Amazon is offering a 50% discount on the Fire TV 4K media streaming stick for HDTVs. This drops the price from an MSRP of $49.99 to $24.99.
The Fire TV 4K can access movies and TV shows from Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Fire TV Channels in 4K resolution, with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and HDR10+ compatibility. The stick can also stream from other services, including Netflix, Disney+, Tubi, Twitch, YouTube, and Pluto TV. Gamers can play cloud-hosted games with Amazon Luna or Xbox Game Pass and a compatible game controller (like this Xbox controller).
The streaming stick has a 1.7 Ghz CPU with four cores and dual-band Wi-Fi 6. It comes with an infrared Alexa Voice remote control that can also control Alexa Home Theater devices as well as smart home devices, including security cameras and lights. A USB power supply powers the stick, which plugs directly into any HDMI port on a TV.
Readers wondering why the Fire sticks have been popular with tinkerers should know that it is very easy to install Kodi and other apps for media streaming from alternative sources once developer mode is enabled and the Downloader app installed.
