The Fire TV Stick HD is your entry point. It handles 1080p, and that's pretty much the whole story. It works fine for an older TV-the kind you put in the guest room or the garage. At $25, it's cheap, it's simple, and it's a little slow, both performance-wise and thanks to its aging Wi-Fi 5 chipset. If you have a 4K television, walk past this one and don't look back. If you insist on buying it, wait for a sale. They happen often.
