Apple TV 4K vs Nvidia Shield TV Pro - Which one would you choose or have already?
I have a Shield Pro
I own a 2015 Nvidia Shield TV Pro but just ordered the Apple TV 4K 2022. That's the first Apple product I've bought in over 32 years.
I have both. I think Nvidia has the better upscaling, the remote hurts my hand. Actually both remotes are terrible. ATV has the better, cleaner interface - when it works and business apps that I need.

I've been a Shield guy since 2017. Got the latest version last year and am very pleased with it.
My Apple Tv is sitting in it's box on a shelf and my Nvidia Shield Pro is hooked up to my 55 in Samsung TV.
Thank you for your great content have been looking for this comparison recently!
Thank you :)
Thats a quick n on point comparison👏. Thank u sir
Really appreciate your comment as always.
Shield all the way. My main beef with it is that Google now serves "suggested content" (aka ads) at your home screen. Those are often for services you don't even have access to and parents might be concerned that there's no parental controls for those either.
On the other hand, it's Android, meaning there's much you can do with it. I've setup a Linux distro and run a Pi-Hole server on my Shield. In the future I plan to run other stuff there, like a smart home server and my SD-Wan management software. Can't imagine Apple tolerating the idea of me doing what I want with the hardware I bought.
I Like it so much I got a second one, 2019 Pro for Dolby Vision and AI Upscaling (which is surprisingly good, by the way). Now I can finally watch 4K content in the office with the 2017 I had before.
For cinema, ip television, and youtube which unit do you recommend thanks!
Lor of questions, what is your disk drive ? which format do you rip your dvd and blueray for plex and how do you send it to your hard drive connected to the nvidia shield ? Do you know if there is a new nvidia shield coming soon ?
Thanks
Great job on the comparison. I currently use Apple TV Gen 3’s on both TVs. However, I’m intrigued with the Shield Pro but was wondering if they are a reliable live tv streamer. I’ve seen other videos where the Shield has trouble matching lower frame rates. Is this true?
There is a manual framerate chooser but natively it does not do it automatically
I wonder if there is any difference when streaming games from your PC via moonlight. I remember that nvidia once said that SHIELD has lower input lag than other solutions. However this was before the new Apple TV was published. Do you have any tools to measure input lag? Would be nice to see a comparsion.
do you know if the shield pro or newest apple tv 4k is better for streaming games from the pc to the tv with moonlight?
I do like the fact that you can use the tv calibration feature from Apple TV.
Great video! Any idea if this new gen AppleTV fixes the native Atmos decoding from Netflix or other apps? Very frustrating on the last gen product in my reference system. In my secondary system, no Atmos issues and I have the first gen 4K AppleTV there; Atmos streams fine without any issues on that system. Thanks for your help!
Also, I have all my AppleTV’s running through a Marantz AVR or AVP. The one that is used with my Sony A90J has lip sync issues - any experience with this? Thanks!
I had to fine tune my gen2 in the settings with receiver and used a good fiber optic hdmi to get everything synced properly
@@MyGadgetsWorld excellent - can you advise on that process? My Marantz AVR’s and AVP have the lip sync setting but not sure how to optimize it. Thanks!
Hello, nice review. Does the shield pro support HDR + ?
Yes.
I have the Samsung S95B. Between these two which streaming device is more suitable for me that will produce a better streaming picture?
Will the built in Apple app on the TV support 4k 120hz?
Does the Nvidia shield support hdr10+?
Apple Tv is better if you are not gonna run built in plex server.
@@MyGadgetsWorld Thank you for the reply.
Last question - do you know if the Apple TV app on Samsung's Tizen OS has the ability to playback HDR10+ content the same way as the Apple TV 4k 2022 device?
First time listening to your vidoes and your accent is great. Thanks for the video. My Formovie Theater supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. I play a lot of PC games, so the shield is more desirable for gaming, but does not support HDR10+. I am torn between which to buy. I do watch a lot of Prime Video, so I am worried their support for HDR10+ will continue and ill regret not buying the new Apple TV. Any advice? :)
Thanks for your comment. I will suggest Apple TV if you don’t play Bluray Rips and don’t want a Plex Server that is built into the Shield TV Pro. Apple TV has amazing library for Dolby Vision movies and now with HDR10+ support there are many titles which can be played in HDR10+ on Apple TV 4K Gen 3
@@MyGadgetsWorld Thank you for the suggestion! Video quality really is the most important thing to me. I am just worried I will regret not getting the shield for its gaming stuff, but maybe Apple TV can do something similar.
What you recommend for iptv. I currently use smart tv and lot of buffering
Nice review keep up the good work
Thank you Marcus
I'm kind'ah newbie, just recently digitized my Blu-Ray collection, but I am running into the "can't play Dolby Vision AND Dolby Atmos" conundrum. So, question: What device(s)/configuration would allow me to play all my Blu-Ray rips with full Dolby Vison AND Dolby Atmos? Does anyone have an answer, please? Does the NVIDIA Shield Pro do that by itself? My current setup: AppleTV 4K latest generation as of 04/11/23, LG C2 which supports eARC, OLED, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Full-fledged home theater with an AVR and a 5.2.2 setup, Plex server hosts my collection in an iMac Pro (2017). And I CANNOT connect it all via ethernet CAT-6. It all runs via Wi-Fi, but it is pretty fast and reliable. I already have a Sony Blu-Ray player as well. I also have Infuse, which I am trying to wrap my head around "Why would I need both Infuse and Plex, since Plex can do the storing/streaming/playing already"? What does Infuse bring to the table that Plex alone does not? Will I see any benefit from adding the NVIDIA Shield to my setup? Or the Zappiti? Or an Oppo device? Anything else?
Once more for clarity, the main question is: What device(s)/configuration would allow me to play all my Blu-Ray rips with full Dolby Vison AND Dolby Atmos?
Experiences and insights appreciated! Thanks in advance for any responses.
Best, R.
I would like to know from you that you have Shield, AppleTV and WebOS what do you think of the Netflix interface on AppleTV? I find it old, all new additions are missing and it seems stuck in 2016 compared to WebOS. How is Netflix on Shield? Thank you.
The best is on Shield TV. It gets constant updates and plays every thing it offers. Dolby vision , dolby atmos
I’ve had a roku express 4k for over a year and it’s great for what it is. But it’s WiFi only and that cuts out frequently and isn’t very fast despite sitting next to my WiFi 6 router. The video quality is ok, it’s certainly better than the OS on my old TV. The ATV would be a significant upgrade. I’d also go for the wired version for the faster networking.
I currently have the Tablo and I’m enjoying it, however the tv I have has the Apple TV app, I used the free trial and enjoy that service as well.
Will nvidia shield pro play Dolby hdr10+ video files on my ssd when connected through its 2 USB ports?
I'm looking to replace my Fire TV Stick Max (1st Gen) and I also have a Hades Canyon NUC connected to a HDTV. The NUC is used for web browsing, streaming, and has Emby Server loaded on it. Media is stored on a NAS and a DAS, close to a hundred Terabytes of media. It's possible that the Nvidia Shield TV Pro could replace both, but it would need to have the functionality of both. The PC, with connected bluetooth keyboard, is great for browsing, and serves as my Emby server. The Fire TV stick is a good streaming device, has an EMby client app, but is worthless as a web browser. If a wireless keyboard can be connected to the Nvidia device and offer the same web browsing experience as a PC, then this could be the all-in-one I'm looking for. Thoughts on using the Nvidia as a daily driver to replace a PC for web browsing?
Can you explain your setup? Why have the the Marantz and an amp? What is the Furman? I only have a receiver/amp and curious.
I don’t have amplification in Marantz (it is just the processor AV7706), all the power goes from the Monolith 11X amplifier. I have furman to give enough power to my amp and other electronics connected to the same outlet on the wall. Furman has a 45amp reservoir to meet high demand of power.
Mine is 5.1 dolby digital audio system and 4k dolby vision tv. Which one would be best, any suggestions please
I cannot see my setup without an Nvidia Shield. I still have my 2015 500GB model. I just upgraded and got another one (Shield TV Pro 2019) for my S95B. Nvidia has outdone themselves with the Shield. It's just hard to beat it especially with the constant updates.
Shitty updates that everybody keeps complaining about👎
@@edotresnjic3694 I'm not complaining.
Problem I am it’s a great device but too many issues with the shield
@BrendenUnger that's unfortunate. That thing has been flawless for me. Just an absolute beast of a streaming device.
@@kwesiwilliams1188 glad it works for you mine always froze and locked up becoming unusable.
Still have all 3 of my 2015 Shields throughout my house and in my HT. 8 years of reliable service and UPDATES! Best bang for your buck in the long run! Love the video AI and all the variety the Shield has plus all the codecs covered.
“updates” yeh, still on Android 11, 2022 security patches and trash optimisation.
@@riot9179 You don't know how to use it...leave it to us professionals ha ha
I would like to see a diagram how did you connect the sound system and the Nvidia Shield to the tv. Thank you.
Does apple music spatial works in apple tv or is it better to use a Tidal in Shield?
which has better picture and sound quality?
What about the frame match on the shield. Does it also match the frame and dynamic range like the Apple TV does on most popular streaming apps? That it was keeps me with apple despite the lack of audio but i can’t stand to watch native 24hz and be force to 60hz it creates judder or frame skipping issues.
It is there but it is hit of miss when it comes to compatibility with the apps. I have forced my Shield to be at 24hz mostly for movies. But you are right
Can i use a SanDisk Ultra Fit 512GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive in the SHIELD TV Pro 2019 with no any issue's ?
Hi thanks for video I need to know does Nvidia shield tv pro support DTS-HD MA using pass through.
Yes, it does
Great informative video
I need to play MKV files with Dolby Atmos. Which device will play them?
What is this device above the tv and what is its purpose?
DTS HD MA didn't work with you on Apple TV and error appeared because you have to make the subscription for the infuse app on the Apple TV, its working for me but it says PCM on the A/V receiver
I have paid lifetime subscription and it was direct play
You don't have the accent, the other guy does. It's a matter of perspective.
Thanks for the comment sir
If you think it through. Everyone has an accent. 😛
Aa.. I did notice the accent.. But, I think it's OK..
@@ferreirarqexactly 😂 People are stupid not to notice that
Hi i m only looking for best picture and sound quality for movies and ott qpps. I had sony sound bar ht a 3000 with rear speakers rs5 and subwoofer sw5. Also my tv is sony x80l which supports dollby Atmos dts x and all latest. So my question is which is the best apple 4 k+ or nividia shield tv Pro?
Do you notice higher quality video/audio for streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+ on ATV 4K compared to Shield Pro?
Shield Pro looks better to me with AI upscaling option it has. Otherwise streaming is more dependent on the good connection to the internet
@@MyGadgetsWorld Thanks for the reply. I have read online that Apple optimizes the streaming apps on ATV 4K to deliver content with higher bandwidth.
Apple does upscale but not where near what the shield can do . I mean holly what a difference
Hi can you compare picture quality and frame rates between both devices on amazon and netflix
Sure. I am working on testing the fps and the bandwidth utilization
@@MyGadgetsWorld would love that
I have the apple tv 4k, firestick 4k and roku ultra...I like them All.. each has a certain feel and benefit... the firestick , in my case, is rooted and ultra customizable in ways that the apple and roku cant even begin to imagine... the roku uses linux and is just a nice feeling device for what it is... the apple, feels like a Lexus though by comparison to either but its locked down and it just is what it is..
Could you do a review of the Nvidia Sheild TV Pro? Thanks
Indeed. Will do full review and how to setup Plex server on it
I have 3 Nvidia Shields. 2 2017's and a 2019 Pro. All three work great.
Amazing
Hi mike what streaming device is perfect forQ90a just for netflix disney plus & prime, because i got a good deal at costco$700 65 inchQ90a is a nice tv but the menu interface kind of laggy sometimes unlike webos and google tv. if i choose apple tv do i need to pay on apple monthly service besides my netflix disney subscription? thanks in advance.
Best streaming device is ShieldTV pro. But if you have apple ecosystem then staying in that ecosystem is very good and easy. I personally use ShieldTV Pro for everything
@@MyGadgetsWorld Thanks the only apple i have is my phone and i just purchased my Apple tv gen 3 my very first streaming device , thank u more power.
Yes you will need at least the Apple TV+ subscription. However, if you have an iPhone or iPad, you will get more for your money if you get a combined subscription: one with extra storage (as the 5Gb default is a joke as it won't even back up a reasonably full iOS device) and then maybe Apple Music and TV+. Also, the combined subscription allows you to share it with 5 other family members / friends, who can help you share the cost.
Nothing wrong with your accent your crystal clear,ignore haters my friend,your doing a great job
Thanks sir. Appreciate it
i have both but i prefert the navida shield as there is audio passthrough
Can we play BLU-RAY ripped movie which has more than 60GB from HDD with NVIDIA SHIELD without any lag or screen blur?
What program
Do you use to RIP yr movies
Hey bro can you plz tell me the exact setting for nvidia shield setting for atmos sound. I’m getting only multi channel or stereo only. I tried mutli options but no use..
It would be good to know how the steam link app performs on these two devices as a comparison
That’s great. Mostly steam relies on good internet quality
The main reason I use Apple TV is spatial audio on Airpods Max/Pro 2. Sometimes you cannot use your home theater specially during night. The experience with airpods dolby Atoms is unique to Apple.
Then Apple TV is for you. It all comes down to what your needs are. Both are amazing streaming devices
Since when airpods max support dolby atmos ? Not even listed in dolby site as certified so its not supported .
@@hemanth593 think he means spatial audio
@@Anon1370 yeah but still atmos / DTS X is miles ahead of spatial audio of airpods max . Hardware is same as iphone 13 but pricing/performance doesn't make any sense to me . Tegra x is able to have plex server while apple TV who has the best hardware in the market is not able to give that to us .
@@hemanth593 yeah that’s a bit frustrating. Apple has such capable chips in all of their devices now, but they’re not utilized in most of them - especially in the iPads, which could do so much more with a proper feature set OS
I'm looking at getting the ATV cos of its calibration feature and ability to use Airpods with ATV and the cool remote.
That’s great.
I'm using a steam deck with USB hub. Seems to have all the scaling improvements that come with whatever tech made it to RDNA2. 4k60 runs fine.
Does it have audio passthrough? Only reason I am thinking of get this Shield Pro and ditching Apple TV. I already own a Steam Deck so it be awesome if it can direct play 4K HDR DV and passthrough too.
My Samsung QN90B tv does not play DTS codec from movies that i olay from usb hard drive. Then 2nd thing: Tidal app on Samsung tv is a disaster because it is buffering nonstop and it hardly plays music. Also Tidal app on Samsung tv does not support Dolby Atmos files. Can you tell me if Nvidia shield is playing dolby atmos music on Tidal app?
hi , do you have an idea about free app called nova media player and it's quality of picture and sound ?
Love the accent bro!!!! ONE LOVE ✌️
Thank you!
Apple will never compare as long as it fails to do passthrough for DTS, Atmos trueHD etc... infuse is only going to help so much. PASSTHROUGH APPLE!!!!!!
I have 2 usages - Movies (Dolby vision, DTS HD MA/DD TrueHD ... from PC or External HDD) and Music (Masters from Tidal). Where I live I can't get nvidia shield pro ... And it turns out Apple TV wont work for me ... that's a bummer :( For a person knowing all the codecs and stuff your short comparison actually tells me everything - probably the best out there!
Nice Bowers and wilkins 702 s2's and 705's! I have the same setup! the 702 s3's were just released!
Thank you. Yes S2 prices just went down since S3 launched. Bets time to buy S2
Can you use Zwift on the shield?

Hi, I ended up getting apple tv last month or so, nvidia shield pro causing me problems as of late, netflix preview a title just black screens, but its not with all title preview it causes black screen, havn't noticed it in disney or amazon prime with the shield pro.
The apple app is weird on android os as it has no store option, i like to rent from apple tv store so it kind of forced me to buy an apple tv.
i do like the apple tv so far the latest model but when u need the shield u need the shield!
I use a WD mycloudex2 ultra 8tb mirrored hard drive with the plex server built in. I then use the plex app on my Apple TV as well as my phone and iPad.
That accent comment got me that was an amazing way to address it.🤣🤣
Sound wise which is better(dolby atmos)
If apple tv use a15 without any cut core or downclock, then is really worth to buy that one, is perfom minimum 3x than nvidia shield soc, you can use moonlight stream pc game localy and the quality so perfect can do 120 fps if use ethernet
Got both the apple tv 4k is way smoother but your cant get certain apps on it
Shield TV Pro for people with real surround sound systems that can playback TrueHD Atmos, DTS:X, DTS-HD and a PLEX Server. AppleTV for better UI, Atmos Music, Streaming services (HBO Max, Hulu, Disney+, Netflix, etc).
Indeed. Thanks for the comments
What model LG TV is shown on the white desk at 2:41? @MyGadgetsWorld it looks like a CX or C1.
I have the Shield 2017,2019 and just got myself Apple TV 4k 3rd gen. My summary
- The shield is 99% perfect but it has one issue - The lack of proper 24p playback support.The 2019 version has a framerate match feature but is serioulsy broken. This is not nessecerily Shield's doing but more the way the apps are written for Shield. The lack of 24p will cause image judder due to 3:2 pulldown( just google on this) which is very distracting especially on bigger screees and PJs.. On the other hand, Apple TV 4k matches framerate perfectly on every single one of the major streaming platfroms. The problem I have with Apple TV is that it does not output bitstream but locally decoded LPCM in Dolby MAT format. This is again fine for most streaming platform as it'll correctly pickup Atmos, but DTS - nope.
I just got a shield but for IP television, cinema and UA-cam, is Nvidia the best for that or apple tv?
@@user-uo9sl2br6e Shield is built for IPTV! I believe Apple TV is better for apps like paramount prime video and Netflix! I think UA-cam looks better on the Apple 4k. Shield is better for IPTV and Kodi

Good video. Your accent is fine, stay strong.
Thank you so much for the detailed comparison and explanation.. this is exactly what I was looking for ... Independent Plex server using USB and watching TrueHD 7.1 atmos is my requirement.. and good to know that apple TV supports only the compressed atmos audio.
Shield all day. Great PLEX media sever and one of the best emulation gaming set ups 👍
love your accent :-), and a great comparison… thanks
Can you not use PLEX App on Apple TV via a Synology server?
Yes
nothing wrong with your acent. your clear and i can understand you. i do hate it when i cant understand a video which hapens way too much but again you fine.
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for this review. I seem to want both devices since. I have a oled Sony Bravia 1st gen tv which has an amazing picture this is a old version which won’t play Apple TV.

a page to download blu ray discs, please?
Is Apple TV better than a PS 5 when it comes to streaming?
Good to know Apple TV doesn't support DTS-X. That alone will steer us towards the Shield. Even our Chrome Cast TV 4k does that for my PLEX movies....
Is that really true that DTS-X not supported ? Shame on Apple for restricting that to users after paying very high for device. God must know whats going on with Apple. neither Plex nor AI upscale works with them .
It’s worth mention that if you have an LG tv they do not support dts codecs not even for pass through. So unless you’re using a receiver then dts is pointless.
Plex on Apple TV has horrible audio sync issues, I’m switching to nvidia shield because of it
Just hope Nvidia releases a new shield soon.
I don't think they need to. The hardware is still great and the release software updates all the time.
@@kingcrimson234 Oh agreed, their hardware and software support is first class. Just think it would be a bit of a money spinner for Nvidia. HDMI 2.1, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, faster chipset, new AI features....they'd sell a ton!
Noob here. What do you mean by "gaming" in the context of a Nvidia Shield vs Apple TV video? What kind of games do you mean?
I haven't been a gamer since Xbox 360, and a single Roku stick has been my media setup for 10 years. So, I'm a bit behind now lol.

Apple 4k is faster and more responsive but yet like every other Apple device lacks customization and the lack of some audio codecs. And just wait until the next gen Apple 4k with a A15 bionic chip that totally destroys the tegra+ in benchmarks
A12 is already destroying the Tegra plus
@@cia4gent128 thats a fact
The average person doesn't care about benchmarks. They do care about how fast can they get to Netflix.

@@TheBman3rd lol Apple TV is way faster and smoother
No doubt about that. It is most stable device ever! Ans simple to use
As to your comment why get an ATV? If you are heavily invested in the iTunes Eco System you HAVE to have one. I have over 2,000 movies on iTunes. For awhile Apple provided free 4k/HDR upgrades, I got over 400 of my HD movies upgraded for free. That paod for the Atv, several times over.
The Apple TV apps on other devices DO NOT have the special features with their movies - which is utter BS. For example LOTR and Star Wars have Hours upon hours of extras on Atv, but on my Nvidia Shield or TV aTV App, zero Extras.
Now the way around that issue is to use Movies Anywhere as the movies there include the extras. The problem with this though is it doesn’t have all the movies I own and a lot of times it won’t include the free 4k/HDR upgrade. It’s just scummy that Apple doesn’t include them on their OWN apps.
Thanks for sharing that Michelle. I alao have sometimes that Issue as I carry a huge collection to myself but not 2000, that is really impressive
@@MyGadgetsWorld Yep. I used to get free Blu-rays back in the day so I have a lot from that and with digital codes redeemed those and then I kneejerk buy a lot of movies during the $4.99 sales. It all adds up though, when I think about it. That's a lot of money spent - even not counting for the thousands of movies I got for free. Based on forum comments, this seems to be a common issue if you have a large library - like over 1,000.
