[Screen display example, comparison with the old model, etc. See all photos] Previously, at the timing when the 3rd generation "Alexa compatible voice recognition remote control" appeared, there was also a combined review of the old model "Fire TV Stick 4K". introduction. I myself am a "Fire TV Stick" user, but this time I will verify it by combining "Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max" with the recently introduced 27-inch 4K compatible PC monitor.

Fast feeling and Wi-Fi 6 compatibility

Comes with the long-awaited 4K voice recognition remote control. It also has a spec that is 40% more powerful than the old model "Fire TV Stick 4K"

First of all, the position of "Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max". I think there are many people who already know or are users of the "FireTV Stick". It is a stick-type device that can be connected to the HDMI terminal, and is a convenient device that allows you to make your TV compatible with Internet video. The lineup includes a low-priced 2K version and a high-end 4K version, and the 2K version was renewed in April with a voice recognition remote control, "Fire TV Stick - Alexa compatible voice recognition remote control (3rd generation) included". And the "Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max" reviewed this time comes with the long-awaited 4K version voice recognition remote control. It also has a spec that is 40% more powerful than the old model "Fire TV Stick 4K". This time, I connected "Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max" to LG's 4K monitor "27UN880-B" recently introduced as a PC monitor. Since the area around the HDMI terminal is busy, I used the included HDMI extension cable. The power supply is also from the USB port on the back. I get a power shortage message, but it worked fine. We will proceed with the setup. First, register an Amazon account. If you proceed without registering the volume control with the remote control (many PC monitors do not have a remote control receiver), the setup is complete. Let's take a look at the screen... Huh? This may be similar to the old model "Fire TV Stick 4K". In terms of specs, it went up from “Fire OS 6” to “Fire OS 7,” but when I compared them, they looked the same. Amazon Prime is recommended on the home screen, and video distribution systems such as Netflix, YouTube, DAZN, Hulu, Apple TV+, Disney Plus, and TVer can be introduced as apps, and the functionality is outstanding because it has been used for generations. By the way, all video distribution, including basic ones such as YouTube, are treated as apps, and will be introduced from the app store. However, popular apps such as YouTube appear on the home screen, so it's easy. The remote control has a light blue Alexa button in a conspicuous place, and YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix can also be called by voice operation. There are various opinions about voice control, such as "I don't use it even if it is available", but I am already using voice control for video searches on smartphones, not just TV, so this is the part that worries me. And the voice operation of this model has evolved dramatically compared to the old model.
