does it have flash player installed, or needs to be downloaded?

It already has Adobe Flash Reader and Adobe Flash Player installed. Updates can be manually or automatically. But I do have to let you know that there is suppose to be Android software update soon, but hasn't been out yet. So, the tablet gets a little painfully slow for those who are impatient. I only use this tablet for my Kindle and videos, and my kids are on it for the games. Hardly use the browser on this.

Flash is no longer offered in the Play Store for devices running later versions of Android, like Jelly Bean, so you have to get it direct from Adobe (don't worry, it's free). Plus, many of the newer Android-compatible browsers don't support Flash, so you have to get one of the few left that do. To get Flash, go to this site - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1061194 - and follow the clear, well-written instructions. I installed Flash 11.1.115.81, which is the most recent of the archived versions, on my Galaxy S4 phone and it works fine. Now for the browser. I recommend Boat Browser or Boat Browser Mini, both of which are free and available in the Play Store. These are obscure but excellent browsers - I've used Mini exclusively on smartphones for several years with zero complaints, and I do a lot of surfing from my phone. Once Boat is installed, open it, go into Settings, and under "Page content settings", make sure "Enable flash/plug-ins" is set to "Always on". You should be good to go. BTW, if you're not a fan of the dumbed-down mobile renderings of web pages, there's a nifty setting in Boat called "Set UA" (UA stands for User Agent) where you can force every page to be displayed as it would be on a computer desktop - of course, you'll have to scroll around and pinch-to-zoom to navigate, but you'll get all of the content. One other caveat - full episode renderings on network websites seem to have problems no matter what browser you use, so don't be surprised if you have to go to your computer to watch those. The networks do seem to be getting it, finally, as they are now rolling out Android apps specifically geared for video content, and those will undoubtedly be the way to go eventually.

It does not have flash and Adobe flash CANNOT be installed. You can download one of the android browsers such as Firefox Flash that have flash players incorporated into them. Word of warning: DO NOT pay over $59 for this tablet brand new. The sellers here charging $165 are ripping off novice tablet buyers. Tablets are my business. A tablet with these specifications can be bought all over the internet for $59 or less. Shop around!

This thing didn't have anything preloaded on it. You can always download Adobe Flash Player by yourself

NOPE. Took many tries but later did install. It was a waste of $100.00 because it doesn't do anything. Might be OK for someone who really...really... wants Media Player. There are many FREE media players on the Internet. I like VLC. It results in a better picture and better sound. Save your money and go FREE with VLC.

You can't update the flash player. LG will need to do a firmware update that includes something higher than the Flash 8 that comes with the browser. There is no word on if they are going to update it or not. I wouldn't count on it.

It has Amazon VOD. The player didn't originally have it, which might be why the specs don't mention it. But, don't worry. The latest software update for the player includes it.

It does have flash and alot of sites use flash player but I did not try it to watch movies on. I was pretty disappointed with the display on it. Also the battery dies fast even though i turn anything off that drains the battery.I would suggest that you look into allwinner. I thought I found something better than the one I broke accidentally and was definitely wrong. At this price range I highy recommend allwinner products.

games I don't know (never use it for that), but Java and Flash content from websites works fine, even on full desktop versions (instead than mobile ones), I use Chrome browser and keep it updated

I didn't install one. As a result the frequency of flash is higher, which doesn't bother me. Do it if you want the normal flash rate.

Hi Anthony, I never used a flash player on it, so I do not know if it supports flash player. Sorry for that.

Yes, I was able to connect to You Tube and watch something. I had to sign up for Netflix and I got that far, but didn't want to set up for the trial month. So that's all I can say about that. It does not have flash - so if there's anything you need that uses flash, it won't play (some of the stuff I might want to watch off of Facebook won't play).....I love it for sitting and playing games while watching TV. It's faster than the 2x2 that I had before. Hope this helps.

its on 2 disks....you have to store the installation disk (disk 1) completely on the Hard Drive to play (you need atleast 5-7 GB of space). I would not recommend a flash drive.

It will play flash media from the browser. Awesome device, like having your android phone connected to your TV
