The Nvidia Shield TV Pro is a tiny little thing, given the power it packs.
It's fantastic, and transformative for content that's running below 4K resolution.
What is disappointing is the price – for the same cost as the older Shield TV Gaming edition, the Shield Pro really only adds a processor bump and a nifty upscaling feature.
