Alot of pros missing from the shield in the review
Considering its a 4k review I'm surprised that YouTube isn't listed as a con
Until the Shield actually gets Auto colorspace switching added to it's Firmware for correct color outputs when viewing mixed SDR and then 4K HDR content, it really is a niche 4K HDR media player product.
The lack of auto colorspace switching means it's not ready for easy mainstream consumer use. No one wants to continually fiddle in Android settings all the time to get correct SDR/HDR color outputs. Pity because the Shield certainly is capable hardware. Google's Android OS is half of the problem here regarding lack of auto colorspace switching/conversion.
Better not talk about it's 1080p > 4K upscaled picture quality as well vs the competition.
YouTube 4K HDR: Jeez Google (stupidly) have really limited that to select 4K HDR TV's and their Chromecast Ultra.
Anyone else find it hilarious that the Fire TV, Chromecast, and Apple TV 4K all rated higher than the Shield? Comments are turned off as well.
