However, like most Android platforms (AMLogic are the exception) the Shield doesn't support hardware deinterlacing in Kodi, so if you watch native interlaced content (like TV from TVHeadend, VDR, MythTV servers, interlaced DVDs or Blu-rays etc. like sport or concerts) then you are stuck with a low-quality Bob (which has poor vertical resolution)
Regarding the Shield I read somewhere that the picture qualitiy is not as good as with other devices.
Is this true?

Chromebox has no HEVC hardware acceleration at all - so any HEVC will depend on CPU. I don't have any HD HEVC content to test with - it's a non-issue for me as I don't have any HEVC sources (I watch DVDs, Blu-rays and broadcast TV - all recorded or ripped myself, or catch-up TV which is H264)
Beebox has hardware 8bit HEVC decoding but not 10bit. 10bit will require software decoding - so the CPU power is then key.
Week Core is, I think, 8 bit HEVC only for hardware, and has a relatively low-power CPU so I doubt it does software HEVC 10 bit in real time.
Shield has hardware capable of 10 bit HEVC decoding. Not sure if it is implemented in Kodi yet.
