Hello Angel! To be honest I'm not sure about that. Mine isn't in the livingroom, it's in my bedroom and needs the Ethernet cord to be able to go online. Sorry I couldn't give you more then that.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you.

NO, contrary to the answers here, this player does NOT play Amazon Prime videos. There is NO Amazon Prime application in the Samsung App store. I've updated the firmware as new as it can be and still no Amazon Prime. That is one of the primary reasons I chose this player, so it looks like I got suckered into this purchase. Yea for me.

Yes. I have had a Roku for several years, and used primarily for Netflix. Now with the newer RokuHD and Amazon Prime membership, I can stream everything from Amazon that is available in excellent viewing quality.

If you are asking if this TV can connect to Amazon Prime streaming video, then the answer is "no". This TV has absolutely no Internet connectivity capabilities at all. It's just a plain old TV, although it's a decent one for the price.

It has apps for Netflix, Vudu, Blockbuster, but not Amazon Prime (at least not the model I purchased).

I don't know, I was able to watch Netflix, so I would assume you can watch Amazon Prime shows on it if you have the app installed just like Netflix

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which works great.

This player does stream Netflix and Amazon. When I go to apps the following are listed, hulu plus, youtube, vudu, pandora, target, internet tv, flickr, facebook, amazon, netflix, flixster, cinemanow, rhapsody, picasa, accuweather, and twitter.

Yes, everything works great on this player. Debated about getting a amazon fire tv or apple tv...but this also has a bluray player!

No. It doesn't stream Amazon prime, however I stream directly from my PS3. Lord points out some other alternatives as well. The software is somewhat slow and buffers simultaneously on some apps (Such as YT & Google...) However Netflix streams flawlessly & it's energy efficient.

Not sure about Amazon Prime, but I can stream videos from Hula Plus and Netflix. This is a fantastic product.

No it will not access Amazon mp3. I bought this unit to access hdd's and the tons of movies I have on them and it has been glitched on several mkv files. Wouldn't even play the same files when I converted them to a format it would read. Some mkv would read just fine but others would not. It also doesn't play Netflix very well either. I have kept it updated and have it hard-lined to my modem with 50mb of speed and Netflix reads at 1mb to .09mb and stays very pixeled. Although Amazon Prime plays at 21mb and looks amazing.

It's not a smart TV, but you can stream Amazon Prime, Netflix, MLB, etc. via a Roku or wifi DVD player or other device that you plug into your TV and add to a wifi network.

It does not have an Amazon Prime app. It works with Netflix (but can only play stuff from your instant queue, no browsing), Blockbuster, Film Fresh and vTuner. It does not have built in wireless either, so you need an ethernet cable or a usb wi fi dongle (it comes with a cheapo one with terrible range). While I'm here, a few extra caveats: the disc noise on this player is much higher than on other portables I've used, and the built in speakers are horrible quality and are very quiet. I would not buy this unless it's especially cheap. Screen quality is very good for a portable though... though the viewing angles are very narrow even by portable player standards.

Yes. It will stream Amazon, YouTube, and Hulu also. It will stream Netflix 4K videos and YouTube 4K videos if you have an internet speed of 15Mbps or faster.

This player is pretty basic and I don't think Prime is on it. It has Hulu and Netflix and maybe one or two others.
