I am enjoying.

Yup very great on streaming Netflix, Movies iTunes, thanks for the no pre-buffer issue and also the auto switch off color space and frame rate.

Yup they is no perfect box, actually they is no perfect thing in this world.

You need to paid shipping fees and some tax depends on product.

Just open account and try your self then you get the actual price. Amazon let you do final confirmation before actual charging you, you can know total cost before place the final order confirmation.

I install Rotation Control and it is working, but I am using Mi Box.

You should thanks Nvidia Shield give you power off function.

They is no power off function in my 2 TV Box - Mi Box and Apple TV 4K.

Wonder whose idea TV Box should be always on and in standby mode when not watching.
I prefer power off when not using, what for standby it.

I never let any of my Electrical devices in standby mode (except fridge), I always off it when not using.

Apple TV remote is not on off, it is on and standby. It never actual off the Apple TV.

Mi Box also can on and standby using remote just same as Apple TV but not actual off it also.

Both device is only On and Standby and no way to proper off it.

Now I Standby it and later switch off the power but I doubt this is proper off.

Because you choose Power Off. When Power off it is totally turn off the device where impossible the remote can turn it on.
That the reason you need to go unplug the cable (where you from, why need unplug, I know certain country don't have on off switch button in power plug but definitely not in Malaysia). In Malaysia we just need to turn off the power plug switch.

If you choose standby then is different story, all electrical devices only able to wake up by remote when in standby mode (Not power off mode).

I know this, is another person sonypshomer confuse on this.

sonypshomer go deep inside the system and choose power off and assume later can power on back by remote control. This definitely cannot because it is totally turn of the devices. When using remote to power off, it actually send standby signal to the device ask for sleep instead of completely turn off the device.

I know sonypshomer confuse the differences of actual power off and power off by remote because sonypshomer said later can turn back the Apple TV after "power off" from Apple TV Remote. This can because it is "power off" to standby mode not completely turn off the device.

I know all those. Standard is standby not totally power off.

My Mi Box can Standby. It is very standard.

I just point out why he purposely go deep inside the Nvidia Shield system to total power off it instead of power button at remote to "power off" it which is actually standby it.

Yaya agree.


Thanks for the explanation.

Yup, it is the best so far in Android TV Box.

Yup absolutely correct.

Mi Box is just a cheap version of Nvidia Shield. Both is same but Nvidia Shield came with very capable and powerful hardware where Mi Box a bit under power.

Hi, did anyone know anyplace at Johor Bahru area selling NVIDIA SHIELD TV PRO 2019 and got stock.

Congratulate.

Glad you like it, I didn't own it yet but I know it will be awesome.
Can't find a valid reason to replace my Apple TV 4K box yet. Haha!

I only recommended Nvidia Shield or Apple TV 4K if budget not an issue. Haha!

I mostly use for local content and Apple TV 4K did a brilliant job.

Too many people though Apple is more in stream and strict control on local content.

Frank speak this is not the case, Apple had freaking well support on local content.
I had 3000+ local films and 99% most of my 4K HDR collection is REMUX copy and Apple TV 4K never fail me at all.

It support full lossless track by direct playback all track in multi channel PCM format, this is good as you no need to worried your sound system support or not all the format, you just need to ensure your system support multi channel PCM format. This help for DTS-HD as my Soundbar not support it, but due to Apple auto render to Multi-channel PCM, this make me no worried on DTS-HD track.

Ya you do miss the Atmos because now Apple only support Atmos in DD+ but not Atmos in TrueHD but this is not very huge differences as I had personally compare with original 4K UHD blu-ray which run as Atmos, and frank speak it is not very big differences at all.

That the reason I don't find the need of replace it because Apple TV 4K also support Lossless track pass through as well as nearly all type of HDR passthru, this include HDR10, Dolby Vision and also HLG HDR.

You talk on Dolby Vision passthru for local content? Nearly 100% local content is not Dolby Vision but only HDR10 because Dolby Vision unable to remux out, you need a full 4K UHD blu-ray for Dolby Vision and not much people doing this.

Also I find Dolby Vision is not that big differences as well, thanks to LG's own proprietary HDR solution which process HDR signal dynamically frame by frame using enhanced dynamic tone mapping. This process make the normal HDR and Dolby Vision basically no different. I had compare it as well and I can't notice the different. Dolby Vision in LG OLED Cinema mode do far darker than normal HDR Cinema mode which is not my liking, thanks to LG give alternate option where once you change LG OLED of Dolby Vision to Home Cinema instead of Cinema, it is like exactly LG OLED of HDR in Cinema mode.

Now the only issue is I don't have any device capable to smoothly playback the only 8K HDR film I have, it is a documentary call "Wunderkammer: World of Wonder", probably my next TV Box will be need to support 8K HDR playback. Haha!

I will buy the Nvidia Shield if this TV Box can playback 8K HDR film as currently my Apple TV 4K only manage to playback around 12 mins but then it will crash! Haha! My few years ago Core i7 with Nvidia Geforce GTX-970M laptop is playing the film like 5 fps. My LG C9 direct connect the HDD is unplayable, it said format not support.
