Here's another chance to pick up the NVIDIA SHIELD TV with 4K HDR for an all-time low price of $149. Since its initial offering back in 2015, Nvidia has been crushing it with software support for both generations of the Shield TV. Today, another software update is rolling out to Nvidia Shield owners which adds Xbox Elite Controller support and more.
It makes no noise at all while running that I was at a time wondering if I was using an android TV box as from my experience, most Android TV boxes tend to make some noises when using it and it might ruin the entire experience of using the media stream player.



On top of all that, Shield supports the popular media center software Kodi without the arcane sideloading methods that Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV require, and the $40 SmartThings Link is an inexpensive way to connect all kinds of smart home devices.
With Google Chromecast we can play streaming content on our screen controlled by means of another device such as a phone or tablet, the good thing about this device is that it is compatible with Netflix HD or 4K, HBO and other streaming services, although it is not compatible with Amazon Prime Video.

The fire TV stick also supports the Dolby Digital plus and with the right sound systems, I really enjoyed it. The video playback is also impressive as I tried to play a variety of videos on it; it played the 480p and 720p perfectly though it lagged a little while playing 4K with it.
It also has an Nvidia Kepler GPU and 2.2 GHz quad-core CPU within giving it a fair bit of grunt, but it can also access the GeForce Now supercomputers via the cloud, and an enormous gaming library via the same method, enabling you to play on the go, sometimes at 60fps.
RetroArch is a great emulator that can adapt easily to various game engines and media players, and is fully compatible with the Nvidia Shield TV. This emulator allows you to run classic games from a good looking user interface that organizes your game collection in one easily accessible screen.

As we all know, Netflix is one of the best providers of video streaming services today and in as much as it supports Ultra High Definition video playback, not all devices are given the priviledge to be able to view Netflix but Nvidia is given the permission to play Netflix contents.
Fire TV models that are able to configure the remote's power and volume buttons are the Fire TV Stick 2 , Fire TV Stick 4K , Fire TV 3 (Pendant) , and Fire TV Cube You can use any of those devices to set up the power and volume buttons prior to pairing the remote with the Shield TV.
The base version, which sells for $200, includes just 16GB of storage, but $300 gets you 500GB, along with MicroSD and Micro USB slots The included controller — which Nvidia has revamped — provides a familiar feel to experienced console gamers, and the device also supports most other Bluetooth controllers out there, including Sony's DualShock 4 and Xbox One controllers.
