"NVIDIA hasn't given any strong indication that it's preparing to launch a new Shield TV, but in a recent with ArsTechnica, Andrew Bell, the company's senior VP of hardware engineering, said it has no plans to end support any time soon, teasing that it had 'played with new concepts.' Bell also said that a first Shield refresh since 2019 would likely support codecs like AV1 and HDR10+, as well as the latest Dolby Vision profiles."
"The Shield Experience Upgrade 9.2.4, to give it its proper name, applies to both the Shield and Shield Pro boxes. It's admittedly light on new features, instead being focused on updating security and fixing various issues, but is nice to see all the same."
"The existing NVIDIA Shield Android TV Pro remains our of the best streaming devices for gamers, thanks to its ability to stream in native 4K and effectively upscale lower-resolution content. And with NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming service going from to strength, the Shield retains a unique position in the PC gaming ecosystem."
NVIDIA continues supporting its Shield TV devices with the release of Shield Experience Upgrade 9.2.4, which applies to both Shield and Shield Pro models. The update prioritizes security enhancements and bug resolution rather than introducing new features. Key fixes include resolving Disney+ playback issues, third-party remote connection problems after sleep mode, crashes affecting CEC devices, Bluetooth remote disconnection issues, and a settings page crash when triggering NVIDIA share. NVIDIA's senior VP of hardware engineering indicated the company has no plans to discontinue Shield support and has explored new concepts. A potential future Shield refresh would likely incorporate AV1 and HDR10+ codecs along with latest Dolby Vision profiles. The existing Shield Pro remains a premier streaming device for gamers, supporting native 4K streaming and content upscaling, while integrating well with NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming service.
