\n\tThe new and improved Amazon Fire TV Stick HD<\/a> was made available Wednesday, April 29, on Amazon.com<\/a>. The streaming device<\/a> retails for $34.99<\/a> and features changes made to the functionality and size. According to Amazon, the gadget is 30% slimmer, making it more portable than ever, and can be powered through a TV\u2019s USB port, foregoing the use of a wall adapter utilized in older models.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tAmazon Fire TV Stick HD New Model\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tThis is the latest model of Amazon\u2019s Fire TV Stick HD. According to Amazon, the new controller is 30% slimmer and can be powered through a TV\u2019s USB port, so no need for a wall adapter.\t<\/p>\n \n\tThat portability is an extremely attractive feature, especially for folks always on the go. The new model was created to fit easily into a carry-on bag or pocket. The Fire TV Stick HD\u2019s new Direct Power feature allows users to power their device using a TV\u2019s USB port with the included cable, working with your existing setup for less clutter and ease of use, something that was lacking in Amazon\u2019s last models.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n \n\tOne of our favorite additions, which will surely take the guesswork out of streaming, is the built-in Alexa+. The pseudo companion is a generative AI-powered voice assistant that offers Fire TV Stick<\/a> users a more personalized experience when it comes to watching movies or TV shows. You can ask your Alexa+ for recommendations based on your specific tastes. Like action movies? Maybe you\u2019re into thrillers over music documentaries<\/a>. Amazon claims that Alexa+ will consider your preferences, offering you suggestions for a new show to obsess over or an indie film you\u2019ve never heard of.<\/p>\n \n\tAlexa+ can also be utilized to control your connected smart home devices, whether you\u2019re dimming the lights in your living room for movie night or turning up the volume on your speakers to jam out. Don\u2019t remember the name of that handsome actor in your favorite biopic<\/a>? He\u2019s on the tip of your tongue for sure. You can call on Alexa+ for help with that, too. In short, this is a smarter way to incorporate AI that works with you, not against you, for entertainment purposes. <\/p>\n \n\tAlong with the built-in AI and size change, the new Fire TV Stick HD also includes advanced adaptive display settings, which are basically just accessibility features that make things such as text, menus and content easier to navigate and see on your screen.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tAmazon Ember Artline 55\u2033 with Fire TV Latest Model\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tThis is the new model of Amazon\u2019s Ember Artline TV with a matte finish to make your art screensaver more realistic. The new model also includes Alexa+, an AI helper. \t<\/p>\n \n\tThe Fire TV Stick HD was also launched alongside a new Amazon Ember Artline TV for $899.99<\/a>. The 55-inch TV will begin to ship on April 22 in the U.S. and Canada<\/a>, and on May 7 in the U.K. and Germany. The screen is now matteified to make your artwork look like, well, artwork rather than a shiny TV screen. The TV also includes Alexa+ for hands-free control when you want to browse photos or find something to stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors.
