This isn't a Smart TV, but Amazon has an ad on the product page saying that it can stream Amazon instant video. Is this possible, & how do you do it?

My tv can not stream amazon unless you have an Apple TV or something similar.

If you connect a USB cable from a computer or the appropriate DVR you can stream video to the TV. I chose this model for that reason. It provides the option of connecting the latest video option for streaming, rather than being limited to what is built in to the TV.

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.

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.

Lynda, That's a 2009 model, which doesn't support the Amazon Instant Video App.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

It does not currently have an Amazon Streaming Video application. If that is important to you then perhaps take a look at the Roku 3, or any other Roku model.

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which 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.

Yes, This has a web browser. Kinda hard to use since you have to use the on screen keyboard though. It also has the option of viewing netflix (In fact the remote has a "Netflix" button) and Hulu Plus and a couple others. Unfortunately it does not have an app for viewing Amazon instant video. I checked the instant video compatibility on Amazon's website and Sharp seems to be one of the only unsupported TV's

I do not own this tv but the product spec PDF on Amazon shows it to be DLNA compliant so you should be able to stream from a DLNA source on the network. Can anyone who owns this confirm?Update: I bought this TV and it DOES have DLNA networking capabilities. Worked very well streaming from a 2TB media server.

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.

Same problem here. I have been looking into flashing the firmware on my LG BD-590 blu-ray player with the app for Amazon instant video to Netcast. Have not found anything yet. I think when a manufacturer flashes the software to the firmware chip then that is the end of it. LG just recently added Amazon to Netcast on the new models. So we may have to purchase another devise to get the Amazon Netcast app. What I have been doing to watch Amazon VOD is to use my laptop HDMI out to my HD TV. Just logon to your Amazon Prime account and watch on PC or video out to TV via HDMI if you have that capability.

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.

Not without help. You will need a device like an Amazon Fire Stick or an Xbox that has the Amazon Prime app on it. You plug the device into the HDMI port of the TV and then you can watch Amazon Instant Videos.

It does support Amazon Instant Video. BUT, the smart application for this TV is outdated, does not contain Wishlist access, or the better/ newer user interface that other TVs do (like Samsung) .

I have this TV and do watch Amazon Instant on it since I have 'Prime'. I have never been impressed with Amazon's interface (not Vizio's fault), but it does work, and there is a button on the remote control for it.
