Best Streaming Devices - Apple TV | Chromecast | Amazon Fire

Internet connected TV has become quite popular the past couple of years, with many devices to choose from, including Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast and more. Any TV with a HDMI port can become a Smart TV with one of these affordable mini computers.

Google Chromecast

My favorite streaming device. With Chromecast I can easily stream any YouTube, Netflix, or HBO video. It can be controlled with a smartphone, or computer - to stream  anything that's in a Chrome Browser tab on the computer - a wireless way to use the TV as a computer Monitor (almost).
There's a regular HD version for around $30, and a slightly more expensive 4K UHD version that competes with Apple TV

Amazon Fire TV

Comes with a remote which accepts voice commands. It has the usual apps like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Videos, etc.

Apple TV

Similar to the others but bigger in size (and prize) and streams up to 4k Ultra HD. Comes with a remote for Siri voice commands, and the usual apps including Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, and anything available from iTunes.
