"Back when the Amazon Fire TV Stick first showed up, the whole pitch was basically, "Hey, plug this in and boom-your old TV is suddenly smart." Fast-forward to now, and most TVs fresh off the shelf already have some kind of smart interface built in. The thing is, a lot of those built-in interfaces... kind of suck. Some companies still haven't cracked the code on making a simple, smooth UI. (Looking at you, LG, with your strange Wiimote-wannabe remotes)."
"So at this point, the real draw of the Fire TV Stick isn't that it makes your TV "smart"-it's that it gives you a better smart experience. And right now, the newest Fire TV Stick HD is down to just $18. Normally it runs $35, but this deal chops nearly half off the price, which is pretty hard to complain about."
Most new TVs include a smart interface, but many built-in UIs remain clunky and inconsistent, making external streaming sticks appealing. The Fire TV Stick HD provides a smoother, more unified smart-TV experience and simplifies navigation with an Alexa voice remote that searches across apps and pulls up content by voice. The device supports major subscription apps and offers many free, ad-supported services like Freevee, Tubi, and Pluto TV. The latest Fire TV Stick HD is heavily discounted to $18 from $35, making it an inexpensive upgrade. Cloud-based gaming is also becoming more practical on the platform.
