Samsung also announced its UHD TVs can play Amazon’s new 4K streaming service when it launches worldwide in October. Amazon plans to stream its new TV series in 4K as well as other content. An Amazon spokesperson stated in an email to HD Guru, further details regarding its 4K streaming content partners will be forthcoming next month prior to activation.
To date, no other TV manufacturer has confirmed the ability to stream Amazon 4K, however we expect other UHD 4K name brands that offer HEVC decoding to climb on board shortly after launch.
