At least the Black Friday sales season is here and the Cyber Monday sales season is just around the corner Among them, the Nvidia Shield TV (2019) is one of the best streaming players you can buy

Amazon is offering the Nvidia Shield TV for $129 for a limited time That's $20 off and one of the lowest prices for this excellent streaming tube

In our review of the Nvidia Shield TV, we liked its ability to quickly render 4K content and stream games In addition, it has strong app support and access to nearly all channels and services, including Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube

It has a rather odd design, as it is shaped like a tube rather than a traditional box like its predecessor and other streaming devices But don't let that put you off

Designed to be placed horizontally under a TV, it has a power port and Ethernet on one end and a microSD card slot and HDMI port on the other In an age when game consoles and other gadgets stand vertically, this is a bit unorthodox

Naturally, being an Android TV device, you have the option to customize the home screen and place the content you want front and center Unwanted content, on the other hand, is kicked out no matter what depth the removed apps go This also means that you can load a variety of Android games alongside the free GeForce Now game streaming service

And it is with games that the Nvidia Shield TV has an advantage over other TV streaming boxes like the Apple TV Not only can it play the aforementioned games, but it can also stream Steam games directly from a PC on the network, making the Nvidia Shield TV a fairly game-centric device despite its small size

So this is a rare bargain for the Nvidia Shield TV
