If you own an older HD TV, there’s a chance it may not have built-in internet features, like access to streaming apps or screen mirroring. This means the TV in question is not a smart TV. Fortunately, devices like the Amazon Fire TV Streaming Stick lineup allow you to add smart capabilities to an older TV and are relatively inexpensive.
As a matter of fact, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (one of Amazon’s best models) is discounted to $40 this week at Amazon and Best Buy. Usually, this streaming device costs $60, so you’ll be saving yourself $20 when you purchase it ASAP. The stick has hit prices as low as $32, but not since the 2024 holiday season.
Why you should buy the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
We tested the Fire TV Stick 4K Max back in November 2023, and reviewer Phil Nickinson praised the device for its faster Wi-Fi, improved storage, and better processor. “If you’re going to buy a Fire TV Stick of some sort, you probably want the mouthful that is the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.”
The latest edition of the 4K Max has up to 16GB of storage, so you’ll be able to download more apps and games than ever before. Even if you’re not interested in subscribing to Netflix and similar platforms, Amazon’s Fire TV hub gives you access to hundreds of free live TV channels, too. There’s even an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate app for remote gaming (subscription required for most titles)!
The Alexa Voice Remote Enhanced puts Amazon’s digital companion in the captain’s chair of your home theater. Use the assistant to search for movies and shows, control smart home devices, and more. And thanks to class-leading HDR support, you’ll be treated to glorious color highlights when watching HDR content.
We’re not sure if the Fire TV Stick 4K Max will be back to full price next week, but the chance is 50/50 as we speak. Do yourself a favor and save the $20 when you buy right now. We also suggest taking a look at our lists of the best Amazon deals, top Best Buy deals, and best TV deals.
