The editors didn't like

  • Android TV apps are still lacking
  • Accessories are expensive
  • Most expensive box in this class
  • Larger than other boxes
  • Key media apps are missing
  • No remote control packed in
  • Only a gamepad
  • Pricey
  • Somewhat Pricey
  • Some Games Aren't Well Suited To Game Controllers
  • Cheap external storage options make the cost of the Pro version a little tough to justify
  • Comparatively expensive
  • No dedicated audio-out on the console (just via HDMI)
  • Android TV restrictions (task manager only with keyboard
  • Limited app selection
  • Sideloading)
  • Only available in a 16GB model (but it has expandable storage)
  • 16GB of storage • Bandwidth required for streaming HD online • GameStreaming lag
  • It's more expensive than any other streamer and doesn't include a remote
  • Aside from the game controller. Native app selection is still weaker than that of Roku
  • Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. The menu system seems designed to push users toward Google's med
  • Bottom Line
  • Nvidia's new Shield microconsole is remarkably powerful and supports Netflix 4K
  • But it's held back by several frustrating Android TV limitations
  • And its games library still can't compare with a dedicated game console
  • Software is occasionally buggy and hard to navigate
  • Sends a message that non-gamers aren't welcome
  • Considerably more expensive than other set-tops
  • Headache-inducing remote control
  • No Dolby Vision or HDR10+ support
  • Android TV is still behind on TV guide features and app support
  • Game-streaming's selection needs work
  • Small selection of video apps
  • Expensive
  • The new Shield TV is basically the same Android TV media streamer-microconsole hybrid as the original
  • But with a few new tricks
  • More than a year of software enhancements from Nvidia don't hurt either
  • Lacks Some Ports Of The Original
  • Android TV This is somewhat of a slippery slope
  • Because the box is Android TV. But we're still not completely there on the whole experience or content thing. I'm still confident it'll get there
  • Though. (And it's definitely in a better place than it was
  • Oddities in app selection and interface
  • More expensive than competing streamers. Not as many 4K and HDR apps as Roku
  • And no access to first-tier games without streaming from a PC
  • Limited Android game selection
  • Android TV still needs polishing
  • Provides essentially the same functionality as the original
  • Only available in black
  • No LEDs to indicate power or charging
  • I miss the microSD card slot
  • It'd be great if it came in green
  • Freezes/crashes
  • Key apps missing
  • Not powerful enough
  • Game controller feels cheap
  • GeForce Now streaming requires a subscription and additional purchases
  • Not so great for heavy-duty Android games
  • No big internal hardware changes
  • Not that much cheaper than a game console
  • Expensive in comparison to many peers
  • Larger than previous Shield devices
  • Lackluster Android games

  • Die Nvidia Shield Android TV (2017) ist definitiv kein notwendiges Upgrade für Bestandskunden. Jene haben abseits der kompakteren Maße und der neuen Hands-Free-Möglichkeiten des Controllers keinen sinnvollen Grund umzusteigen. Im Gegenteil, denn sie büßen...

  • Sehr starke Performance, Angenehm kleiner Formfaktor, Sehr flexibel dank Android TV, Umfangreiche Software-Features, Fernbedienung + Controller dabei
  • Vergleichsweise hoher Verbrauch, MicroSD-Kartenslot entfällt, Zu teuer für "Streaming only"
  • Die neue Shield TV-Konsole präsentiert sich im Test als exzellenter und hoch-performanter Media-Player auf Android-TV-Basis mit ausgeprägtem Gaming-Fokus, der zum Test-Zeitpunkt jegliche Konkurrenz mit Leichtigkeit deklassiert. Die Neuerungen gegenüber de...

  • Dennoch hat es die Box schwer. Ich persönlich habe sie als Zusatzgerät zu schätzen gelernt, aber ich kann verstehen, wenn man Shield TV skeptisch gegenübersteht. Für reine Gamer sind Konsolen interessanter, denn sie haben ebenfalls viel zu bieten, für rei...
