Bought this tv from amazon and LOVE it but am very disappointed that is does not allow amazon instant video. Why?

Because only those models have this optionshttp://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/discoverlgtvs/smarttv_partnergrid/popup/amazon.html

Amazon and LG couldn't come to an agreement to add the feature in 2012. Maybe they will both grow up and serve their customers in 2013. When it happens its just going to be an update.

Eh, your cable provider offers it. I do have prime and I rent movies thru Verzion.

I was surprised and dismayed that this fact wasn't highlighted in the product description. There is a workaround. If you have an XBox 360 AND you subscribe to XBox Live Gold, you can add Amazon Instant videos to your apps. Pricey, but it works great!

I called their customer service on 12/22/12 and was told that LG is working on the App software for amazon instant video for my 47lm7600 model. The impression I got from the conversation was that most if not all of the smart tv's will have this updated in the future. He couldn't tell me exactly when. Right now this feature isn't available on any LG tv if I understood him correctly.

I cannot stand how Amazon and LG do not play nice together --- I actually returned a Sharp TV after I found (after the fact) that it would not stream Amazon Prime.........I then went and bought an LG after a sales person guaranteed that LG and Amazon were compatible (and many devices were in 2012) -- but, lo and behold -- I get my LG TV home -- and, it also is NOT compatible........unreal!!!!! I have to keep returning TVs......this really sucks........why cannot they not simply all play nice together.............I am going to get rid of Amazon Prime now, as this is a total joke....and, screw LG too........technology sucks!

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.

Hello Kathryn. I have never had any difficulty using Amazon Prime with this television? I use it frequently in fact. What issues arise for you?

Please make sure you have updated firmware in your samsung TV. Also update smart hub applications using the tools button on the remote.Once you have done the above steps download the Amazon App to your TV. for me Amazon app appeared after i upgraded the firmware and smarthumpair your tv with your Amazon Account. You need to have amazon prime membership to watch the amazon instant videos for free

Great TV but it is not a Smart TV...you could maybe stream to the tv from another source such as a Blue Ray that can stream Netflix but not sure about Amazon. In my case my main TV is a smart tv so I am not concerned about the small tv not being able to do that....hope this helps

It does support Amazon Instant Video. BUT, the smart application for this TV is outdated, does not contain Wishlist access, or the better/ newer user interface that other TVs do (like Samsung) .

Confirmed. i have no idea *why* - if I access the Amazon Instant Video app on my PS3, it has the watch list. The Panasonic native Netflix app has their watch list. It's only the Panasonic native Amazon app that's broken.

I am also having this issue. Contacted amazon instant video customer service. They said they have been having this issue with panasonic blu ray's but I still don't have an answer on the fix. Now my blu ray won't connect to the internet at all.

I'm pretty sure it's related to something Amazon did. I've tried watching Amazon Instant Video on a couple computers in the past week and when I went to play the video, they both said, "Updating player..." I hope it isn't broken for good; I use Amazon Video more on my TouchPad than on any other device.

two of my sisters have that TV and yes Amazon Prime Instant Video will stream through it but there is no application inside the TV. you have to use a blu ray dvb, Apple streamer or Ruko but it will look beautiful

It's functioning on my set. EDIT: APPARENTLY there are a few different firmware versions on these sets...mine is E550i-b2 V 1.16.47.0758. Some sets have E550i-b2 V 1.25.24.0234. My opinion is that this is causing a lot of problems in the tv enthusiast community. It's possible that Amazon Instant Video is NOT working on both firmware versions, as some are still reporting it isn't functioning. Vizio is NOT offering a firmware update at this time, so as far as I know, you are stuck with what firmware version you get....for the time being.

Wade C.,No, it is not compatible with the Amazon Instant Video App. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

Sunora W.,This model does not have the Amazon Instant Video App available. However, many Samsung Blu-Ray players have apps, including the Amazon Instant Video option. If you're in the market for a new player, consider one that has Amazon included. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

from what I can tell, it doesn't - it's not on the list for Amazon Instant Video. You'll need to get a different BlueRay player. Note - I have the same problem. I thought it would work - it should since it's wireless, but players have to have some sort of protocol to protect movies from being copies as they're streamed. Those are the only devices allowed for AIV. Sucks, doesn't it?

I have this TV and do watch Amazon Instant on it since I have 'Prime'. I have never been impressed with Amazon's interface (not Vizio's fault), but it does work, and there is a button on the remote control for it.
