Amazon's cheap 4K streaming stick drops to under $20 for the first time

Amazon just broke the record-low price for its cheapest streaming stick. Right now, you can get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select for just $19.99 (was $39.99).

Also, as part of a wider sale on its streaming devices, both the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus and Fire TV Stick 4K Max are also reduced.

The biggest discount, though, is 50% off the latest Fire TV Stick 4K Select. It gets even cheaper if you have a used item to trade in. Just a few examples include an old Fire TV Stick, Roku, or other Amazon device like an Echo Dot.

For its lowest price yet, the 4K Select Stick is worth getting for anyone who just needs a basic streaming stick with 4K.

Is the Fire TV Stick 4K Select worth it?

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select just keeps getting cheaper. As Amazon's most budget-friendly streaming stick, it already offered plenty with 4K streaming, HDR10+, Dolby-encoded audio (HDMI pass-through), and compatibility with Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming for under $40. Now for $19.99, this is its lowest price yet and is worth getting for your basic 4K streaming stick needs.

While we haven't reviewed the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, we've regularly rated Amazon Fire TV Sticks four out of five stars or higher. The value for money is unbeatable for budget-conscious customers already familiar with the Amazon ecosystem, and it still offers 4K UHD and HDR10+ support. It also supports cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass.

There aren't many differences between the Fire TV Stick 4K Select and Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (formerly the standard Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K). That said, if you want Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, then I'd advise paying the extra $10 to buy the 4K Plus for $29.99 (was $49.99).
