The amazon fire tv stick hd sale has cut the price of Amazon’s newest streaming stick to $19.99, according to retailer listings cited by NBC Select. The deal takes 43% off the device’s $34.99 list price, putting a low-cost TV upgrade in reach for shoppers who want streaming apps on an HDMI-equipped television.
NBC Select reported that the same $19.99 price is available at Amazon, Target and Best Buy. The outlet described it as the device’s lowest price ever and said Amazon lists more than 10,000 purchases of the streaming stick in the past month.
Is the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD on sale?
Yes. NBC Select reported that Amazon’s newest Fire TV Stick HD is currently marked down 43%, bringing the price to just under $20 from $34.99 at Amazon, Target and Best Buy.
The Fire TV Stick HD is Amazon’s compact streaming device that plugs into a TV’s HDMI port, according to NBC Select. It is meant to add app-based streaming to a television and supports 1080p Full HD video.
What the Fire TV Stick HD includes
NBC Select reported that the device gives users access to thousands of apps and more than a million free movies and TV episodes. The streaming stick comes with Wi-Fi 6 support, which Amazon says is intended to improve streaming performance on crowded home networks.
The newest model has a slimmer design than earlier versions, according to NBC Select. The outlet said it is about 30% thinner than prior models, making it easier to fit behind wall-mounted TVs without using an HDMI extension cable.
NBC Select also reported that the device can be powered through a TV’s USB port, which may remove the need for a separate wall adapter depending on the setup. Setup takes only a few minutes, according to the outlet.
The package includes an Alexa-enabled remote, NBC Select reported. The remote can control TV power and volume, search across apps with voice commands and use Alexa+ for more personalized recommendations, according to the outlet.
Which apps are available?
NBC Select said major streaming apps come preinstalled on the Fire TV Stick HD, including Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Apple TV+ and YouTube. The outlet also listed free, ad-supported services such as Tubi, Pluto TV and Freevee.
Some services require separate paid subscriptions, while free ad-supported apps do not charge a subscription fee but include commercials. A streaming stick does not replace an internet connection; it uses home Wi-Fi to deliver apps and video to the TV.
NBC Select said it independently chooses the products it covers and may earn a commission when readers buy through its links.
