Streaming your favorite shows and movies just got a little easier, and a little more affordable. Hot on the heels of its newly-released 4K Fire TV Stick Select last year, Amazon has debuted its newest HD streaming peripheral: the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD. It's available to preorder today, and begins shipping at the end of this month for $34.99.
This new model is about 30% slimmer, according to Amazon, than its previous model. It comes with a USB-C cable and USB-A connector that you can use to connect to your TV in lieu of a wall adapter. That's its "Direct Power" consumption, according to Amazon, so you can fit it flush behind your TV without a bulky wall brick. If you don't have a dedicated USB port, you can always use a USB-C cable and adapter, however, so there's no issues there if you're working with a different setup.
In terms of performance, Amazon claims it's "more than 30% faster on average" in comparison to the older model, so it can spring open apps and bring you your favorite shows faster. It'll also feature Alexa+ supprt if you have a subscription or Prime membership.
Beyond that, you can look forward to a new Adaptive Display setting that will help make the onscreen menu and elements pop as well as improve accessibility for users, while scaling artwork and making text and menus larger.
If you're ready for a new Amazon Fire TV experience, this might be the next model you pick up. You can get your hands on a preorder slot right now and start watching by the beginning of May for all your summer indoor binge-watching.

Your TV no longer has to look like a void black rectangle when you turn it off. Instead, you can turn it into a framed piece of art with the Hisense CanvasTV. The brand just launched a new size that's perfect for a bedroom, kitchen, or studio apartment.

Joining its 55, 65, 75, and 85-inch comrades, the new 50-inch Hisense CanvasTV is the smallest option available. It's also the cheapest, coming with a price tag of $1,299.99. When you're not streaming your favorite shows, the TV transforms into a piece of framed artwork. The Hisense CanvasTV comes with a magnetic teak frame, but you're able to easily change the frame's vibe by getting the walnut or white finish option separately.
A 65-inch or larger TV might be awesome for living rooms or family rec rooms, but you might want something smaller in a bedroom, kitchen, or if you live in an apartment. That's where the new 50-inch TV could be the best option. Plus, it's the least expensive size.

Hisense designed the CanvasTV to sit flush with your wall, like a painting or other framed artwork would. You get access to over 1,000 works of art to display on your TV when it's not in use with no need to sign up for an additional subscription. Of course, you can also use your own photos or artwork with either the USB port or by uploading them the Hisense Art Gallery App.
If you're in the market for a TV that doesn't scream "blank TV" when it's not in use, the Hisense CanvasTV is a great option and now it comes in a great 50-inch size.
