I have a shield and shield pro (both 2019). It's a bummer that they don't really seem supported by nvidia anymore. It's forgotten tech with no real updates and things seem to be deteriorating a bit (Google search function has really fallen apart). It would be hard for me to be excited about buying a new one now, but that being said, I'm not sure I've seen a better modern alternative. Their 1080 to 4k conversion algorithm has not been updated since 2019, which is sad but it's still better than anything else I've seen. The remote is excellent. I don't use it for gaming, but I've heard the pro is the way to go for that. As someone that has both I would actually not recommend the extra price of the pro for someone not going to use it for gaming. I have custom launchers loaded which is nice, but besides the ads, the stock launcher isn't that terrible.
