Biggest differences functionally is that this adds support for dolby atmos to netflix which they didn't have on the regular 4k stick. They also added a very nice hdmi arc feature where if you plug this into your HDMI ARC port and you have say your echo studio or 2 paired up with it they will now work with say your cable box or bluray player which is a very cool feature so they're not just locked to the fire tv, well they are but they're more functional now. This feature isn't available on their other streaming devices not even on the firecube as far as I'm aware.

Thanx. Taking your advice and going to upgrade from my first line Firestick. It must be years old, as it's 6 button (plus select button) remote is slow. Hoping the 4K will be much faster.

I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one ru-vid.comUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!

I was looking at upgrading from my 2nd generation fire stick. About a year ago a purchased a Netgear 5k wireless router. So I guess unless I want to buy another router I should just go with 4K? Or is there an advantage still to the 4K Max even though I do not have 6K wifi?

@gphillimo 2 года назад

The fire tv 2nd gen flat box is the best device they ever put out. Already had spots to plug in ethernet, hdmi, SD card ect without having to by extra dongles and attachments. And it supports 4k. It came out 5 years ago with specs ahead of its time. They should have made a 3rd generation with faster frame rate 4k with a faster processor and more storage. That would blow anything else they have out of the water. That's the only thing I would ever upgrade to from Amazon streaming devices. BRING A 3RD GEN FIRE TV PLEASE!!!!!

I wonder if you could answer a question for me. I've just noticed that when I connect my Soundcore Q30 Bluetooth headphones to the 4k firestick the resolution on the Netflix App changes from 4K to just HD. Why would that be? I understand the audio would be 4k but the resolution? BTW on Amazon Prime App the resolution plays in uhd.
