What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Nvidia Shield TV Pro

Based on one whitelisted hands-on review (TechRadar). It calls the Nvidia Shield TV Pro the best streaming box on the market for its unrivalled 4K HDR playback, AI upscaling and gaming features, but flags weaker value now that the same price no longer includes the bundled controller. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Unrivalled 4K HDR streaming with wide Android TV app support; Excellent AI upscaler that sharpens sub-4K content; Strong gaming features via GeForce Now and GameStream.

Flagged: Poor value: same price as prior gen but no longer ships with a controller; Android TV interface has a learning curve and needs finessing; No storage boost over the previous generation.

Xiaomi TV Box S (3rd Gen)
