Now’s your last chance to buy an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K on the cheap

By Josh Levenson Published July 16, 2019

The clock is ticking — you have less than 12 hours to snap up an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K, or Fire TV Recast on the cheap, as Prime Day draws to a close and takes the discounts on the cord-cutting devices with it when it goes.

To recap, Amazon has knocked

$25 off the standard Amazon Fire TV Stick,

dropping the price to just $15;

$25 off the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K,

sending the price tumbling to an all-too-tempting $25; and

$100 off the Fire TV Recast,

plunging the price to $180.

But what do each of them do? Let’s take a look.

The Fire TV Stick is the most basic bit of kit in Amazon’s cord-cutting arsenal, offer one-click access to a slew of leading streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video and Netflix — but it’s streaming itself is capped at a Full HD resolution.

Whereas, the Fire TV Stick 4K takes it a step further, delivering near enough the same functionality; though it can stream content in stunning 4K Ultra HD. Both the 4K model and the regular Fire TV Stick have Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant on board.

Designed to be used alongside a Fire TV Stick 4K and an HD antenna, the Fire TV Recast is a top-rated DVR, bundling support for over-the-air streaming, which lets you access your recorded content from anywhere on Earth using a smartphone or tablet.

Pair the Fire TV Recast with a Fire TV Stick 4K as part of the Prime Day sale, and you’ll be saving a cool $125. That’s almost on par with how much a year’s worth of Netflix will run you, so you’re essentially getting it thrown in for free (in terms of raw savings).

When it comes to budget-friendly TVs, one of the calling card brands we all know and love is Hisense. For years, the Big H has been producing excellent QLED TVs and traditional LED LCDs that bring bright and colorful picture quality to the table, but at prices most folks can afford. Fortunately, we also come across a lot of great TV deals, and a lot of these discounts are on Hisense sets.

An LG G5 OLED TV hanging on a wall in a bright living room.

It’s never too early to preorder a brand-new TV… unless, of course, you literally can’t preorder it. But that’s not the case with LG’s latest ace in the hole, the incredible-looking G5 Series 4K OLED. 2025 is going to be a massive year for OLED TVs and we’re willing to bet LG’s new G5 flagship is going to be a top contender for year-end awards! And right now, there are a few great promos you can take advantage of when you pre-order the 83-inch size of LG’s latest and greatest, which will retail for $6,500.

The first promo option is to get back 5% in MyLG Rewards Points (valid March 10 through March 30). The second offer is for either a free TV stand with assembly (March 10 through March 30) or a free wall-mounting service via Handy (any time before January 4, 2026). The final option is to save up to $200 on certain LG soundbars when bundled with a TV purchase (valid through April 6).

This LG 65-inch 4K TV is on sale — from $600 down to $350

LG 65-inch UT70 Series 4K TV

It’s not every day that any 65-inch TV costs less than $400, so you can imagine our surprise when we learned that the LG 65-inch UT70 Series 4K LED is marked down to $350 today at Best Buy! This TV is normally $600, so that's a pretty sweet $250 discount. LG is one of the best TV brands in town, and while they may best be known for premium OLED TVs, LG’s LED models are fantastic, too.

Why you should buy the LG 65-inch UT70 Series
The LG UT70 Series is the type of budget-friendly TV that may not get as bright or colorful as more advanced models but can certainly still hold its own. Whether you plan on using this as a second screen or your main TV, the UT70 leans on LG’s a5 AI Processor Gen 7 for picture processing, 4K upscaling, and low-res content smoothing. So, even if you’re watching non-HD movies and shows, this LG TV will still optimize every frame to ensure you’re getting the best picture possible at all times.
