  • Cheap, 4K HDR support, Alexa voice control works well
  • Can't be powered by some TVs, No access to Now TV
  • The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K represents excellent value for money. It has most of the catch-up TV apps and premium streaming services you could ever need (with one or two notable exceptions) and it's compatible with an impressive range of HDR standards out...

  • It's the presence of 4K HDR content from Amazon Prime and Netflix that makes opting for the Fire TV Stick 4K worth it over and above the Full HD version – so long as you have a compatible TV, of course.The value of the Amazon's device can't be questioned...

  • No Now TV app, Not much 4K HDR content, Limited Alexa abilities for non-Amazon apps, Lame YouTube support
  • Amazon has produced another excellent little streamer. Because it's soooo Prime-centric, you'd be bonkers to buy it if you're not a subscriber. Having said that, the selection of third-party apps is excellent if you ignore Now TV, as indeed Amazon has. F...

  • The sheer volume of stuff to watch makes it inevitably unwieldy, There's very little so far that actually plays back with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ or Atmos
  • Because of the way Amazon has priced its 4K Stick, and the way it's then packed it with quality content, albeit content that you largely have to pay for in one way or another, recommending it becomes something of a no-brainer.To my mind, Roku's Streaming...
