The Nvidia Shield Android TV is relatively expensive at $149, but a new processor and AI-powered 4K upscaling make it a compelling choice for power users. This 1080p streamer is a good choice for folks who’ve devoted themselves to the Apple ecosystem-including the Apple TV+ streaming service (you can read our review of Apple TV+ here)-but can’t pull the trigger on the $179 second-gen Apple TV 4K (or who don’t have a 4K TV to take advantage of it). But with its lofty $179 price tag, you’ll have to pay to play.Ĭompared to its 1080p-only competitors, the step-down Apple TV HD is very expensive at $149, even if it does come with the same new remote that ships with the even more expensive Apple TV 4K.
Finally, Apple is unique in its efforts to protect its users’ privacy.
And while our review focuses on its media-streaming abilities, it should also be mentioned that the Apple TV 4K can serve as a HomeKit smart-home hub and a Thread border router. The second-gen Apple TV 4K is a fabulous piece of hardware with a feature set that no competitor can match, and its aluminum-wrapped remote control is as classy as the competition’s is plasticky.
