Great Alternative to Standard TV OS
I purchased this because my TV is running Android TV and tends to have problems with lagging (both input and wifi) and things just not working.Pairing the stick with my TV was easy, except make sure to not make the mistake I did and change the volume when it is pairing. It will make you setup again.Pairing with my Echo Dot was easy but upsets me that I can't do everything I wanted to (some typical commands that don't work right or how I expected).Other than that, the quality is great. The wifi is fast and matches easy with my Amazon EERO wifi so it doesn't lag or buffer on videos. The remote is very responsive, and I expect it to stay that way. Installing and opening / logging into apps is very easy. The alexa button on the remote is sensitive to touch though, so make sure you finish speaking a second or two before you let go of the button.The picture is of my TV in the Fire TV ambient mode. It is nice to leave different sceneries displayed on my TV or photos that I choose.

LOVE IT!!

I have used fire sticks for over a decade & needed to update mine for more storage capacity. The 4k is perfect.

It's an extremely easy set up & I love the new screen savers they use.

The synergy with my Alexa devices is particularly impressive, allowing for seamless voice commands to control viewing options.

I love the ambient mode..what a clever feature. It provides a serene backdrop that displays my schedule and to-dos when the screen is idle.

It is also easy to stream movies with this 4k stick from a home media server over windows networking (smb).
I am really surprised the Firestick's are not more popular.

You can also play console style games on it as well! I haven't tried that, but look forward to giving it a whirl.

I am very, very pleased with my decision to purchase this product,

I am also very pleased that Amazon designed a nice device with a good interface that integrates the streaming content into the main page. I love the voice control option theology the remote or I can use my Alexa to control it.

I like that the remote has the buttons for Netflix, prime, Disney & peacock as I use all of those apps.

For various reasons, I decided it was time to at least try a different streaming device, and I figured a FireTV Stick would be the obvious solution.

I wanted a responsive device, and to try to ensure this, I figured I might as well go for the top model of the FireTV Stick, so I ordered the 4K Max. This device does not at all disappoint in that regard! It is very snappy while navigating through the UI and the various streaming apps I utilize, so I'm very pleased with that.

It comes with a short HDMI extender, which is a great touch because it makes using a "stick" form device such as this not interfere with being in the way of your other HDMI ports.

Make sure you use the power adapter it came with (or a USB adapter capable of outputting 2 Amps) because you will run in to problems quickly if it doesn't detect enough amperage. I rather wish it came with a longer cable, as it is not uncommon these days for a TV to be wall mounted, but that's just my own opinion.

Setup is very easily done and has nice guidance every step of the way. Even getting the remote to work with my TV was super easy and included in the first time setup guidance. The remote ended up only being able to control my TV's power and volume, which is not a big deal, and I'm sure most individuals who buy this intend to use it as the main source of media to play on their TV.

Streaming from various services is an absolute blast and I've had no issues there.

I rather wish there were more big name options for aftermarket remotes, it seems like there are for every other major streaming device, but on the other hand I've never personally heard of anyone's FireTV remote having issues.

If you have a non-smart TV or an aging smart TV that is getting laggy, the FireTV Stick will serve you well for years to come, go for it!

The FireTV Stick 4K Max also has an option for a service that allows you to play games from your PC on your TV, I am intrigued to try the trial of that at some point just to see how it is.

***For Plex users:**** This is in no way, as far as I can tell, any fault of the device itself. Certain movies will get stuck and after a while make an error pop up, and certain shows will result in the audio playing but the screen being stuck black when the auto play starts the next episode. I have tried everything, and I mean everything. Everything else has never given me this issue. I have gone so far as factory resetting the FireTV Stick, rebuilding my media libraries, cold starting every device on my network, and gone through every single setting in the Plex app. This has resulted in my second issue with the autoplay being seemingly resolved, but again I do not think it is the device itself, or anything on my network, because I have installed what is essentially a media player that can connect to network shares and everything plays with no issue that way. So, yes, it seems to be an issue with the Plex app itself. Unfortunately, it seems forums are full of Plex users experiencing such things on FireTV devices. Again I cannot fault the device or Amazon for this in any way. Unfortunately though it leaves me trying to decide if I should just continue using the player application on my FireTV Stick, which is connected to the only TV I use, and that is mostly what I use when I'm watching anything. If I do that, I have very little reason to run Plex, but I like its layout and I've put a lot of time and effort over the years in to getting it just the way I like it. I can hope that an upcoming update fixes things, I could buy a Plex Pass and see if this improves things, I could switch to Emby and pay their monthly charge, or I could purchase a different streaming device.....it's a tough spot....

Configuration: Fire TV Stick 4K MaxVerified Purchase
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max has proven to be an exceptional upgrade to my home entertainment system. The intuitive setup process was a highlight, offering straightforward prompts that facilitated a quick and effortless installation. Its performance is a step above earlier models, with a faster interface that enhances the overall ease of use.

The synergy with Echo/Alexa devices is particularly impressive, allowing for seamless voice commands to control viewing options. The ambient mode is a clever feature, providing a serene backdrop that displays my schedule and to-dos when the screen is idle.

One of the key reasons for my purchase was dissatisfaction with the user interface of my Hisense TV. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max has been an excellent remedy, offering a superior interface that negates the need for a new television.

To further enrich the audio experience, I invested in two Echo Studios and an Echo Sub to explore the new home theater system capability. The result is a beautiful, cinema-like sound quality that fills the room, courtesy of the Dolby Atmos effect.

For anyone seeking a more refined and user-friendly streaming experience, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a worthwhile consideration. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
