About Pro 4K HDR Streaming Media Player
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
82% appreciated the connectivity options
To play games with GEFORCE NOW, I need to connect to a 5GHz access point.
82% liked the remote control, but 18% didn't
The remote has backlit buttons.
I find the new remote much better than the previous one, but dislike the dedicated Netflix button on the remote control.
I dislike the remote control of the Shield Pro, comparing it unfavorably to the simplicity and size of the remote control on a Fire TV.
My old remote lasted for 6+ months on a single battery, but this new remote eats through batteries faster than I can keep up with, making it nearly unusable for me.

I found the Android TV interface on the Shield to be very intuitive and fast.
I have three TVs, one with google interface, one with Ruku interface, and my main TV with amazon Firestick 4k and X-box interface.
83% appreciated the video quality, though 17% experienced issues
The picture quality is excellent and the on-board video upscaling using AI is very impressive.
With higher quality content, AI upscaling disables itself.
With the default settings, I noticed that the image was blown out, indicating a problem with the picture quality.
Rephrased: The image was blown out with the default settings, indicating a problem with the picture quality.
On videos of less than 30 Mbs, my tablet constantly crashed.
83% found the voice control convenient, but 17% faced issues
I was thrilled when the device asked me to speak the name of the product instead of typing it.
If your audio receiver or TV is not in the supported list, the IR volume won't work even if you press the volume buttons.
When I press the voice button on the remote, the voice search tends to favor YouTube results.
