Wooden shield
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
Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis, 4K Streaming, Vielzahl an Apps dank Google Play Integration, Perfekt für Filmund Spielegenuss
Als Besitzer einer Xbox war ich vor allem zu Beginn meines Tests etwas skeptisch, ob die NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Box wirklich einen Mehrwert für mich bietet. Bereits nach wenigen Minuten wusste ich jedoch die Antwort. Da es sich unterm Strich um ein durc...

Das Shield TV selbst ist eine durchaus zierliche Konsole, es misst 210 x 130 mm und ist an der dicksten Stelle 25 mm flach. Das Gewicht liegt bei rund 650 Gramm. Im Inneren steckt der Tegra X1, bei dem es sich um das aktuell schnellste SoC mit ARM-Kernen...
