It does support Amazon Prime videos. I've logged into my Amazon account and watched a movie as I would on any other computer with a browser.

The app does not work. Instead you watch Amazon Instant Videos in the Web Browser. That works fine. At least for me.

netflix specifically, I don't know. I dropped netflix I want to say over 2 years ago. I can watch youtube videos with the browser that is called "browser." I usually watch youtube videos with it. Sometimes I may have to set the browser setting of "ask for desktop site," and other times no. Chrome, also installed on my unit, usually gives a static screen or black screen that says "adobe must be installed," but of course adobe flash never really gets supported by the browser, even if you go out of your way to install adobe flash. I'll try to watch a high def movie or show on youtube, and see if that works and answer back. I'm tenative as to whether or not I get full 1080p (or i) when I watch a high def youtube video. netflix specifically, I don't know. I dropped netflix I want to say over 2 years ago.

I have not tried this specifically from Amazon Prime, but I do have the TV connected to my home wireless and I have streamed video on the TV from other sources, such as youtube, on the TV's browser. So I would suspect Amazon Prime video would work just the same as other sources.

VERY DISAPPOINTED to find out my Samsung C6500 Blue Ray player doesn't have the yahoo widget/amazon streaming capabilities!!! Netflix works fine for me, but their "watch now" selection is nowhere near as good as their disc mailing selection, and so I had hoped the Amazon streaming library would have more extensive. Free trial is USELESS!!!

Yes. I have used Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE. I like VLC best if no need to pan.

Not sure. Didn't have Prime until after the thing completely stopped supporting internet applications.

Yes, sort of. The work around is installing the "Dolphin" Browser. Then in the settings, you select the "type" as desktop. Amazon Video will then recognize it. I put my default home page to the Amazon Prime video webpage. Works great. I do this for all of my Android devices.

The Google Chome Browser comes packaged as an app on this device. . . so I'm not sure what you are asking.In the app list there is an app for the DVD player so you can "jump" from Chrome to the player. You can even pin it to the task bar so it is readily accessible.The one thing that doesn't work with Google Chrome is hulu plus. They've never developed the app to work on Google Chrome. Even though there is an icon for it in the app list it won't work. Also the device allows you to browse the internet, but if you expect to go to ABC or NBC and play recent episodes - you're out of luck. They don't work on Google Chrome either.

Using this as a web browser is painfully inadequate. I suggest buying Chromecast instead. It'a a dongle that lets you broadcast any webpage that you're viewing on Google Chrome onto your HDTV. Price is only $29.99 right now on Amazon. Works amazingly well!

Yes you can play the prime videos. However, the kindle has a totally different operating system. The surface operates on microsoft's store. Kindle operates on android.

netflix has its own app and works great on the tablet. amazon prime however does not have its own app and will need to be viewed on a browser. you'll need Dolphin Browser and Adobe Flash installed and correctly configured. works fine on my tablet. here is a link on how to get it all set up: the-digital-reader.com/nates-reviews/stream-amazon-instant-videos-android-tablet/if the adobe flash player link in that article doesn't work for whatever reason, you can download it here as well: downloadandroidfiles.org/Files/Apps%20%28APK%29/KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk

Amazon Prime works as an app on this TV for me. I had to perform a software update when I first received it in order to make it work, but it did eventually let me enter my credentials and watch Amazon Prime video.

I am an Amazon Prime member and would like to use it on the Galaxy Note too. I tried downloading Firefox and Adobe Flash but it said I needed a plugin (so that didn't work). Then, I downloaded Dolphin. I can pull up everything and I can watch movies on Amazon if I BUY them but Amazon won't allow me to use my Prime with the Galaxy Note (not even when I am signed in and it shows that I am a prime member). Frustrating! Under "Amazon Instant Video Compatible Devices", the only tablet listed that isn't a Kindle is Ipad. So you can access Amazon Prime on the Ipad.

Yes it supports flash but if you are using Chrome everything is moving to HTLM5 as Flash is being phased out. However you tube .com in desktop mode using Chrome (pre installed ) worked very well and had very little load time for the device.

I have had this device for over a year now. Pretty much any website will load on the built in chrome web browser. Certain websites like ABC and Hulu block video streaming to this device due to some sort of licensing conflict. The web browsing tends to be a little bit slower and clunky compared to a laptop or desktop computer, but the device is very convenient. As long as you have a fast internet connection (anything better than DSL) streaming video will work great. If the device ever freezes or crashes you can press "control" + "alt" + "delete" to restart it.
