nVidia Shield TV... easy to use, set-top box feel (as it's one vs. a HTPC), and now with Amazon 4K on it, even more compelling. Just wish it did 3D MVC, then I could get rid of every other media player in my home.

This may not be good for all TVs esp. Samsung SUHDs. In fact, all 24p content is output with YCbCr 4:2:2 if you enable refresh rate switching.

I haven't tested what it does at 1080p (all HDMI 1.4). Color space options have been revamped and there are more options now. See screenshot below.

When you said " all 24p content is output with YCbCr 4:2:2", I wasn't sure if you meant just 4K or actually "all" content no matter the resolution.Actually that is exactly what I meant. When you set the output resolution to 4K, ALL 24p content is output as YCbCr 4:2:2. I will need to check what happens in 1080p setups.

Any way to get HD audio passthrough via SPMC?I am not seeing any issue with HD audio passthrough in SPMC. The RAW passthrough is working for me. IEC passthrough doesn't seem to work at all.

Responsiveness is spotty.I did check the remote further away (~12 ft) w/o line of sight and I am still not going to complain about the responsiveness Yes, it quits working completely at around 15ft. I am not sure whether they have made any design change to the USB 3.0 ports. If they haven't, the interference from that can significantly reduce Bluetooth range which also operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. I did notice that even the 5GHz Wi-Fi signal strength is lower on the new Shield compared to the old one.
