This is second one I've purchased. First one was new, second is used. Works much better than a firestick or an android box until it stops dead! The first one died after 2 1/2 years, with no resurrection no matter what I tried. Another new one was out of my price range. Took a chance on a used one and it works as good as the other one when it worked. Time will tell how this one will hold up. I have a firestick and an android box, but in my own opinion, neither compare to what the shield can do.

I have large 4K and 1080p files I play from my external hard drive and every app I tried, Kodi, MX Player and VLC, had the audio out of sync with the video after awhile. I chose bitstreaming in the settings of the Shield as well as within the apps and only one app actually sent the HD audio codecs to my receiver, but the other two didn't. This is great for people who don't have smart TVs and those who mainly stream from online sources. However, those who are into lossless, high bitrate video and audio will be inevitably disappointed! I will go back to viewing movies from my external HDDs on my HTPCs without all of these problems.

It's very easy to set up. The only con so far is the remote for volume control. I already own the NVIDIA SHIELD Pro and the remote is way better. It lights up when using which is great in a dark room. The volume control buttons also work way better.

Two things: features and speed. Could use a little extra storage but that can be solved by adding and external hard drive or thumb drive. In comparison to the cheap Chinese box I tried, this is a gladiator.

Very happy with device. Reason for giving 4 stars is original remote has limited functional controls. Get 2019 remote which is compatible with older units. I am not a gamer, hence I cannot comment on game controller.
