- The Nvidia Shield has been the king of android boxes for as long as I can remember, but is it still worth it in 2024?

Have 3 in-house (2015-2019 models), bought several for family members. No problems whatsoever streaming. Love this thing to death
Does this make just your normal tv shows look way way better? I basically only use hulu live TV through a TCL 6 series with roku built in..thats about all I watch....
How much would this or wouldn't this help or be worth itt? Thank you
@@Brett_Nebraska Tested with my parents tcl 615, its much better, atleast in the series that support more stuff, like hbo max house of dragons for instance. But i honestly dont think its quite as speedy as it was a few years ago, the apps are heavier by the day i would buy a apple tv nowadays.
Ditto. I also have three. Best cheap streamer!
@@DT_Cyklone Nvidia Shield PRO is truly a awesome streaming device. I especially love the AI upscaling, plus all the other settings features.
As someone who runs plex and has a home theater i absolutely LOVE my 2019 🙏
for crazy people who like to stream remux movies 70 gb and above , Nvidia shield is the way to go . this thing plays em like butter smooth . it changed my streaming life lol
How does it do with Dolby Vison content? Alot of my remux 70gb+ Dolby Vison movies either get black screens or get reverted back to HDR10 with my current setup. Alot of my research seems to suggest that theres nothing on the market that can play all profiles of Doby Vision properly. Not sure if you have a different experience with the shield?
@@leesanction2068I once had this issue where DV movies get all purple but not black screen or revert to hdr 10 , all I did was buy two high speed HDMI cables .. connected eARC
to my sound bar and my tv settings put it to HDMI 2.1 option and the other one goes from the shield to the tv but not in eARC port .
that solved it for me .. I hope this was clear enough to get .
@@leesanction2068I solved the issue with two high speed HDMI cables , one going from eARC to my sound bar .
the second going from my shield to TV hdmi , then in setting set that hdmi to 2.1
My shield tube is able to playback my dv stuff . I had to unplug and replug the device lol. I think the shield doesn't like being standby for a day or something. Because I don't turn the shield of and notice dv won't play after a day or longer then a unplug and it works. Wired and wireless seems to work on the tube like with or without ethernet. On the PC it seems better using wifi then ethernet.
Ditto. I followed Trash’s guide and built a UNRAID Nas and use EMBY as my streaming app. The only hiccup is when skipping forward in a video the subtitles and voice are out of sync. Easily fixed by stopping then playing the video again. The shield pro is the best cheapest streamer. Z
I just bought a Shield with a backlit remote control. Got it for Prime Day for $169.00 plus tax.😊
I still have my 2015 Shield and it works perfectly, I just love the fact that it has so many ports.That's why I never upgraded, but it's about time for them to release a new one. Here are the features I hope come with the new one.
1.8K Support
2.1TB Storage
3. 3.1 USB Ports.
4. Ability to backup and transfer all data & apps from one Shield to another
Upscaling makes a difference on 1080p content on your 4k screen when using the 2019 version. Dolby Vision for when you get a great display puts the 2019 above the rest
Dolby vision is definitely a big reason you might want to go with the 2019 model for sure. But from my experience, the upscaling did make a bit of a difference from 1080p to 4k, just not enough to recommend paying extra for it. 🤔
nvidia.. i will pay like 500 bucks for an overkill 2024 shield that gives me ai upscaling full dolby atmos support and doubles as a home server or controller for home assistant/next cloud.
I purchased one over 2 months ago , and I have to say being new to the shield that’s it’s definitely worth the price ,
It will play anything I throw at it , I bought it to replace Amazon cube got sick of Amazon and there locked down system and then going into my device and changing the settings .
Cube 3rd gen vs shield 🛡️
Winner shield !!!
Pay extra £50 you won’t regret it .
Another thing turn off auto update on shield , as upon research I found out there updates can mess up your shield.
Android 11 is great ..
Buyers beware it will not play the big 4 uk sites but as I don’t use them it makes no difference to me and if you do most smart tvs have them anyway .

Nvidia really needs to launch a brand new one by now. Use the Switch 2 Tegra hardware. Introduce even better AI features and upscaling. Android 13 or higher etc.
A lot of us still use it and want new one. So there is a market. But they don't seem to care.
Yea, seems like Nvidia gave up on the shield for some unknown reason. The market is 100% there, so like you said, I assume they are waiting on the Switch 2 tegra chip. But honestly, I won't be all too surprised if they trash that idea seeing how they're currently treating the shield.
Oh they got it 99% sure. It's all cutthroat marketing timing these days. If swicth 2 tegra comes out you can expect something from Nvidia a.i chips.
YES.. I’m still rocking my 2015. Best device I’ve purchased hands down. Was just playing battlefield 2042 last night cross platform with my bro on PS5. Just upgrade the controller and your in the game
I've replaced multiple TV boxes while my shield just keeps performing. Best investment I've made here .
Purposely bought a 2015 variant second hand… remote is almost the same design, but has a rechargeable battery, also headphone jack where audio is sent to when plugged in. Main reason I went for the 2015 model? Storage. Swapped hard drive out for a 4 TB ssd, and also used a decent size micro SD… hellooooo plex media server!
Fun fact: Nintendo ported Galaxy to the Shield in China.
The 2019 remote has some cool features. It feels good quality and is backlit - but that’s where the pros end. The actual layout of the remote is the most unintuitive i have ever used. Why can’t pause be in the middle with rewind and fast forward on both sides like a normal remote? As well as the fat netflix button which is so easy to press by accident when picking up the remote. On top of that, due to its weird triangular design you can’t lay it flat on a table or arm rest and press the buttons without picking it up. I ended up getting a third party remote because quality doesn’t matter if i have to look at the remote to know where the buttons are. It should be intuitive. I shouldn’t have to look at the remote and tred on a minefield to avoid pressing the wrong buttons
You can easily remap Netflix button for something else with Button Mapper for free. I change it for Stremio app and it is consistent all the time.
Been waiting to buy one for last 4 years, but in my country India it is selling for like 350 dollars and apple tv is like 200 dollars, so bought an apple 4 years back and still waiting for price drop on shield, but still not down.
When someone says vertical storage makes it look like a console and you realize you’ve gotten old lol
I love how UA-cam is pushing small creators :D always love to watch a review about a product that the reviewer doesn't have but wishes he could have x.x
@03:55 The Tegra is the gpu chip. The processor is an Arm A7 one.
I have 2019 Shield TV which performs flawlessly and the Pro which I will use when the TV stops working. I cannot even imagine using any other streamer. The Pro is expensive so I waited until it went on sale to purchase it. The Pro was in a contest with all of the top tier streamers last year and they were soundly drubbed. The only streamer that was close was the Apple TV and the Pro spanked it by ten points.
Man that poor remote, thanks for the laughs
Had to get it out of my system 🤣
I use the Nvidia shield the most out of the many tv devices I own ... No other device can make 1080 look 4k...
Crazy question, can you replace Nvidia voice navigation with Alexa?
Thats kind of the deal breaker that pushed me to my hands free fire cubes.
hardly any mention of cloud gaming
Do you think there will be an updated version soon?
i use it to run an emby server with a separate nas for storage . even records my ip cameras . perfect all in 1 unit.
Funny, but I am your opposite, Shield regularly crashes. Perhaps every week I need to reboot it or even completely unpower it and turn on again.
Wow, that's really surprising. Does it run well aside from the crashing, or is that also bad?
@@manistechshack It runs fine, when it runs. So far, I do not see any valuable replacement even now. BTW I use it hardly for listening to music too.
@@kamertonaudiophileplayer847I wonder if there’s an issue with the hdd
@@mattbrock9491 Sorry, no hdd is at all.
@@kamertonaudiophileplayer847have you tried taking it apart & cleaning the fan? That’s something common & easy to do.
But if you are talking about the non-pro version, then there would be different hardware design changes.
It only plays 16-bit audio. I just got one, and this is the biggest disappointment.
I got lucky and picked up a second hand '17 for an awesome price. It crushes any 4k video I've thrown at it
why are the apps other than stremio and smart tube blurred?
I have two current sheild
What I want to know is whether I can install streaming apps like Pluto, Freevee, Tubi tv and other app on this? I have a Samsung tv which do not allow you to download apps onto the tv. Also is Nvidia Shield only for the US and Europe?
The brand of your TV does not matter with a Shield since you only use the HDMI port. You won’t use the crappy Samsung store / Samsung’s smart tv functions anymore. (I myself have 3 shields and 3 Samsung TVs.. ) Simply answer: You can install everything, and TV brand does not matter at all.
@@HiAXX Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated.
Awesome video, thank you!
I got 2019 one just under 2 years ago to use with geforce now. That isn't my favorite experience when it comes to lag tho. But it is the only tv box i will ever use till it does. Picture is absolutely great, its easy to use, and its so FAST. it has spoiled me to where i cant use the family's tv i hate it. It is attached to monior and bluetooth in my bed room and is my tv i watch while lounging about. I take it to work to stream wwe ppvs cuz thats a thing there. Its great for rpg games on geforce as well. Love my shield.
Can i use this to play shows and movies off of a usb? In HDR and dolby vision? Thanks!
Yes
@@abvmoose87 thanks I accidentally bought it while sleepy browsing eBay and have been having an amazing time with it
As a fellow Irish plex lover, consider me subscribed!
I still use it, but 3GB isn't enough.
Yea, in 2024, I think more would be a nice bonus, especially at the price these sell for.
I'm on my third nivida sheild awesome product, remember every one might have a different opinion.
I love the 2017 remote! Definitely better than the 2019 remote.
The worst opinion I've ever heard. But you're entitled to it 🤣🤣
Which the recent apps function is not even a thing on even the device from the original company that made the Android TV OS.
Well, all apps that work for Android TV should work on Shield too
Is this box auitable to all tv brands?
Definitely, this box can run anything, and most tv apps
I don't want to buy it full retail price... And i'm not sure about the longevity it's almost a decade.
Got i TV with Google TV and streaming 4K 60Gb works... But on wifi because Ethernet is only 100Mbits (USB 2.0 to Ethernet on the motherboard of the TV... 😢)
But no rooting ans I had to debloat it (debloat Google crap) , change the launcher... I contact the manufacturer to been able to root it and maybe install a custom kernel to get the last drop of performance/function that I can.
Shield and Nintendo switch have things in common 😂
Another useless video by some who loves the sound of their own voice!
Thank you brody 🙏🙏
