Can you stream Amazone-Prime Instant video with this TV? In other words can this connect to Internet or does it require a PC to connect to internet?

I am using a Roku to watch Amazon Prime and Netflix with this television. I do not believe that this television can directly connect to these streaming services. You will probably need a separate device, but it doesn't need to be as complicated as a PC. I highly recommend the Roku for what you are asking.

Great TV but it is not a Smart TV...you could maybe stream to the tv from another source such as a Blue Ray that can stream Netflix but not sure about Amazon. In my case my main TV is a smart tv so I am not concerned about the small tv not being able to do that....hope this helps

Hi, no it will not. It is an entry-level smart box with no internet search function to access Amazon. You will need to purchase a higher end unit like a Roku 2 or 3, Netgear Prime or apple unit. These units have Amazon instant play preloaded.

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.

Amazon prime is a type of membership with Amazon. Not a program you can download. Having said that it does have "Amazon instant movies". If you log in using the same "Amazon prime" account data then you CAN watch your Amazon Prime videos". If you need further information pls refer to the manual, Sony, or Amazon. I will say I can watch Amazon Prime videos....hope that helps.

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.

No. Amazon Prime is not available. Amazon Instant video is available. If you have paid for any movies or tv shows, then you can download and watch, but you do not have access to free movies. Or you can pay for the items you get on other devices for free. Netflix is available, though.

Sign in to your Amazon Prime account and find Amazon Instant Video settings. Then paste in this url: http://tinyurl.com/kk5hwfp for a list of compatible tvs. If yours isn't here, I don't think you'll be able to watch Amazon on your TV. I can't get it on mine. Maybe someone else knows something I don't know.

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.

Another option is buying a device like Roku which I hear will give you access to Amazon prime as well. This is larger in size than a dongle but may have better streaming.

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.

We recently replaced our Panasonic Viera Plasma, after not even 5 years because it became bad !!! So I can not even recommend this TV. To your question - we never did amazon movie streaming, so I can't answer your question - sorry.

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.

Well I bought this player for a friend as a gift. I don't know what it does. I bought this one because it came with the HDMI cable and my friend has a LG TV so the remote that came with the TV would also work on the DVD player. Plus my friends TV has 3d and so does the DVD player. My friend doesn't have internet but I believe it comes with Netflix and all the rest of the internet options. I don't know if it access Amazon prime or not.

Yes you can, we actually connected our desktop up to it permanently for streaming videos from Netflix and Amazon Prime. We also stream from network tv websites and the NFL. We initially used a laptop or our kids Playstation to stream stuff, all worked great. Keep in mind streaming is dependent on your internet speed as far as quality is concerned. If you get a lot of buffering/stalling while streaming blame your internet connection, not the TV. I hope that helps. By the way, I've had the TV for almost a year now and still recommend it.
