Nvidia SHIELD Console is an next-generation Android-based (Android TV) set-top box and game console that contains a very powerful ARM processor (that should even be able to handle the most heavy of Kodi skins). It is one of the first Android-based media player which features HDMI 2.0 output and is built to handle 4K (Ultra HD) digital media resolution.

Nvidia SHIELD Console stands above some of the other Android-based offerings due to Nvidia's strong product support and because it contains more remote friendly versions of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other video service clients, making it a good pairing with Kodi.
