Nvidia’s Shield TV, an Android TV-based machine that’s at the moment the best choice obtainable for 4K streaming followers, is getting a worth drop with a brand new bundle that leaves out the included online game controller. Bundled with simply the distant, the 16GB Shield TV is now $179 – $20 cheaper than the Shield TV bundle that additionally contains the joypad, and in keeping with the pricing of the brand new 32GB Apple TV 4K that goes on sale tomorrow.
Nvidia’s set-top field provides 4K HDR streaming, with content material suppliers together with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, in addition to by digital leases and purchases by the Google Play Store. It’s been doing 4K for the reason that little gadget went on sale earlier this 12 months, too – and doing it very nicely based mostly on my private expertise.
It’s additionally value noting that as of proper now, the Apple TV doesn’t provide Amazon Prime streaming (although that’s on its method) and its YouTube app doesn’t assist 4K playback (although that might change ultimately, too). Nvidia additionally provides numerous gamer-focused options, together with native streaming from a gaming PC, and its distant has a headphone jack inbuilt for a so-called “private listening” mode.
I haven’t but had the prospect to make use of the Apple TV 4K, however Nvidia’s streaming field is my favourite media middle for the time being, so the brand new pricing choice needs to be thought-about a robust contender, particularly when you’re already invested within the Android ecosystem.
The new bundle is up for pre-order now, with shipments beginning October 18, and you may nonetheless get the opposite variations at their authentic worth factors, too.
