Everyone has their own way to play games, watch movies and play games. For example, you have a PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC to play games on your favorite series you see Chromecast on your TV and listen to music on your phone via Spotify. That can all in one device. NVIDIA has therefor the SHIELD Android TV Box placed on the European market. In America, this device already available in time, but now we can enjoy as European consumers. The big question is whether you should bring home this new stream device.
The SHIELD runs on a modified version of Android, making it possible for all the applications you know from your phone also you use SHIELD. That’s a nice extra, but not why you should buy this device. Namely that you do for the other functions. The showpiece of the SHIELD is the ability to stream 4K. This works best in conjunction with a Netflix account. Netflix supports include a number of series in 4K, for example, the latest season of House of Cards.
Als you do not have so on series, then it is also possible to start playing by means of the SHIELD. This is done through GeForce Now. In addition, you do need an account from a tenner a month. When you have that, it is possible to stream all games to your device. The greatest danger of streaming to a device like this is the lag that you have. After much testing I must say that it was a terribly bad. In fact, you’re actually not bother. The input you give via the controller, is directly translated to the screen. Unfortunately, not the latest games available. Do not expect to see The Division of Quantum Break can play through the SHIELD. It is possible to Borderlands:. The Pre-Sequel and Tomb Raider to play
In addition to these two options, it is also possible to stream music via the SHIELD. For this you start the Spotify app and you can then play your favorite music on your TV. The music also comes from the remote control. This makes it possible to listen to music while walking through the house. It is thereby possible to stream through NVIDIA to Twitch. In addition, it is possible to stream games through your PC. Steam games can by using your Wi-Fi streamed to another screen.
De SHIELD comes with a controller. If you already have an Xbox One controller, you can also connect it to the SHIELD. A remote control is also available, but you must purchase separately. The controller itself is very light and therefore somewhat cheap feel. The controller is called a play / pause button and a volume control. However, the controller feels like a mandatory additional. If you have your own controller, it is that of finer pieces. The remote feels much better. The buttons feel more natural and the 3.5 mm jack connector, it is possible to walk through the house while you listen to music.
It should be said that the SHIELD is a real powerhouse. Competitors like Apple TV are much less powerful. This is due to the Tegra X1 which is in the SHIELD. Through this card, the streaming device 2.5 times as powerful as the Apple TV.
De SHIELD Android TV Box is a very powerful device that transforms your favorite TV episodes, and music in the highest quality on your screen. You have to take into account a nice price tag for the full package, you pay namely 249 euros. The full bevt the SHIELD, controller, remote and 500 GB internal memory. For 199 euros you have the basic package containing the SHIELD and a controller. Add to that the monthly cost for the games and a Netflix account and you are 20 euros per month lighter. If you can afford it easy and looking for a device that provides all your streaming needs, the NVIDIA SHIELD is the device that you have to get home.
