It’s not even close to the shield, why would it be? That’s why it’s a lot cheaper. The Shield is awesome though.

Amazon are supposedly releasing an upgraded higher spec model early next year though. I would still go with the Shield either way though.

You are not the target market for these devices.

I would say the same including consoles having apps like netflix and all but there are draw backs which you are missing. Nvidia shield you could do alot of thing that the tv can't do. My sony x900e can't handle netflix hdr for some reason, it also has issues playing hi10p and other stuff through kodi to the point of the tv rebooting. The ps4 cant do hdr or certain files, so I rather just get a nvidia then waste the tv processors and solve my issues.
