Compatability with Amazon Prime? I assume that this product is compatible with Amazon Prime, because the previous version (310) was. But the listing hasn't been updated at Amazon, so checking to see if anyone has already used it with Prime Videos. Thanks in advance for any feedback! Compatability with Amazon Prime?

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.

I just got mine today and yes it is compatible with Amazon Prime Videos once you link it to your account.

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.

No, there is no Amazon Prime ability yet. There might be one in the future via firmware update, but I won't hold my breath. If I want to watch a video from Amazon, I can purchase it on my tablet and use the WiDi feature of this product to display it on my HDTV. An improvement over the neoTV200 model.

Hello Kathryn. I have never had any difficulty using Amazon Prime with this television? I use it frequently in fact. What issues arise for you?

See the odd thing is that Amazon has two different kinds of delivery - Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Prime Instant Video are TWO DIFFERENT things.I can get "Amazon Instant Video" on my Tivo HD, but I cannot get the Amazon Prime Instant Video on my Tivo HD. This was a surprise to me. I signed up for Prime, could not get the stream and I actually talked on the phone to a live person who said 'no, the Amazon Prime Instant Video will not stream to a Tivo HD". Netflix works just fine.So before I would order this, I'd like to know that it will do the PRIME Instant Video.

As a follow up, so others are aware, whether or not Prime works appears to be a function of what version of firmware the set is running. On my set, which I also bought from Amazon, it is running firmware: V1.16.30.0529. This appears to work fine, including Amazon Prime.

I have Amazon Prime on my TV and it works just fine - I don't know how the DVD/Blu-Ray player comes into play, but I haven't had any glitches. I'm not very technologically oriented but I do know I love this player!

The issue, as I understand it, is that for some odd reason, according to Amazon, Samsung decided to leave off the App Amazon uses for their Video-On-Demand (VoD) service. What's messed up is that the 2009, 2010, and 2012 TV's allow Amazon's VoD service, but the 2011 sets don't. I called Samsung and they confirmed this, but blames Amazon. On the other hand Amazon blames Samsung.Hope that answers your question.

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

You need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer; it is not pre-installed on the device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this issue; you can load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

I watch Amazon Prime videos via my iPad Air all of the time. I also watch Netflix, Hulu & videos residing on my computer hard drive. I had a Kindle Fire but the newest version had a nasty looking blue fringe on the screen that was annoying. I sent that back & sold my old iPad & got the Air & very happy with gorgeous video, fast response & versatility. It is great!

FYI: Amazon Prime video is now available for this model - thought I'd get the good news out! Link to your TV through the Amazon interface first - they'll provide a code for setup on the TV.

Yes. To get Amazon Prime video to work:1. Go to Settings and change to allow outside Apps2. Go to Amazon Prime video thru the browser and try to order a movie3. Amazon will take you to directions for Android...essentially, you install the Amazon AppStore app, then thru that you you install Amazon video app4. Use the Amazon Video app...done

Hi Jim, Amazon publishes a list of its compatible devices here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices/ref=hp_3757_compatible I do not know why some devices are compatible and some aren't, but I can tell you that having an Amazon compatible device is of the utmost importance to me. Rarely will a smart tv or smart blu ray have Amazon but not Netflix or Hulu.
