Nvidia recently released the 2019 version of the NVIDIA Shield TV in an all-new design and remote. The Android TV box based unit is a little streaming box that allows for a multitude of functionality as it properly takes over your Smart-TV experience, but can also function as a streaming game console. NVIDIA updated the SoC and added some AI image-enhancing features as well as offering a new remote control.

There is 2 version the cheap one that is cylindrical and can be take everywhere and so the strange cylindrical shape (that is really cool at the use btw), and the "pro" expensive one where an HDD or a SSD can fit inside and that have more memory, that look like the old one but way more small.
Amazon, and Google TV also have strange design shape for their TV box, but the 2 best in quality are NVidia Shield and AppleTV.
It's the same as the AppleTV4K: the less expensive is far than enough even at high resolution
Nice review Hilbert.

Whats the difference between the old Shields (2015/2017) and this new one that the old ones cant support the AI enhancement?
I
Literally .... I've written all that in the review .. SoC performance, the new Shield is clocked faster (and fabbed at a new smaller fabrication process) to allow that new AI algorithm.

Nice review. I still really like my 2017 model and use it basically every day - as the Sony projector I use does not exactly have a "smart TV" interface, none at all in fact
I don't really like that cylinder design but i understand that is the "cheap" to be hidden version, designed to look like the Amazon sticks of this world. I would still get the traditional design to sit with my AV gear.
Yes the speed and responsiveness is king here. And I do use it for PLEX from a large NAS server. Even apps like youtube are very slick on this device, compared to the much slower TV apps (and I have 2019 model LG TVs)

Nice review, thanks.

I find it bad that the non pro version has less ram and the pro version just as much ram as in the normal Shields from 2015/17. And they cost more than the 2015/17 models as they came out...
