So far the shield has been great for what I wanted it for. First I wanted a second platform for a plex server. It seems to fill that roll pretty well. There are some known issues so do your research and know what to expect. I also wanted a decent platform for quick tv based games. I still have an ouya which I thought was a great idea, but it ultimately failed because of poor execution. This far surpasses anything ouya ever thought of. The ability to stream games from Nvidia's game service or a local computer make this so much more then you would originally think. 4k is also a great thing from this device.
One thing to remember though is that some services need HDCP2.2 to provide 4k. Allot of tv's may have limitations around what ports support that with other features. For me to use 4k and have HDCP 2.2 I have to use a port that doesn't have HER support. Just check and know your hardware
