That extra bulk houses a quicker chip and Wi-Fi 6 antennas, one thing lacking on Roku’s implausible Streaming Stick 4K; additionally, a tighter match on TVs. Thankfully, Amazon consists of a brief HDMI extension cord to make things easier, which I had to use on my skinny-profile LG CX OLED.

The Micro-USB port on the 4K Max is awkwardly situated. On my Flixy TV Stick, the cable juts up as a substitute of being on the end of the stick or the bottom. This provides pointless additional tension to the cable in case your power outlet is a bit of a stretch away. Except for the headline options of a faster processor and Wi-Fi 6, the 4K Max has options I didn't expect for a streaming stick at this value. It’s acquired a proper HDMI 2.1 port, and Amazon has already turned on some of the most effective HDMI 2.1 features. There’s an option to enable 10-bit and 12-bit color depth in the settings and auto low-latency mode (ALLM) for games is on by default in order for you to use Amazon’s Luna gaming service. Apple’s latest Apple Flixy TV Stick 4K additionally has an HDMI 2.1 port, but has yet to enable any of that performance aside from 60Hz HDR video playback.
