Overview
A 4K streaming stick is the cheapest big upgrade you can make to a living room. Plug it into a spare HDMI port and an ageing or "dumb" TV instantly gains a fast, modern interface with every major app, 4K HDR picture and a voice remote that finds shows without typing. This one is quick and responsive — menus don't stutter, apps open fast — and it pulls in free ad-supported channels alongside your paid subscriptions. Setup takes minutes, the remote controls your TV's power and volume too, and the whole thing tucks out of sight behind the screen.
