Hi, i'm looking for an android tv device that can cast from my smartphone and that's powerfull enough to play 1080p movies and to do some gaming...i'm thinking of NVIDIA shield but the price makes me think of something else what do you think i should do?
Nvidia shield. But if you want something cheaper wait for the xiaomi android tv which should be out soon.
there might be a next generation Nvidia Shield TV announced next month at Nvidia event.
The best Android TV device is the NVIDIA Shield TV. Period. It's also the only device that's readily available for purchase brand new.
Next would probably be the ADT-1 (dev prototype) since it's more powerful than the Nexus Player (official but discontinued). The Forge is a shitshow, so don't even consider it. Xiaomi is bringing the Mi Box to the USA later this year.
Powerful enough to play 1080p and some gaming? Any of those devices will do that.
Shield is the only game in town at this very moment unless you can find a used Nexus Player at a fair price. If you don't want to spend the money on a Shield, consider waiting for the Xiaomi Mi Box. It should be out within the next few months.
