How could I watch Amazon Prime Instant Video on this TV?

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

with a Roku or some other similar device - I believe Amazon may have an Amazon branded product that performs the same function, but they all essentially are independent devices that connect to your WiFi and allow you to sign on to your streaming service of choice for output to your video device ( the Roku 3 is the only one I have direct experience with, and it has so far proven excellent for Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo and a number of other services ).

This is not a smart TV, so you need a smart box to get programming. We use Apple TV, but you cannot get Amazon Prime on Apple TV. Roku will work or Amazon Fire.

Hi Bob, I don't have Amazon instant video myself, but I think I can help you. When you turn on your Roku, you'll see the Home screen first. Select the CHANNEL STORE icon and wait for it to load. Find the AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO icon, which is easy, it will be the second icon in the Most Popular category, and select it. Then select "add channel" and when the page loads, select "go to channel". You should now be at the page that says "welcome" at the top right. Now you can see your options. If you don't already have Amazon Prime, you can select the 30-day free trial option and follow the directions on the next page. If you have already purchased Amazon Prime, you can select the next option and follow the directions on the next page. It looks easier to me to use the second option "Get started on the Amazon website", so select that and then follow the directions. I hope this helps.

This Tv doesn't have an app for Amazon. However , I would highly recommend researching Roku. It's a hockey Puck sized device that provides hundreds of apps including amazon

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.

You go to Smart Hub and select the Amazon Instant Video icon or fit you do not have it you download the app. After you click on it you select "register your device" on its home screen and follow the instructions it gives you. It will give you a registration number which you will then enter it on the Amazon website and then your TV is registered. I hope this helps.

This is an old TV, so it's not a "smart" TV. You'll need a 3rd party device (ie: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, etc) in order to run any app like Amazon Video, Netflix, etc.

Please make sure you have updated firmware in your samsung TV. Also update smart hub applications using the tools button on the remote. Once you have done the above steps download the Amazon App to your TV. for me Amazon app appeared after i upgraded the firmware and smarthum pair your tv with your Amazon Account. You need to have amazon prime membership to watch the amazon instant videos for free

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.

Assuming you already have a membership to Amazon Prime you will need to access the Amazon app on your TV, sign into the app and enter the access code on Amazon from your computer or tablet.

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.

No, Amazon Prime is not one of the built in apps on smart Sharp TV's. They have built in apps for Vudu, YouTube, HuluPlus, CinemaNow, NewFlix, Film Fresh, Facebook, and Skype. Unless there is a built in app, nothing else will work on the TV. There is a "search browser" but it sucks and nothing comes up in the searches. Great TV for picture and everything, but the WiFi, or "smart" part of the TV only works with the apps they have set-up to work with the TV. You probably can connect your laptop or computer to Amazon and then hook it up to the TV instead.

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.

As of 12-6-2014, Amazon does now have an app that will allow you to watch Prime videos. If you already have the Amazon app installed then go to a Prime selection you want to watch. It should prompt you if you want to install the Prime Video app. Say yes and let it do it's thing. Now you can watch Prime. If that doesn't work you can just search for Prime Video app in the app store and install it.

I haven't tried Amazon, but suddenly my ability to get Netflix, Youtube, Facebook, etc. has disappeared. I have talked with Netflix & with my internet provider...they concluded it's the tv. I've seen the problem in online forums. They say to reset the tv back to factory settings. But I'm going to call Vizio & see if they can walk me through it.

I have not found a way to access my amazon prime account using the TV alone. There are several different devices (boxes, dvd bluray, . . .) you can purchase and attach to the TV to share the content. My personal opinion I bought this TV and never use the smart features. I connect to the internet via my $100 blu ray player that I can toss once better options and upgrades are in current bluray players. Stick with a dumb TV and use the "Smart" feature of the cheaper options that are connected.
