The non pro can't run 64 bit apps. I'm speculating that's the reason but I haven't played a single game on this thing as I bought it as a streaming device. The hardware is EXACTLY the same minus 1GB of RAM which is why most people think its unable to but Nvidia has never confirmed this. It's worth the extra money for the pro, trust me. you may not think you need the two USB ports now but they certainly come in handy. The micro SD card on the non-pro is impossible to get to without taking the HDMI input or output cord out. USB storage is also way, way cheaper. I also noticed they had it listed on the chart as HDMI 2.0b. For the minimal hardware changes I think the pro should be 2.1 but that's just a minor complaint. This is more for "future proofing" it although no tech product is really future proof.
@@llllIlIIIIlll You won't really notice the difference unless you use a big enough screen or an hmd, the difference of a 1k vs a 4k video is night and day.

yes and no. those neuronal networks work by interpreting the context of the picture. It basically adds information that probably fits at that place. so its higly dependend on the source quality and the training patterns. Faces for example are pure nightmare for a lot networks, even if the picture is exposed well and in focus, because those are mostly trained on nature photography, etc. and even if you use a specialized network, if the face is too small, it will reconstruct it pretty poorly.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Yes, I'm aware that make-believe technology is still make-believe. And I agree that enhance is a stupid word for it. But this seems the closest thing to how computers in crime dramas can magically increase the detail of an image with a limited number of pixels.
The basic concept shown in this video exists since decades. The length of how much people in movies can zoom into an image doesn't make any sense though most of the time.
@@franklinbadge1215 Yeah but the difference is still that in those shows the make-believe tech is apparently pulling up the actual details of the image, because they use this stuff as evidence. The details added in upscaling are completely fabricated and in no way indicative of how the scene the image represents definitely actually looked.
Upscaling Pre-redered Images (any video after decoded), to Upscaling Internally Rendered Graphics; is totally different. This is why this little box can do for Video what only a 20 Series card can do for graphics.
I expect upscaling of Animations/cartoons to be extremely effective since edges and consistency in colors make it very easy for a well trained convolutional network to pick up on lines and scale effectively.
I currently own a Shield and I watch Rick and Morty and I have noticed that the edges get a white outline around the default black outline of the cartoon. It does actually blend very well and makes it pop out more.
Hmm.. Is this the time for me to be a real asshole and say I have 4K Netflix, RUclips Premium, Spotify Premium and TV2 Sumo (Norwegian app) and sometimes Amazon Prime (when new episodes of Grand Tour etc gets released) ?🤔😅 Oh, and I also download 4K uncompressed movies via torrent and movies I really like I buy on 4K Blu-ray, normal Blu-ray and same for music. Download (mp3 and lossless) and sometimes buy on CD and vinyl. And have a high-end combined stereo and home cinema sound system + a 65" 4K TV to play it all on.
Note: If you need to have more than 2 screens streaming at the same time, or a Dolby Atmos sound system, you will NOT want to get a lower tiered plan. The fact that the Shield can upscale the video is not a great reason to downgrade your plan.

As an owner of this, I can tell you that the upscaling is great on everything but text with a thin font. On that, it looks like over-sharpening hell. I'd still recommend it, though.
Thanks, I had the 2017 Pro, and upgraded to the 2019 Pro several months ago. I have never regretted the few extra dollars spent to go to the Shield.

Sarah, head of the "Trending" department over at RUclips, is currently at a bar crying into a vodka martini as she reassesses her career after watching minute 4:15 on this video.
I find it causes aliasing on flash animated cartoons though, yet if you can ignore it still looks nicer overall. Switching to my TV apps feels like taking my glasses off.
@@levygaming3133 I personally have a Note 8 that is now three years old that has a resolution of 2960 x 1440 and costed less than an iPhone at the time. Near all flagship Samsung phones for the past 3 to 5 years have had 2K screens.
I absolutely LOVE my shield TV pro 😁 I'm SOOO glad I invested in this back in 2020. The AI upscaling definitely helps in a lot of situations, although not all of them. But it DEFINITELY makes stuff like anime that was sub 1080p look WAAAYYY better. Like it's extremely noticable. Plus this thing just has a ton of other great features. It's my defacto streaming box for sure. Also, the new updates clean up the UI quite a bit
@@thedislikebutton1907 I don't own a shield, but the upscaling has been said to be integrated into Shield UI, so it is supposedly globally applicable to any app installed on it. Even games. Although since games are being rendered in real-time, I reckon the AI upscaler might not look as good in gaming as it does when watching pre-rendered videos. DLSS is a better upscaler for gaming, but unfortunately I don't believe it's supported on the NVIDIA Shield.

I could see some differences, as he said it doesn't do everything, just enough. But anyway, you have to realise you are watching RUclips which means loads of compression so it is much harder to see the differences
I’m remembering in the early first days of the public acknowledgement of AI, Nvidia had headhunters out looking for people to hire that would help build this stuff. At the time a guy I knew was courted by them and I couldn’t imagine what Nvidia would want with AI, well now I know. This and the RTX audio stuff are awesome
I've got one since they launched back in 2017, and it's been my best gadget purchase in a LONG time. There's simply nothing that comes even close in terms of speed. BTW, I also use it as a NES/SNES/GBA emulator and it's just perfect for that purpose.
Got one about a week ago. Makes my 480p Simpsons look pretty great. Noticeably better than the Disney+ or iTunes upscales. GeForce now works great when hardwired and it comes with a few free games. Best feature for me is the ability to connect 4 Bluetooth controllers. Been playing Mario party with dolphin.
I never thought I would see the day so soon that 1080 would be considered low quality. Especially when the major video game consoles are just now finally getting there lol. But I get it. When I'm working in photoshop designing textures for my Unity projects, I notice the pixels in anything less than 2k. Especially if I'm making clothing or skin textures because even if it's a 4k texture only a small part of it wraps around each body part. You see those pixels blatantly.
Had my shield since 2016 but can't see spending another $200+ on 2019 edition. The power difference in the Integra + chip isn't that much more powerful. Maybe we'll get that in a future update....
Even in 4K on RUclips, you'd probably need to be in front of the screen to notice. Maybe not as close as Linus was sitting. I have one and on HD 1080p stuff it works great. I didn't like the effect it had on older live action movies. I have a digital copy of the first Austin Powers movie and the AI upscaling just looks bad.
I don't see it in the video either on my pc and monitor(1080p only). However I have the shield pro myself, and it's a significant image quality boost. Especially on stuff like watches etc. I'd argue it get's close to the average 4k netflix stream, on a good 1080p source. Of course it may not technically, but looks close to my eyes.
@@LukewarmEnthusiast I don't have the same exact TV, but I have a C6 from a few years back. The TV upscales and my Denon receiver upscales. I tested an SD digital copy of Austin Powers and I didn't like the effect AI upscaling put on the video. I didn't try turning upscaling off through LG and Denon though. Maybe I'll test... but it's kind of a pain.
Three TV's and I've tossed out all other streaming boxes, have a shield on each one. I've used Fire TV, Roku's, Apple TV and even other Android TV boxes.. the shield is the only one that makes me 100% satisfied.. (and being able to map my NAS as local storage is just a HUGE plus that I was not able to do on any other device)
We chucked our tv out and got 2 projectors, one for living room n one for the bedroom. Each has a shield and that is all we need. They are being used daily! A 2015 and 2017 model. I've also tried countless other streaming boxes before. All junk compared to the shield.
@@fahhad17 yeah man so fucking annoyin,all the dudes saying "i watch in 144,360" bla,bla,bla .I don't even slightly believe it as todays tecnology at least has a 720p screen(pc,phone or whatever)
They need this for gaming monitors. They don’t need graphics grinding to pump out 4k, they just need 2k upconverted to 4k! Soon, monitors will have this built in.
Using AI upscaling, I made this video 8K again. As intended by the RED Cameras!

I have the 2019 shield pro , the ai upscaling really works wonders on anime.
I find it causes aliasing on flash animated cartoons though, yet if you can ignore it still looks nicer overall.
Switching to my TV apps feels like taking my glasses off.
Sweet, I'll sub to Suzy Lu... Oh...
you didn't need shield for that github.com/bloc97/Anime4K
Lack of 4k on the RUclips app is a deal breaker for me though.
Only if the animation has the details in the art to even see. Any examples?

There's a playlist on RUclips with Linus beard growth episodes . "The Linus beard saga" 😂
I absolutely LOVE my shield TV pro 😁 I'm SOOO glad I invested in this back in 2020. The AI upscaling definitely helps in a lot of situations, although not all of them. But it DEFINITELY makes stuff like anime that was sub 1080p look WAAAYYY better. Like it's extremely noticable. Plus this thing just has a ton of other great features. It's my defacto streaming box for sure. Also, the new updates clean up the UI quite a bit
Does this work on every video playing? And any app? What about games?
@@thedislikebutton1907 I don't own a shield, but the upscaling has been said to be integrated into Shield UI, so it is supposedly globally applicable to any app installed on it. Even games. Although since games are being rendered in real-time, I reckon the AI upscaler might not look as good in gaming as it does when watching pre-rendered videos. DLSS is a better upscaler for gaming, but unfortunately I don't believe it's supported on the NVIDIA Shield.

the new 3d dark mode intro is amazing!
I've got one since they launched back in 2017, and it's been my best gadget purchase in a LONG time. There's simply nothing that comes even close in terms of speed. BTW, I also use it as a NES/SNES/GBA emulator and it's just perfect for that purpose.

Got one about a week ago. Makes my 480p Simpsons look pretty great. Noticeably better than the Disney+ or iTunes upscales. GeForce now works great when hardwired and it comes with a few free games. Best feature for me is the ability to connect 4 Bluetooth controllers. Been playing Mario party with dolphin.
What source are you using to watch the Simpsons through the Shield if not Disney+ or iTunes? Plex?

TheGcsmith I spent 5 minutes staring very closely at the screen and didn’t notice any difference. Then I remembered I’m on a 1080p monitor.
Idk why but the textures look much better on the ai upscaled version
I never thought I would see the day so soon that 1080 would be considered low quality. Especially when the major video game consoles are just now finally getting there lol. But I get it. When I'm working in photoshop designing textures for my Unity projects, I notice the pixels in anything less than 2k. Especially if I'm making clothing or skin textures because even if it's a 4k texture only a small part of it wraps around each body part. You see those pixels blatantly.

Well there was one, especially in the animated clips, so the issue is on your end.
well first you need a 1440p or 4k panel to TRULY see a difference
In the RUclips video I mean
If your phone doesn't run in 4k, then you can't see what he's showing. Like trying to see 120hz in a review on your phone when it doesn't run at that.
Take notice of faces, textures. My RUclips defaults to 4K-playback. I don't know if you've watched it in high quality or used a lower quality.

Had my shield since 2016 but can't see spending another $200+ on 2019 edition. The power difference in the Integra + chip isn't that much more powerful. Maybe we'll get that in a future update....
When linus said that Netflix reduced its quality, I thought he was talking bout quality of Stories.

"its like night and day" am i blind, i cant tell the difference xD
You're viewing this video in 4K , maybe
yeah you need to watch the video in 4k to really see it
Even in 4K on RUclips, you'd probably need to be in front of the screen to notice. Maybe not as close as Linus was sitting. I have one and on HD 1080p stuff it works great. I didn't like the effect it had on older live action movies. I have a digital copy of the first Austin Powers movie and the AI upscaling just looks bad.
I don't see it in the video either on my pc and monitor(1080p only).
However I have the shield pro myself, and it's a significant image quality boost. Especially on stuff like watches etc.
I'd argue it get's close to the average 4k netflix stream, on a good 1080p source. Of course it may not technically, but looks close to my eyes.
@@LukewarmEnthusiast I don't have the same exact TV, but I have a C6 from a few years back. The TV upscales and my Denon receiver upscales. I tested an SD digital copy of Austin Powers and I didn't like the effect AI upscaling put on the video. I didn't try turning upscaling off through LG and Denon though. Maybe I'll test... but it's kind of a pain.
Ah yes, a dark mode-friendly intro.
Yes! Finally the intro gets the dark mode.

Jason getting ready to buy my second shield, for the next tv in line :) you’re right about that
We chucked our tv out and got 2 projectors, one for living room n one for the bedroom. Each has a shield and that is all we need. They are being used daily! A 2015 and 2017 model. I've also tried countless other streaming boxes before. All junk compared to the shield.
