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.

Of course it can be used with Amazon Prime movie streaming. Just feed it a modern device like Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or any number of modern Blu-Ray players with "Smart" built-in Apps allowing it. Your 2004 Panny Plasma does not have those features built-in to it.

I use it a lot to watch both Net Flix and Amazon Prime and the picture is excellent, I have no issues with the monitor as far as displaying high quality HD video.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

yes i can stream 2 of these to zoneminder on amazon vpc with a m3.medium.... and you need at least 4+Mbps upload, but if so, i can get 30fps... need to reduce monitor resolution, or up aws instance type to see it, so that can be expensive

No. Amazon is not one of the User Interface Apps built in to the TV. However, you can purchase many blu ray players for about a hundred bucks that have Amazon Instant Video, such as my Panasonic. It's still cumbersome though

No. I called Panasonic, and the technician said that Amazon could not be added to the list of video services for this model. I sent it back.

I have the 65" 8550. I've seen mixed results online whether its 8 or 10 bit, but apparently netflix and amazon's 4k streaming codec is only compatible with 10 bit TVs, and the 8550s are listed as compatible with 4k streaming on both sites' 4k requirements.

You might check out epvision's primedtv website. It has more product details than the Amazon website.

Unfortunately, no you can't, it comes loaded with Hulu Plus, Netflix, Pandora, VuDu, CinemaNow, Viewster, NO Amazon Prime.....The LG TV's have Amazon Prime, not the BluRay player.....

This tv does NOT support the h.265 codec required for 4k streaming from Netflix or amazon

It will stream at the resolution of the source. I double-checked by watching a minute or two of a blu-ray quality movie on my 1920x1200 monitor, but didn't see any scaling artifacts.

Yes - We are able to watch the amazon prime movies on this set - occasionally there is a slight delay in the streaming, but that could easily be blamed on our cable provider.

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).

It appears to max at 1900 x 1080. My Lenovo 9704 HTPC is connected via HDMI to my Integra DTR 5.8 and then HDMI to my Panasonic 46" plasma. The picture is gorgeous. Solid 1080p with seamless streaming from most websites. (and with only two megs of system ram)

Yes you can and you don't even need WMC. The HDHomeRun PRIME is DLNA certified so you can stream to any DNLA compliant device (i.e. a tablet, android phone, ipad, iphone, smart device, etc..)

It works well with Amazon prime....in fact BETTER than my Roku box. Roku has "buffering" from time to time, never saw that with this. But it does not have the advertised Flixster support, so beware.
