On Thursday, Amazon accidentally leaked the new NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro and it was quickly taken down after they realized this mistake.
This comes in the wake of Newegg also leaking the new NVIDIA SHIELD Stick on the same day too.  That listing was also removed as well.
From the sounds of things, the new NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro will be available for purchase starting on October 28th, 2019.

 
The biggest changes with this new model is processing power, remote control, and Dolby Vision support.
The new device is similar in terms of design to its predecessor with 2 USB ports, Ethernet, and an HDMI port.
The new NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro uses an updated Tegra X1+ processor and 3GB of RAM.  NVIDIA claims that this processor will be approximately 25% more powerful than the current model.
The internal storage is the same as the older model with 16GB but can be increased via USB ports with external storage.

The remote control looks much different than the current model with motion activated backlit physical buttons for volume, power, play/pause.  Users will also enjoy a “lost remote locator” that will help them find their remote.  A Netflix button is located at the bottom which will quickly launch this popular streaming app.  The new remote control will be powered by actual batteries rather than a small coin battery.

The new Dolby Vision support is finally here but this could have also been issued to the previous device with a software update.  It will be interesting to see if the older device gets Dobly Vision support as well once the NVIDIA SHIELD Pro TV is released.
As of now, it appears that this device will sell for $199 which is $20 more than the previous model.

Will you be purchasing this new NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro?  Are you an existing NVIDIA SHIELD owner and are these updates worth upgrading?
I can see gamers enjoying the additional power but for those who use this for streaming only, it may be overkill.  And, the $199 price tag is a little high in my opinion.
