thank you for this. I have the 2015 and it is still used every single day for live TV and movies. I will be upgrading to the 2019 pro as my new TV supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on Netflix doesn't work on the 2015 model. Still a 5year old device which is used 11 hours a day is still working great!
I didn't really hear much about the 2015 against the others here. Any more direct opinion on measuring up the 500gb version of that compared with the 17/19 models?
@@magicgsuk6312 Just in case if you still need assistance... You'll have to clone your Nvidia shield internal hdd to an SSD using HDD guru raw tool utility and to avoid interference do that in windows safemode. One of the youtubers made a clear video on this so it should help. I did it last week and was worried however everything is sorted.
Do the older models run Kodi flawless with no lag or sluggish issues? I have a mecool box and it is very sluggish, I have no more patience for it. I am looking for an android box just for Kodi (it is sluggish on my TV as well and I don't want to charge my TV with it), I thought this could be a good option.
Es muy curioso lo de la Shield tv, lo normal es que en cada iteración de un mismo producto las versiones más actuales deberían traer más cosas y mejoras, esto no sucede para nada entre la del 2015 y la del 2017, en la del 2017 le quitaron dos puertos importantes, y l microUsb que era otg y el slot de microSd, almenos conservaron la versión de 500GB pero siguieron conservando el disco duro cuando la mejora sería un ssd. Ahora con la versión del 2019 hay una mejora pero termina ser lastrada por la ram. Tiene la nueva versión del Tegra X1 mejorado con más potencia y todo pero ni siquiera le subieron a 4GB de ram y lo peor que hicieron muy aparte de seguir capando los puertos es que solo hay de 16gb a la que ahora llaman Pro, y ni siquiera metieron el puerto microSd. La verdad me desilusiono mucho la última versión y si alguien quiere comprarse un modelo yo le recomiendo la del 2015, esta te viene con gamepad, la del 2017 no la recomiendo para nada y la última tampoco.
I got the 2015 Version mainly at release with a controller but no remote and 2 weeks later you got the unit with booth at the same price .... However i did look up to the newer versions and to me it seems the newer ones did not improve, they did downgrade but became more expensive. The 2015 Version came in regular and pro version. The Pro had a harddrive inside you did not need because of the SD slot. So you could just fine upgrade storage space. 2017 version was smaller but did drop the SD Slot and the importent infrared receiver. Yeah it got a new controller but the unit itself was a downgrade. 2019 the normal version was now a round tube and gut a downgrade in RAM and storage. Came with some "updated" chip, new remote and ai upscaling. Mainly another downgrade, only the way more expensive pro version had the specs of the 2017 normal shield. So basicly the best version of the shield was the regular 2015 one. Mine still works fine. Sure the old controller and old remote is not that fancy but you can use other controllers and remotes and you also have a remote app from Nvidia.
my 2017 did an update, and now stuck on boot logo. Can't reset it via any method. It's dead. Controller battery dead to. Need a new one ill just get the tube version.
@@tyhome1 Yes. Yes it does. Benched mine at 880 down and 950 up. Brilliant, hard to get machine that will increase in value. So glad I bought mine when I did.
I made that decision last month and when almost no difference in performance,. I got the last model as it came with the game controller. I didn't just buy it for streaming but games as well.
Great comparison - Both my 2015 & 2017 models still running great - won't be upgrading anytime soon as don't need the extra features of the 2019 models
They seem to be getting worse with each new model. The 2017 model removed the microSD port and the 2019 removed 1GB of ram from the regular revision. Other than that Nvidia hasn't changed the hardware since it launched in 2015. Ps. The 2019 baton looking model looks ugly as f**k. I'm not sure whether or not to play movies or ring toss.
Don't know about you but personally I find it mind-numbingly stupid that they would switch the tablet to a TV box. Unless the PR and marketing department just doesn't like to show other images of it's features besides being only a TV box. I still have all of the original prototyped versions "Nvidia Shield Portable, Nvidia Shield Tablet K1, and Nvidia Controller" before they switched it to a TV box only. Though from the wiki if it is accurate I reckon they sacrificed for the greater good for the Nintendo Switch community. Still works though won't be getting any more software updates. #ItIsWhatItIs #Namaste 🙏🏼 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Shield_Portable en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_Tablet
Hello Roberto, Great review! 4 years later, now March 2021, do you think the 2017 model is still a good option to take into account? Is there any room left for next years?... Thank you very much in advance. Take care...
Father Christmas is getting me the new Pro as I do not have never had the Nvidea. I hope it is worth it as he has a long way to come from Lapland. Great review but there is no mention about the Integra X1 and the X1plus no difference in the 2017 & 2019 so the plus is a bit of a con as you get nothing more as I can see, please advise me on this if you know different Roberto. Happy Xmas to you and the family. Keep em coming!!!
2019 Remote not so incredible. It is very hard on your hand muscles if held for any length of time. The older chocolate bar styles are much more comfortable (too bad the 2015 remote’s internal battery died so early). All that said though, I would almost advocate for replacing the newer 2019 remote with the remote from or for the Fire Stick. It works almost 100% and is ergonomically better.
I bought the pro in 2015 and it was excellent but since the hardware was never upgraded i think it became overpriced in 2017 and way overpriced in 2019
The 2017 and 2019 is exactly the same. That plus in the 2019 chipset gives you nothing but in the 2017 version you even get a game pad för less money 🤔
Oh, thanks for this comment. I don't own any of these but I have seen 2017 for sale quite cheap now. Wasn't sure with one to get between 2017-2019 cos I want something that supports 4K mkv or TS files off the USB hard drive.
you can always buy the remote that comes with the 2019 Shield, and use it on the older versions, it works just fine.
thank you for this. I have the 2015 and it is still used every single day for live TV and movies. I will be upgrading to the 2019 pro as my new TV supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on Netflix doesn't work on the 2015 model.

I am looking to purchase one. Which one do you recommend. 2015, 2017 or 2019?
Hi roberto, the 2017 model will continue to get updates?
Does the 2019 models still have the screen recording feature
2015 is a great buy if you can find it. SD card support is really a big difference maker for me vs the 2017 edition
Does the 2017 model have the latest android tv updates ?
the 500gb model is best. switch the drive out for a ssd and its the best thing ever.
Can ya give us a guide how to do that?

Nice video. I have 2015 pro 500GB, still great imo.
DUDE where u get that desk..... i Been looking for a L desk to fit my 49in super ultra wide for a while.
My sheild from 2017 has no AI upscaling in the menu 😕

Shield 2015 wins!
I am bit confused about ai image thing your video did not help i only have 1080p tv so does the ai needed for me?
It'll still work with your tv the only thing is that the app that your using has to be compatible with the ai feature
no it's for 21st century tv's.
How about 2021 ver?

OK. What's the price performance of this box?
Got my 2017 nivida the other week I love it works a treat
Trust me you got the best one... I too own it.
Doc Holliday Does it have Gigabit Ethernet speed?
@@tyhome1 Yes. Yes it does. Benched mine at 880 down and 950 up. Brilliant, hard to get machine that will increase in value. So glad I bought mine when I did.
I think the 17 is the best

Nvidia Shield TV Pro or Beelink GT King Pro, which is better to buy, leaning towards the shield but not totally convinced yet
Nvidia Shield TV Pro is the better option

Exactly, the only "upgrades" since 2015 are to cut production costs
Put some 💋 on it

You are amazing. Thank you for this video ❤
If i buy the 2019 one, can i get the controller and be able to play games on it?
Yes
You wouldn't need to, it also works with Bluetooth controllers as well, like the Xbox one controller.
@@shutitfukface Xbox one doesn't have Bluetooth. The controllers work over WiFi.
@@bladesman83 2016 models onwards have Bluetooth built in.I use it on my Firestick & Nexus tablet.:-)
Great video 👍🏼
I have the 2015 of 500gb !!! And I think that is so Good. That I think that will be a waste of $$ to upgrade

What an anticlimax - pls comment on Dolby Vision Atmos HDR etc
Does the 2017 have Dolby vision 4k?
Google

Nope but hdr10 is really good on it
Get the Nvidia Shield TV 2019 edition
no usb port = deal breaker
@@jackt7331 that sucks. Does the pro model has it?

Great comparison Roberto. A suggestion if I may. No reason to have background music. It is unnecessary, distracting and annoying.

2015 model is powerful vs other models., 2015 is much strong and better for gaming .
Thank you friend.
Good video
is $60 for a 2015 model a good deal?
Good deal
Hella good deal.
Found a 17 for 150
I just bought one for 50 euro. Works very good!

Holly crap you are speaking in English lol
fake 16GB of internal memory is like nothing
this jumps between 2 cams not cool
2019 model isnt much of an upgrade your getting less for the same
