It is just over a year since its predecessor was launched and now Nvidia are launching the Nvidia Shield TV console, following in the footsteps of Sony and Microsoft’s footsteps by launching a console refresh.
It will still use the same Nvidia Tegra X1 SOC and the same 3gb of RAM that the previous model had. It also has 4K and HDR sup In terms of ports, there’s 1 HDMI, a MicroSD slot, two standard USB 3.0 ports, gigabit Ethernet, and an IR receiver. The most noteworthy changes are the reduced size of the box as well as the peripherals.
Further system improvements are promised down the line including Google Assistant support as well as SmartThings Compatibility as well as Nvidia’s very own version of amazon’s Echo dot called SHIELD Spot Accessory.
The Nvidia Shield 16gb version is available for roughly 215 euro from Amazon UK, while the Shield PRO with a 500gb memory will be available from the 30th of January and will cost roughly 320 euro.
