New NVIDIA Shield TV 2019 Review

What's better than one new NVIDIA Shield TV? How about TWO. And one of them is shaped like a tube. On one hand what we have here is a pretty iterative update. On the other hand? It's still the only Android TV system you should even think about buying. Plus it still has GeForce Now gaming and is a great choice for cordcutters.

For many years most movies have been filmed in 4k and more reacently 6k - 8k. It's then mastered at 2k for theatrical distribution and down scaled to 1080p for DVD/bluray/streaming. Eventually they'll release the native 4k versions of most movies/shows from the past 6+ years. Interestingly, most network cable shows are still filmed at 720p because they have a set production pipeline using the original editing equipment/workflow that the series was started with. We filmed for the Bachelor last season using a Canon C300 mkII at 720p lol

6:03 Dolby Atmos was in the previous devices. That was one of the main selling points of the past devices...
Dolby Vision is the new feature.

Wow. 1st time I seen your stuff. Was really easy to watch and understand. Thanks man!

Can you get live tv on this device such as Philo TV? Are Pluto TV, Peacock, and HBO Max available with this unit? Am I able to cast media from my phone onto the tv with this device? I'm not happy with my Roku streaming stick+ as it overheats quite a bit, and freezes up as well. It seems like it's way better quality than what a Roku is. Are you able to do video calls over the tv with this? I don't like portal, so that would be an extra perk for this unit if it does that!

Do I need the pro if I’m just going to stream my games from my desktop using nvidia gamestream via my home internet?

[greatmusicgoodfeel]

I would buy it just for the find the remote feature.. Great unit, My old one runs strong

[greekmanx]

I just hate this PRO devices coming with paltry storage I mean 16GB in a Pro device is crazy should of been alot more the OG Shield TV Pro had a 500GB HDD in it. and 8GB in the new base model is nuts I think at a minimum we should of got 32gb in the base and 128 in the pro. These prices they should easily of been able to increase the storage. I mean all they did was add the Switch Lite cpu in it and change the remote and the base model design and call it a day. Don't get me wrong I love my OG Shield TV. I just expected more from Nvidia.

They should of added more RAM and more internal storage. 4 to 6 GB ram and maybe 64gb hard drive.. I'll wait til they really do upgraded to buy another one..

Great video, can you pair Bluetooth headphones, and use it that way?? For the late night watching and not bothering others??

@ModernDad
Great info MD. Im think when taxes hit ill grab one of these invidia shields, im using my xbox for everything until then. I wanted to run old nes/ snes /n64/dreamcast games on it aswell. Would the pro be my only option or would the 150$ version be ok? Thanks man be blessed.

[thinkzinc]

Thank you!
You helped me decide on the tube.
I don't do hardcore Android gaming.
Need something better than Roku that lets me play casual games.

[burndatl]

Do you think both will be Google stadia compatible?

[cassianoraimundobizotto]

Modem dad, Chigz, this upscalling service from NVidia shield pró is better from upscalling service 4k tvs and Xbox one x, PS4 pró? our not diferences?

[etop]

Does the ai improves the picture quality on a Full HD monitor too?

[jibbsy]

Thanks for this review. I'm not a gamer but I do like my tech and want a really good steaming device. Not too happy with my Amazon devices. Watched 5 reviews and you finally answered my question! Thanks. We do like the Amazon line up can we still get the same Amazon prime / Amazon studios shows on this line boardwalk empire et al? Thanks again

[Jackman]

Great review, How could I add a DVR to this system or should I just go with youtube tv that has a DVR option?

[hninasayada]

I like your videos
Pls tell me URGENT Does any Bluetooth gamepad ( 26 $ game pads) work for nvidia shield tv pro?

[sifuppod]

I just want to know if streaming 4k movies and streaming netflix, prime video, etc will be considerably better than the 2017 version.I just bought the new if 65c9 oled and want my baby to shine.

[juanchevere]

Hey Modern dad. Thank you for the review. I have a question. I currently have the older shield pro. The one with 500 gb. Would you say is worth updating for the new one or not enough differences to change it. ?? Thank you in advance.

[Thekati]

Thanks for the review. Is it possible to connect a keyboard and mouse which have a USB dongle to the Pro model? If not I will buy the cheaper one instead
