I’m in a pretty dark sky area in Australia, was able to make out the colours and waves / lines with the naked eye at its peak. Camera showed lush, bright reds even with about 10-15 seconds of exposure.

No drawbacks for my use case, but there are a few quirks.
Some apps that I’ve dabbled with might show vertically, but most of the Android TV compatible apps were fine.
Some apps seem to expect a touchscreen input, and don’t really show what’s highlighted or selected very well, so navigating with just a TV style remote control can be tricky. I have a mouse and keyboard that I also use, definitely the easiest option.
Lastly, the Shield is a pretty powerful device, so I always kinda feel like I’m not using it to its fullest potential. I haven’t really tried any gaming with it, I don’t use it as a media server or anything, just a simple stream box. That’s less of a quirk with the device itself, and more an issue with me feeling like I should be putting it to better use.
Happy to answer any other questions you may have!
I have an Nvidia Shield running LineageOS.
The setup process wasn’t too bad, but the Shield might be more money than you want to spend.
I use it for Netflix and Plex, as well as Spotify, with no problems. It tells me that Netflix is not optimised for the device, but plays fine. I’ve heard that Netflix may limit it to 720p, but the quality is as good as you can expect from Netflix anyway.
Plex works perfectly, can stream 4k from my media server with no issues. I will eventually transition to Jellyfin, once I convince the 4 other households that have access to my Plex library to sort themselves out.
16-bit colour gives us around 65000 colours, 24-bit colour gives us the millions mentioned above.
That was a couple of years ago, Vince has already forgotten.
Disney has been doing this for the last 80 years or so.
Sudoku! There’s a few different apps on F-Droid, take your pick of the one that looks the best to you. The underlying game is the same, but some apps have different versions that add some complexity to keep you thinking.
Would that’t’were so simple.
But then where will I get to see an overexposed background image, some all caps text, and a portrait of someone with their mouth open, all at once?
Did number 2 the same, then again with killing everyone and no powers. First playthrough took forever, second was only a few hours.
