Post the Covid-19 breakout, there has been a significant increase in online content consumption and the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max aims at offering viewers a seamless content viewing experience.
This streamer has all-around improvements making it stand apart from its competitors and its predecessors. A new quad-core 1.8GHz Mediatek MT7921LS processor at its core offers all the processing power the streaming stick requires and thus results in smoother 4K content streaming.
The stick comes with support for various audio and video standards including - 4K UHD, HDR, and HDR10+ streaming, apart from Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos that offers a theatre-like experience right at your home.
