How good that he was not a TV, projector as sensational as advanced technologies that in them were not on anything they us when we do not have relevant content. A content is also a device that can be conveniently viewed. Nvidia introduced last year, Snap Shield Android TV (Those who bought it already boasted its findings this winter), which from this perspective is the dream of every TV.
A implicitly a very interesting proposition for players and consumers all multimedia content, not just the network. The product soon, June 20, will officially go on sale in Poland at the price of 899 dollars.
What is NVIDIA Shield?
probably the name of T-Mobile already you about the ears, even if you have You not read about this accessory, but in the context of a portable console or tablet, we had the opportunity to test on the benchmark. This time NVIDIA Shield is the core of the names of snap-TV. Besides appetizer, very popular in his time the word, does not reflect the practicality of this accessory. Because using NVIDIA Shield, which is connected to the TV (maximum mode 4K / 60p), and that the words of the manufacturer is 34 times faster than the first generation Apple TV, you can:
- play Runner game and they are adapted to Android (NVIDIA Shield uses Android)
- rip games streamed from servers NVIDIA GeForce Now the service is available for 3 months for free, then for 9.99 euros a month – NVIDIA employees are bending over backwards to as much titles and supplements were available to users
- play games streamed directly from our PC (technology GameStream) – here only limitation is our collection
- see multimedia with our resources, whether connected wired and streamed with the help of technology Chromecast
- use the application to access network resources, multimedia – Netflix, Twitch, YouTube is just the tip of the iceberg
- to run applications such as Kodi, Plex
- to access the voice assistant (microphone is built into the pad), using Google Now – here still a lot of need to refine, and not only from NVIDIA
As you can see NVIDIA Shield is not a device that can be unambiguously classified. It is known, potential users will look at this “console” sorry “snap”, just as a competitor consoles, what NVIDIA does not prohibit, but it’s not competition for the PS or Xbox and other consoles connected to the TV. Thinking SHIELD should think about other snap-ins to TV – Apple TV or Fire TV.
You can say that NVIDIA Shield is something which could happen devices Steam Machine, posiłkując technology stream, and also enriched with features characteristic of the platform Smart TV, media players, and the functionality of Chromecast. And, of course, costing much less.
in this formula, and the price that the manufacturer suggests, NVIDIA Shield has a chance to replace PCs in many homes, as well as an alternative to still perfectly working TV software . And in the case of projectors, may now be almost the only reasonable option, to make them more Smart. If you ever thought about buying a player streaming and discourage you their little functionality, you might want to give a chance NVIDIA Shield Android TV.
What is important is the Internet
Yes, local content recreate without access to the network, but the true potential of NVIDIA Shield will show only when connected to the Internet. Movies from Netflix, streaming games require a reasonable capacity to hit our screen without delay. In the case of video can be said that the link providing 20 Mbps will be a good start.
A similar suggested bandwidth valid for games in 720p – NVIDIA says about the range of 15-25 Mbps. Games in FullHD resolution, it is already a requirement of at least 50 Mbps. There are speed unattainable in today’s households, but you have to keep this in mind.
If you fulfill the requirements in the case of the GeForce Now negotiations with the server should not take more than 30 seconds. And then we are left only to play, for example, in The Witcher or Mad Max.
