsamt der GeForce now Mitgliedschaft ist dieses kleine aber ansehnliche Gerät nicht zu schlagen. Hier nun ein paar grundlegende Sachen die mir aufgefallen sind zuerst die negativen Im GeForce now streaming Dienst gibt es nur wenige online Multiplayer spiele. Das ist aufgrund der gamestream Technologie leider nicht möglich zur Zeit Nvidia arbeitet aber.mot Hochdruck mit einigen Spieleherstellern zusammen um dieses zu ändern. Bisher noch kein Google Assistent. Der beworbene Google Assistent ist bisher noch nicht an Board und wird wohl erst in einem der nächsten Updates dieses Jahr eingespielt. Natürlich gibt es nun schon eine rudimentäre Sprachsteuerung diese ist jedoch noch nicht fähig zur Steuerung von externen Geräten wie Licht usw. Da dieses Feature aber angekündigt ist und noch kommt bin ich gespannt aufs Update. Spiele im gamestream übertragen nicht in Dolby Digital und auch der 3d Modus ist nicht verfügbar. Habe mich noch nicht schlaugemacht wieso das so ist wäre für aber durchaus noch nen Punkt der Verbesserungswürdig​ ist. Nun zum Positiven. Alles aber auch wirklich alles ist rasend schnell. Menüführung abspielen von Filmen aus Stream oder Festplatten sowohl in KODi oder anderen Mediaplayern.dolby digital passthrough Funktioniert einfach. Netflix Amazon WWE Network NFL/NBA/mlb gamepass pro sieben sat 1 media sowie viele andere streaming Portale haben offizielle Apps im store und funktionieren tadellos und sind zumeist auch in 4k moeglich. Was.mich wirklich positiv überrascht hat war jedoch das gamestream prdukt.Ich hatte nie erwartet dass das zocken mich Mal wieder begeistern koenne, aber der GeForce now dienst für knappe zehn euro im Monat bietet massenhaft spiele und eben auch einige Blockbuster die per flat sozusagen auf die shield gestreamt werden können. Noch neuere oder besondere spiele wie mad Max oder no man's sky können im now shop Gegen Gebühr gekauft werden und sind auch direkt streambar zusätzlich erhält man nen Steam Key für den Download auf den PC. Dies alles verlief sehr leicht und lies sich quasi.mit zwei drei Klicks bewerkstelligen Voraussetzungen dafür sind nen Steam Account sowie nen Nvidia Account und eine Kreditkarte. Was mich jedoch extrem überrascht hat ist die Tatsache dass ich nicht nur den mitgelieferten tollen Nvidia Controller mit der Konsole nutzen kann sondern über Bluetooth auch ps4 controller oder Xbox one bzw mit USB xbox360 controller nutzen könnte, völligst ohne grosse Konfiguration oder anderes es funktioniert einfach. Die Spielauswahl ist auch gut für jemanden der gelegentlich Mal zovkt sogar viel zu viel ich hab immernoch nicht alle guten spiele gespielt und hab die Konsole nun seit Anfang des Jahres. Die Bildqualität ist bei Vodafone Kabel mit hundert Mbit durchgehend flüssig und gut. Selbst bei 4k 60fps. Für Bastler vllt auch interessant ist die Möglichkeit dass man im Netz mit der App liquidsky oder remotr und andere ähnliche Dienste sich selbst nen Cloud Server mieten kann und diesen dann mit Steam ausstattet und sein persönlichen gamestream Server einrichten kann mit allen Spielen die man so gekauft hat unabhängig vom GeForce now Angebot. So habe ich WWE 2017 auf meiner shield zu laufen bekommen dies alles natürlich mit höchsten settings und allem drum und dran. Etwaige Tutorials findet man im Netz Recht flink und machen einen deutlichen merhwert klar da man sich keinen teuren PC alle 12 Monate anschaffen muss ich habe durchgerechnet dass man einen monatlichen Betrag von 120 euro für einenhalb Jahre zahlen kann und damit immernoch unter den Upgradekosten eines gamingpcs ist. Ich sehe das eindeutig als die Zukunft für alle.konsolen und die shield ist hier Vorreiter. Ich hoffe ich konnte ein paar Fragen vorweg nehmen und einige Nutzungs Erfahrungen helfen dem ein oder anderen ich für meinen Teil bin sehr zufrieden und froh Mal etwas mehr ausgegeben zu haben und dafür ein rundes Paket bekommen zu haben welches meine Bedürfnisse vollkommen abdeckt.
