  • NVIDIA houdt zijn apparaten erg goed up-to-date, Gamesstreamingdienst GeForce Now is uitstekend, Compleet streamingplatform met muziek, films en series van uiteenlopende diensten, Mogelijkheid om in 4K HDR te streamen, Prima controller voor games,
  • Chromecast-ondersteuning werkt niet in alle gevallen even goed, Standaard weinig opslag, Weinig Nederlandse Android TV-apps, Knoppen afstandsbediening voelen kwetsbaar aan, Android TV mist ondersteuning voor meerdere gebruikersprofielen,
  • De NVIDIA Shield TV is eigenlijk een interessante combinatie van apparaten. Het is naast een streamingbox die ondersteuning biedt voor 4K HDR-beelden ook een NAS, mediacenter, een gameconsole en zal in de toekomst een smart home-hub worden. Met een prijs...

  • De Nvidia Shield was al een zeer veelzijdige mediaspeler annex gameconsole en met de nieuwe versie en de nieuwe software is dat alleen maar toegenomen. Grootste pluspunt is dat er vanaf nu zowel een gamecontroller als de media remote wordt meegeleverd...

  • De claim van Nvidia dat dit het laatste product voor bij de tv is dat je ooit nog zou kopen, is natuurlijk wat overdreven, maar de achterliggende gedachte bij deze claim kunnen we niet anders dan onderschrijven. De Nvidia Shield Android TV is zonder twi...

  • Vormgeving, 4K-ondersteuning, Gebruiksgemak Android TV
  • Gamen valt wat tegen, Android TV nog in kinderschoenen
  • Wil je van je televisie een smart-tv maken en is de Chromecast je te beperkt? Dan is de NVIDIA Shield Android TV een leuk apparaat om te overwegen. Maar omdat Android TV als platform nog wat in de kinderschoenen staat en de game-ervaring niet kan meten m...

  • Op papier lijkt de Nvidia Shield het ultieme streamingsdevice, maar hoe verantwoord is je aankoop? Qua prijs is het apparaat vergelijkbaar met een Apple TV (vanaf 179 euro) en in dat opzicht krijg je met een Nvidia Shield veel meer waar voor je geld. De N...

  • Android TV draait soepel, Gamestreaming technisch indrukwekkend
  • Gebrek aan apps en games, Prijzig, Afstandsbediening niet meegeleverd
  • Nvidia lijkt de Shield en zijn gamestreamingdienst GeForce Now te zien als een langetermijnproject. Tijdens de aankondiging van het apparaat zei een woordvoerder tegen NU.nl dat "het lang duurde om de GeForce-videokaarten populair te maken, en het nu ook...

  • Snel menu, Basis installatie heeft geen handleiding nodig, HDMI 2.0 (4K), Netflix, Games optie, Afstandsbediening met hoofdtelefoonaansluiting, Controller met hoofdtelefoonaansluiting, Combi voordeel verkrijgbaar om de prijs te drukken
  • Moet nu een 4K TV kopen (knipoog), Niet de goedkoopste, Game controller feeling, Game beleving, Game graphics verwachtingen niet voldaan
  • De Shield is niet alleen mooi in design, is ook nog eens snel. Installatie ging flot, handleiding niet nodig om open te doen. Netflix is al geinstalleerd, KODI kan uit de app store worden gedownload via de spraak besturing. Indrukwekkend en snel werkend...

  • Když shrnu výše sepsané, mám spíše smíšené pocity. Na jednu stranu skvělý výkon v malém formátu, slušný herní ovladač a plno užitečných funkcí. Vše mi ale pořád kalí nemožnost využít zařízení naplno tak, jak to vyhovuje mně. Jde hlavně o prohlížení intern...
