Even in the ago of the smart TV, streaming devices abound—and are often a better choice for watching the likes of Netflix and Hulu than your flatscreen's built-in features, since they can offer a wider range of apps and greater customizability. One of your options comes from Amazon, and right now, the company is running a sale of up to 40% off on all of its Fire TV Sticks.
The Fire TV Stick can make any HDMI-equipped TV into a "smart" one, broadening your entertainment choices. You'll be able to stream platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, and Prime Video. You'll also get access to free, ad-supported streaming services such as IMDb TV, Tubi, and Pluto TV. Since it is an Amazon product, it's equipped with Alexa, so you can control your TV with voice commands via the remote.
Depending on your TV's resolution and your home wifi setup, there is a specific Fire TV Stick out there for you.
