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”
Professional reviewers consider the MAG555 a flagship device that elevates Infomir's lineup with Google TV, delivering efficient 4K performance thanks to its Amlogic S905Y4-B chipset. They commend the unified app ecosystem, voice control, and Chromecast integration, while noting the limited RAM and storage as potential constraints for power users.
