It’s my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it’s soooo old. $200? IDK

    I am using a Chromecast 4k and I am quite happy with it … what would the shield accomplish better ?

      Better app performance, better upscaling, game streaming (though you’ll need to use something like Moonlight for local streaming now), better audio format support for local Plex/Jellyfin servers.

      Oh man, I HATE to say it, but the old 4k fire stick is a lot better than the latest 4k chromecast.

      The shield tube is better than both of these, though. But yeah… Such old hardware. They need to release something new. Still, it works with very few issues.
