I complained, but the response was somewhat confusing. It could be that the hardware won't support it or that since Adobe is a plug in they won't upgrade it because it is a plug in.

Well, I was almost convinced to buy this LG, but now I'm rethinking it. Why wouldn't they have the latest Flash version?

Call LG customer support at (800) 243-0000 and complain. I did. The more complaints that they get for the lack of an Adobe Flash update from version 8 to 9 or better yet version 10, the better the chances of them doing something about it! CALL!!!! It is unconscionable for LG to sell their "smart" TV sets without the automatic updating of Adobe Flash. It severely limits the sets "smart" feature. CALL & COMPLAIN!!!

Did the netflix app stopped working for anyone? I can very well see the listing but when i try to play it gives me that error message "cannot play the title right now. please try again later"

Go to smart tv settings and deactivate the netflix account and then try to log in again. It solves the problem for us.

You should be able to stream Amazon video if you access it using Chrome browser. Otherwise, try sideloading Adobe flash version that's a generation older. That has worked with my Android tablets.

The information below is correct and I was able to download and install Adobe Flash Player. I am very pleased with this product.JC

I wouldn't say you can browse just like a PC, but more like a smartphone with a Chrome browser. Flash videos aren't supported (unlike PC chrome browser), that's the major difference. The look and feel of all the other webpages you access will be the tablet/smartphone layout.

If I remember correctly, it comes with the Hulu Plus app pre-installed. If not, you can download it from the Barnes and Noble Store. The browser does support Flash.

I'm not sure if this is the same reason, but I had to update my software version to get google or anything on mine. Once I did, I had video and everything a regular computer has. go to you tube and do a search and watch the video. If you cant find it let me know I will look it up step by step for you. Hope this helps

Nope, LG has it's own apps store where you can download applications for this TV and it uses Internet to update TV's software, but no, you can not get in to an email account or search in google or any other browser

I have the 32LN5700 32" model and is is updated to the latest firmware (LG calls it 'software') ver. 03.20.32. At this time (6/17/2013) there is no app for Amazon Instant Video/Amazon on Demand in the menu. I am an Amazon Prime customer, so I hope that this option is available soon.

My daughter hasn't used it yet for web browser games, yes it does support adobe flash. She loves watching Netflix on it. You can also expand the storage on it

I don't think so. I have a hard time playing Facebook games, and I keep getting a message that Flash Player needs to be updated even though it already is the latest version. I wouldn't recommend it for playing games.

Yes. I watch streaming videos a lot, mostly use netflix, youtube, and other various movie apps. The browser does support flash. This device is like a Android smart phone that hooks up to your big screen tv. Android OS is known for supporting flash and Iphones do not. You can also download different browser apps from Amazon apps and Google play.

You will need to download an older version of Adobe Flash Player. As of 8/15/12, Adobe no longer supports other mobile devices with their new version. An older version is a work around, but works just fine.

I have the same version of Adobe Flash installed. I cannot watch any of the mentioned videos at either Youtube or Hulu without disabling hardware acceleration first. I have attempted to update the Nvidia drivers, but it appears that everything is already up to date. At this point, I suspect that I may have simply gotten a bad computer. Acer support will not give me free support for this because they claim that this is a third-party software issue. I am considering RMA'ing now.Thank you for confirming that everything works on your system with hardware acceleration enabled. I really appreciate your time and responses :) I have the same version of Adobe Flash installed.

I am also trying to figure out the difference between the 42lv5500 and 42lv5400. They seem very similar except for the adobe flash updates. Which model has this feature and what is the advantage of having it? I am very low tech, but my boys are much more savvy. Are there any other features on one and not the other that makes a difference? Please help. Thanks

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.
