The more expensive Fire TV Stick 4K usually costs $49.99, while the Fire TV 4K Max costs up to $59.99.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheapest Fire TV models are both limited to 1080p video output. The Fire TV Stick Lite comes with a remote, but it doesn\u2019t have a power button or volume controls. The Fire TV Stick HD gives you the power and volume buttons, and it supports Dolby Atmos surround-sound audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"egg-container cegg-list-withlogos\">\n    \n    <div class=\"egg-listcontainer\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"cegg-list-logo-title cegg-mt5 cegg-mb15 visible-xs text-center\">\n    <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\n                                           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B091G4YP57?tag=hell02-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\">Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, free and live TV, Alexa Voice Remote Lite, smart home controls, HD...<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-products\">\n    <div class=\"col-md-2 col-sm-2 col-xs-12 cegg-image-cell\">\n                    <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B091G4YP57?tag=hell02-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31dIdIfy6GL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, free and live TV, Alexa Voice Remote Lite, smart home controls, HD streaming\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/>            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-md-5 col-sm-5 col-xs-12 cegg-desc-cell hidden-xs\">\n        <div class=\"cegg-no-top-margin cegg-list-logo-title\">\n            <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\n                                                   href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B091G4YP57?tag=hell02-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\">Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, free and live TV, Alexa Voice Remote Lite, smart home controls, HD...<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12 cegg-price-cell text-center\">\n        <div class=\"cegg-price-row\">\n\n                                                    <div title=\"Last updated on May 12, 2026 1:39 pm\"\n                     class=\"cegg-lineheight15 stock-status status-outofstock\">\n                         out of stock                <\/div>\n            \n            \n                                \n\n                                        <div class=\"cegg-font60 cegg-lineheight15\">\n                    as of May 12, 2026 1:39 pm                    <i class=\"egg-ico-info-circle cegg-disclaimer\" title=\"As an Amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
