Streaming sticks can revitalize an older TV and enhance the functionality of a modern one. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K is among the most budget-friendly options, offering a swift interface, access to a wide range of streaming apps, and the capability to manage smart home devices from the comfort of your couch. While the next Prime Day event is set for Tuesday, July 8th, the streaming device is already discounted to $24.99 ($24.99 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, marking its lowest price this year.
The Fire TV Stick 4K excels in streaming TV shows and films from major services such as Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, and numerous FAST (Free Ad-Supported TV) channels in HD or 4K. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus, Dolby Atmos, DTS, and various other HDR and surround sound formats, letting you maximize your TV, projector, or home theater’s potential. Beyond streaming audio and video, it’s well integrated with Alexa and other Amazon services.
The Alexa Voice Remote that comes with it features a blue button near the top that activates the voice assistant when pressed, allowing it to answer your queries, change your TV’s volume and input, and control other Fire TV elements via voice commands. Xbox Game Pass or Amazon Luna subscribers can also stream games from these services’ libraries using the Fire TV Stick 4K and play them with a compatible Bluetooth controller, like Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller. Streaming games via the cloud necessitates a robust internet connection, but due to latency, fast-paced games might not provide the same level of enjoyment as playing on a current-gen console or PC.
Even if you don’t take advantage of the additional gaming features, the Fire TV Stick 4K is a great buy, whether you’re catching up on the latest season of Severance or watching your favorite YouTube channel.
