Our quick take
Alternatives to consider
Dongle design removes distractions
- Single HDMI connection to TV 65 x 65 x 15mm Alexa Remote in box
Simple setup
Connect, sign-in, watch TV HDR10 support, no Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos support, but no content
What is HDR, what TVs and devices support HDR, and what HDR content can I watch?
Google Chromecast Ultra review: 4K casting is perfect… yet pointless
Parental controls are well handled
Reality bites: Do you even need Fire TV in the smart TV era?
- Smart TVs offer most of the same apps
To recap
What the Fire TV offers is a way to plug a potential hole in your living room setup and it does so in a fun way that’s easier to understand than Google’s Chromecast Ultra. The only barrier that remains is whether this actually does anything that your 4K HDR smart TV doesn’t already do.
