It's flawless for streaming locally and from the Internet for me.
My next gfx card for my PC will be nvidia so I can more easily play my PC games on the TV if required.

It's good, and better than any of the others I've used (firestick, Chromecast, Roku, now TV and a variety of HTPCs).
Everything is very smooth, the interface is snappy and the remote is good. There are some annoying gaps, there's no browser and if you sideload one the interface isn't great.
It's my main device for gaming. Use it for Xbox cloud, streaming from PC and Nvidia cloud with an Xbox controller.
One annoying thing is that they have just started putting adverts on there so the top of the screen when you turn on has a load of massive adverts for random streaming shit. Definitely makes it feel less premium.
Whether it's worth the premium over a firestick is a difficult one. They're good devices and considerably cheaper (although may require more effort to get them working how you want).

They're really good, particularly when compared to your standard fare of Fire TV, Roku, or Pi running Kodi / Librelec etc...

@aggi and anyone else using one - how do you feel about the nvidia shield after a while using it? My partner and I still plug laptops in to telly to watch Netflix etc and I'd like a way to play games in the living room so it seems like it could be a good shout maybe
