[@JoshFisher567]

The non pro can't run 64 bit apps. I'm speculating that's the reason but I haven't played a single game on this thing as I bought it as a streaming device. The hardware is EXACTLY the same minus 1GB of RAM which is why most people think its unable to but Nvidia has never confirmed this. It's worth the extra money for the pro, trust me. you may not think you need the two USB ports now but they certainly come in handy. The micro SD card on the non-pro is impossible to get to without taking the HDMI input or output cord out. USB storage is also way, way cheaper. I also noticed they had it listed on the chart as HDMI 2.0b. For the minimal hardware changes I think the pro should be 2.1 but that's just a minor complaint. This is more for "future proofing" it although no tech product is really future proof.

[@S41t4r4]

yes and no. those neuronal networks work by interpreting the context of the picture. It basically adds information that probably fits at that place. so its higly dependend on the source quality and the training patterns. Faces for example are pure nightmare for a lot networks, even if the picture is exposed well and in focus, because those are mostly trained on nature photography, etc. and even if you use a specialized network, if the face is too small, it will reconstruct it pretty poorly.

[@franklinbadge1215]

​@@SimonWoodburyForget Yes, I'm aware that make-believe technology is still make-believe. And I agree that enhance is a stupid word for it. But this seems the closest thing to how computers in crime dramas can magically increase the detail of an image with a limited number of pixels.

[@TimoKanal]

The basic concept shown in this video exists since decades. The length of how much people in movies can zoom into an image doesn't make any sense though most of the time.

[@DarkRendition]

Yeah except it only works on razor stubble.

[@Morrivar]

@@franklinbadge1215 Yeah but the difference is still that in those shows the make-believe tech is apparently pulling up the actual details of the image, because they use this stuff as evidence. The details added in upscaling are completely fabricated and in no way indicative of how the scene the image represents definitely actually looked.

I absolutely LOVE my shield TV pro 😁 I'm SOOO glad I invested in this back in 2020. The AI upscaling definitely helps in a lot of situations, although not all of them. But it DEFINITELY makes stuff like anime that was sub 1080p look WAAAYYY better. Like it's extremely noticable. Plus this thing just has a ton of other great features. It's my defacto streaming box for sure. Also, the new updates clean up the UI quite a bit

[@thedislikebutton1907]

Does this work on every video playing? And any app? What about games?

[@Vorexia]

​@@thedislikebutton1907 I don't own a shield, but the upscaling has been said to be integrated into Shield UI, so it is supposedly globally applicable to any app installed on it. Even games. Although since games are being rendered in real-time, I reckon the AI upscaler might not look as good in gaming as it does when watching pre-rendered videos. DLSS is a better upscaler for gaming, but unfortunately I don't believe it's supported on the NVIDIA Shield.

Been a user of 2x Shield TVs since they first came out in 2015, skipped the 'upgraded' 2017 model but upgraded to the 2019 model in early 2020. The 2015 models worked flawlessly for all 4 years I had them, aside from the fact I wanted the AI upscaling, I could have suck with them into this year and beyond too. Really solid devices. Another plus is that they seem to hold their value well too, granted I purchased the 2015 models while they were on offer, but even so, when I sold them at the beginning of 2020 I made a 'loss' of ~£10-£15 each compared to the original price I paid. Awesome value.
