People really hype the shield as the best of the best, and I have been considering getting one. I currently have a CCwGtv and love it. Will there be any different between the two. They are both passing a digital signal via HDMI so I'm not sure what the difference would even be.
only if upscaling in your case imo
You'll notice RAM limitations in the form of app reloads when app switching between the shield pro (&2015,17) and the shield tube/ccwgtv
Yes I have both there is a difference the question is will you care and is it worth $150 extra to you. I am completely happy with both, but I would say all things considered the ccwgtv is a better value i.e. I wouldn't be upset if it cost a little more, compared to other $50 android tv devices its a step above.
As far as I know upscaling works on the shield and not the CwGtv .....that's a reason enough to get the shield.
