The NVIDIA Shield Android TV Pro Streaming Media Player is now available for $179.99 shipped from Amazon. Today’s offer represents the first discount we’ve seen in 2021, saving a whopping $20 off the regular $200 price. The last time we saw a discount was in November of last year, when it was reduced to $1.
The NVIDIA Shield Android TV Pro is one of the higher-end streaming media players on the market, with a number of noteworthy features. The onboard Plex support with hardware transcoding is the first saying that it allows you to set up a server simply by connecting to a NAS or plugging in a USB hard drive. Of course, all of the usual streaming services are available, as well as 4K HDR playback, Alexa support, and more. Support for Android 11 is also on the way, as you can see below.
The NVIDIA Shield TV Stick is also on sale today on Amazon for $129.99 shipped. You’re looking at another rare opportunity to save as the lead deal, with today’s deal matching our previous mention from earlier this fall. While not as powerful as the Pro model, the NVIDIA Shield Stick offers many of the same Android TV features as the Pro model, including 4K HDR playback.
You’ll be able to use a variety of popular streaming services in addition to Google Assistant and Chromecast integration. A bundled voice remote allows users to easily search contents and it also includes a built-in locator to ensure it never gets misplaced.
