play00:12

break down the differences between the

brands to help you choose the best one

for you the best streaming devices tend

play00:17

to be Speedy have lots of apps to choose

play00:20

from and a simple interface with killer

play00:23

search functions I'm adding links in the

skip around here we go

play00:32

foreign

play00:34

[Music]

play00:38

4K plus is our pick as our best overall

play00:42

streaming device Roku is our favorite

play00:44

streaming system because it has

play00:45

everything you'd want in a streaming

play00:47

platform it's got the widest selection

play00:49

of streaming apps including the free to

play00:51

watch Roku Channel as well as an

play00:54

uncluttered interface and the best

play00:56

search it's also a Content agnostic

play00:58

platform that doesn't push any one media

play01:01

streaming service provider over another

play01:03

the express 4K plus is one of the

play01:06

cheapest streaming devices with 4K HDR

play01:08

and it also supports AirPlay making it

play01:11

easy to connect your Apple device to

play01:13

your TV at forty dollars it's ten

play01:16

dollars cheaper than the company's

play01:17

Streaming Stick 4K which puts it over

play01:20

the top but our runner-up is a very

play01:23

close second the 50 Roku Streaming Stick

play01:26

4K offers the same functions found on

play01:29

all Roku devices but additionally comes

play01:31

with Dolby Vision support in fact Dolby

play01:34

Vision along with a stick-like design is

play01:37

the the main difference between it and

play01:39

the express 4K plus it's also why the

play01:41

Streaming Stick 4K is more expensive

play01:43

than its sibling we think the Streaming

play01:46

Stick 4K is a great device but we're

play01:48

just not sold on the Dolby Vision

play01:50

upgrade mostly because we generally

play01:52

don't think it provides a major image

play01:54

quality upgrade over standard HDR if you

play01:56

can get it on sale the Streaming Stick

play01:59

4K is a great buy the third best on our

play02:02

list is the 40 Chromecast with Google TV

play02:06

4K we don't think it's quite as good as

play02:09

the Roku Express 4K plus but it comes

play02:11

closer than any other device on the

play02:13

market the Chromecast does have Dolby

play02:16

Vision compatibility but its greatest

play02:18

asset is Google assistant voice search

play02:21

and integration with other Google

play02:22

services like Google photos and YouTube

play02:25

TV the interface is more evolved looking

play02:29

than Roku But ultimately we prefer

play02:31

roku's simpler approach no-nonsense

play02:34

search results and lower price that said

play02:37

the new Chromecast is the best choice

play02:39

for those already living in Google's

play02:41

world Google also makes a cheaper HD

play02:44

only version of the Chromecast called

play02:47

the Chromecast with Google TV HD it's

play02:51

thirty dollars and is Far and Away the

play02:54

best entry-level streamer you can find

play02:55

making it our pick as the best HD

play02:58

streaming device if you're looking for a

play03:00

cheap streamer for your 1080p TV this is

play03:04

the one to get it's speedy and offers

play03:06

the same form factor and remote as the

play03:09

4K Chromecast model which means that it

play03:12

can seamlessly control your TV's power

play03:14

volume and inputs you won't get that

play03:17

from the remote on the similarly priced

play03:19

Roku Express or Amazon Fire TV light it

play03:22

also comes with a built-in button to

play03:24

access the Google Assistant other

play03:26

entry-level HD streaming devices skimp

play03:29

on Hardware features in order to sell

play03:30

their players at a lower price and you

play03:33

won't get anywhere near that level of

play03:34

functionality on the remotes from this

play03:36

XP press or Fire TV light sure it might

play03:40

ultimately make more sense to just get a

play03:42

4K streamer especially if you have a 4K

play03:44

TV but this is an excellent HD option

play03:47

for those who want something cheap the

play03:49

Fire TV 4K Max is our pick as the

play03:51

fastest streaming device it costs 55

play03:54

dollars and loads apps almost

play03:56

immediately while navigating around the

play03:58

system is Swift and smooth even better

play04:01

the Mac supports Wi-Fi 6 and nearly all

play04:04

the latest playback standards including

play04:06

Dolby Vision the downside to the max is

play04:09

the Fire TV platform which features ads

play04:12

prominently throughout they make

play04:14

Amazon's devices generally hard to

play04:16

recommend but this is the best fire

play04:19

stick on the market today and is a good

play04:21

choice for those looking for a fast

play04:22

streaming device the 2022 Apple TV 4K is

play04:27

our best pick for Apple Fans and it's

play04:29

finally gotten a little cheaper it now

play04:32

starts at 129. 50 less than the previous

play04:35

version this year's mod also has a

play04:38

faster a15 bionic processor and an

play04:41

updated series remote with a USBC

play04:43

connector instead of a lightning one

play04:45

other than that the changes from last

play04:47

year's version are so minor that it's

play04:49

hard to see any real difference at all

play04:51

it continues to be a good choice for

play04:53

those who want an Apple device for Apple

play04:56

arcade gaming or to take full advantage

play04:58

of their apple one subscription video

play05:00

purists will appreciate its flexible HDR

play05:03

and TV calibration feature but for most

play05:06

people it just isn't worth the money

play05:07

especially when Roku has nearly all the

play05:10

major apps and AirPlay support plus if

play05:13

you really want Dolby Vision you can get

play05:15

a Roku Streaming Stick 4K at a fraction

play05:17

of the price

play05:18

which streaming device are you thinking

play05:20

of getting which one is your favorite
