Nvidia launches Shield set-top boxes with Tegra X1+ processor, Dolby tech, and AI upscaling

Nvidia unveiled its new generation of Shield TV set-top boxes that stream media and enable cloud-based gaming. The new boxes, which retailers inadvertently leaked in recent weeks, will debut for $150 and $200.

One of the devices looks like a plastic tube. Nvidia can pack a lot of technology into that little space. And it enables easy integration with 21 different over-the-air media services as well as voice integration with Google Assistant.
