The best 4K movies and TV shows on Amazon Prime

Did you know that, with your Amazon Prime subscription, you have access to dozens of 4K movies and shows?

HD is now the standard for TV, film, and most videos streaming online, but some people have already jumped over to 4K—a resolution four times higher than 1080p, the standard for HD. The resolution is approximately 4,000 pixels horizontally, hence the name. While mainstream television has yet to focus significantly on it, 4K resolution is gaining traction on streaming sites like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

4K isn’t something everyone can boot up instantly, though. For one, you need to purchase a 4K Ultra HD TV and set it up properly before you can start to watch 4K quality TV—your internet browser won’t cut it. Once you’ve got that covered, you’ll need an internet connection speed that’s at least 25 megabits per second to enjoy 4K content.

How do you start streaming 4K content on Amazon? Visit the 4K Store on Amazon.com and then click on “4K on Prime Video” to see all of their 4K offerings and shop their various 4K products.

But first, take a look at our list of what titles are available to stream in 4K on Amazon Prime right now. Note that Amazon sometimes switches out titles and they have dozen more titles to rent or buy at an additional cost on top of your Prime subscription.
