TVs have become an important part of our day-to-day life. From watching movies to using them as an external display we’ve used it all. In the early days of the flat-screen TVs, there was nothing smart about them. They didn’t have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or even the ability to install and stream the apps that you wanted to. But, just because it is a regular flat-screen TV, it doesn’t mean that it cannot be a smart TV. With the help of streaming sticks such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick, you can turn any old flat screen TV into a Smart TV right away! Read on to know how to connect Fire TV Stick to Normal TV.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick is a great device that can be plugged into any TV and stream content right away. You can connect to the internet, stream from various OTT services, and even make use of the voice assistant Alexa. It isn’t always necessary that you need to have a smart TV to make use of such services. So, if you have a normal flat-screen TV and want to make use of such services, this guide is for you.
Pre-requisites
- Any TV with HDMI input port
- Wi-Fi Network

How to Connect Amazon Fire TV Stick to Normal TV

Now, you need to get yourself an Amazon Fire TV Stick device. These are little devices that can be plugged into your TV and run on Amazon’s Fire OS.
You can get a Fire TV Stick from Amazon itself for as low as $29.99 and can go all the way up to $79.99. These device prices can vary depending on features such as having Wi-Fi 6, the ability to display in 4K, etc.
- Once you’ve got your Amazon Fire TV Stick, all you need to do is to plug it into the HDMI port of your TV.
- Make sure to connect the power cable to the Fire TV Stick and also connect it to the power outlet.
- With the device powered up and connected, switch on your TV and select the correct input source for your TV.
