Nvidia Shield TV (2019) | Best TV Streamer with Insane Upscaling!

Unboxing, setup and full tour with Nvidia's new Shield TV 2019, an updated version of its TV and media streaming box boasting the best upscaling I've ever seen. I loved the previous model and this latest streamer delivers several upgrades for a £149 UK asking price. These include the new Tegra X1+ platform, boasting AI-boosted upscaling to 4K for standard HD video.

As you'd expect, the Nvidia Shield TV 2019 can serve up 4K HDR visuals for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube content. Dolby Vision is supported as well as HDR10, although no HDR10+ unlike the Amazon Fire TV Cube. However, this streamer blows the Fire TV away for those upscaling smarts while also adding the GeForce game streaming service.

So not only is the 2019 update of the Shield TV best for enjoying movies and shows, it's also the best for gaming. Although anyone serious about their games may want to consider an upgrade to the Pro model, which boasts improved performance (3GB of RAM vs 2GB), two dedicated USB ports, full Twitch support and more.

Check out my comparison versus the Fire TV Cube and Roku Premiere to see if the new Shield TV really is the best streaming box as we head into 2020.
