Does this mean Shield is now capable of both framerate matching and colorspace matching, like ATV 4K is?
It has been capable. But the frame rate switch is not automatic but takes a manual button press every time. It is also a beta feature and not perfect.
Auto color space switching has been a thing for a while but they always seem to have issues with it with certain TV's/and it has broken with different updates.
To be fair to nVidia - Android TV and tvOS implement frame rate switching in a similar way AIUI - app driven (not automatic). Lots of tvOS apps have been rewritten to do it on the ATV (but not all), far fewer Android TV apps have been. As a result nVidia have added a slightly kludgey manual solution to get round it.
Roku implemented fully automatic frame rate switching, but then had to disable it for Netflix because the Netflix autoplayed trailers flipped frame rates as you went from 23.976 to 25 to 29.97 trailers and TVs were re-syncing frantically as you surfed between shows. (You want the app to know the difference between a trailer and a full movie/show and only change frame rate for the full movie/show - not all video...)
