You can now select from 3 video quality settings on the Amazon Fire Idiot box and Burn Telly Stick
The Amazon Burn TV and Fire TV Stick five.2.4.1 software update adds a set of new data monitoring options that let you go along rail of how much data your device is using. In addition to data monitoring, the new feature adds the pick to select from 3 video quality settings, in guild to reduce data usage while watching Amazon Video.
The 3 video quality options to choose from are Expert, Better, and Best. The Best option is selected by default, just y'all can choose to select one of the two other video quality options if you desire to reduce the amount of data consumed while watching Amazon Video.
To try to determine how much data is consumed by each video quality setting, I played a 1 infinitesimal 36 second trailer of The Grand Tour from Amazon Video using each quality setting and monitored how much information was consumed. Video was played on a 1080p tv and I used the values reported by the Amazon Video app in the new data monitoring feature.
At the "All-time" quality, the 1:36 video used 84.91 MB of data. At the "Better" quality option, 47.95 MB of data was consumed. At the lowest "Good" setting, merely 7.32 MB of data was used. These values shouldn't be used to approximate how much data a particular video will consume because that will vary greatly depending on what action and scenes are in the video. These values are best to be used as a rough comparing of each video quality compared to the other. In my examination, dropping down from "Best" to "Amend" resulted in a 43% reduction in information consumption. Dropping down to "Proficient" resulted in a 91% reduction in data compared to the "All-time" selection, and an 85% reduction in data compared to the "Better" selection.
Update
I originally used the kickoff 5 minutes of a TV prove episode for my measurements, but a commenter below suggested I instead use a total brusque video to avoid pre-buried information of the residue of the episode affecting the information values. I have redone my measurements with that suggestion and have updated the article.
Every bit for the actual picture quality, I could not see a noticeable difference between the "Best" and "Amend" options. If you're concerned about information consumption, but don't desire a poor viewing feel, dropping down the video quality setting one notch is a great option. The lowest "Good" quality option resulted in a noticeably worse viewing experience.
The Amazon Fire Television set and Fire Television receiver Stick will automatically arrange the video quality based on your network speed. As long as you have the bandwidth, the device will stream the best quality video it can. This new video quality setting essentially allows you to set a maximum quality cap for videos streamed by Amazon. This is a corking new feature for those with information caps who want better control over how much data their Fire TV consumes.
