Greetings everyone, Kogan have just further dropped the Nvidia Shield to $168 / $228 respectively considering the recent deals it seems. Free delivery is available with Shipster, a 1 month trial is always available if you don't have it!

What makes this deal awesome is that you can combine with the recent Amex deal to bring it down to $148 Delivered after the credit, insanity!

NVIDIA Shield TV Streaming Media Player with Remote & Controller $228.

Kogan is an official partner for the Nvidia Shield.

    Is everyone trying to battle it out for the best Shield price.
    feel like ive seen this 5 times today.
    Can't complain though right!

  • rizkij on 19/11/2018 - 18:00

    Just purchased this earlier today fron Kogan at a higher price =(

    Anyone had any experience asking Kogan to refund the price difference?

    • pwnd on 19/11/2018 - 21:34

      Why would you have done that seeing as there has been a Shield deal on every day for the past couple of day?

      • rizkij on 19/11/2018 - 21:47

        $188 less $20 with free Shipster was still on par with all the other deals. Just that $168 less $20 is even better.

      Same. Hadn't had any issues with the Mi Box either, but the Amex offer pushed me other the edge.

    • thekow on 19/11/2018 - 19:14

      Ok I got the deal yesterday and I have a mibox 3 as well. MAJOR flaw with the shield is if you have a universal IR remote. The shield 2017 (non pro) doesn't have an IR receiver. I have an old harmony one and i looked before i bought it and it said it was compatible. Silly me didn't think the shield wouldn't have IR since nearly every other Android TV box has one. There is 2 options if you wanna add IR. Have a hub that converts the ir to bt or buy a dongle (flirc) which is about 30 bucks. If you don't care about having one remote and you don't mind using the shield remote then yes it's much better than the mibox. My shield is back in it's box until i can get a flirc or new remote.

        I run an HTPC w/ GTX1080 for gaming, music production and video conversion to h265… any reboot, crash or even "There are upgrades available" messages and I would flip out, but it doesn't happen.

          Pretty much what a normal Samsung phone can do but on a big screen TV.

        • ioga on 19/11/2018 - 20:00

          It basically turns your TV into a 'smart tv'. you plug it into an hdmi slot, then when you select it, you can have a netflix app on it, spotify, amazon video, youtube abc/sbs on demand, etc.

          It is also useful to stream media files locally (like what a chromecast does). So if you torrent a lot of movies and keep it in your hard disk, you can 'send' it from your PC to your tv screen wirelessly (using an app like Plex).

          Almost all android tv box/chromecast will have the features I mentioned above. Where NVIDIA shield is different is that it can also stream your PC games wirelessly from the PC to your tv. So instead of playing FIFA in the family computer, you send it wirelessly to your bigscreen TV and play there. Give or take, this is what most people will use this device for.

    • unkown on 19/11/2018 - 20:03

      Apps/Android:
      - It runs Android TV, so you have access to all Anroid TV apps including games.
      - Google Assistant built in via microphone in remote control.

      Video:
      - Having access to Android means having access to apps for video content such as YouTube and streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc (all in 4K).
      - You can also stream 4K content from your home PC using apps such as Plex or Kodi.
      - With chromecast built in, you can cast 4K content from your phone/tablet to the Shield.

      Music:
      - Again, you can download Android apps such as Spotify and Google Play Music and play music directly on the Shield.
      - Stream music from your phone onto Shield.

      Gaming:
      - Run Android games directly on the Shield by downloading them from the Play Store.
      - Stream any PC game over your home network from your PC (regardless if on Steam, Origin, Uplay).
      - 'Geforce Now' (which I don't think is available in Australia) allows you to stream selected games over the internet directly to the Shield for a monthly fee (basically, Netflix for games). It's not really worth it anyway as there's only a small selection of games and some require additional purchase on top of the monthly fee.

      • yummycoot on 19/11/2018 - 21:54

        unkown, you should also mention that it works with Google Home and Alexa.

        supports most bluetooth/usb controllers.

  • AlterCheapo on 19/11/2018 - 18:59

    Essentially can the shield play 3D files?

    • AnarchyAngel on 19/11/2018 - 19:06

      Its gotta a Nvidia Chip in it that none of the others have making it the most powerful 4k streamer on the market in a nutshell. Also works as a Google Home. You want the best? This is it.

    • FeZZa21 on 19/11/2018 - 19:14

      Yes via Kodi app if your tv is 3d as well. Not sure about 3d content to 2d tv conversion.

    • AlterCheapo on 19/11/2018 - 19:23

      Thanks for the responses, my current tv can do the 3D conversion but I just wanted to know if the Nvidia Shield could playback the 3D SBS and O/U files on my hard drive. If anyone had experience playing 3D files on this unit I would appreciate your advice :)

    I don't usually shop at Kogan. are they a trusted seller these days? I tend to avoid sellers who do a lot of grey imports. I know someone said this item is local stock but I'm more curious about people's experiences with them.

    • Kanasuke on 19/11/2018 - 21:11

      my smartphone from ASUS was advertising that the 4GB is the model with the fast CPU, the 2GB is the slow CPU one. so Kogan works off this knowledge, writes 4GB in the specs, but quietly they had put the inferior CPU's model number on the sheet. I forgot to cross-check the model number thinking it was the better CPU. got scammed twice alrdy, this and another case.

    Why is the Shield so good? I already have Netflix on my LG OLED so what else does this bring?

    • spades on 19/11/2018 - 19:26

      Biggest thing is that it is an Android TV, so people who use specific apps written for Android TV will want one. For example, I've got a dedicated Plex server so using the Plex Android TV app is the easiest way for my family to use it. It's all about the apps if you have any use for them. Google "android tv apps".

        I tried on ChemistWarehouse, entered my email address the shipping changes to free. Went back to Kogan, tried to loggin using my account and signed out as guest, no difference still needed to pay the delivery.

  • lawesomes on 20/11/2018 - 00:09

    Question - what are people actually using this for. It seems very popular, but I can't for the life of me figure out why.

    So far I gather,
    -Gaming from a PC remotely
    -running locally stored 4k video
    -Android gaming / retro emulation?

    Outside of the above, what benefit does it have vs just a raspberry pi with Kodi, assuming I netflix on the smart tv app/Chromecast

    • splango on 20/11/2018 - 09:00

      GPU a lot more powerful than Rasberry Pi would be the main thing?
