From PC Mag: Amazon just unveiled its first sub-$50 media streamer capable of streaming 4K content.
The new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a media hub that supports ultra high definition (UHD, or 4K) streaming video with high dynamic range (HDR) in HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision formats.
The Fire TV Stick 4K features a 1.7GHz quad-core processor that Amazon claims is 80 percent more powerful than the standard Fire TV Stick. This improved performance should result in faster menu navigation and app switching, but more importantly it enables 4K video streaming when the Fire TV Stick only supports video up to 1080p.
The Dolby Vision support is also notable; Roku recently announced its own sub-$50 4K media streamers, the Roku Premiere and Premiere+, but they only support HDR content in HDR10 and not Dolby Vision.
