Maybe getting a licence for it all required them to release new hardware in order to use and/or pay for said licence.

I own a shield 2017, stick 4k and an appletv. The appletv has the best netflix image, then the 4k. And a lot worse the shield. So how is this with the new version? The appletv 4k is the only apple device I own beceause i don't like there closed system. But image qaulity wise it beats them all.

Hmm.. Mine is version 8.3.1(32.7.301.32). Shows that information when you go to check for an update.
I have to say I like the new AI scaling set to low, it improves 1080p content output over the previous shield versions a lot, the 4K HDR picture is still a bit soft like all the previous shield versions, I prefer the 4K pic from my Zidoo Z9S.

Bought mine from Best Buy. $199.99. so far I wish I never bought it. Works well in general but as far as Kodi goes, my old Shield worked a lot better. I have not changed anything. Unplugged my old Shield which worked great
and plugged in my new one and set it up. No matter what I try, watched a lot of You Tube videos, the only way to watch any programs on Kodi is to always use SD files, and it's a 50/50 shot on that. The shows barely run at 720 and freeze often and often never
start again. I believe I will set up my old Shield if I want to watch programs reliably.

I get my Shield TV Pro today and switch from the Shield TV 2017. The new Shield is very nice but not a big different. Picture quality is better on the new Shield and DV Support is great.
