The Best Streaming Player
Shield TV launched in 2015 as the flagship Android TV device. It was the first to support 4K Netflix, then first with 4K HDR Netflix, first with 4K HDR Prime Video and more, always leading the industry in features and performance. Four years later and over 22 software upgrades later, Shield has established itself as the best streaming media player. This year, we will be introducing the next generation of Shield devices, designed to continue our leadership in the streaming player category.
These are the core reasons why customers choose Shield TV. The know that they are getting a blazing fast processor that leads to a snappy and smooth experience; the best picture and sound quality – 4K HDR and more; as an open platform supporting all ecosystem partners (Google + Amazon for example). Third, Shield is trusted to deliver the most entertainment. With Shield it’s not just movies and TV, but also games… and the best games you can play like Fortnite. Finally, they know Shield is always the first to get updates, whether new features and technologies or new Android OS upgrades.
Fastest Performance
The 2019 SHIELD TV line-up uses a new Tegra X1+ processor with even faster graphics and AI performance than the previous generation. This enables Shield to continue to have snappier performance and high-end gameplay, not available on other streaming boxes like Roku Ultra, Fire TV Cube, and other Android TV devices like Mi Box S. It also opens up the door to new AI capability which we will talk about in a moment.
Best Picture & Sound
Shield is taking picture quality and sound to the next level with the new Shield line-up, offering a truly cinematic experience. The new products will include both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos provide amazing realism that you’ll see, hear, and feel.
Dolby Vision is the gold standard for HDR. It delivers ultra-vivid picture quality — incredible brightness, contrast, and colour.
Dolby Atmos is the gold standard in Audio. It delivers immersive, moving audio seems to flow all around you; Precisely places and moves sound around you in 3D space.
The new Shield also now supports decode support for Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) and continues to support TrueHD pass-through.
Over 500 Titles in Dolby Vision & Atmos
But Shield didn’t stop there. Some boxes added Dolby Vision and Atmos support but lacked the apps and content to enjoy it. Shield comes certified to watch over 500 titles in Dolby Vision & Atmos from Amazon, Vudu, and Netflix.
The Era of AI
We love to be first with ground-breaking technology, taking streaming to the next level. By equipping Shield with a high-performance processor, we have been able to innovate in ways that other low-end streamers simply can’t.
You have probably seen all of the hype around AI driving the greatest technology advancements in history: New internet services, like Google Assistant, have learned speech from sound. Self-driving cars use deep learning to recognize the space around them. Neural networks trained with millions of medical images find clues in MRIs that previously required invasive biopsies. You may have also wondered how and when AI will start to impact your life more directly. You have probably also heard that NVIDIA is helping to power this AI revolution with its processors, delivering the intense GPU computing performance required for AI.
AI Upscaling
NVIDIA is now bringing AI-powered upscaling to your TV to deliver better picture quality. Shield uses the power of AI and deep learning to train a neural network on a database on video content and then use the power of Tegra X1+ GPU to run the algorithm in real-time to create crisp, clear video enhanced to 4K resolution, never-before possible.
This allows users to watch content like YouTube videos or 720 broadcasts, captured in SD (480/540) or HD (720) and upscale them to 4K resolution to create a crisper picture.
The Most Entertainment
Shield is an open streaming platform. Its philosophy is to be open to all streaming content from all ecosystems and not to push one ecosystem more than another. As a result, it boasts more 4K content across top services than other streamers and over 5000+ apps. 4K content doesn’t stop at TV, Shield also supports games up to 4K.
Another example of Shield being open is Music services. No other streaming offers music across all of these top services.

Instant Access to AAA Games
And last but not least, Shield delivers AAA gameplay which no other streamer offers. Gaming is the #1 entertainment medium (more than TV and movies) so it makes sense that your streaming box should be able to deliver all your entertainment, not just TV and movies. GeForce NOW delivers games streamed from the cloud instantly to your TV. Top games like Fortnite, Assassin’s Creed, PUBG, NBA2K19, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019, and hundreds more.
