The Nvidia Shield has turned out to be one of the best pieces of consumer tech in years, thanks to the extremely long support cycle. Nvidia continues the support by now pushing out Android 11 with SHIELD Experience 9.0.
My Nvidia Shield TV Pro is pushing 7-years old now, and I can’t think of any other tech I have that is this old. Admittedly, my consumeristic nature does mean I wish Nvidia would launch a new Shield, so it can be even better than it already is.

It’s not all good, though – Adverts and no automatic refresh rate matching
It is worth noting that Nvidia has copped some flak recently for the way they have changed the home screen to include adverts. Personally, I have barely noticed, I go straight into Plex/Netflix.
The device still has no automatic refresh rate matching, and there is still no HDR10+ it is just HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
