The most obvious way is by turning it into a smart TV, so you can stream content from practically any platform right to your TV.</p><p>Whether you’re trying to watch Apple TV, Pluto TV, Max or almost any streaming service you can think of, there’s most likely an app for it among the hundreds of apps for the Fire TV Stick.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="voice-commands-for-your-tv" data-nav="hidden">Voice Commands for Your TV</h3><p>The second major way that the Amazon Fire TV Stick improves an existing TV is with the included remote control. All Fire TV Sticks currently on the market come with an Alexa voice remote that lets you control your TV with voice commands.</p><figure itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="figure text-center full full" data-id="55247"><picture><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/firetv-remote.webp" type="image/webp" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/firetv-remote.jpg" media="(min-width: 1400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/firetv-remote-800x800.jpg" media="(min-width: 400px)" /><source srcset="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/firetv-remote-680x680.jpg" media="(min-width: 200px)" /><img decoding="async" width="800" height="800" loading="lazy" class="square" src="https://www.commquer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/firetv-remote-800x800.jpg" alt="firetv remote" title="firetv-remote"><figcaption itemprop="caption"><div class="caption"> All Fire TV Sticks on the market include an Alexa voice remote. </div></figcaption></figure><p>To use the <a href="https://www.rd.com/article/is-alexa-really-always-listening" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alexa voice</a> control, simply hold down the microphone button on the remote and say what you want. This can be anything from changing the volume or input on the TV to looking for a particular type of content. For example, you can say “show me action movies” and Alexa will pull up a list of relevant movies from whatever streaming service you’re logged in to.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="video-audio-quality" data-nav="hidden">Video & Audio Quality</h3><p>Finally, depending on your current television setup and the model of Fire TV Stick you choose, the Fire TV Stick can actually improve the quality of your sound and picture. The Fire TV Stick 4K can handle 4K HDR as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.</p><p>HDR and Dolby Vision improve upon the ultra-HD sharpness of 4K by boosting color clarity and depth over normal 4K video, while Dolby Atmos creates a spatial surround sound experience by using object-based sound rather than encoded channels like traditional surround sound. </p><p>These features, when supported by your TV and streaming service, can offer an improved viewing experience. Netflix, for example, produces all of its original content in HDR, and much of it also has Dolby Vision. Fire TV Sticks also support the more traditional 5.1 surround sound format.</p></section><section><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="amazon-fire-tv-stick-pricing">Amazon Fire TV Stick Pricing</h2><p>There are several models of the Amazon Fire TV Stick available, and the features of the model you choose will affect the price.
