The Shield is kind of an extreme outlier in today's environment. A device from 2015 that 9 years later is still one of the top tier choices in its (consumer) market is almost unheard of.

In fact it's reportedly the currently supported Android device out there with the longest support[0], it's crazy that mine still gets updates.

It really is awesome. I also enjoy the UI that allows you to side by side compare a stream and the difference is insane.

I have been meaning to see how well it handles streaming a desktop via moonlight to the shield to real time upscale a second monitor's content. I assume it's trained for video footage and not static UI components. The RTX windows drivers don't seem to upscale as well as the shield.
