Amazon’s cheapest streamer gets a small update: meet the Fire TV Stick HD.

Amazon’s new streaming stick improves the one we reviewed in 2020 with an Alexa voice remote and HDMI-ARC.

However, it’s still limited to 1080p, and even at $34.99, you’re still probably better off waiting for another sale on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Other cheap alternatives include the Roku Express and the 4K-capable Chromecast with Google TV.

Note: If you buy something from these links, we might get affiliate revenue.
