It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK

I have the OG Shield Pro, with an additional remote, the most recebt one.

Besides changing the inner HDD for a SSD, it does all I need.

Sure, it doesn't support the HDMI 2.1 that my TV does, but I don't need that for what the Shield does for me (YouTube, Netflix and Plex playback).

I had issues with that lack of HDMI 2.1 support.

Tried to pair mine with an LG CX OLED and could not for the life of me get it to reliably run at 4K.

It chooses its own dogshit res and it looks bad even though it scales well. Not about to watch a bad picture on such an expensive display.
