Haha.. It's long overdue for an upgrade. Nvidia made the Shield TV primarily to show off how their hardware and it's capabilities.. Bet they didn't think it reign over all and for this long. Great for owners though, as support is excellent on account of just one device to focus on.. But yeah, hopefully in a year or 2, they release the Shield 2.. As long as they don't screw it up and improve significantly from the current one, people will have no issues dropping cash for it too.

Just lacking Dolby Vision right?

Yup, DV due to cost and Netflix Atmos which Netflix need to allow it on their app..

There won't be any major upgrade for next Shield codename 'mdarcy' which will still use Tegra X1 but revised version with improved cpu speed, power consumption & may also come with new Wifi 6/Bluetooth 5.0 chip but unfortunately some features will be disable at software level, maybe will be unlocked in future firmware updates.



IMO, the current Shield hardware has yet to reach it's limit and what it needed the most is solid firmware with added features & improvements especially after the kernel update they did last year which will add SMBv3 server support in next or 2nd upcoming update.

Personally, i am more interested in the new devices and accessories that Nvidia is working on under the 'Shield' brand.

Compare this with q10 pro, which one better? Sad thing is both not able to support Dolby vision....

finally with Dolby Vision....sadly i just bought q10 pro on early of Oct T.T

juzmafia already preordered bro?
I wonder if I should wait for controller bundle, assuming there’s a refresh for that as well

I can’t believe they’re still sticking with 16gb storage for base model.

i dont think he can pre-order, as Amazon already remove the link....preorder link is no longer available

Oh i haven’t check the link yet
That was quick by amazon or preorder quota already full.

Hope u have the tv to pair with it

16gb? snobbish company behaving like apple...

yes, my tv able to support DV. i have video source, AV receiver and TV which able to support DV, just lack of media player which support it

good to know

like the name suggest 'BASE MODEL'.
and there is also adoptable storage, so there is no big issue.

Please be noted that there will be new nvidia shield. This one is just a refresh model
