Best on the market
First of all to the LDLC service which is always of good quality. Then the product is now the best on the market.

Great product. Not perfect, but definitely better than a Chromecast. The AI upscale is terribly effective.
A problem with the shield caused me to contact the service department. As usual with LDLC, the response and follow-up were impeccable.
So good that I ordered a second one for my wife.
Product received on time even though I live in Corsica. Careful delivery.
I recommend LDLC without hesitation
Ia ora na,
I'm really pleased with the product: the speed and the image quality. I can't wait for a new version.
I've taken off one star because the problem comes from the delivery with chronopost to Tahiti, it was slow and the tracking is incomprehensible (parcel delayed, parcel delayed again etc...). It was slow and the tracking was incomprehensible (parcel delayed, parcel delayed again, etc., parcel entered the destination country then returned to France in a few hours, etc.), especially as I paid for a service so that I could receive the parcel quickly (less than a week for Tahiti).
I have never had any regrets about ordering from ldlc. They are very serious, excellent quality products and I would advise anyone with firm eyes to put their trust in ldlc.
I installed it with some difficulty and was disappointed by the interface when I played films on hdd. No film titles, no folders either and playback blocks. Not great for that, otherwise for its primary function of "application etc..." it's probably very good. The other problem is that the remote turns everything on and off (HC amp, TV). For me, this is a negative because I haven't found a way of changing it. I prefer one remote control for one device. In short, I have a few regrets, I prefer a classic multimedia player with an integrated HDD without giving away any brands...
What type of power supply socket? Where can I find an equivalent if the power supply fails?
If Ldlc can help me !
I hesitated for a long time but since I have it everything is easier to increase the volume without having to be in front of a real joy. I've also been able to access all the VOD platforms with spatialized sound.
I was able to install an IR sensor to continue using my universal remote control without any problem.
It's a bit expensive, of course, but after having struggled with a NOKIA streambox developed in Austria and riddled with bugs, I appreciate not having to reboot the box every morning because of an untimely blockage. The price of peace of mind.
This item is exactly what I was looking for, a multimedia platform that can play all my video files.
After trying to save money by buying boxes of various brands that quickly proved unable to work with Amazon Prime, CanalSat or Netflix applications because they didn't have the authorised DRM licences and keys or because they didn't have a good enough SOC integrated system, and were just as quickly abandoned by their too volatile brand, simply copying an old device and slapping a logo on it. Mostly I had wasted time and money.
That's why I decided on the Nvidia Shield-TV-Pro, (the basic version with much less memory being less durable in terms of support and upgrades to ever more demanding applications).
The Nvidia Shield's Tegra-X1 SOC is not the latest or greatest SOC, but it's already far superior and perfectly responsive. It works, it's always maintained and updated, and it's also super fast and responsive when changing media, channels, or even booting the device.
I haven't had the time to explore all the possibilities of this pro shield yet, but as far as video playback is concerned, it does the job; resolution, format, codec, ... So far, everything is running smoothly.
Just what I was looking for to replace my old WD TV box. Numerous apps and modularity.
The pluses:Delivery time respectedQuality item, very good remote controlSupports the main audio and video files. Good connection and navigation in the menus. Very good for those who play 4K on hard drive and streaming.Minuses:Given the cost, an HDMI audio output would have been better.The charger is specific, so if it fails...No switch, so the box turns on as soon as I turn on the switch of the power strip, while all other devices remain off.
I had first ordered my product from Boulanger, since it was marked delivery on the date I had requested and it was marked in stock except that 5 days later they told me that the order could not be honoured and that the product had not been restocked but I absolutely wanted to be delivered on Monday evening and it was already Friday morning!So I cancelled the order and went to the LDLC website and the product was marked Available and deliverable the next day. So I didn't hesitate and my order went very well and I was able to see the evolution of the order and it arrived the next day. !!!!
I was very pleased with the service and my order arrived in good condition and I received it quickly. I highly recommend it. Thank you LDLC.
The NVidia shield TV PRO was a gift to a friend who was using a chromecast, but was not satisfied with it (poor casting from the mobile and impossible to put in a USB stick).
The NVidia shield TV PRO not only made up for the shortcomings she had with the chromecast, but she also appreciated the better picture and sound quality.
The only drawback in her case for the moment is that there is no existing cigarette lighter adapter (which forces her to plug in her transformer when she wants to use it).
Nothing to complain about... Really an indispensable device! Better than any other box on the market!
5 stars because the site is top and serious, fast delivery, product conforms to the description, well packed and well protected
So far, no problems in sight.
Everything corresponds to my expectations and I had to use 30% of its capacities.
This box makes me happy. In addition to the easy playback of mkv of any HD type, I can watch a complete panel of TV bouquets Netflix Amazon Disney + My channel molotov and so on via playstore and as a bonus you have a nice little games console connected to a wbox Bluetooth controller and that's it. In short for me the best multimedia box on the market.
I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product. It's the best Android box for me, coupled with the kodi application and nova videos player my videos via my NAS on my oled, a killer.
I recommend it.
As usual LDLC are pro.
The site is smooth, easy to place an order from a mobile phone and to make the payment. Fast delivery and reception in the DOM-TOM within 5 days. The only problem is the taxes to pay on arrival in addition to the price and shipping costs. This is the only downside that is unpleasant.
Very practical multimedia platform for all VOD !!! The updates are easy, the use is intuitive ... perfect !!!
I have just encountered a problem with the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8Tb external HDD connected to the Nvidia shield pro via USB. This drive starts automatically when it is powered by USB, so when the device it is plugged into starts up. This is quite convenient in most cases. With the Shield there was a problem, due to the device or the 8Tb capacity? I don't know. Still, sometimes everything was fine, the device was visible in Kodi and worked normally. Other times it wouldn't boot and you had to disconnect the power and/or USB, or even restart Shield. But other times the drive would boot but remain stubbornly invisible in Kodi. It was a bit irritating... I had an old external drive with two removable drives, a few years old (Icy Dock), on a PC. I reversed it and put that drive on the Shield and the Backup Plus on the PC. Everything works fine on one side and the other now.
I would like to thank you for the great service and the great quality of the product. But the purpose of the review is about the product and here I would like to be able to give two different ratings...
- The product's features are excellent for everything I tested, except for the game part which I have no interest in. The different video formats I have in my library are all recognized. The quality is impeccable. The ease of use is made a bit obscure by the multiplicity of functions, but that's the evil of the moment... Still, 5 stars.
- On the other hand the documentation... Nothing in the box, not even a "Quick start". I'm going to get it from Nvidia, but not only is it rudimentary, it can only be consulted online. I didn't find a pdf version, which would still be a minimum. I also feel like saying "A product made by Geeks for Geeks" because why do we take for granted that everyone knows Kodi or Plex? I'm a computer scientist so by searching the web I was able to gather the necessary information. But could we think about pre-installing these applications or at least talking about them in the first lines of what I hesitate to call a manual. So for this aspect it will be just one star, and that's well paid.
So, in the end, I don't regret my purchase at all, on the contrary, but I find that there is really more than a lack of documentation, quite simply a disregard for the average user.
This box is very fast and fluid. It has allowed my smart TV, which is getting old, to display video and network content with disconcerting simplicity and top quality.
I am quite impressed by the fluidity of the menus, the multitude of applications available... In short, I'm completely renewed.
Be careful however to already have a RJ45 network cable and an HDMI cable on hand or to order them. These are not included in the box and are essential for a smooth experience on the TV.
The box we received contains a remote control (with batteries included), an AC adapter for power and the Nvidia Shield Pro box of course. No joysticks or cradle, but the box can be held flat without worry.
This box costs a certain amount of money, it's true, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the price skyrocket soon when there are none left in stock at professional retailers such as LDLC.
As for the delivery, I received my package in less than 48 hours.
I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure I'd be able to get it to work for me, so I'm not sure I'd be able to get it to work for me.
The nvidia shield is a great tool and not many games are offered free of charge, otherwise there is nothing more to say.
The product is very good with a superb image quality, nice design and remains discreet, the intensity of the led is adjustable.
However, the handling is average: you have to learn to use the remote control and the navigation is not the greatest.
But above all, it is not possible to install all the applications you want, a restriction on the available applications is made (also tested with the different installation methods available on the net). Then, I would have liked to be able to use the shield as a hotspot (possible with other products).
I did not test the games, the controller is an option at 70€ (not available at LDLC).
I was amazed by the nvidia shield TV pro, it gives me satisfaction. I haven't tried the games yet but for the rest wow. It's a treat. I've had android boxes but this is the ultimate of all boxes.
It works even if the Android TV world is a bit limited.
I decode movies on a hard drive without any problem.
Applications, Mycanal, Netflix and VLC ok.
Good video quality.
Works very well!
The interface is responsive, the store is quite well supplied!
Replaces the playstation 4 for what is streaming (netflix, wakanim, disney+, amazon prime, ...)
And the family really appreciates it because the playstation 4 makes a hell of a noise whereas the shield is completely silent.
It also acts as a Plex server if needed which is not bad at all.
I appreciate being able to put it on a wire!
I find the product too expensive (I think it should be around 150 ~ 180€) but I don't regret my purchase.
Very good product under android, allows to have most of the useful application on his TV, versatile and easy to use
very happy with the nvidia shield product
happy to have collected it
I think I'll buy other products on ldlc
I'm very happy with this product.
product ordered from reunion
Negative points
1) Power supply made in Nvidia, I would prefer USB-C.
In case of failure, you have to order one from Nvidia.
2) Basic functions such as HDR10+, HLG or HDR to SDR are missing, therefore it is not possible to disable HDR.
3) The upscaling function with AI, does not work in all applications. The result is not always as good.
4) There are still many apps and games that are not compatible with Android TV, many of them are still missing in Google Play for ATV.
5) I wish Nvidia Shield had a Nvidia optimised video/audio player by default. (containing the Tegra codec library).
6) It is not possible to monitor temperatures or CPU usage in applications.
Positive points
1) Smooth system
2) Possibility to install some ARM64 bit applications like KODI or Nova player.
3) Powerful Plex server with HW acceleration.
4) Interesting for gamers.
5) Possibility to connect network drives.
6) Nice remote control.
7) 2x USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0b.
LDLC always on top.
The only drawback of the NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO is that it is difficult to get it delivered in France. I myself waited more than 2 months. But once I received it, what a joy... It's small and not very bulky, but it delivers top of the range performance. It's more expensive than the Chinese Android boxes, but it's really worth it. The upscaling function with AI is a real plus visible on the screen.
This shield is capable of reading everything, I use it mainly for plex, coupled with my Synology server, as well as youtube and molotov.
Everything works great, it is more expensive than the competition but well worth it.
I like the new remote and they finally changed the battery category to power it, before it was small flat batteries that didn't last 1 month, now it's AAA I think.
There is a real plus compared to the previous version:
supports HDR , BT2020, Dolby Atmos, DTS X .
.... for those who have a complete system supporting these functions!
And for the others, the integrated I. A. improves the rendering of 720p and 1080p formats.
I recommend this product.
Of all the boxes I have tested this is really the best.
I use it mainly for video and have never come across a film that it doesn't link to.
I really recommend it.
5 stars because simply the ultimate box to do everything you want with your TV IPTV, multimedia gateway, 100 mbit/s streaming so no lag, and the box during the navigation on the application etc does not present any lag or even micro slowdown it is sublime what to say in negative comment??? lol frankly there is none!!!
It is very responsive and can play a 1080p movie without any problems.
No connectivity issues.
The buttons on the remote control light up when the remote is moved or manipulated, which is quite handy.
I took the pro version to stream my games. For the stream, it's really worth it. For the geforce now, we'll see in the long run because for now, not much. Some latency on the image and on the controllers. We'll see about the rest. As I have an androidTV, it's a double use. But at least, for this price, it's still interesting.
Not at the level of the latest Bionic and Snapdragon/Exinos
It still lacks power to really run Dolphin (Gamecube/Wii Emulator) but better than the old Tegra anyway, it must be said.
Not stratospheric either, especially since the 2017 gen is overclockable...
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the Shield as a desktop computer, but it's a good idea to use the Shield as a desktop computer, because it's not a good idea to use the Shield as a desktop computer, but it's a good idea to use the Shield as a desktop computer.
That's why I kept my good old pure Android box Minix U9H next to it, which is a real little computer compared to the Shield.
The interface is very intuitive with the remote control and without airmouse.
It's a great way to get the most out of your XboxoneX controller, and it's a great way to get the most out of your XboxoneX controller.
The AI upscaler you new Tegra X1+ works wonders coupled with my DVDO IscanMini Upscaler and my Screeneo 2.0
On FullHD source, a buddy of mine who has a full 4k projo (without crappy Wobulation and blurred like on the Xiaomi's) told me that the rendering/pickup was very close to what he had with his projector.
Only the brightness/contrast is not as good but that's to be expected, the screeneo 2.0 was never the best in this respect and it was released in 2016.
To sum up, it's the best Android TV box but for the next generation, Nvidia should make it rootable and multibootable in Android Pure/TV and improve the CPU part even more.
This Nvidia Shield TV pro is an evolution of the 2017 without revolution however, the evolution is in the more powerful processor and in its better capacity to refine the details of the films and series which you look at, you will clearly see a difference, the new remote control is better than the old one, the backlighting is a + and it is personnalisable duration and intensity! The new remote is better than the old one, the backlight is a plus and it's customizable! I recommend it! I'm sure you'll find it very useful and I'm sure you'll find it very useful. LDLC always at the top for years.
This product fully meets my expectations. The image enhancements are very good, without going overboard. The menu is very fluid. The device is quite expensive, but it's not a bad deal. Thanks LDLC for the shipping to the DOM.
The best Android box.
Displays 4K without any problem. New remote control is quite effective. Instant start / stop in standby mode. Smooth 1080p gaming, like on a console.
This is a media player that does its job excellently! The AI software for playing HD videos is very good! I would have given it a 10 if the automatic frame rate 24,50,60 hz was effective with Netflix
I am very pleased with this product which links everything together, it was a little difficult to set up but it was easy to understand and I will soon have another one in the room...
Superb everything is managed by the Shield, games, TV, external amplifiers, CEC... Very complete box. Compared to LDLC: super fast shipping two days after ordering I received the device so nothing to say!!!!
