Movies and series from Amazon Prime Video in 4k
Amazon streams a good 50 titles in UHD or 4k. But your devices need to have a lot to offer for these high-resolution videos:
- You need a 4k-capable television or a combination of 4k-capable graphics card and monitor. UHD-capable TVs have been available since 2014, for example from LG, Samsung, Sony and VIZIO. We present various UHD TVs in a picture gallery and offer a price and performance comparison for TVs under 55 inches as well as one for 56 inches and more.
- In any case, the entire chain from the receiver to the picture and sound output devices must have an HDMI connection that supports HDCP 2.2.
- The XBox One S is also suitable as a UHD receiver for Amazon Prime Videos.
- In order to receive the streams in full 4k quality, you also need at least a 15 MBit/s internet connection. Netflix and YouTube even recommend 20 Mbps or more.
- Amazon itself suggests the second-generation Amazon Fire TV for 4k streaming. The cheaper Fire TV stick is suitable for HD videos at 1080p, but not for UHD.
- With Amazon, you may have to restart the stream several times to get it to run in 4k quality. This is especially true with 15 Mbps connections.
- All titles are listed in the Ultra HD category, which you can find on the Prime Video homepage.
- These are mainly original versions of some series , such as “Alpha House”, “Bosch”, “Hand of God”, “Mozart in the Jungle”, “Red Oaks” and “Transparent”. However, with greater demand, the content will certainly grow.
- In German you will find in particular Sony Pictures classics such as “Godzilla”, “Und täglich greüßt das Murmeltier”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “The Da Vinci Code – Sakrileg”.
