I've heard the nvidia shield is/was the gold standard for this purpose

it's not, they started the enshitification process years ago, I threw mine away. In the fucking garbage if you can believe it because it started showing me ads.

Well that sucks. I don't particularly want google or amazon hardware on my network in any capacity, nor do I intend to provide network access to a "smart" TV. Guess that leaves AppleTV, maybe a couple other options, or dedicated media PC.

Huuuuuge price difference though.

Though I guess the chromecast is being killed off so the difference doesn’t matter much anymore.

Fair. Added benefit tho; it's not a Google product.

Downside: it's Nvidia and they've gone off the deep end into AI bullshit. Arguably went off the deep end several years ago into Crypto bullshit.
