Even though most TVs these days are smart TVs—equipped with access to all the big streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and more—the truth is not all manufacturer’s user interfaces are equal. Not naming names, but some are just downright crap. Luckily you can avoid ever engaging with any of that by bypass the built-in UI with a Fire TV Stick. They’re pretty inexpensive, but right now you can pay even less than usual. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max which normally sell for $60 has come down in price for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. The sale has it discounted by 42% which shave it down to just $35, saving you $25 in the process.
4K Streaming
As the name makes it very obvious, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is capable of streaming in *drumrollI* 4K resolution. The stick has built-in Wi-Fi 6E so it can handle the higher resolution streams. With phones, laptops, tablets, and even gaming consoles all competing for bandwidth, this Fire TV is able to keep playback smooth and load app’s content quickly. It’s also got support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+, adding more depth to what you’re watching. Dolby Atmos expands the depth of what you’re hearing too.
Xbox With No Console
That Wi-Fi 6E support also make streaming video games possible. Even though Xbox has dropped its “This Is An Xbox” campaign, there are still a number device out there that let you play Xbox games on them with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is one of them. Just get yourself either an official Xbox controller or really any controller with Bluetooth support, subscribe to Game Pass, and you’ll be able to access and play a huge catalogue of both first and third party Xbox titles. Games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Outer Worlds 2 all are your fingertips without having to drop over $600 on an Xbox Series X.
Smarter Search
Like every other new product that’s come out in the last several years, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is pushing the AI angle. The way the streamer implements it is through the search function. You can push down the Alexa button and just ask it, “show me action movies with car chases,” as the product page suggests. Not sure who’s looking for movies this way, but it is a thing you can do now.
Because of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, now is one of the best times to upgrade to one of these Fire TV Sticks, with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max being one of the better options. Get it today for just $35.
