Improve your set-up with the retailer’s 4K-capable streaming stick
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Black Friday 2021 is fast approaching and bargain hunters are already being treated to a volley of early deals with savings to be found on everything from gaming, tech and laptops to home appliances, mattresses and beauty.
One of the first major retailers to start early-bird discounts was, of course, Amazon, which has become notorious in recent years for launching its sale at the beginning of November, giving shoppers almost an entire month to grab themselves a great deal.

In addition to savings on toys, Apple products and TVs, Amazon has also been slashing the prices of its own products, including the all-new Echo dot (was £49.99, now £28.99, Amazon.co.uk) and the Fire HD 10 kids pro tablet (was £199.99, now £109.99, Amazon.co.uk).
But, if you’ve had a TV streaming device on your shopping list, then we’ve found the deal for you because the online giant has also discounted the Fire TV stick 4K Max (was £54.99, now £36.99, Amazon.co.uk) by 33 per cent.

Amazon Fire TV stick 4K max: Was £54.99, now £36.99, Amazon.co.uk
Streaming devices have completely changed the way we enjoy our favourite TV shows and films and this one from Amazon ensures you’ll never miss out.
According to Amazon, this version of its Fire TV stick is its most powerful yet, with claims that it’s 40 per cent more powerful than the 4K model (was £49.99, now £24.99, Amazon.co.uk), with faster app starts and more fluid navigation. The stick lets you access a host of popular apps, including Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, and you can watch live TV, too.
But you don’t just have to take Amazon’s word for it as it was previously included in our guide to the best Android TV sticks, with our tester describing it as a “solid purchase” and “the best-value mainstream streaming device on the market”.
“Amazon says the 4K max is its quickest streaming device, and we’re inclined to agree: navigation is smooth and apps open up almost immediately,” our tester said. “Of course, the clincher here is the 4K compatibility, but the 4K max also supports Dolby Vision and Atmos audio, along with HDR, giving you an extra level of sharpness.” Plus, you can even link it to any smart home products you have, meaning you can view footage from your video doorbell without stopping what you’re watching on TV.
So, if you’re looking for a way to upgrade your home entertainment system, then this is the one for you – especially now it’s only £36.99.
