That seems like a really good deal. I have been looking for something like this for my bedroom. I have an older Sony bravia 43 inch that's not even a smart tv. Think I'm gonna get it

Did the 4k stick, but from what I can see it does not include the Sling credit - only the basic one does.

Ok, this is just weird. Literally one minutes after sending the above, I get an e-mail from Amazon with the code for my $45 sling credit.
Maybe I should ***** about the more often?

Does the Apple Watch series 3 need a separate account, or can you get by just having your phone in the vicinity most of the time? This would be for a 14 year old.

Do not need a separate account. My son has this. Have phone with you or can connect via wifi
matttyl

It only needs a separate account if you want to use it without the phone around. I think with WiFi you don’t actually need the phone either, but the non-4G/LTE one can’t connect without the phone outside of WiFi. You can use the watch functionality and you don’t have to pay monthly to daybreak AT&T. My son’s is like that and my wife’s and mine are the 4G/LTE so we pay I think $10 per month. Same price as the iPads that were cellular as well.

Ugly Stick for under 30 bucks. Not an amazing deal, however it is a good deal on a solid product.

IMO unless you are watching from 2 feet away there is little need for 4K on a 43” TV.

I also ended up getting a Shimano Sellus for 23 dollars, it is a better deal theoretically. However, I have 8 ugly sticks and I know what I am getting with them. I only have a single Shimano rod and it is a high end 200+ dollar rod. I do not know how their cheap rods will hold up.
I still need 1-2 more inshore rods and also a reel in the 4000-6000 class. I have been holding off on buying a reel this year because i managed to get a Penn Spinnfisher for 50 dollars last prime day. Finding them for under 180 dollars is a good deal.

While likely true from a resolution point of view, the HDR capability (if your source has it) is the bigger upgrade.
apalmer

As far as resolution. However, user reviews seem to indicate that the 4k Firestick has a faster processor and more memory than the HD Firestick, so there's less buffering and a better HD picture for non-4k content. I'm assuming the same thing applies to the 4k v. HD Fire TVs.

I bought an echo dot
we already have 2 echos (kitchen and basement) so for $20 I’ll just use it to move around to other areas where I might want a speaker (deck, patio, etc) from time to time

Fire TV Cube for $69. That's a no brainer for anyone still using a stick.
A couple questions if anyone can help:
1- All the Samsung Tab tablets are on sale. I'm ditching the suck Fire tablet I have. Which are best in the 10.1 screen size? S3 is old version right, much difference between S4 and S5? I know nothing about these.\
ETA: I guess this is the one on sale. Good deal? Difference between Tab A and S?
2- I'm assuming the Fire Recast has a TV Guide like interface, yet for $179 sale price you still need a Fire TV to use it? Is there an app or anything on the Fire TVs that give you a TV Guide interface for OTA channels? I really don't care about recording.

Don't do the 3... either buy the 4 or wait for the 5. I know the price is good but don't.

Any smaller tv's (less than 32") that have USB support for movies on Amazon today... looking to mount one to a wall in my basement.

I would NEVER suggest buying a TV for the hard wired “smart” features. The market moves way way too fast, and the “dongles” Are way too cheap.
I was merely pointing out the distances required to benefit from the step up to 4K on a small 43” TV are ridiculous. Unless you’re using it as a desktop monitor you’re wasting your money.

Thanks. That’s awesome. I have some smart plugs I used for Christmas but they were a pain to setup through an intermediary site and they didn’t work with the Echo Show (wife won a work contest, so that’s in Kitchen now).
$5 per plug is crazy cheap, so anything that will be easier to setup and use is great.

What does the cube add? Is it mostly voice-control stuff? Is it a better or different interface?
I think that's pretty much Amazon's motto.I went with smart bulbs (phillips hue) a long time ago. Other than lights what are people turning on and off with these?

Thanks, I saw that. The Penn Battle 2 5000 is 50% off retail, which is great deal. If it is available at the end of the sale I will consider it, however I am holding out for something a little nicer right now.

I believe it allows 4k and you can hardwire it vs wifi only (stick)
+ processor speed which youll notice when switching apps and load speeds

For me I would like a few outdoor rated WiFi plugs. Here are a few things I use plugs for.
- I have a few fans that I would like to kick on in the garage before I go in there.
- I have a few for indoor Christmas lights (different brand)
- I have one outdoor rated WiFi plug for outdoor Xmas lights. Currently using it for the pump on my little intex pool.

Well it used to be that the Fire TV was a lot faster than the stick, so much so that after trying the Fire TV I dreaded using the stick. (note: there isn't a Fire TV choice anymore it's either Cube or Stick) BUT, maybe that's changed and the sticks are a lot better now, I don't know.
The Cube has an Ethernet port so you don't have to rely on WiFi if that fits your situation. It is also a full fledged Alexa speaker, you don't have to press a button and talk into the remote, and to integrate with other devices (smart lights etc.) the stick will need to be paired up with an Echo. My understanding is the Cube will do it by itself.

I use mine in similar way - like a user friendly timer. Christmas lights, vacation lighting. This past winter I used one for a space heater in my daughter's room in the morning.
