The Amazon Fire Stick does not take voice command. The deluxe version, Fire TV, does. The Fire Stick can be loaded up with third party apps so that's a security concern. My son just got a 55" TV. It's a 4K smart TV that includes Roku streaming capability. It was $360. Amazing! |

Good point on the apps, since it's android based the security level isn't as robust as Apple's store. > My son just got a 55" TV. It's a 4K smart TV that includes Roku streaming capability. It was $360. Amazing! That's a crazy low price for that size! Please what brand and where did he score it? |

He has been so vile he has earned a permanent place in the Bozo bin. I have posted in the past about people who constantly nymshift because they know they are complete losers who have been filtered out by just about everyone, I give him credit for shifting his user name enough to slip through and let us know that he knows he is one of them. |

I'm not familiar with that brand, but the price is right. One drawback - only 3 HDMI ports. Then again Roku is built in, so... The refresh of 120 is workable, 240 would be better though. So have you seen it in action yet? |
