  • 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...

  • The menu system is still too bloated, Genre searches are Alexa's weak spot, No support for YouTube TV, our favorite live TV streaming service
  • Amazon's new Fire TV Stick sheds past mistakes and streams 4K HDR at an unbeatable price...

  • The Fire TV Stick's UI is dropdead gorgeous, If Amazon Prime is your main source of streaming content, you might love the navigation of the UI. It does one thing better than any other media streamer by far: it makes finding 4K content on Amazon Prime stup
  • Amazon makes IP control via advanced control systems a needless nightmare, Amazon Prime video content is forcefully prioritized to the exclusion of everything else, As such, finding the app you're looking for can be needlessly complicated, unless you use
  • There's a lot more I could say about the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, including a lot of positives. One thing worth noting is that when I switch back and forth between its UI and that of my beloved Roku Ultra, the latter looks absolutely archaic by comparison...

  • Easy access to 4K content, Remote now controls your TV, supports Alexa, Also supports HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision
  • No smartphone display mirroring, Voice search still doesn't work within Netflix and other apps, No native YouTube app, ShareTweet, Facebook Comments
  • If you don't own a 4K or HDR TV, and don't plan on upgrading to one either, get the regular Fire TV Stick. At Rs 3,999, it's cheaper and works perfectly. Plus streaming in 1080p consumes less data too. If you already have a Fire TV Stick and are happy wit...
