Amazon's most capable streaming device is the only Fire TV with an HDMI input port, letting you route a cable box, Blu-ray player, or console through the Cube for unified Alexa voice control. The HDMI output runs at HDMI 2.1 with support for 4K@60Hz, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos, while the HDMI input is limited to 4K@60Hz passthrough (no 120Hz, no VRR). An IR extender port enables Alexa to control devices hidden inside a cabinet. Ethernet is only 10/100 Mbps — notably no Gigabit, so streaming relies more on Wi-Fi 6E for peak bandwidth.
Amazon’s premium streamer with HDMI 2.1 in+out, USB-A 2.0, 10/100 Ethernet, IR extender, and Wi-Fi 6E.
