My television received an update on 6/10/14. The update added the Amazon Instant video app.

I purchased 6/16 and it received an update within about 3 hours of hooking it up. The update fixed Amazon Prime and added Spotify and a couple of misc. apps.

I bought this tv a year ago. I get a poor version of the Amazon app. No list, I can only find series or movies by searching. It's a real pain to get back to an episode of a series....search for the series, find the season-each time. So, it may have the app but it works poorly. Promises, promises but a year later, it's not improved.I also have a Samsung which has a really good Amazon app (and a the always great Netflix app). If you care about the app, don't buy Vizio

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.

Not working on my set, so I must have the funky firmware version. But I can still get the Amazon content on this set via my old Roku. The box shows Amazon icon, the TV remote has an Amazon button, the Smart TV Menu at the bottom of the screen has an Amazon selection, but the button sends you to a black screen and selecting the icon from the on-screen menu results in a message that Amazon content is not currently available but that they are working on it. I'm sure I could take it back to Costco, but it is a great TV otherwise, and I have the Roku workaround.

Yes, it's working. Just bought one yesterday, and it didn't work. TV updated itself overnight, and Amazon Prime works!! Hope this helps.

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?

I do not have wireless router intenet. I have LAN Ethernet. Will I still be able to bring up Netflix and hulu and amazon. I already have accounts with all of them. I can use my roku 3 but I use that in my bedroom and was putting this in living room and hoping not to drag wires to this tv.

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.

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

The Amazon Prime Video app is only available on Amazon. You have to allow installation of "apps from unknown sources" under, 'Unknown Sources', usually under 'Security' in, 'Settings'. This device may not have that option. You'll have to look.And No, 'Amazon Prime Video' or anything else by Amazon is not available in the Google Play Store for obvious reasons.

This set now has Amazon Instant Video as of 8/22/2013. Firmware version 04.00.20 is the one that added the Amazon app.

Please, someone that has actually done this should be the one to answer. The reason I say that is because I just recently (within a week ago from right now) discovered, along with other people, that it is still not possible to watch Amazon Instant Video material on an Android Tablet unless it's one of Amazon's tablets. If anyone has direct, personal experience to the contrary with this exact tablet model, please post up.

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

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

No this model does not have Amazon Instant Video yet, they say it is coming soon. It does not have a built in camera for skype but one is available as an accessory.

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

You CAN read your books, but Amazon has not put out an Amazon Instant Video app for android!

Natively, Amazon Prime Instant Videos require Adobe Flash Player installed on the tablet, which is not available on Android tablets like this Acer. Kindle Fire and iPads are supported. There are several free apps which state that they can stream Amazon Instant Videos; however I have not found one that works. I just unsuccessfully tried the free "Can I Stream It" app. If you are adventuresome the following link will supposedly step you through how to install and run Flash on an Android tablet - http://www.teleread.com/amazon/how-to-stream-amazon-instant-videos-on-a-nexus-7-or-other-android-tablet/. If running Amazon Instant Video on a tablet is important to you, I suggest that you get an Apple iPad instead.

Yes, there is an app for Netflix in the Store. As for Amazon Instant Video, you can stream it directly from internet explorer.

When I click on the amazon instant video app, it takes me to the browser page and nothing plays.
