Nvidia rolled out a Shield TV console, arming it with 4K and HDR capabilities for vastly improved gaming and video streaming.
The Android-based Shield also has new tricks: it will double up as a smart-home hub and a voice-activated assistant. It’ll bring Google Assistant to TVs and work with Samsung's SmartThings platform to operate smart devices and appliances in a home.
The Shield is powered by the Tegra X1 processor. A model with 16GB of storage will ship later this month for US$199.99, and a Shield Pro model with 500GB storage will be available for $299.99. The models will include a controller and a remote.
Nvidia is taking pre-orders on its website, and it will initially ship in the U.S., Canada and some European countries.
