lmao at 2:20 my google activated as well and when u reacted to your own i was like “is he breaking the 4th wall here lmao”
lmao
I love mine as well mine just upgraded from android to google tv it looks great now. Thanks for the video
Don't throw away that box. The serial numbers are on the box...not on the unit. Genius design people.
Thank u
I should have mentioned that. Thank you
BS.
Thanks a lot
Actually it's also in the system info, but of course if something happened where you can't access the device then yes you would need the box.
I'm getting mine this afternoon. I've been looking at media server solutions and this seems to be the way to go. By all accounts it just works (if your files are named correctly) and for $200 it's way more cost effective than a laptop. Looking forward to it.
Def the best. I have both the Shield Pro (living room) and the original (family room).
Just picked up one yesterday, enjoying the little beast.
Great to hear man! Thank you for watching the vid!
Great review thanks 🙏🙏
Nice think I'll get one now, good review
Thank you I appreciate it my friend!
In 2021 this is still the best streaming device on the market
I was just drooling over it in the store. I think I'm gonna get it and give the cable company a call
@@blitheringrando1410 spend the extra money it's worth it, i have one and no issues to complain about! great device
@@ANTHONY-rp3ud oh yeah I did get it btw. It's worth it just to watch tubi on, holy shit the amount of free content on that. Btw, I'm not a big anime buff at all, but I was amazed how much of that was on there for example.
Anyway, the shield was easy to set up and easy to operate. I'm gonna try my hand at ordering some pay services soon and see how that all plays out but so far no complaints.
@@blitheringrando1410 here's a bit of a Nvidia Shield pro tip. If you unable to developer options by clicking on it like eight times or whatever it will tell you developer options are enabled. Do not change anything under developer options unless you know what you are doing but if you look carefully in there you will find a couple of options like window animation scale, animation duration scale, and a third one I believe that I forget the name of. They should be set to x1 by default but if you change them to x0.5 it will make the interface and the window transitions when opening and closing apps twice as fast. You can also set it to zero but things look a little bad and it's too fast if you set it to zero in my opinion so set it at 0.5 speed so everything still looks nice. It's a nice little easy to do way to improve performance on any Android device. This tip also works for any Android phone or tablet.
And the opposite is true if you increase that animation duration. If you increase it everything will be real slow and you can see the effect that has but if you set it to 0.5 speed it's a nice little free performance boost.
@@TorrentFiend10 thanks for the tips! Yeah, I got the pro version. Been happy with it so far, i'll try your recommendations out later though!
I ordered it from online 2 days ago, now it arrived my hand and I'll setup tomorrow, a little bit excited. 😊
Youll love it!
That's amazing to hear. How are you enjoying it??
Great video, thinking of adding this to my ne VAVA projector....
You should that would be sick.
I'm loving my Nvidia shield tv pro.
why ?
You will love it till you get random rebooting issues.
Is this better then the superbox 3? Does it have access to the blue tv apps and blue vod? Ppv channels?
Can you use a wireless mouse / keyboard on this device ? Through Bluetooth or usb toggle ?
Look awesome 😃
has the chic part also a web browser that is combinable with the remote control ?
What do you think now of the AI upscaling?
Nice video so far - just only one thing. Is it possible to use a nvidia shield pro WITHOUT a Google account?
On Smartphones that is possible easely but on Tv Boxes?
Fanttastic
What's the current software version for it? It said on the website version 8.2.2 which has a December 2020 security patch..😑 and I just ordered one
I have been running a Popcorn Hour for over 10 years now to play my movie library from my server over ethernet. I have a smart TV and not all that interested in streaming all that much (mainly Netflix and UA-cam) but not much else. Really looking for something that will output in 4K but act much the same for playing my own collection of music and movies. Any suggestions?
Mine was a brick out of the box. Waiting on a replacement from Amazon. This is actually the first time I've received a totally dead piece of equipment in many years. Hope it's not indicative of what I can expect from the Shield going forward (once the replacement arrives.)
I have all 3 years that were made. All are great devices STILL
Hi I have a firestick and am unable to use an ntfs hard drive so all videos are limited to 4gb. Do you know if you can use an NTFS formatted hard drive with the shield
@@jimjamyaya4309 search the shield forums but i wouldnt give up on the fs especially the 4k one as price to performance it's better than the shield. even if the shield has 2x the peformance it's still 3x the amount of the 4k fs
I connected a Kingston disk on key then I formatted it and it took a lot of time and still not finished I removed it from the streamer during the formatting and still a message appeared that he formatted then I removed the streamer from the power and everything is fine now it is not terrible I removed the power while the streamer was running?
Is the Moga xp5-x+ controller compatible with this?
I wanted to buy, but im not sure about it because I hear there are many ads and commertials and that it is impossible to block them. Raspberry Pi 4 model B is pretty fast and that thing can block all ads on the go. It can boot in to many different operating systems and there is also a raspberry smart tv OS and different retro console emulation OS. It can stream games, but for streaming games im sure Shield Pro will outbeat Raspberry in every spec.
I just got a song a80j OLED. Do you think I'll get better picture streaming with this instead of right from the tv apps?
Short answer: No. If you enjoy the UI of the smart TV and it's responsive-enough then I see no need to update. Those Sony TVs have a fantastic upscaler built in.
HOWEVER - After about 4 years my WEBos on my LG OLED, she has slowed down to the point where an external device was need.
4 years from now I assure there will be an even better Shield 2 or 3. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching man much appreciated.
The big difference between the pro and regular versions is that the pro can be used as a Plex server and the regular cannot, Also for the love of God can they put a mute button on the remote?
pro is 64 bit also compared to 32 non plus extra gig of ram and usb for storage compared to microsd in non
Pressing both volume buttons at the same time toggles the mute.
what version of android does it have im sure its not 11
Erratum : the base model does also come with the Tegra X1+ processor ;-).
Hello please I need a information... the input adapter is dual voltage?? I mean 120 and 240volts??
No, read the charger
Yes you can definitely do a lot with this awesome device. Way better than the Google ultra 4K. 😎😎😎👍🏼👍🏼
Definitely bro! Its slaps
@@MistahMOB Yep.
I’m a bit of a newbie - but what does it actually do? I assume that all the streaming services apps in it I still have to login and pay?
All good welcome to the mob! You are correct my friend. It is a small media streaming device but is made by a very technological and reputable company. It has many many apps to stream. Most have trials. You can setup "plex" if you are a bit tech savvy which is local network video player. It has many many features and I believe its work a try. If you dont like it, return it. UA-cam is obviously free. Nvidia account is required but free. Its a solid product. Oh and you can stream your PC library to it which is killer. Thanks for watching bud!
The original shield tv from 2015 is still the best in my eyes due to more storage options, micro sd slot plus 500gb - albeit mechanical - hard drive. I swapped the latter out for a 4TB ssd so that everything is internal. The storage onthe more recent shield allows for less apps and the memory fills up with too many preview vids of using due to the paltry 16 gig storage.
The only complain for me, with my soundbar the sound is getting always crazy and I am tired trying to fix it, any idea about how get working the Vizio M_Series Soundbar?
always crazy isnt very descriptive i know vizio soundbar's shutdown if you have multiple devices working with CEC
Next Gen Console.
Add a large hard drive and you have a Nvidia branded sort of Xbox, but this is opposite in terms of coming from and leaning their product heavily among video entertainment whilst starting to create some gaming, but not much. The Xbox comes from a gaming only background and is now becoming more of an entertainment device (something Sony and their fans like to pick on when it comes time for sales), though Microsoft still tries their best to show they haven’t given up on the gaming community.
I actually think they might be loving this current gaming community and it’s size and popularity.
I do also think that a machine like the Nvidia Shield and an Xbox continue to come together, I really can’t wait to see what machine gets designed once all the ideas finally clash into each other…
That has to be the future of gaming/entertainment type of consoles. Maybe one day we won’t even need a console and everything will be available via the cloud and you can still back up anything by downloading the file (not how it is, how it should be) which shouldn’t be too difficult.
Like, maybe something like the Shield by Nvidia will become the NextGen console.
This streaming device, which allows some gaming with actual gaming pads/controllers to be connected almost seems like a message being sent to their competition as well as their current partners that they’re continuing to move on and move up.
They intend to build back, build back better.
They’re showing off new capability and hopefully have some plan in store to maybe push Microsoft and Sony.
I also love software updates so cool to see what's new
for hardcore users get a shield for softcore get a 4k FS no point in spending 3x the $money if your not going to use the shield's features
That's true but I switched to the shield from fire stick and cube and it just works so much better for iptv
Great Success, I like 👍 subsequent movie film. Don't forget GeForce now
Anyone in here who knows when the Sheild pro 2021 get Android 10 ?
can you install kodi on it?
I’m new to these android boxes does this one have tv and movies, and ppvs?
Correct, it's great, it's pricey but you get what you pay for. Alternatives might be the cheaper Chromecast Google TV as that's $50 but you would have to Google which streaming services would work for you. (No native Twitch.TV app - gaming - so i stream it from my phone to the Google TV. Works great. Amazon has some decent streaming boxes as well.
It has the advantage of running at fast is internet speeds over_350 mbs. Where 8K is no problem.
È possibile trovare il video in lingua italiana?
I like to said that i try the nvidia but is not working for me because the storages is to low I can’t download anything else also don’t support google Crome and regular google and is not internet browser all
don't have controller?
NVIDIA could have thrown in the stand 🤷♂️
Thanks for the great video. Can I connect an external hard drive and playback mkv 4K HDR movies with full Dolby Atmos support? Simple as plug and play?
Should be plug and play!
yes. works with external hdd and ssd and plays just about all video formats. i personally use an ssd. its has a faster read and right then an hdd. plus i edit 4k videos on the sheild pro and an ssd preforms better for 4k editing then an hdd
@@soulfreegamingSFG just bought one and it won't let me play files from external hard drive . Prompts me to use it as a storage device. Do I need to use Plex app or something?
@@MistahMOB i wish it was that simple, but no such luck.
@@Mlock76 that is strange, maybe im missing something but for me i dont use plex and never used it. i use a 4tb external hdd as a removable plug and play movie media device. maybe it has something to do with the hdd format? i have my external hdd set to FAT32 and plug it in to the 2nd usb port on the back of my nvidia shield and in the 1st usb slot i have my systems actual adopted external storage. maybe the shield dont read my plug and play hdd as an extended storage because i already have an external ssd in usb slot 1?
sorry i answered your question with a question but now im curious as to what im doing different then you. i want to play around with my sheild to find out why, but i cant as im not at home at the moment.
Any idea about newer version of nvidia sheild tv pro as it's 2 years old
No word or recent rumors. I'd day its say to still buy in September 2021. And again; if you second guess yourself or more news comes out, you can always return it.
Can i use a SanDisk Ultra Fit 512GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive in the SHIELD TV Pro 2019 with no any issue's ?
Yes
If only Google didn't do the update that puts on all those stupid advertisements on the home screen. Thank goodness there are ways around it.
I own 3 and they are awesome
Can you play pubg or any other games on it? It has 16 gb memory how you manage it?
@@MandeepSingh-hn4jd Add a thumb drive or a external hard drive to it.
How do u get sound in mic when playing games on shield?thanks
I LUV my Nvidia Shield PRO but the only thing is I wish it came with 32GB storage and one more HDMI. especially for the price. This is due in so many stream apps out there to download.
Great review. But can I deactivate or remove Alex and Google assistant?
Go to Nvidia Accessories, click the controller, choose: Don't listen to "Ok Google prompt". Short fix. Ultimately no complete deactivate. You bought a Google device.. its to be expected they want a tiny bit of info to formulate recommendations for you but I do understand peoples privacy priority. Hope that helps my friend. Thanks for your time and checking out the video!
I have the 2017 model and 2019 model live it
If you are considering the VCS for some reason, save yourself a hundred bucks or 2 and just get the Shield Pro.
2019 model, supposed 2 year cycle
Where’s 2021: 8K, HDMI 2.1, nextgen CPU, google TV
@@streamingjunkie4397 i think fixing thing's rather than uping spec's on a streaming/soft core gaming device should be their focus. where streaming content can run on 10 year old boxes and the same with games
I want know what wire do I use for this nvidia shield pro. For wifi in the back of the box
ethernet to router/modem in wan port
Cat5 or Cat6 ethernet, whatever you have around.
Imo, the best streaming device on the market. I have 2
How is this better than Firestick 4K please? I’m debating getting the Firestick MAX or this for iptv. Cheers.
Its faster and u can do more stuff with the shield. I have a 4k fire stick and shield I just use the fire stick to work Xfinity streams tv
I have 4k max kodi shuts down on this one m unsure if its doing same on Nividia or is it any better
No. They have common issues with random rebooting which is down to power supply.
Nice video 👍🏼
Does this perform well with Kodi, exodus
If course! This machine is the Best of the best, continue apple tv with his awsome layout!!
Hello, my LG tv (2020) does not have eARC but only ARC.... It is LG type 71006lb. I want a new soundbar HWX950A Samsung with Dolby Atmos... But the new LG tv does not support dolby atmos... Can a Nvidia shield or pro help me so i can receive dolby atmos on my new tv (2020)? Thanks
yes if you connect the shield directly to the soundbar's HDMI-in port you will get atmos. in that setup it doesn't matter if the tv supports atmos as the only thing going from soundbar to tv is the video
@@nickrumpf309 Thank you Nick...i have Netflix Premium now and... Logo dolby atmos is on screen, only with Netflix N movies, so ok.... However i do not hear dolby atmos with any movie? Also there is no dolby vision logo in Netflix, only dolby atmos? Is this normal?
my dad is working with nvidia on making the next generation of this
Details ? 👀 Dm me
Don't You know approximate release dates? This year at least?
@@8000860 not yet, he submitted a plan and is waiting for a response
Does it have any expandable storage as well like SD card
Expandable storage via USB only (SSDs, HHDs, Flash Drives etc etc. NO usb-c)
@@MistahMOB thank you
is this better than the newest chromecast with tv or chromecast ultra??
I own the Google TV, Chromecast Ultra with Stadia and the Nvidia Shield Pro. They are all great but have different functions.
If you're more of a PC gamer and want the fastest interface with the best upscaling, the Nvidia Shield.
If you're pretty casual and just want a nice UI and interface, sometimes cast your device to it, then I would suggest the much cheaper Google TV.
*chromecast has no interface or remote.
@@MistahMOB chromecast with google tv has remote control. Can i use my now tv on chromecast?
Not even here for the video but yea it’s still a beast
Ouch, but I appreciate you anyways man. Hopefully I can make a video that'd will you around! Take care dude!
@@MistahMOB sorry man I didn’t mean it like that 😂 obvs watched the video but I clicked on it to comment initially. Keep doing what you’re doing yo
And price still expensive...sigh.. but it looks like it worth it
can i use it if dont have a smart tv and use my mobile internet??
I mean of course you could but if you have a smart tv, I'd use that until you get a solid ISP cable setup. The phone hotspot might be slow or laggy. Goodluck!
Great video bro
I appreciate it thank you 👊💯
I think thats where Roku got this beat...all the signing in through Google and Chrome cast is a no...can I use this without internet just to watch usb movies? Roku allows it.
Then get a Roku.
yes you can use a usb to play movies without internet. i have a 6TB hdd filled with movies that i watch on the sheild. why would you compare a roku to the sheild? because of google sign in? everyone has there own reasons i guess.
@@soulfreegamingSFG that is not true. You HAVE to sign into your google account to use the shield.
ApollogroupTV service goes crazy on android/fire devices 😎
Paired with Weyd and RD and you are streaming everything 👍
AI upscaling best use ive found so far is IPTV but yea the shield remote isnt the greatest for iptv and lack of recording options for iptv
Records great with tivimate
Does it have AirPlay?
yes install the air app from the play store
the AI makes old movies 4K
Agree. The AI upscaling is incredible on that tiny device.
Is this better then the monster box
Yes the Nvidia shield I believe is a better option. Reliable firmware/ security updates by a trusted company. Hope that helps!
Is these good for gaming?
I mean yes if you already have a PC that runs steam on your home network or a GeForce now account. Otherwise I'd say get a switch or something. I'm not sure how hardcore you are.
So I picked up an NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro a couple of weeks ago to use solely as a Plex server. My hope was to get better transcoding from it than from my current Synology NAS. After a week of email exchanges with NVIDIA Support, the SHIELD is being returned. The problem? Although you can mount a NAS to it for media storage, you can't use the NAS for metadata storage. Any moderate Plex library will exhaust the SHIELD's internal memory and attaching a USB drive to the thing for metadata storage was not what I was looking to do; twice the power usage, significant additional expense. So, the device goes back. Very disappointing experience overall.
FYI,
For those of us beginners, this pass is too quick as we don't have your familiarity.
Your "sure" all the time?
This is obviously a good demo for those experienced, but we Newbys need more, slower, explanation.
Thank you.
I really reappreciate the feedback and I will absolutely take that note to my speech. (I'm not a professional either so remember I get a bit nervous sometimes to, will improve.)
Considering the price of this thing it's ridiculous that it doesn't come with the vertical stand.
That would be nice but not really needed I keep mine standing with no problem without the stand
I have own shield for a long time, it is good and fast! Probably the best streamer player in the world, the only downfall or flaw of it is the USB port, they are horrible and they don't work well. You can put a USB storage drive in it to store data on it, problem is after several months it goes bad and everything that was on that USB stick is lost. Shield doesn't recognizes it anymore. USB Stick is also no good, can't even format it on a PC. Try another one and it worked! But again repeats after several months so I stop using the USB ports on Shield because it will just destroyed the USB stick again and again. Other than that, I still use it and 16 GB is normally plenty for what we watch. It just sucks not to be able to use the USB to expand the storage. I don't know if it is my device that is defective or it's a common problem, so I am not sure.
Had my 2019 pro for years now and no usb problem. Must be a problem with yours.
I still have a 2015 version tucked away somewhere too.
No problem with mine
@@americanbullies1247 Perhaps maybe I have a lemon but other than that it works great.
@@darillfow Honestly could be, happen to me about a month ago with the new Formuler Z11 Pro Max, wanted to try a newer device for my other room and had nothing but issues on what is supposed to be a good device. But like anything else theirs always lemons.
@@americanbullies1247 Yeah the usb storage I had was a SanDisk 32GB which is plenty for android since the apps are small in sizes, I had a bunch of junk on it you know testing out different apps etc and so on, never had to worried about cleaning it out or emptying since it was plenty of storage, after several months or near a year the SanDisk got damaged it was also very hot. I took it out and was planning on just using it for PC storage however the SanDisk is no longer working had to throw the thing away in garbage unfortunately. I just never bothered with it anymore. 16 GB is plenty so I'm not gonna complain.
1:49 sorry can you repeat that? 2 1/2 what?
Lol I thought the same thing 😅 🤣 😂
Nice video. Would be even better if you had any idea of what you are talking about. Sick!
You need to sort out the light reflection on your screen.
LOL anygood in 2021. Its by far the best android tv box and probably always will be. Even the 2015 model is better than any competitor in 2021
tell that to people who stream only it's a tad overkill why would you spend the $ on something your not going to use
Goggle?
Pure hype for Price 3gb of ram hard to customize and updates include adware
Is this the Pro 2019?
It has the newest remote so yes PRO 2019.
@@MandaS1986 Awesome. Was worried I missed a newer version. Covid slowing any newer versions for now I am guessing.
I had a nvidia shield pro with kodi installed. All l had was problems buffering and not connecting to movies. Waste of my money.
Its not the machine, its the movie link sources. I dont havent used kodi for years and still get lots of free movie apks. You dont need kodi.
Watch some y tube videos theyll help you get things like APK Time and Blokada and enable you to install the apks you need for your moves and shows. I can suggest Cinema HD and Bee Tv and Zeni Tevi for example. Ive had mine for years,its great once you unlock its potential.
loved my shield untill todays update .... wtf is with the adds seriously
Not a big deal. Doesn't distract you or interrupt your activities. It sits on the home screen and actually makes ot look nice. Ignore it and go about your business.
I'm waiting for the new version
Whens new one out is there a date

@@jamesbucsis6296 that's a rumor. Nvidia has not said or implied that there will be any new SHIELD this year.

i have one. the tube it sucks
it keeps removing apps and you need a vpn to play games australia. my control is flat.
it is good but removing my apps is pissing me off 🇦🇺🐨👍
The removal to various app I would assume is from brand deal changes between the big companies like google and nvidia and your location. I'm not 100% positive. They may come back.
Flat control? That's weird... Could be an assuie version? I couldn't find anything on Google. I've never heard of that before I apologize I don't have an answer. They have the actual controller on amazon for decent price. Thanks for checking out the vid man I appreciate it.
