Smart TVs from Samsung

A 4K-capable TV is the next best thing to being able to watch sports in person. If you're looking for a new television, we recommend a Samsung Smart TV. Samsung is not only one of the best smart TVs for AT&T TV NOW, but it's also dependable and reasonably priced. The Samsung 55" NU6900 Series LED 4K UHD Smart TV is now on sale at Best Buy for $379.99. This is an excellent choice for any of your other 4K-capable apps, as it upscales live TV programs with HDR10+.

For Amazon Members

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Fire TV Cube

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Amazon Fire TV Cube are tied for top streaming devices for Amazon consumers. The Fire TV Cube provides a WiFi connection while the Fire TV Stick 4K plugs onto your TV's HDMI port. Both offer 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) streaming as well as high-dynamic-range (HDR) for exceptional image quality. This is especially useful with cable alternatives like AT&T TV NOW. Simply download the app, and it will display in a grid with your other apps on Amazon's home interface.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and the Fire TV Cube

Amazon Fire TV not only supports HDR10 and HDR10+, but it also supports Dolby Vision. Even if a game or match isn't broadcast in 4K (as is the case with AT&T TV NOW), you'll get a better picture than most. You can also use Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa to control everything with your voice, from the channels you're watching to dimming the lights. The main distinction between the two is that the Fire TV Cube has a faster processor and more storage.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K costs $49.99, while the Amazon Fire TV Cube costs $119.99. However, if you have Amazon Prime, you can save $10 to $15 and get free two-day shipping.

For streaming AT&T TV NOW on-the-go

Galaxy S20 Plus (Samsung)

To be clear, many phones and tablets offer excellent on-the-go functionality. However, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, Android's flagship phone, is our choice for the best mobile gadget. It has characteristics that are necessary for viewing TV when away from homes, such as long battery life, a large screen (6.7 inches), and expandable storage of 128GB to 512GB. Battery life and screen size are two of the most important considerations when viewing TV on the road (in that order.) So you can watch live TV on your AT&T TV NOW app without worrying about being tethered to a charger.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus costs $1,199, but a quick Amazon search will reveal that the same model is available for $710.

Our opinion

All major devices, including Amazon Fire TV, Android, iOS, and Roku media players, are compatible with AT&T TV NOW. If you plan to use a game console, though, you'll probably be better off with another cable solution. AT&T TV NOW, like fuboTV, does not carry 4K channels, although there is a workaround via the FOX Sports app. AT&T TV NOW, unlike AT&T TV, does not bind you to a contract. As a result, you can cancel your subscription at any moment. If you wish to try before you buy, the service's free trial period allows you to do so for seven days.
