We've passed the era where 4K streaming is only for fancy folks. And thanks to this deal, you can get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select for $24.99 (was $39.99) as a cheap upgrade to your TV's built-in streaming interface.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Select is Amazon's entry-level 4K streaming stick. You can imagine it one tier above the Fire TV Stick HD and the Fire TV Stick Plus. It supports higher quality 4K Ultra HD streaming (rather than the 1080p Full HD), but lacks a few features that the Fire TV Stick Plus has, like Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Still, if you're just getting into 4K streaming, it's hard to beat for value at $25.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Select is Amazon's cheapest 4K streaming stick, and it's now at its lowest price since Black Friday. It's the company's way of offering more affordable 4K streaming without paying for premium features like Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. If you want those features, it isn't much to pay $20 more for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. However, if you're okay with the bare basics and don't foresee needing more, then $25 is the lowest price we'll probably see for a while.

Amazon has created some of the best streaming sticks on the market today. We haven't had the chance to review the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, but we've rated Amazon's other 4K TV Sticks in the past highly. For example, we gave both the Fire TV Stick 4K (now the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus) and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max a score of four and a half out of five in their respective reviews.

As mentioned earlier, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select lacks a few key features that the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus has. That doesn't change that it still offers affordable 4K streaming without many drawbacks.
