this is the 2nd gen of the locked down one. DO NOT BUY it runs on the vega os so you cannot sideload or use google play store

Pre-4k and can be bought on Amazon for the same price. Reviews on Amazon are not great.

Sideload is what we used to call downloading a program directly from a site back in the pc days. They just changed the term on cells and other devices.You know when you actually owned what you bought and didn't need to get the ok from either Google or Apple.

Buy atleast the 4k plus. But its a good deal of you need a stick for travelling to watch shows/YouTube OR need to replace a remote that sells for more than 20.

Prices in BestBuy / Target / Home Depot:
4k Select (Vega OS, locked): $20
4k Plus (Android-based): $40
4k Max (Android-based): $50
Cube 4K (Most powerful of these): $110

If you don't care about sideloading apps, or haven't heard about it, or have been using some version of Roku and felt it sufficient, then the $20 4k Select is still a much better value, against all the hate towards it. Not everyone would need to sideload apps.

If you are a power user though, considering only $10 upcharge from 4K Plus to 4K Max, I'd recommend the latter, if not the Cube 4K (One of the most powerful Android TV hardware, more so than Shield TV or the Google Streamer).

Also, do check out your Amazon.com accounts for personalized / YMMV coupons.

Mine had
Fire TV 4K Select for $18
Fire TV 4K Plus for $25

My SO had
Fire TV 4K Plus for $15 (Great deal IMO)
