The NVIDIA Shield Android TV Pro normally costs $199.99, but today Amazon has slashed the price by 15% to $169.99. This is the best price we’ve seen on Amazon Prime Day and the lowest price ever. Without a doubt, this is one of the most, if not the most, powerful 4K HDR Android streaming media players you’ll find on the market.

The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro features an NVIDA Tegra X1 CPU (the same processor found in the Nintendo Switch), 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of onboard storage. In terms of performance and versatility, the Shield Pro beats Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, and Chromecast, and pretty much any other media player, hands down. It’s also extremely format-friendly; it supports every audio codec, including Hi-Res Lossless, and almost all video codecs (except AV1). It’s also compatible with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus, as well as 4K Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 (not HDR10+).

The Shield Pro is one of the few devices that supports GeForce Now, so you can stream your PC games to your TV without having to own a gaming PC. A remote PC does all the processing work for you, and all you need is a fast internet connection. The Shield Pro is also the best streaming device for anyone who still has a large library of local media content. It has a built-in Plex server, so you can organize all your digital media in one central location.

If you are looking for only Stream 4K movies and TV shows from popular apps, there are plenty of other solid – and less expensive – options these days. But if you’re looking for a device that can do a lot more, like act as a central server for your localized media, or stream lots of lossless Hi-Fi or Atmos audio content, or play PC games without a huge investment, or if you’re simply not part of the Apple ecosystem yet, then the Shield TV Pro is still the most powerful and versatile choice on the market.
