Turn your TV into an all-in-one media center and game console with the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro. This game center allows you to play your PC games on your TV in HD quality. Stream games like Watch Dogs 2 and Overwatch from the special game collection with the NVIDIA super computer via GeForce NOW. With the Tegra X1 Quad-Core processor, you can browse the apps quickly. The 500GB of storage capacity gives you all the storage space you need to download games, movies, and apps. Still not enough space? Easily expand it via the microSD port or one of the 2 USB 3.0 connectors.

After years of using a Raspberry Pi and Intel based media center, this is more than a replacement. The Shield and Pi are of course not comparable in any way. The same goes for the Intel media center, HDMI-CEC is also supported without an adapter. In terms of performance alone, but also in terms of technology (4K, HDMI2.0b, HDR, DTS-HD, Dolby True HD,...) I can recommend the Shield. One of the few stable performing media players with this much functionality. Both the remote and the game controller feel good and allow you to quickly adjust the volume via the sensitive zone. It is also possible to connect headphones to both the remote and game controller so as not to disturb the environment. Ideal as a Plex media player/server. Netflix is also installed out of the box. Android games like "Asphalt 8: Airborne" feel like console class. Despite the cost of €10/month, you still have a nice library of games that are rendered on an Nvidia GTX 1080 gpu from the Nvidia NOW Cloud. A gaming PC with that graphics card and custom CPU/power/memory can easily cost €1500+ without the costs of the games themselves. No smart TV can match this set-top box.

We have had the "console, android tv box" for a week now. Netflix is really a revelation, we thought we were already watching in high quality before that, but with the shield TV this is a serious difference. Tried several android games and of course they play on this powerhouse without any problem. Our previous Android TV box was already a 'top model', but this is really many times more powerful. Also recently signed up for their online game streaming offer, just under 10 euros per month, and you really get a lot of free games for free. We don't have the best internet here and that is really a must. The games sometimes stuttered with WiFi. No problems via Ethernet port. With the previous version there were a lot of complaints about the controller, maybe "die hard" gamers are more used to it, but as a gaming layman I find it really useful. He recognized the wireless keyboard immediately. A wireless keyboard with such a USB stick was also recognized and you can actually operate the shield TV more easily with a mouse and keyboard.
There is not really a well-known browser that you can use from the app store. But you can download the APK files from the net and install them that way. You can find plenty of videos on youtube. So first installed Chrome and that also works flawlessly and really fast. That way you can check your emails etc online. Skype of the same, download and install APK file, flawless. I suspect that you can install a lot of those nice apps that you like to use that way. And very occasionally you are unlucky and it doesn't work out.
In short, a nice device to use KODI and netflix. You can store and view all your photos on the large hard drive. And playing a game in between is no problem, plenty of choice. So it is a very versatile device. It can do anything. Don't forget that Chromecast is built-in.
