The Fire TV Stick that I advise almost everyone I know to buy is halfway between HD and 4K

Very recently, Amazon launched a new model of the Fire TV Stick with the aim of covering a good part of the market. He Fire TV Stick Select is positioned as a attractive device for many televisions that are compatible with some of the functions and technologies present in the Fire TV Stick 4K and 4K Maxbut not with all of them.

A device halfway between HD and 4K models

He Fire TV Stick Select is the second dongle cheapest on Amazon and is halfway in terms of specifications (and price) between the HD and 4K models. It is the one that I usually recommend to my acquaintances, since it shares some similarities with these two devices, the most interesting being the 4K resolution which is present in all Fire TV Sticks, except for the HD.

Although the device is compatible with formats such as HDR10, HDR10+ or ​​HLGit is not with some of the most interesting technologies for viewing content, as is the case with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. That is why it is more aimed at those televisions that can play 4K content, but their screens or speakers are not compatible with the two Dolby formats.

What we also find is compatibility with the cloud gaming servicessomething that until now was only present in the 4K and 4K Max models. In this way, as long as you have an active subscription, you can access services such as Amazon Moon and Xbox Game Pass.
