We review 4K streaming devices from Google, Apple, Amazon, Hubbl and more that plug into your TV so you can access your favourite movies, TV shows, documentaries and more. We look at support for streaming, catch-up and buy/rent services including Netflix, Binge, Disney+, Kayo and ABC iView.

Our test reveals which devices:

  • are the easiest to use
  • have the best remote control (if included)
  • are the most energy-efficient
  • support the most streaming and rent/buy services
  • support the most catch-up services
  • support 4K UHD and high-dynamic range (HDR).

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
