Prime Deal Alert-Nvidia Shield with TV Remote will be $139

by GreatScottTX

I just got an email from Slickdeals that said the Shield will be $139 for Amazon Prime Day. I think this is cheaper than Black Friday. https://slickdeals.net/f/11799691-amazon-prime-nvidia-shield-tv-with-remote-will-be-139-prime-day?sdxt01=2018-07-12+21%3A02%3A06&sdxt07=0&utm_source=dealalerts&utm_medium=em-i&utm_term=43340&utm_content=4410362&utm_campaign=tu4&p=117530959&src=da_si_v2_ni_47889915#post117530959

Unless they've made some hardware revisions, that remote is pretty terrible even with the latest software updates. I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps on their site and it's still super laggy. I can use the game controller and have no problems at all. Ended up buying a Logitech Harmony Touch remote & hub (hub is needed to control the 2017 Shield TV as it has no IR) and that setup is working great for me.

That's maybe the best price for a new model I've seen. If you have been on the fence looking at the Shield TV, you should definitely bite on this one.

Great price on this box. For heavy 4k or gaming usage, this is the box to get.

Amazon warehouse deals always has it at this price whenever one is available. The 500gb version goes to $209 dollars weekly

At this point, surely you wait for a Tegra X2 box with updated codec support.

The X1 just has to many gaps in its HDR support for such a premium unit (Apple 4k also).

Can everyone who has a Mibox please get this? Guaranteed the number of tech support posts in this sub will decrease significantly.

Plus the cost of a prime membership...
