The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['This is a renewed Apple TV 4K unit carrying model number MQD22LL/A. It outputs 4K UHD and connects wirelessly, bringing the full tvOS interface along with iTunes integration for purchased Apple content and the Apple TV+ service.', 'Buying renewed means the hardware has been refurbished and certified before resale. At $128, the savings versus a new unit are real, and 673 reviewers have weighed in with a 4.2-star average. That score is honest for renewed inventory, indicating most buyers get a fully functional unit with occasional variability.', "The Apple TV 4K runs a walled-garden ecosystem that rewards users already in Apple's world. For those outside it, the premium over comparable Roku or Google TV sticks is harder to justify."]

Frequently asked questions
Is a renewed Apple TV 4K as good as a new one?
Certified renewed units are inspected and restored to working condition before resale, but they can show minor cosmetic wear and may not include all original accessories. Most buyers in the 673-review pool report functional devices, though the 4.2-star average does reflect some added variability compared to new units.
Do I need an Apple ID to use this device?
Yes. The Apple TV 4K runs tvOS, which requires an Apple ID for initial setup and to access the App Store, Apple TV+, and iTunes purchases. Users without an Apple account will need to create one during setup.
Does this model support a wired Ethernet connection?
The listed connectivity for this unit is wireless only. Some Apple TV 4K models do support Ethernet via a separate adapter, but that is not confirmed for this specific listing. A strong Wi-Fi signal near the TV is recommended for consistent 4K streaming.
