NVIDIA Releases 9.1.1 Update for Shield

I love that NVIDIA keeps updating the Shield, especially the focus on improving the HDMI-CEC functionality. Update applied seamlessly, it was waiting when I went to check on the 2019, I had to ask for it on the 2017. No issues noted, good stuff.

Today we released SHIELD Experience Upgrade v9.1.1 (33.2.0.157) for all SHIELD and SHIELD Pro units. This update is based on SHIELD Experience Upgrade 9.1 and includes the following fixes and enhancements;

Enhancements

• Adds power control option to wake SHIELD when TV input changes to SHIELD
• Adds developer option to force Dolby Vision Low Latency if available. Enable if Dolby Vision not properly detected on some Philips OLED TVs

• General cleanup and re-organization of developer options
