THis is cool to hear about, since I've been considering an NVidia Shield TV for awhile now for some other use cases. But being able to play my Steam collection, without having a PC around would be awesome, too. In fact, I really don't have much use for my PC anymore, then.



It works surprisingly well but not great for FPS. I can't recommend the shield enough though. The thing is 2 years old still gets constant updates. I have it streaming 4k HDR content off server and it works great.


I wanted to use it as a Plex client and a retro video gaming machine.


It works well as a Plex client. I'm guessing it would have no issues with emulators


Exactly. I moved coasts and sold my gaming PC, bought a Shield in the meantime, and haven't felt the need to shell out for another PC build because the Shield does it all for me.
