The current generation Nvidia Shield Android TV Pro was released back in 2019 and uses the same Nvidia Tegra X1 CPU found in the Nintendo Switch console. Despite the fact that it's several years old, Nvidia still officially supports this device and regularly releases updates for it. The 3GB of onboard RAM and 16GB of built-in storage might sound outdated, but make no mistake the Shield TV Pro blows the Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, Chromecast, and just about every other media player out of the water in terms of performance and functionality. It's capable of handling 4K video with Dolby Vision HDR from all of your favorite streaming apps as well as Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus audio support.
The Shield TV Pro is also one of the only streaming devices that supports GeForce Now, which allows you to stream your PC games to your TV without having to own a gaming PC. A remote PC handles all of the intensive GPU load, so all you need is a fast internet connection. The Shield TV Pro even has a built-in Plex server so you can organize all of your digital media in one centralized location. Seriously, what more can you cram into this device?
