I own 3 of the newest Shield Pro models and have owned most of the other streamers (Roku, Apple tv, Firetv, ect, ect). Nothing, NOTHING comes close to the picture quality i get from the Shield Pro. It is hands down the best streamer at the moment. By the way, none of the Shields i own have scratches. Take care of your gear people! Don't scratch it up and clean/dust off often! Look forward to future Shield hardware from Nvidia.

Phones are getting faster and faster but Android TV Box stays the same 😕

This chip was released 6 years ago, and was so ahead from the competition that in 2022 still hold on, but it's time to Nvidia to come with something new and revolutionary again.

I have the shield tv pro 2019. What I did to get more USB port is I bought an adapter to plug in one USB then it became 6 USB port. So I ended up having 7 USB port on my shield. So there's an easy way around it. And I plugged in a 2TB storage and now my shield tv has 2TB storage instead of that small 16GB internal storage which isn't enough ! It's kind of nice ! I never get a low storage warning cause the 2TB drive.

12:50 loved how you pronounced ''schlide'' and how casually you said it, it is perfection, just improved the vid 50Mil times

I got the 2017 Pro, I took out the hybrid SSD/HDD and put in a Samsung 860 Evo SSD, it massively improved performance 😜🤪👍🏻

Great review, i like to see gaming projects with this. does this support logitech racing wheels and virtual pinball portrait mode?

My Shield TV has been rocking since 2015 and it won't retire until a real new Shield arrives. I have just finished Doom 3 on the fat controller that came in the bundle, and I still love it. The latency is so much better than the Bluetooth version. About Dolphin: I don't know what happens today, but I used to play Mario Kart upscaled on GC and new Super Mario Bros on Wii with no major issues at a decent frame rate. Probably Dolphin added many functions and Android is now heavier.

Need a 2024 shield tv.

I have two Nvidia Shields the 2017 model and the 2019 TV Pro I would like to play all the retro games but setting up has never been simple and straightforward...keep up the good work my man

I just bought an Nvidia Shield after your recommendation from your previous videos. I can say that it really is a powerhouse for retro gaming. I'm loving it.

I still use my Shield Pro 2019 every day. Wish they'd come out with something updated.

Good afternoon, please tell me which android tv box is better Formuler z11 pro max or Nvidia Shield TV Pro, Wanted to buy Nvidia but came across Formuler and can't decide.

The new Nvidia Shield 2 Pro Will appear when it come with AV1 with Hardware acceleration (with software i do some test and can run AV1 1080p, but in 4k is very laggy.). We hope it happen in 2023

I have the 2017 16gb version and have a 700gb external drive I formatted. I saved myself some money and works exactly the same.

How did you install and operate Real Racing 3? On my NVidia Shield Pro (2019) it says the game is not compatible with this device.

I just bought a 2015 model with 500gb drive and installed a 500gb ssd in it . Only paid 100$ bucks for it cause the owner thought it was broken . But it just needed a new power supply . I love it and its very snappy for a 2015 model .

I wish we had a new shield tv or tablet

It something cannot emulate anything up to PS3/WiiU then I will pass....a $400 PC inside my arcade cabinet still seems to prudent choice. Even if I didn't have a cabinet, just saw a I5-9600k with a 660ti for $375 on marketplace.

The newer version was enhanced for movie watching, has the best upscaling, which csn never come to the older ones. Did not like the old controller, perfer using my Xbox one

my biggest gripe with the shield is real racing 3 you cant get multiplayer why i have no clue has anyone found out a fix i think its something to do with the adds in rr3 ?

Love the videos! You put so much time and work into them and they make my day better

Thank you for this great video. On the other hand, there is no PS2 emuler that works on Shield?

Does a Playstation controller also work just fine?

I have 2, 2017 versions, added 500 gb ssd to one, and 2Tb, yes 2Tb, to other zoom zoom,

I had one of the flat remote and replaced it with new triangular ones becouse batteries are ezer to find. a powered USB hub is a must for these things.

Tegra X1 in Shield TV is soon 8 years old, and still relevant. I bought 2 Shield TV's in 2015 at launch and still use both.

What's the Price of a Shield, how about a Second Hand Switch with CFW to emulate everything

I haven't been super impressed with the emulation on it for much beyond SNES. Love it for Nvidia Geforce Now though!

To put it simply, there's 2017 & 2019 Nvidia Shield TV Pro. The differences & specs of all these devices are listed on Wikipedia. Edit: ETA Prime did a review on the most powerful ARM Android TV box. I do not remember it's name, but it looks like your typical Pandora's box, albeit the case is made of Al instead being plastic fantastic 👀

I don't think people pay that much for them, Wicked. It's still cheaper than new second hand, isn't it?

Bought mine purely for streaming legit services/Plex as I was so sick of slow little boxes that would frequently crash. Even just for that, it's money well spent. Sadly the remote control is broken (the old one) & I can't find a replacement anywhere , but my Samsung Smart TV remote picks it up after a few clicks and it works OK.

I’ve have 2019 pro versions for a few years, and it on nearly all day it’s an absolute beast of a machine I dread the it gives in on me, let’s say I did my homework on what is the best machine for the job I needed, and this machine is definitely it.

No rumble support, which is a bit of a killer for PlayStation games like Metal Gear Solid 😢

I still use the original pro version, at least it holds value now. Good they have been updating it over the years, still need to figure out how to interface it to a NAS though

My 2017 pro is still a beast 👹

I just got one to run shadow pc and game pass. I was looking at beelinks and pis before stumbling upon this. I was hoping it would just do ok with that and it does really good actually. Very impressed. It's turned my small cheap slow roku into my pc with monitor. Gonna have one of my kids set up a bunch of emulation on it. I from time to time like to play just mobile games so another nice add. I know in the reviews everyone kind of pokes fun at it for being old but I'm a cloud or switch gamer. On the go a lot. This does everything I need to have an awesome pc game experience at a desk with a little set up I've never had before. Still a great buy in 2022.

Yes, interesting how good this holds up

can i stream from my pc games on the shield without using G-Force now or G-Force Experience?

When you say fastest Android box, do you consider H96 Max V58 (with RK3588) in the race or don't?

Try dolphin ISHIIRUKA or dolphin MMJ or MMJR respectively

Tegra used to be an amazing chip. That was 5 years ago though. I use snapdragon 945 to play games now. A Galaxy S10+ with cracked screen does the job for me. It is purely for android games, and uses dex for web-browsing. I just have a 1080p screen for it, but its 55" so I'm not complaining. Getting DEX to do 4k is a bit of a challenge, unless you get the Samsung dock. I just have a chinese hub thing. Anyway, what version of Android does that Shield run again now?

According to what I found on Google an Emperor is highest monarchic honor and rank, surpassing king. So maybe you should call the Nvidia Shield the Emperor of all the android boxes.

Ralph was just talking about you in his last live stream!

Had the 2015 OG model shown in the video with it's Microsd slot and micro USB. Nvidia update bricked it and the best they could do was replace with the newer pro version. Definitely felt like a downgrade for my needs as I used both the micro SD slot and micro USB , as well as the USB ports. The 2015 model gave me no issues until the update bricked it. Been having nothing but problems with the newer, but less feature packed version. I miss my 2015 model.

Can i use a SanDisk Ultra Fit 512GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive in the SHIELD TV Pro 2019 with no any issue's ?

I have an Nvidia Shield Pro 500 gig that I purchased at a thrift shop for $3 I'm strapped for cash so if anyone wants it they can get a good deal. No cords no controllers $100 bill

What Format does it have to be in for additional Storage Memory?

My Shield Pro stutters a little bit during mkv/mp4 playback using a USB source (thumbdrive, SSD, etc). Doesn't matter the app that I use (VLC, MXPlayer, Plex, etc). It handles a cast from my Android phone fine enough but not via the USB port. Anybody else suffer this? Anybody figure out a fix? I've tried everything, including a warranty replacement.

Did you get a problem with inputlag with some upscaled games here? When i buy a NVIDIA NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO did i get here problems with inputlag during upscaled-.rom-Games which i want to play from SD Card and not from the cloud? Greetings.

Nice controller 👍👍

@WickedG You should look into the new NanoPi R6S. It beats out the Shield, and would be the perfect replacement, with the exception of Android Widevine L1 DRM, Unfortunately.

I picked one up just to check it out. It's ok if one can't afford a mediocre PC that runs circles around it.

How much do they all Cost?

quick question, are there any emulators with preinstalled games or do i have to put in my own

God of War: Chain of Kinkiness must be a really “hard” game. 😅

The fact that my phone can now run GameCube and some PS2 titles... Makes me hesitant to buy one... Why won't they upgrade it already!?!

I personally have zero interest in TV and haven't watched a more than a few seconds of while walking by in years, but someone else in the house likes to watch TV and sticking with a Comcast box and an early, clumsy version of Web OS on the older LG TV puts me in a box that prevents me from saving a lot of money every month by simply having options plus I'm paying $10/mo. for a box. One thing that is advertised with the nVidia Shield Pro is that it can be an Alexa and Google Assistant hub. I'll call them out on that because on their site it states that you need to have the controller which I don't even know if it works with the 2019, nor if you can buy it, and if you can, it's now another $100, not $50 like before. The remote is not rechargeable like the controller is, and with the need to listen all the time, and that isn't going to happen with AAA batteries, and the unit itself would be too close to the TV speakers to be a viable microphone source. That said, if you cross that off the list of specs, its still tough to beat. It looks like any place there is a slight lack in performance compared to the best out there today, it trounces the competition with features such as unparalleled upscaling, the power and flexibility to be a Plex server, configurable menus and even 3rd party ones, and capable of running more services and emulators better than anything else out there.

Can i Connect luna Controller?

Best thing I use is lunchbox with a 2tb HDD

Can this play stream games

What is more powerful Nvidia Shield or Nanopi R6S?

For a long time is was the King of Kings and only now are we seeing it looking a little long in the tooth compared to what SOC's are coming out. I feel sure that Nvidia will being out a new one next year. Prefer the I/O on the original.

What Emulators will Work???

Not sure if you mentioned it, but one of the differences between the 2015 &. 2019 models is that the older one uses infra-red for the remote and the newer one uses Bluetooth. Was a bit of a bummer for me because I wanted to run my 2019 Shield with my Harmony remote because I use it as the "smart" part of my TV.

i have my Shield for ages now. All i want to run runs perfect to me (with a few exceptions) Still bummed Sega Saturn still does not work perfectly after years. I still can not run a certain friggin 2d fighting game

One of my 500gb Nvidia Shield TV stopped booting past the Nvidia logo. Tried factory reset, but it doesn't work. Is there a way to clone the hard drive if it's probably dead! Lol

Have you tried the android box that have rk3588 in it? It is better than this one performance wise

The king it is👑

1:03 Ripped Robby s ells the best call of duty mods

R58X is great too.

Hey Wicked. I picked up the H96 Max V58, and it actually outperforms the Shield in terms of emulation. Highly recommended box for gaming, but not for streaming.

With some cheap Amd Ryzen and intel mini pc i dont think nvidia shield is worth it!

Can it be upgradable to android 12 or do they need to make a newer model?

Anyone recommend me the best retro console out?

Nvidia just announced they’re disabling gamestream next year. Been using it for years. I’m so upset

Is it better than the retro station pro because my retro station plays so slow

I was thinking, maybe for around $300 the best emulation box right now seems to be an Xbox Series S. I did a bit of research into both the Nvidia and the Xbox, and for me personally, the Xbox was a much better option.

Can i play games like fortnite and minecraft on this tv box?

I don't think it's worth the price, other far cheaper consoles are quickly catching up. I'll be happy with my Super Console X until they come out with something that plays quality ps2 at a decent price

Can you play call of duty mobile?

Chain of kinkiness. Haha

in 10 years you will make this same video....Nvidia shield is still king of the android boxes in year 2032

My 5 year old Nuc mini pc, plays better than my shield. Android is not the best way to run emmulation

The Chinese boxes are using old emmulators, and not newer versions and old Android, and not legal, hense rooted devices. Using old emmulators they may get away with it due to be old ones.

Update video Still shild box King 🤣🤣🤣

Really? I have one haha

Just get a steam deck

This is one of the most confusing product in the world.

Has anybody been able to get Roblox to work on the Shield? My daughter had daggers in her eyes after I promised her Roblox on a 65inch TV. lol

I disagree, xbox series s and x is the king of emulation right now.

this is crap not ultimate. If it was ultimate it would have these parameters: Snapdragon 8 gen 2 or faster 16gb ram 1tb rom HDMI, Thunderbolt - 4K screen connection 20000mAh battery these should be the minimum requirements, and not that they sell any sh&t

I have one and it's waste of money

Guy Gantic!
