Besides from being an e-commerce giant, Amazon offers a lot
of other very interesting services like Amazon Prime Video, which is included
with your Prime subscription. This platform works just like any other streaming
platform in which you can watch an unlimited number of movies and TV shows on
any device, as long as it is compatible. However, even if you can watch it on
any device you want, there is nothing more comfortable than curling up on your
couch and watching a movie on the big screen of your very own TV. That’s why
here is everything you need to know about Smart TVs that are compatible with
Amazon Prime.
Just like all the other similar platforms, you need to hire
the Prime service to access the library of the platform, once you have done
that, the service is available in a very wide variety of different devices,
among which there are the smart TVs.
How to watch Amazon Prime on your Smart TV
In order to watch Amazon Prime on a smart TV, you first need
to check if your TV actually has the app needed to stream Amazon Prime already
installed. If it doesn’t then you’ll need to go to the app download section and
do it yourself [download it].
Once you have done this, open the Amazon Prime app on your
TV and enter your personal data for your Amazon account (email and password),
this way you can access the content and you’ll be able to enjoy all the wide
variety of movies the platform offers.
What Smart TV brands are compatible with Amazon Prime Video
Well, officially, Amazon has never released a full list of
the models that are compatible with the Prime Video app. However, the company
does recommend that if you have any doubts regarding this you can contact them
and check if your TV model is compatible or not, and it shouldn’t cause you too
much of a problem.
However, Amazon has actually offered some information about
the brands that have compatible models that will let you stream Amazon Prime
video on your smart TV. In this case, it is actually important to mention that
the app might not be compatible with some smart TV models made by Samsung in
2012 ever since January 2018. Any model after that year (2012) is compatible.
Besides that, the app that lets you watch Amazon Prime Video
is available in any smart TV of the brands WebOS (all models released after
2014), Sony and Phillips also have compatible smart TVs (all models after
2015), and so does Panasonic (2015 and later models too).
Didn’t find your TV on this list? Here is how you can watch Amazon Prime
Amazon Fire TV Stick-
Not having a compatible Smart Tv shouldn’t stop you from enjoying all the
awesome benefits Amazon Prime Video brings you, and it also shouldn’t mean you
have to change your TV. There is actually a pretty economical option released
by Amazon itself. The Amazon TV Fire Stick is an affordable device that will
let us watch Amazon Prime Video, even if our TV is not connected to Wi-Fi.
Video consoles PS3,
PS4 y Xbox One- As it turns out, there is more than one benefit to having
this kind of consoles, and one of them is you can stream Amazon Prime Video. It
is available in Play Station 3, Play Station 4, and on Microsoft’s console, the
Xbox One. So, as it turns out if you have one of these console models at home
you can use them to stream Amazon Prime and not have an issue.
Apple TV- the
popular device obviously had to offer one of the most famous streaming
services. Amazon has an official application already preinstalled on Apple TV
devices. If the app isn’t preinstalled on your device, the only thing you have
to do is download it from the App Store on your Apple TV, later you’ll just
need to enter your Amazon account, and once you do that you should be able to
stream all the movies and TV series on Amazon Prime Video and enjoy all the
platform’s content. However, the app is only compatible with models 4K, and the
third and fourth generations of Apple TV devices.
Nvidia Shield-
This is another device that is compatible with the Prime Video app, so if you
have this device you’ll be able to stream the movies in Prime Video without the
need to have a Smart TV or a compatible model. The app has been available in
this device since 2016, and the only thing you’ll need to do to access the app
is to open it in your device and enter your credentials to access, and ready,
you can now enjoy all the content of this app in the big TV you have at home.
Chromecast- You
can’t actually stream content directly from the Prime Video app directly into
the Google platform, anyhow, there is an alternative for you to use your
Chromecast to watch Prime video on your TV. In order to do this, what you’ll
need to do is use Chromecast as a support, and by using Google Home app (which
is also available for both iOS and Android devices). Once you install the
Google Home app, you’ll need to select the menu and choose the option “share
scree or audio”. Now you’ll have another interface in which you have to select
your Chromecast, which is the device where you want to send your content. Once
you have done this, you’ll be able to see the screen of your phone or computer
on your TV. It is a little more complicated but if you have a Chromecast and
can do it, you shouldn’t need to buy any of the other devices.
