Interested in upgrading your TV without actually buying a new model? Or perhaps you’re interested in switching to the Fire OS to watch all your favorite shows without the hassle? You can’t go wrong with the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K.
It’s easy to use, it’s affordable, and better yet, it’s often on sale. During the recent October Prime Day, we saw some incredible lows across the entire range of Amazon’s TV sticks, including the 4K model. And with Black Friday fast approaching, we’re hoping we see the same low prices or better.
Why we love the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
There’s so many reasons to love the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, but I think the ease of setup trumps them all. You’d think that any device that can transform your TV so significantly would require lots of steps, settings, and stress. But in reality, all you need to do is plug it in and go. The TV stick is plugged into your TVs HDMI port, and then a cable is plugged into a wall socket. And that’s it. No, really. Just turn your TV on with the remote that comes included with the box and you’re ready to start streaming.
The box also comes with everything you’ll need: the TV stick, an extension cable for the TV stick (ideal if your TV is mounted on the wall), a socket to power it, a remote, and batteries for the remote. As soon as your Amazon driver delivers the parcel, you’ve got everything you need.
The 4K model also differs from previous variations of the Fire TV Stick, with this one specifically for 4K-ready TVs. You’ll be able to watch all your favorite shows and movies in 4K Ultra HD with support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and immersive Dolby Atmos audio.
It also comes with Alexa, as you would expect from an Amazon device. Press the blue Alexa button on the remote to search for movies, shows, or to find out what that one actor’s name is. And if you’ve got compatible smart home devices, you can use the remote to dim lights, check cameras, or adjust other gadgets without leaving the couch. Some may call it lazy, we call it efficient.
Black Friday deal we hope to see on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
The Fire Stick 4K regularly comes down to $29.99 from $49.99. However, if you like to save to the absolute max, we’re hoping Black Friday can beat this deal. During October Prime Day, this model came down to $24.99, an extra $5 savings. This was also its lowest-ever price — basically a steal. We won’t be satisfied unless this record-low is at least matched over Black Friday.
