Nvidia SHIELD Pro
Score: 82/100
Formuler Z11 Pro Max
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Formuler Z11 Pro Max runs Android 11 with 4 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI 2.1, delivering robust 4K HDR performance. However, the bundled cable is limited to 4K@60 Hz due to software, and the device's size is larger. It targets power users who want high-spec connectivity and future-proofing.
The NVIDIA Shield TV Pro is a high-performance Android TV player featuring a Tegra X1+ processor, AI upscaling, and support for Dolby Vision, Atmos, and GeForce NOW gaming. Its limited 16 GB internal storage and lack of HDMI 2.1/AV1 keep it from being future-proof. Targeted at power users and gamers who value expandability and top-tier media capabilities.

Professional reviewers commend the SHIELD TV Pro as a high-performance media powerhouse, emphasizing its AI upscaling, 25% faster Tegra X1+ CPU, dual USB expandability, and robust GeForce NOW 4K cloud gaming. However, they note the hardware design has not changed since 2019 and that it lacks newer interfaces like HDMI 2.1 and AV1 decoding, making it feel a step behind the latest competitors.
Everyday users praise the device for smooth 4K streaming, excellent Plex integration, reliable NVIDIA firmware updates, and powerful GeForce NOW gaming. Recurring complaints focus on the limited 16 GB internal storage, occasional Wi-Fi drops, voice-control glitches, lack of AV1 support, and a setup process that can be daunting for non-technical owners.
“best for PC game streaming to TV”
“Why one of the crucial specifications... is not reported?”
“premium feel in bundle with remote/cover”
Professional reviewers have not provided specific commentary on the ULTRALINK cable; manufacturer listings simply describe it as a standard TV cable for 4K output without detailed analysis.
Everyday users generally praise the cable’s reliable 4K HDR performance and the premium feel of the bundled accessories, but they frequently criticize the lack of concrete specifications and the software‑imposed 4K@60Hz limitation.
