In addition to e-readers, cameras and smartwatches, you can also get streaming devices at a huge discount this Prime Day. NVIDIA’s Shield streamers, for example, are currently listed at the lowest prices we’ve seen for them on the website. You can get the base NVIDIA Shield TV media player for $125, or $25 off its original retail price. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro will now set you back just $170, giving it a $30 discount and $9 off its previous all-time low.

Both devices are powered by Android TV and come with Google Assistant built-in, allowing you to control them with voice commands through a Google Home speaker. However, they are also Alexa compatible and work with Amazon’s Echo speakers. In addition, they come complete with remote controls that enable voice search and have motion-activated backlit buttons. NVIDIA Tegra X1+ devices also support 4K HDR Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos audio and Chromecast streaming, making it easy to stream videos and other content from your mobile device to your TV. If you have a GeForce Now account, you can turn Shield TVs into gaming platforms to stream games from the cloud service as well.

The latest Apple TV 4K is also currently on sale for a Prime Day low of $109, which may make it the more tempting option of the two. However, the Shield TV Pro has something to offer that the Apple TV doesn’t: you can set it up as a Plex server, so you can create your own home streaming service for your personal videos, movies, shows and photo collection.
