Best 4K streaming devices

If you have a 4K TV, these devices get the most from it, with Dolby Vision and, on the boxes, wired Ethernet for buffer-free streaming. Compare them below, or see how to choose a streaming device.

How we picked

We compare each option on the things that actually affect your experience — price, the channels or apps you get, ease of setup, and everyday reliability — and we re-check the details on a regular schedule. We only feature licensed services and mainstream hardware. Read our full testing methodology, see every option in the best live TV service guide, or match your channels with the channel finder.

Double-check before buying

  • Confirm the channels you care about are in the plan for your ZIP code — local and regional lineups vary.
  • Prices and free-trial lengths change often. Verify the current offer on the provider’s site before paying.
  • Check the number of simultaneous streams if more than one person will watch at once.
