Nvidia’s Shield TV is a high-end 4K media streamer with some gaming chops. Now the company has refreshed the Shield TV unit with a cylindrical shape, faster processor, AI upscaling, Dolby Vision support, redesigned remote, and lower price. While the odd, cigar-like shape of the Shield TV itself and the strangely triangular remote control will get your attention, the biggest change to the Shield TV is its newfound ability to harness AI to convincingly upscale HD video to 4K. And true to Nvidia’s primary calling, the Shield TV provides a number of gaming outlets, from the usual fare of mobile games in the Google Play Store to streaming AAA titles from its GeForce Now service or your own PC.
Streaming boxes are usually cube-like in shape, but the new Nvidia Shield TV arrives in a drastically different form factor: the humble cylinder. With an HDMI port on one end and the power connector on the other, it’s meant to be stashed behind your TV among your tangle of cables. Next to the HDMI port is a microSD slot for expanding the Shield TV’s internal storage, and an Ethernet jack sits next to the power port if you’d rather use a wired connection to your network rather than Wi-Fi. There’s also a button that makes the remote emit a series of beeps if you ever need help locating it.
The remote control is less likely to slip between your couch cushions than the previous Shield TV remote or the skinny remotes for Apple TV or Fire TV. Unlike those thin slivers, the Shield TV remote is triangular in shape and noticeably more substantial, like a Toblerone chocolate bar. And it has some heft to it – in large part because it’s powered by two AAA batteries instead of a smaller, rechargeable battery.
The remote makes it easy to navigate the Android TV interface. It has a navigational ring that surrounds a Select button. Below are Home and Back buttons, media control buttons, volume buttons, and a voice search button via Google Assistant. Above the navigation ring are two buttons – the power button and a programmable button you can set to perform one of a variety of tasks, including opening the settings menu, muting the volume, or toggling AI upscaling on and off. After testing the AI upscaling, I ended up setting the button to act as a mute button. The bottom-most button is a Netflix button that I wish wasn’t so wide because I constantly hit it by accident. I also still haven’t gotten used to the layout of the media control buttons – fast forward, play/pause, and rewind are lined up vertically. It helps, however, that the buttons light up when you pick up the remote.
To get the remote’s volume buttons working, you’ll need to head into the settings of Android TV and connect it with your TV, speakers, or soundbar. You can do the same thing in order to have the remote’s power button turn your TV on and off with the Shield TV. Both volume and power buttons were easy to set up and seamless to use.
Like the previous model, the newest Shield TV supports HDR10 and Dolby Atmos. Unlike the last model, it also supports Dolby Vision, which is good news for watching 4K content on Prime Video, Apple, Netflix and Vudu. It lacks the HDR10+ format, which provides an even more realistic, dynamic picture – a feature you get with the Amazon Fire TV Cube. The Shield TV can also act as a Chromecast for streaming content from your phone, tablet or laptop.
Powering the Shield TV is Nvidia’s own Tegra X1+ processor and 8GB of flash storage. The new Tegra chip is up to 25% faster than the Tegra X1 chip in the previous Shield TV, according to Nvidia, but the storage capacity is half that of the previous model. You can, however, expand the Shield TV’s storage via the microSD card slot. (The previous model had a USB port for expanded storage.) Then again, given the sheer amount of streaming content available, you may not even fill the 8GB of internal storage.
The Nvidia Shield TV is available at its MSRP of $149.99 direct from Nvidia’s site as well as online retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy. It was briefly discounted to $129 in late January, but is back to full price as of this writing.
For its speedy performance, AI upscaling, well-designed remote, and lower price, the Nvidia Shield TV is one of the best media streamers you can buy. Its ability to stream games makes it even more attractive for gamers with GeForce-based rigs.
