Can Amazon Prime stream movies directly to the PN59D8000?

Not with the Amazon Prime App. Amazon supports all the tvs made in 2009, 2010, 2012 and beyond, but none for 2011, including this.

When I last checked it was incompatible but don't let that deter you. I added a Roku 2 XS for the much better menuing it offers than using the built in Internet browser and a far smoother streaming experience. With broadband >3Mbs the Hi Def images I see on this set are much better than I have seen on many theater screens. It really has changed how I see films.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you. No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap.

I just signed up for Amazon Prime and have had my Panasonic DMP-BD89 player for 2 years. Is it compatible with this model yet?

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.

If you are asking if this TV can connect to Amazon Prime streaming video, then the answer is "no". This TV has absolutely no Internet connectivity capabilities at all. It's just a plain old TV, although it's a decent one for the price.

You can't get amazon directly through the tv. We purchased roku in order to use our amazon prime on the tv.

No. You will need to add an Internet device such as Roku to hook up to Amazon Prime.

If you mean the Amazon Prime videos for viewing, the answer is NO. That is the main reason why this did not suit my needs.

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.

"Amazon Instant Video" is available out of the box....not sure if Prime can be added or not.

Yes, it's there for the DMP-MST60. I gave it a quick test and it connects to Amazon successfully and offers content. I don't have a Prime account and they don't seem to offer any samples, so I couldn't test the streaming performance.

Download the Netflix or Hulu app. There is now an app from Amazon that's supposed to let you watch Prime movies if you are a Prime customer, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Thanks, Carol. I have no idea what "prime instant video" is! Living waaaay out in the country does not allow for access to any type of streaming what-so-ever. Only purchased the unit because old DVD player died. Sorry I could not be of help. Mike

Unfortunately no. If Amazon Prime is a necessity than I would go with the Sony blu ray players. Just in case you didn't know, when you're cruising through Amazon looking for blu ray players it will tell you if the blu ray player is compatible with Prime underneath the product picture. For an example just look at the Sony blu ray players and you will see a "Amazon Instant Video" symbol where it indicates it will be compatible. Hope that helps.

To the best of my knowledge, you can't. Amazon Prime is not already installed on the machine and I never found a way to add it. None of the software updates ever included Amazon Prime. Other models of Blu-Ray come with Amazon Prime pre-installed (like this one does with Netflix).
