Today’s Cyber Monday, and Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks are being sold at a great discount. Alongside many other amazing deals, Amazon is offering Fire TV Sticks in either HD or 4K models for up to 50% off. This means you can upgrade your TV setup for as low as $15 today.
So which streaming device should you choose? If you don’t have a 4K TV or are not particularly worried about streaming in the highest resolution, the Amazon Fire TV Stick can upgrade your regular HD TV by granting you access to all the top streaming services, apps and voice controls that have become an essential part of contemporary smart TV designs. Since the price has been knocked down to 50% off, you can score the HD one for just $20 right now.
Streaming lets you cut cable without sacrificing entertainment, as the Fire TV stick will help you access more than 190 channels and apps, though keep in mind, some require a subscription. The Alexa voice remote can help you search for something to watch in seconds. And if you have Echo devices, you can pair them, too.
And if you do have a 4K TV and want to take advantage of 4K high definition streaming, consider the Fire TV Stick 4K or our favorite Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It remains our pick for the best Fire TV Stick overall. These devices include additional features, including the ability to set up profiles for anyone in your household to get personalized recommendations and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio. And the Max supports Wi-Fi 6! You can get the Fire TV Stick 4K for $25 right now, or grab the 4K Max for just $10 more. Both of these devices will work with non-4K TVs, but you’ll be limited to whatever your TV’s maximum resolution is, so it’s only a great deal if you have a 4K TV or plan to get one soon.
Another great feature of having a plug-and-play media streamer is that you can take your TV access with you when you’re away from home. Both devices work with HD TVs, so you can take your device with you to a friend’s house or on vacation and plug it in to get access to all your content. You can even play music through your TV through music streaming apps. Note: You must have a Wi-Fi connection for this device to work.
Amazon offers a number of Fire TV stick models, including a Fire TV Stick Lite, which is marked down to just $15 currently. While it doesn’t sport as many features as some of the other models, it makes for a great upgrade for bringing some intelligence to an older TV. And if you have held back on making the change before now due to privacy concerns, you can always add a Fire TV Stick VPN service to safeguard and protect your online identity, along with other benefits, for as little as $2 a month.
