Best 4K Streaming Media Devices of 2023

If you’ve bought a TV lately, there’s a good chance that it’s a smart TV with the ability to stream TV shows and movies, no extra devices needed. These days, 63 percent of all U.S. homes with internet access now own a smart TV, according to research firm Parks Associates.

However, that still leaves a lot of people who need a streaming device to access online streaming services, from Amazon Prime to YouTube TV. In addition, plenty of us who have smart TVs decide to add a streaming device. In my own home, four of our five smart TVs are connected to either an Amazon Fire TV, an Apple TV, or a Roku streaming player.
