these are the top five 4k media streamers got a 4k TV but you're wondering what 4k box will be the best don't worry I asked scene that's a TV Authority David Katz Meyer for his opinion so let's get to it at number five the chromecast ultra the chromecast Ultra is a quick and dirty solution for 4k and high dynamic range video streaming on your TV however the chromecast suffers the same drawbacks as any other protests it's virtually useless without a smartphone also there's no remote control or built-in apps in a chromecast ultra for video streaming and number four the Xiaomi me box for around the same price as the chromecast ultra you can get this box it supports HDR and 4k as well plus you get a box that's powered by Android TV that means apps on the box then there's a remote that lets you do voice searches does that mean this box is amazing no but it's better than that number five guy and number three the Amazon fire TV box the current generation Amazon fire TV box does support 4k however there is no support for HDR so you might want to wait for the next version of it that being said the fire TV box is speedy and has Alexa for searching and general information if you live in Amazon's universe it's a safe bet to get a fire TV box eventually at number two is the Nvidia shield the latest Nvidia shield is really snappy and it supports both 4k and HDR the shield also has official access to Amazon video unlike the chromecast ultra and the me box although I've read you could siloed Amazon onto the me box anyway the shield will also gain Google assistant capabilities in the near future the biggest downside of the shield its large $200 price tag before we get to number one here's an aside if you've got a 4k TV you might not even need a streaming box at all check your TV to see if it has its own apps additionally if you've got a game console like the ps4 pro that can act as your 4k streamer and the number one 4k media streamer is the Roku premiere plus this list could have included multiple Roku devices but this world is the one we want to spotlight it costs about $100 with support for 4k and HDR since the Roku it has access to tons of apps one of the few downsides is the premiere plus does not have the ability to handle a voice search that feature is on Roku's top-of-the-line model the ultra big things to the big cats for his help also congrats the big cats on his new nickname because I've never called him that before I'm I as actor I'll see you online
