This is one of the only cons I have found so far with this TV, is the lack of an amazon app.I use my PS3 to stream amazon to the tv though and that works fine.Roku, Playstation, Xbox, some DVD players, etc would be able to remedy this.

My TV shows the Amazon Prime app on the LG smart hub. You may need to run a software update but it has been there on mine since I bought the TV several months ago.

I use a Roku on mine for Amazon/Netflix... It connects into one of the HDMI ports. Works great!

I just bought this TV, too, but don't have it yet. Do you mean does it come with Internet apps or something? It doesn't. You can hook up a PC display to it, per the specs. You need an external device to connect to the Internet. In regard to watching Netflix on the TV, have you considered getting Roku? It's a very small device you use for streaming on your TV instead of (or also in conjunction with) using your PC. I love it and have the XD which will be used with this Panasonic when it comes. I also just ordered Roku 2 XS (on sale on Amazon) which will be used on the Sony I'm currently using the XD on when that comes. They have a Roku LT, which is cheaper than these two and is $50-$60. There are also channels for all Rokus, though the better ones (like Netflix) charge a fee. Still, cheaper than cable/satellite and you don't have to have your PC on to watch them on TV. You can check them out either on Amazon or Roku.com. Easy to set up and to use, too. BTW, since you already have streaming Netflix to your PC, there would be no additional charge using Netflix with Roku and watching on your TV. You would just need to activate the Roku device through Netflix. Hope this helps you enjoy Netflix on your TV. :)

Yes, it has the amazon Prime app for streaming videos. There is a button on the remote for that.

Because this is not a "Smart TV" it does not have direct connection to the Internet for Amazon Prime. However, I'm sure the TV would be quite capable of displaying a movie or other content from Amazon Prime if you had an Internet connected device, such as a Roku or Xbox, connected to the TV.

i stream Netflix and Amazon Prime. There are several other channels available with Roku, but those two are all I need.I recommend the Roku 3 (HDMI or hard-wired ethernet cable). Things may change for me. I have just purchased a new "smart" tv - a Sharp Aquos LED/LCD with built in wi-fi and streaming channels, including Netflix and Amazon. For the present, I will stay with my trusty Roku 3. Good luck to you!!!- Steve S.

Well, I haven't been able to get it to work. I purchased it from Amazon for the particular reason to watch Prime movies and when I wrote to them about it, the answer was...Oh well! I still haven't been able to get it to work because it is not listed in their streaming device list.

Netflix is a menu option. I also connected to Amazon Prime through the TV's internet connection. Basically, anything that is accessible through the internet is accessible through the TV, however some formats are not playable, such as .mkv files. I had no problem with .avi or .mp4 formats.

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.

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

I signed up for the one month trial of Prime (and VOD) a few days ago without even looking at what devices supported it. I figured there was no way Amazon would not be on the best streaming device available. When I got home and powered up my Boxee Box I was in shock that there was no Amazon App. How is this even possible? With Netflix screwing over millions of customers why hasnt Amazon stepped up to the plate?

If you mean Amazon Prime then I will say I don't use it but yes you can install the amazon prime app and watch their content as you would all the other media streaming devices.

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.

No not Amazon, it streams everything else well if you have a decent wifi or ethernet connection. I hooked up a blu-ray player that plays Amazon.

It isn't pre-loaded on the tv. I play Amazon Instant and Netflix on the tv through my PS3.

I can't either! At upper right hand corner of smart hub I keep seeing an Amazon prime ad. I click to install it and the Netflix app comes up
