These things don't go on sale easily. If they do grab it quick. I am lurking in the forums and waiting for one to pop-up sooner or later too.

Yes I know seems like once you buy one you do not get rid of it quickly

Hoping someone maybe upgraded to the new one. Will keep my eyes peeled.

Where can we buy the 2019 Models in SA ?
No one has stock or they did not arrive in SA yet
i Would like to buy a new one , pro version but where ?
Maybe if there is enough interest someone can buy them for us overseas , sanitize them and sell them here ?
Who is doing all the imports on this forum?
Thanks

Ordered and received the non-pro from Amazon last month while it was on special. Came to R2750 all in, and Amazon even refunded me R37.50 of the customs deposit.
Also arrived in 4 working days. Well worth the effort IMHO.
P.S. it'll work out at about ZAR 3,113.72 at the moment, I'm guessing due to the exchange rate..

Hey thanks will check it out

What happens with the power, is it just plug and play or do you need a converter?
thanks

It's got switchable power supply on board, accepts 110 and 220v auto, regular 2 prong plug.

I.e. No power brick which is pretty nifty

Hi , Just a follow up ...
I bought a Pro one from a local retailer and so far it plays all my files
Atmos , Dts-X and all formats are working with HDR10
Must just install Dstv now to test it , not really using it because i use my decoder
It feels very fast and the upscaling looks nice
Really got a few extra settings for video ,audio and more that the other players did not have
Now i can watch all my movies in this lockdown time
Thanks

does netflix support atmos on the shield?

 

[Mossiemos]

The 2019 Shields support Dolby Vision, HDR10 (not HDR10+), Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. So you'll find plenty of 4K HDR movies and TV shows from all the usual suspects, and the Netflix app finally outputs Atmos on Shield.
