Nvidia raises the Shield TV Pro price by $100-seven years after launch
How-To Geek • • technology
Key Points:
- Nvidia has increased the price of its Shield TV Pro to $300, a $100 rise, citing increased component costs driven by the AI data center demand.
- The company has discontinued the standard Shield TV, which has been out of stock for months, with no announcement on future Shield products.
- Other streaming devices have also seen price hikes, including Apple TV 4K, Google TV Streamer, and Roku's Streaming Stick.
- Despite its age, the Shield TV Pro remains capable with its Tegra X1+ chip, supporting 4K HDR playback, gaming, and media server functions, but the price increase diminishes its value compared to newer, potentially better devices.
- The Shield TV Pro runs on Android 11, lagging behind the latest Android TV software based on Android 16, which may limit features and pose security risks.
