First off, you have to have this thing plugged into the internet. Either by way of a wireless adapter, or through an Ethernet cable. Once that is done, click the "Internet TV" button on your remote. This will load the Yahoo Widgets. The first widget should be something ala "Browse" or "Customize". Click this, and it will open a new window. Scroll to the right 3 times and there is the Amazon on Demand. Click add to widget toolbar. NExt, go back to the tool bar, and click the amazon widget. Click the icon that looks like a crank...i.e. setup. This will walk you through linking the amazon on demand with your tv. You need a pc to do this. Good luck.

whenever I try to watch an Amazon video it says that I don't have the most recent version of flash. But according to the Market I do. I can watch netflix & google vids fine but anything from Amazon gets thwarted. If anyone here knows what I need to do to fix this I would be SOOOO grateful!!!

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

And don't completely let Amazon off the hook. I would buy PRIME in a heartbeat if I could also watch streaming on a big screen.... I have no interest in viewing on my laptop. So Amazon would get an instant "sale" of their streaming. That alone should spur them on to urge LG to add the feature. I continue to press the NetCast button on my remote.... hoping (against hope) to see that "coming soon" box/icon replaced with Amazon Streaming (Prime). By the way, I worked 30 years as a programmer -- the software upgrade is very doable, if LG wanted to do it (or cared about past customers). And don't completely let Amazon off the hook.

I would suggest you update the 3D box as soon as you get it. Updates can be found on the website. Now if the 3D HDTV required error pops up just turn off the 3D box for a sec and just turn it back on & it should work.

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand

HEY FRANK:Dont think you are crazy. Adobe pulled its support for Amazon Unbox videos and the like. So, you simply wont be able to play your videos over your Asus until Amazon finds a way to patch or come up with a ew system of allowing people like you and I to watch the videos we have purchased. It licks balls because if you cant watch movies over it, whats the point, right? I have been assured that Amazon is working on this and will have a fix sooner than later. Until then, I either just watch stuff on Hulu or Youtube or, watch the stuff you have on Amazon at home over your Toshiba like I do. HEY FRANK:Dont think you are crazy.

I would worry. I was supposed to have my TV delivered last Friday. Never came, no call from Pilot or anything. I call every day since then and just found out today that Pilot "does not have the TV", they lost it. They blamed Amazon, Amazon blames Pilot. Long story short I'm not getting a TV as Amazon no longer has any in stock to send me as a replacement. Very upset with both companies. I hope your experience turns out better.

I asked nvidea about their lack of updates on their compatability list, and if newer versions of hdtv's were compatable. The guy stated firmly that if hdtv is not on compatability list, it will not work. I got no answer why they don't update list for newer tv's.

I have read elsewhere that you have to add what you want to watch to your Instant Queue in order to be able to watch it "On Demand" on certain devices.. perhaps this is the case with this unit? This other review noted that you were not able to search and begin streaming from those units. I believe this was a TV review I was reading, with something like NetCast installed. It might be worth a try.. add something to your Instant Queue and see if will let you start playing it.

Samsung and Amazon work fine on other models, but not this one. Tons of chatter on the net with this. I just went several rounds with Amazon, and they claimed that the hardware (ie processor) won't work with their service. Personally, I find it baloney. , Other models of Samsung before and after work just fine. And other software such as Netflix work without issue. Their answer was to buy a Roku. Personally, I'd skip Prime and stay with Netflix. I'd think long and hard about buying Samsung again too. They both really pissed me off. So sorry.

I just posted the same question - I was 1 week away from buying this TV (pay day) and suddenly it's only being sold by a 3rd party. Amazon DID begin carrying the item after your post (Oct 2007) but I wonder if this was the final runout :(

I always thought that consumers had 30 days (sometimes 14 depending on the store) to return an item for any reason so why would you not just return the TV and get your money back? I cannot believe that Amazon would not work with you in this instance. This is a reply to William C. Reitz Jr. "Techie" post above. EDIT: I found this on the Amazon.com returns policy area: "Televisions 27 Inches and Larger Amazon.com cannot accept the return of televisions 27 inches and larger after delivery. Upon delivery, please inspect your television carefully for damage while the shipper is still present. If you discover any damage, please refuse delivery and you will receive a refund. Your signature on our carrier's delivery receipt acknowledges that you understand our return policy. After the release form has been signed, returns of televisions 27 inches and larger will not be accepted. If you accept delivery and later find out that the television is not working properly, please check the paperwork that came with it to see if the problem is covered by a manufacturer's in-home service warranty. All televisions 27 inches or larger come with one. If you are unable to locate warranty information for a particular model, contact the manufacturer." How in the heck can Amazon.com get away with this? This is totally ridiculous! I will NEVER buy a TV from Amazon!
