The best streaming device to buy right now

With universal search that spans all of the big services, streaming players make it easy to find something to watch when you finally make it to the couch after a long day.If you’ve got a fairly new 4K TV at home, you might not see the need for a set-top box or streaming stick; it’s probably already got many of your essential apps preloaded and ready to go. (You can still watch HBO, thankfully.) Both Roku and Amazon have increasingly been getting into these spats with content owners.The Apple TV 4K checks off all of the key boxes — 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and Dolby Atmos audio — and doesn’t have any obvious holes in its selection of third-party apps. But the app selection is more or less at par with Roku and Apple — again, minus HBO Max at the moment — and the Fire TV 4K supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio for a relatively low price.Whether you want to stream the latest games through GeForce Now or load up a ton of emulators and ROMs, the Nvidia Shield TV has you covered.
