[Scott Greczkowski]

Amazon picks up where Apple left off with a new Fire TV that fully supports 4K.

Amazon product ASIN B00U3FPN4U

They do have 4k content although I've not been able to find a list on their website. The Amazon app on my Samsung TV has a section for 4k. A few series including Bosch and Orphan Black plus a bunch of movies for sale at about $25 each.

true, but i was referring to prime, just the free ones

Got mine tonight... seems to have a couple of more 4K titles then I get on the Amazon app on my Samsung TV.

Took awhile to get setup, but once setup the speed was good.

Still playing with it and have to load Netflix on it to see if their Netflix app offers 4K.

Loaded Netflix, it does have 4K however is missing the 3D shelf. In addition trying to play any 3D does not play in 3D on my Samsung 4K set which supports 3D.

The 4K channel on PlutoTV actually plays in 4K.

Disappointing that Youtube can not play 4K video. It only plays the HD version.

Hopefully the Roku 4 will do this.

Yeah I am thinking of sending this FireTV back.
