whats the best android tv box?

[xraiderv1]

so, whilst perusing the amazon black friday sales ad, looking for an hdmi splitter(outgrew my 3 port splitter..need a 4 or better..), I came across a bunch of strange products, called android tv boxes.

what are they? and what is the best one currently on the market, for use on a 1080p tv?

Used for Streaming similar to Amazon's Firestick.

You can turn your TV into a smart TV.

It's Android so it's like having the same OS as your phone.

Best one is probably the Nvidia Shield.

I personally don't need that much "power" and I use the Xiaomi Mi Box S. It has UHD 4k capability and the streaming is fantastic on my 4k TV.
