Just purchchased this TV and am an Amazon Prime member, do I need a Roku box to stream Amazon movies? If not, how do I do it?

No Roku needed. Just hit the Internet button on the remote and it is preloaded. You do need the wifi adapter as wifi is not built in.

You either need Roku or a more expensive box that Panasonic sells. We went with Roku.

I have the same TV and it can stream Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix and Hulu by itself. Once the TV is connected to the internet either by wired connection or the wifi adapter you only have to press the internet button on the remote. A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and you can pick the service you want to use. I've used mine for Amazon VOD and Netflix and it works great.

No, you don't need a roku box to get Amazon prime. Just make sure you have wireless in your home

A Roku box is unnecessary, according to my relative who received this TV from me as gift. last year we gave him the Roku box for use with his old set, so I believe he knows from personal experience. Can't help with the how to part. Sorry.

Answer here...No you don't need a roku box. You will need to hook the TV up to your internet connection either through ethernet cable or buy the optional wireless adapter. Once that is set up just go to the internet apps and select the amazon service. It will give you a link to a webpage where you will need to enter the PIN it provides. Once your tv is activated on the webpage using this pin you are good to go.

Yes, I use the Amazon app on the TV all the time! Vizio makes a great TV. The picture is and sound is great! I'm very happy with my purchase.

You do not need "Cable TV" to use the Roku. You will need an internet connection to stream movies and tv shows from online services like Netflix and Amazon

Sounds like a simple question but I have tried out so many products I will need to check. I think it is at the lake house. I can watch amazon on my Panasonic Blu Ray player and on on Roku, I also use slingbox so I just watch my tv at home at the lake. I know I bought it but drawing a blank right now. I will get back with you.

Unfortunately, you can not. I am using features like Amazon Prime video by using my PS3. Or you can get something a little more affordable like a Roku. If you are not a gamer consider a Roku. I would recommend a Roku 2 or if you can spare a few bucks get the Roku 3. It has wifi, 1080p and Amazon Prime. Also has Netflix and other services and games than will keep the user busy for a long time. I hope this answers your question.

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...

Have you considered a Roku box? Designed to stream Netflix and Amazon content; does not appear to work with Hulu.

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.

It will not stream Amazon Prime. I sent it back and got a Sony Blu-Ray Disc DVD player.

Ditto to what T. Whiting said. There's a list on the web that shows what Samsung devices actually have the amazon prime streaming service app. Sadly this is not on the list. *sigh* Would have been an awesome addition.

Dear frend, Thank you for yourmessage. If the amazon prime is a Android app, this TV box will play it. If not, this TV box will not work with it. More details please look at the listing. Best regards, Maria

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

I signed up for the one month trial of Prime (and VOD) a few days ago without even looking at what devices supported it. I figured there was no way Amazon would not be on the best streaming device available. When I got home and powered up my Boxee Box I was in shock that there was no Amazon App. How is this even possible? With Netflix screwing over millions of customers why hasnt Amazon stepped up to the plate?

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.

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.
