That's a trick question, yes it will play amazon instant video from a device that has the amazon instant video service, but this TV - by itself, does not have Amazon instant video. It is not a "Smart" TV. No apps whatsoever.

You can't get amazon directly through the tv. We purchased roku in order to use our amazon prime on the tv.

Same problem here. I have been looking into flashing the firmware on my LG BD-590 blu-ray player with the app for Amazon instant video to Netcast. Have not found anything yet. I think when a manufacturer flashes the software to the firmware chip then that is the end of it. LG just recently added Amazon to Netcast on the new models. So we may have to purchase another devise to get the Amazon Netcast app. What I have been doing to watch Amazon VOD is to use my laptop HDMI out to my HD TV. Just logon to your Amazon Prime account and watch on PC or video out to TV via HDMI if you have that capability.

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.

Mine is up to date, but I see no app for Amazon. I don't need it because my Vizio TV does access Amazon.

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.

I have found the same problem, after 8 hours of samsung UN46D7000 tv vs amazon instant video! At least I can stop pulling out my hair trying to make it work. Ya think they could just send the frickn' app the tv with all the other crap on there we will never use.

My tv looks great, Please try to play something from amazon instant video or netflix, sometime cable signal is not as good as it should and image quality became bad. Believe me this is one of the best inversion I ever did, this tv looks so goodThat a lot of friend ask me where did I buy this tv because it looks so amazing. I have a 47" LG and you can note the quality difference. I think if you can see the pixel problem with netflix or amazon instant video then the tv it is not working properly

Set-up: the Amazon instructions say, navigate to "Your Video Library", then "Link to Amazon", but my TV menu just says "Your video library is empty" and does not have a link to Amazon. What can I do to resolve?

You cannot. No app has been written to support Amazon instant video. This model is at least 5 years old.

not sure which list you are viewing. The software update in September included Amazon prime video. That was maybe two updates ago, so it should be there. You can go to settings, and update the software, and it should show up. You may have to re-boot the TV however. (turn it off and on again)

Hi Bob, I don't have Amazon instant video myself, but I think I can help you. When you turn on your Roku, you'll see the Home screen first. Select the CHANNEL STORE icon and wait for it to load. Find the AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO icon, which is easy, it will be the second icon in the Most Popular category, and select it. Then select "add channel" and when the page loads, select "go to channel". You should now be at the page that says "welcome" at the top right. Now you can see your options. If you don't already have Amazon Prime, you can select the 30-day free trial option and follow the directions on the next page. If you have already purchased Amazon Prime, you can select the next option and follow the directions on the next page. It looks easier to me to use the second option "Get started on the Amazon website", so select that and then follow the directions. I hope this helps.

Thanks, Carol. I have no idea what "prime instant video" is! Living waaaay out in the country does not allow for access to any type of streaming what-so-ever. Only purchased the unit because old DVD player died. Sorry I could not be of help. Mike

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?

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand
