I do have one caution.  When I was testing more this afternoon, the Shield
TV started having issues with every app. The screen would go blank and the
sound would mute for a second or two once in a while. I tried playing with
settings, moving HDMI cables around, eliminating HDMI switches, etc. It may
just be my older TV. It's a Samsung UHD, but 5 or more years old. Resetting
back to factory settings didn't solve the issue, just created more work for
me. I also tried Amazon Prime Video and it would not play the program Bosch
in 4K like it always did in the last version of Shield experience.  I'll
work more with it tomorrow.
