**Reasons to Purchase NVIDIA's SHIELD**
NVIDIA’s SHIELD has evolved through various forms, from handheld devices and tablets to this TV box. For those who have long desired a SHIELD, the main reason is its ability to stream games and leverage the smart features powered by the TX1 chip. Before it was officially available in China, many had to buy overseas versions and activate them using unofficial methods. It was always rumored that SHIELD would soon be launched in the country, but it took time for the news to become real. Now, with Bank of China offering a more reasonable price, I placed my order directly on JD.com.
**Appearance Gallery**
The Bank of China version of SHIELD is almost identical to the overseas model, except for the iQiyi logo in the lower right corner of the box. Currently, there is no Pro version available in China.
The core selling point of the SHIELD lies in its NVIDIA TX1 processor, which offers 1 Teraflop of floating-point performance—making it ideal for robotics and AI applications. The official development kit costs $299, while the Bank of China model is priced at just 1499 yuan. This makes it an attractive option for developers and tech enthusiasts alike.
**Unboxing Experience**
The packaging consists of two layers. The first layer includes the SHIELD host and the remote control.
The second layer contains the power adapter and the gamepad. The gamepad design resembles a hybrid between an Xbox and a PlayStation controller, with a unique triangular grip that provides a sensational feel. The buttons and joysticks are similar to those found on an Xbox, offering a familiar and comfortable experience.
The remote control has arrow keys on top, Android back and menu buttons below, and a sliding volume bar for touch operation. On the back of the gamepad, you'll find LT1, LT2, RT1, RT2 buttons, as well as a micro USB port and a headphone jack.
The power adapter supports wide voltage and outputs 19V 2.1A. It uses a replaceable plug design, but the SHIELD itself only comes with a two-prong power cable. A unique rectangular connector links the adapter to the device.
**Power On and Setup**
When powered on, a green light appears at the top. The startup screen displays the NVIDIA and iQiyi logos. During the initial setup, users are guided through a quick tutorial and must log in using an iQiyi account. Unfortunately, an NVIDIA account is not supported.
After logging in, users receive a three-month Kiwi VIP membership. However, the app is not pre-installed and needs to be downloaded separately. The system also requires an update upon first boot, after which the remote and gamepad will be updated as well.
**Game Experience**
New buyers who activated their SHIELD before March 5, 2018, received a free copy of "Legend of the Five Rings." The download speed was impressive, reaching full capacity with my 100M fiber connection. However, the game store currently has limited options—around 20–30 titles, mostly paid games ranging from a few dollars to tens of dollars.
I tried a few free games like "Wild Car 8" and "Dungeon Hunter," but some had issues connecting to the internet despite a stable network. The graphics quality of "Legend of the Five Rings" was comparable to the Xbox 360, and the gameplay was smooth.
**Game Streaming**
One of the most exciting features of SHIELD is NVIDIA's game streaming. Initially, I had trouble connecting to my PC with an NVIDIA 1080TI card, even though everything was wired and on the same LAN. After several attempts and following customer support advice, I managed to connect successfully. The support team was very helpful and professional, making the process much easier.
Once connected, all games recognized by GeForce Experience appear on the SHIELD. Each game shows the resolution it can stream and the supported controllers. For example, Battlefield 1 can be streamed in 4K with HDR support.
**App and Media Support**
While the onboard app store is still limited, users can install apps via USB drives. Popular apps like Galaxy Kiwi and VLC are recommended. The TX1 chip handles 4K and Blu-ray decoding effortlessly, making it a powerful media player.
**Summary**
As NVIDIA’s flagship product, the SHIELD carries high expectations. With the potential of the TX1 chip, more games and apps are expected to follow.
**Advantages:**
1. Excellent industrial design of the host, remote, and gamepad.
2. High-quality 4K HDR gaming streaming.
3. Powerful hardware capable of handling 4K and HD decoding.
4. Outstanding customer service from NVIDIA.
**Disadvantages:**
- App and game stores are still limited.
- The full potential of the TX1 hasn’t been fully realized yet.
Overall, the SHIELD is a strong contender for anyone looking for a versatile media and gaming device.
