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.http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices#Television For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video.

Amazon instant videos? I'm 62 and still trying to figure out how to stream Netflix. (I have, by the way!) Better check with someone else. Good luck!

Currently the only tablet which can access Amazon's Instant Video services is the Amazon Kindle Fire line. The Amazon App store and/or Google Play app store do not offer an Amazon Video App for any other devices.

You need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer; it is not pre-installed on the device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this issue; you can load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

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

Yes. You can get Amazon Instant Videos right on the TV as long as you have an internet connection. It works great. I use it all the time.

Gina Harris, The Amazon Instant Video App can be found on the following Samsung models only: http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

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.

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

Hi Edith, this TV doesn't have Amazon app pre-installed and other apps found on latest Sony TV models. -Vincent

You can do hulu, vudu, netflix, pandora, cinema now, youtube, flingo, and rhapsody. You can also do social media (twitter, flickr and facebook.) I do not see Amazon instant video as an option.

Do you have access to Yahoo Widgets through your TV? If so, you will need to install the Amazon Widget via the Yahoo Widget Store. As far as I know, that's the only way to access Amazon Instant Video on Samsung TVs. Did you contact Samsung directly to see if you can install Yahoo Widgets? EDIT: After looking further, it doesn't look like this TV has any Apps features at all. Unless they were somehow added via firmware update. If there was no update, I think you might be out of luck.

Good news people. I just upgraded my BD-E5900 software version from 1063 to 1066 and we're now able to view Amazon Instant Videos.

Unfortunately it can't. I just purchased last season of Breaking Bad from Amazon Prime so I can finish the series. My model, UN55D6000SFXZA, is not compatible to the Amazon Video app according to a chat session with a Samsung CS rep. Very disappointed needless to say. I just don't understand why an app can't be created. The CS rep wasn't helpful in directing me to someone who could help.

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?

Huh? One of the answers, below, says that "there is no Amazon on Samsung products, only SONY and Panasonic." Nope. Untrue. I own two Samsung TVs, and both have Amazon Instant Video on them. I do not currently own a Samsung player (I'm considering this one to play Region2 disks, like "Blake's Seven" which has never, ever been released to the US market). FYI, at present, while virtually every Samsung TV ever put out supports Amazon Instant Video... only two models of BD players do. Blu-ray Player Manufacturer and Model Year Samsung BD-F5900 2013 Samsung BD-F7500 2013 So, the answer is... THIS device will not provide Amazon Instant Video (at present, at least).
