That is an old post and the 2.0 black level issue was taken care of with 2.1. However, there is another issue with color levels which has been documented here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/895245/shield-android-tv/picture-quality-and-color-space-evaluation/ RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - a5ian300zx - 2015-12-18 (2015-12-18, 16:22)falc410 Wrote: I'm thinking about getting a SHIELD to replace my HTPC (which is not capable of 4K output). I have just some questions about the SHIELD.Hi, I replaced my Haswell nuc with this for 4k and love it. Yes harmony works fine on and off you might have to program the buttons a bit.

Thank you but I've also seen his post in geforce forum about the weird result of 2160p mode. His 1080p results with DVDO TPG is same to me so only 2160p RGB has strange issue. And he didn't post the result of 2160p. Quote:So, I checked 1080p 23.976/50/60 and 4K 23.976/50/60. It certainly is now back to what it was in firmware 1.1. I did notice that 4K 50/60 can be RGB 8-bit output if there is no YCbCr 4:2:0/HDCP 2.2 and there was some weird grayscale and color errors for those modes. I will have to look into those once again before commenting further. Otherwise, everything looks OK.

RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - e3henri - 2015-12-19 I have to ask again. Is it only me that have these various audio out of sync issue with KODI on Shield? I have a media collection with different audio-formats It is mainly DVD-rips and Blu-ray rips. For most of the blu-rays I have just used the DTS-core (due to the incompability for DTSHDMA in my old Boxee box). These files are playing perfectly fine in my old setup with boxee box. Actually I have no audio sync issue whatsover with any of the old players (a boxee box, PS3, PS4 and a cable setup box). I have a fixed delay in my Denon receiver that syncs the audio with all these players...but not when it comes to KODI on Shield (if I use the built in android player it works fine). The problem is not the same for all files (some files works fine). It seems to vary for different types of codec and audio formats. It is not a minor problem, sometimes I have to delay the audio up to 200ms in the KODI settings to get a good sync. All I want is the shield to output a stream their audio and video is in sync, but that does not seem possible, or? I have KODI 15.2, A Denon 1911 and a Sony TV from 2013. Hardware acceleration disabled and audio output is PCM (passthrough disabled) I have not yet been able to see a pattern, but today I watched a DolbyDigital movie with very bad sync and yesterday a DTS movie with good sync. So it could be audio codec related. RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - VanZan - 2015-12-20 I have the Shield Pro and disappointingly I get a lot of freezes with the Kodi app. Very disappointing as PQ is great and navigating menus is nice and snappy. Seems to seize up when I try installing or uninstalling addons whilst its doing something else (like a library update). RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - proline - 2015-12-20 The shield has its own settings for audio delay adjustment. Noticed similar anomoly when both the surround receiver and tv speakers were on, fixed it right up. For my setup I think it was a delay with the optical output from the tv to my receiver. RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - e3henri - 2015-12-20 I have the shield audio delay set to 0 and the hdmi set to 50hz. In kodi I have auto switch frame rate enabled. I am all on hdmi using my recevier as hdmi switch and the tv is always set to hdmi 1 from the receiver. I dont have any optical or audio return setup and I always use the receivet sound (TV speakers always muted). Using the built in player or ES media player seems to not have this problem RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - Hiphopopotamus - 2015-12-20 [Kodi 16 Jarvis] Android Audio pass-through test thread. EXPERIMENTAL!! - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852 RE: NVIDIA Shield (Android TV set-top box) - Atinkler - 2015-12-20 I know this isn't a kodi question but can anyone tell me if they get the shield showing up in the chromecast mobile app? I feel like it needs to be set up to stream at higher quality and I can't see how to do that. .have similar issues with the iPlayer streaming quality. .youtube looks great.
