In order to be able to enjoy Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and Co. on your television at home, you either need a TV with a smart TV function or a streaming stick. Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks are among the most popular streaming devices for a reason. They offer a huge selection of apps and can be easily operated with the smart Alexa remote. The 4K versions offer the best possible image quality and let films and series shine in a whole new light.

Particularly practical: The TV and other devices such as sound bars can be operated with the Alexa voice remote control. So all you need is a remote control. Not only TV devices can be controlled, but also smart home devices that have nothing to do with the television.
These smart home devices are compatible with Alexa *
The remote also offers preset buttons for one-touch access to Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Music.
Why a streaming stick is also worthwhile with a smart TV
Almost every current TV is now “smart” and thus has direct access to streaming services such as Netflix or Amazon Prime via the TV. However, it can still be worth getting a streaming stick. The operating system of some TV providers is usually not updated regularly enough and some important apps are missing. For example, LG still does not support Magenta TV in its operating system, which is annoying for affected users.

What is the difference between the Fire TV 4K and the Fire TV 4K Max?
The 4K Max has a faster processor, that offers 40% more power. This means that apps start even faster and operation is even quicker. It also offers the more up-to-date WiFi 6 standard, which can not only achieve significantly higher data rates, but also protects the battery of end devices such as the Fire TV 4K Max Stick thanks to the new Target Wake Time function.
You have to decide for yourself whether these functions are important to you. The normal Fire TV 4K is already a top device that leaves hardly any streaming wishes unfulfilled.
