Fire tv stick 4k review canada.
The biggest difference between this stick and the ones that came before it is that this one has been updated.
Priced at 20 higher than the hd one the 69 99 fire tv stick 4k uses a faster 1 7 ghz quad core cpu but offers much the same experience albeit in higher resolution the stick has support for dolby vision hdr10 and dolby atmos.
4k is simply the max resolution that the fire tv stick 4k will deliver.
If you have an hdmi input on your television this new firestick should work great for you.
Audio improvements on the fire tv stick 4k.
The fire tv stick 4k is capable of dolby atmos 7 1 surround sound 2 channel stereo and hdmi audio pass through up to 5 1.
The bottom line it flogs amazon content too much to beat roku but for alexa fans or 4k hdr tv owners who insist on dolby vision the fire tv 4k stick is a great value.
That puts it below other 4k streaming devices such as the roku streaming stick 89 99 cad google chromecast ultra 90 cad apple tv 4k 229 cad and nvidia shield 259 cad.
Despite those gripes the fire tv stick 4k comes away as a very strong value.
You can stream from prime video and netflix as well as catch up services such as bbc s.
If you ve got a dolby vision compatible tv it s probably a better buy than the fire tv cube and will cost you less.
It s a simple rectangular matte black plastic bar with a male hdmi connector on.
The good the amazon fire tv stick is one of the least expensive streamers you can buy.
