Guys, I plan to get NVIDIA® SHIELD™ TV Pro but not many seller in Malaysia. It cost around USD300 which is not a small amount.

Appreciate if someone give some comment or feedback as this is my first time getting such devices.

Is it worth it to buy through Amazon for my new apartment and pair it with TIME broadband ?

Read a couple pages back to determine if it's for you.. Don't be lazy.. Read 2 or 3 pages also, you'll know.. As for price.. It's the Rolls-Royce of boxes, so you know what they say.. If you are concerned about the price, then it's not for you. biggrin.gif

Let me clarify before you jump into conclusion.

I'm asking for advise if because I this is my first time using an android box. In the past, I don't do so. I always go for mainstream and was being suggested why not try a cheaper alternative.

Secondly, price is not the main issue but more on compatibility to use in Malaysia. Sometime, electronic gadgets get lock down just like phones. Not many post on this matter.

what do u mean by "compatibility to use in Malaysia"?

u wun get good answers if u dun pose gud questions.

describe what u intend to do with the box - what apps, what videos, what games, what peripherals, what audio, what tv..

then only people can respond with useful answers.

I might buy the box for the sake of getting without much use out of it.

I know most ppl here use it for streaming or maybe even gaming but I don't have time for that.

So I cant ans your qst too .. For the time being just display it in living room, play with it by on and off.

Just hope it can work if I ppl come over for a visit and intend to use it I suppose.

Your first question was to ask if it's worth buying from Amazon... Already discussed in the thread.. Last few pages.
- Someone post on the kastam clearance bla bla bla if thats is what you are referring .. I just don't want to go through such hassle if money can settle without troubling me

*Reviews and feedback? Again, it's been discussed. Plus I already hinted about it being the best there out there.
- I can get it from youtube

*Price? Main issue or not. Irrelevant. You will either cough it up or move on to a cheaper box.
- Box also looks stupid with their issue for their troubleshooting

*Compatibility to use in Malaysia? You'd know this if you read even a few pages. Or even browsed anywhere else the Nvidia Shield is talked about.
- No one post on the latest upgrade much on the new OS

I'm sorry, but this doesn't clarify anything. It also doesn't suddenly make my previous advice to you any less relevant. So again, read the previous posts and gather knowledge freely given and available. Even more important you read since you say this is your first time. First rule of noobness, is to ALWAYS do some reading on the device first and ask specific questions that SHOW you've actually done some research and are interested. None here is your paid personal assistant that keeps track of your life choices and wants..  doh.gif

- I'm not here for choice as I know what to get already .. just that both also contain similar if not same issues

pro version dont sell any more
- Link : http://amzn.to/2qziCxs

got problem with sleep issue on HDD and slow boot etc.
- I'm not sure if I'm going to use it or my patience is there

for me, better take normal 2017 is enough, as the price diff can buy u external SSD 120GB, which much cheaper and larger size and much faster read/write than normal HDD.
like mine, i just use 128gb usb3.0 pendrive and set it as internal storage to store games purpose. so far no issue. if u dont games, the internal 16gb is enough for streaming apps.
- Point noted .. Most user do that


i think, if u dont hv time for gaming, its good for streaming( netflix, chromecast etc). but of cos to pricy for just streaming device since u can get mi box for that.
but since u hv budget, why not.
- I buy for my partner to use

yes, if u hv time or unifi much better cos u need those high speed to stream 4k content. ( if ur tv support 4k), else 1080 still require at least 10mbps speed for good buffering
- Not yet buy TV. Just furnish basic item for the house to take adv on 0% GST

What else can be said but good luck with your purchase of a stupid looking product you already decided you want but not sure if you are going to use..But still going to buy anyway cuz money is not not the issue..  icon_rolleyes.gif

I dont know why the word "stupid" appear but isn't it funny that usually stupid ppl comment in a stupid forum particularly on a stupid product ?

The pro version won't shipped to Malaysia. Nvidia stopped production due to certain issues.

I haven't not try the transaction in Amazon yet. If so, I need to ask ppl to get for me or hunt elsewhere.

Thanks again for the reminder on the production

Of course you wouldn't know.. You see, stupid people who think they are clever, will still insist on their "smarts" even though they are stuck in the hole they themselves created. So now, not only is the box stupid, but people in the forum are and even the forum is stupid too?  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  Son, see the screenshot below. It's only been a few hours and you've already forgotten things you've said.. Oh wait, most of your posts are neither constructive or beneficial to the thread. In fact, they are all over the place..  doh.gif  As before.. Enjoy whatever you've been ingesting that impairs your cognitive functions.. Ciao!

Maybe the sentence is not clear in word .. I dont mean the box looks stupid. It is to me because regardless what box one choose to have also have their own "stupid" issues (cons)
