Does the "Smart TV" function of this have the ability to stream Amazon Prime video?

No, unfortunetaly not. But the Sony 3D blue-ray player I had to buy did have amazon streaming.

I can get it to load but not play, however I used my XBox360 and they have an app for instant video works great

I have not tried this specifically from Amazon Prime, but I do have the TV connected to my home wireless and I have streamed video on the TV from other sources, such as youtube, on the TV's browser. So I would suspect Amazon Prime video would work just the same as other sources.

Sorry...I didnt try it either. We also really dont use it for the apps either....we tried the webbrowser once and it came up with what just seemed like commercials for Sony. Good luck!

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.

No...we purchased a Sony Blu Ray player and it had better apps. It's 2 months now since we bought this TV and love it!

It's not a smart TV, but you can stream Amazon Prime, Netflix, MLB, etc. via a Roku or wifi DVD player or other device that you plug into your TV and add to a wifi network.

Yes. It originally did not include Amazon Prime but an update added it to the list of Premiums in Smart TV. If you purchased a new one and it does not include AP, just go to the menu options and update the firmware.

"Amazon Instant Video" is available out of the box....not sure if Prime can be added or not.

Unfortunately, no. Amazon Prime Video is not available on any Android or forked Android device. Only Fire and tOO.

Amazon Prime works as an app on this TV for me. I had to perform a software update when I first received it in order to make it work, but it did eventually let me enter my credentials and watch Amazon Prime video.

Not sure... Not an Amazon prime user... Does have an Internet search function that could possibly be used for amazon prime

No not Amazon, it streams everything else well if you have a decent wifi or ethernet connection. I hooked up a blu-ray player that plays Amazon.

No. You will need to add an Internet device such as Roku to hook up to Amazon Prime.

I truly hate when people provide uninformative, useless answers to questions. YES, it will let you watch Amazon Prime movies, including the free movies and TV shows available from the Amazon Prime subscription: I know, I use it. The built-in Primetime app integrates Netflix and Amazon (and Google Play videos and Redbox and your cable/satellite TV) into one app that is really a pretty nice way to see everything you have available through one app.

It does support Amazon Prime videos. I've logged into my Amazon account and watched a movie as I would on any other computer with a browser.
