If you’re going to buy a dedicated video streamer, you want it to do everything – and until now the only one that did that was the Apple TV 4K. But for just £50, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K has all the apps you need, supports all current HDR formats and throws in Dolby Atmos. That’s an astonishingly good deal, particularly when you factor in the all-round quality of the performance and excellent user-friendliness.
The Apple TV 4K is still the very best streamer – it has the edge in terms of picture and sound quality and, perhaps more importantly, gives you access to a better-stocked selection of 4K HDR films.
But the fact that you would have to spend £180 to better the Fire TV Stick 4K proves just what an exceptional bargain it is. You can also install IPTV which will give access to 1000’s channels!
