Is a nvidia shield still the best? Are there others? I’d like to play various 4k HDR video files. Which one to buy? Any recommendations? Nvidia shield looks very much outdated but there’s nothing new.

What about plasma bigscreen? Would that be good? I’d just use it for jellyfin, the DE doesn’t matter much.

    Interesting, I’ve never had any issues with it really. The only thing I suppose is that Hulu acts odd on a very rare occasion but that’s a Hulu app problem. It’s our main “TV” system. Netflix, Hulu, stremio, prime, etc. are all flawless. I could see it being a hackers toy but I’ve kept it stock. Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, whatever, has always been flawless. I’ve also only been on WiFi and streaming anything hasn’t been an issue.

      Yeah Hulu is buggy on a lot of things but notoriously terrible on Shield and has been for years. It almost feels like they’re trying to break it on Shield. Years of hulu updates and you think one would maybe accidentally improve it’s performance at least. My pro is aging a little better than my shield tube but I’m still partial to the wacky rugged design of the tube.
