Amazon started its ascent into making hardware with the Kindle. Still, its Fire TV media players have shown the company to be ultra-competitive when pitted against Apple, Google, and Roku (who just started selling new TVs if you prefer all-in-one streamer screens). The performance: price ratio is tipped even further toward value because Amazon has discounted many of its Fire digital media devices by up to $20. That may not seem like much of a price cut, but Amazon’s hardware is reasonably inexpensive at its full price so even a small discount brings it firmly into impulse purchase territory.

The Fire TV Stick 4K is Amazon’s entry-level media streamer, and this deal marks it down to within $5 of its lowest price ever. As its name implies, the svelte steaming stick can play video at 4K, and it supports Dolby Atmos HDR for more vivid colors that match its high resolution. Surprisingly, the Fire TV Stick 4K also supports Dolby Atmos, so those with the proper HDMI eARC ports and a compatible surround sound system will get the full cinematic experience.

Amazon bundles the Fire Stick 4K with its Alexa remote, which allows you to access the smart assistant to control your TV’s functions (volume, inputs, etc.), play TV shows and movies without opening an app, or control Alexa-enabled smart home devices. Don’t skip this deal if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to make an older TV smart and already have gear that works within Amazon’s ecosystem.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
