Part 1. Requirements for Watching Amazon Prime Video in 4K

There are a few requirements you need to meet to watch Amazon Prime Video in 4K:

You must have an Amazon Prime membership or a Prime Video subscription.
A compatible device is essential, such as an Ultra HD smart TV from 2015 or later. If you’re using a streaming stick or set-top box, it must also support 4K playback.
Due to copyright protections like HDCP 2.2 and DRM, computers cannot stream Amazon Prime Video in 4K resolution (2160p) and are limited to HD. However, later in this article, we’ll explain how to enhance video quality to 4K.
A stable internet connection with speeds of at least 15 Mbps is required. Slower connections won’t allow you to stream 4K content, even with the right hardware.

Part 2. How to Locate 4K Content on Amazon Prime Video

Here’s how to easily find 4K movies and shows on Amazon Prime Video, whether you’re using a TV, mobile device, or computer. You can browse 4K content through the Prime Video app or website. Look for labels like “HDR” or “UHD” on rental or purchased videos. Some titles may not clearly indicate 4K, but the methods below can help:

Method 1: Using the Prime Video App

Search for 4K content directly in the app. Keep in mind:

Labels like “Ultra HD,” “4K,” or “4K UHD” all indicate 4K resolution.
“UHD” is usually for rental or purchased videos, while free content included with Prime is labeled “4K Ultra HD” or “4K HDR.”
On 4K-compatible devices, look for rows labeled with 4K options.

Method 2: Using a Web Browser

On a computer, the Prime Video website has a “4K category” for all 4K titles. If it’s not visible, you can filter your search results:

Step 1. Log in to the Prime Video website.

Step 2. Search for any title using the search bar.

Step 3. Use the filter menu on the left to select “4K Ultra High Definition [4K UHD]” under “Video Definition.”

Part 3. How to Download Amazon Prime Videos in 4K
