The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus includes AI search functionality that helps you find anything by description rather than exact title. With the Stick, you can use voice commands to request movies by plot, actors, or scenes. This streaming device supports up to 4K video and operates with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos. The Stick also comes equipped with Wi-Fi 6E, which provides additional bandwidth for connections to multiple smart devices in your home. Since there’s less usage of the 6GHz frequency band used by Wi-Fi 6E compared to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, you’ll be able to stream stable 4K video content even if someone else is participating in a video conference in a different part of your house.

Head over to Amazon to get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus for just $40, down from its usual price of $70. That’s a $30 discount and 43% off.

A high-quality streaming stick with extensive features

The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus supports 4K Ultra HD picture quality at 3840 by 2160 pixels. It also supports multiple high dynamic range formats, including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Hybrid Log-Gamma. It can also play back Dolby Atmos, so when paired with a compatible soundbar or home theater receiver, the device creates an immersive surround-sound experience.

Setting up the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus typically takes about five minutes from unpacking. To begin, plug the streaming stick into an available HDMI input on your television. Once installed, it looks like nothing was added to your viewing area, since the whole thing hides behind the screen.

Its supported apps include Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube, and Apple TV. These appear in a single row on your home menu, making it easy to find content. Unlike earlier streaming sticks, where you’d need to open each app separately to see which version of a movie was available, the AI-powered search lets you enter a query and get suggestions from across all apps at once.

The Alexa Voice Remote lets users select and manage video content without using their TV remote. The remote has shortcut buttons for popular apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu. It also provides instant access to your television’s power and volume controls, so users don’t have multiple remotes cluttering the coffee table. If you lose this remote, you can use the Fire TV app on your mobile phone as an alternative. The stick can also serve as a smart home hub to integrate compatible smart devices such as cameras and lights.
