Amazon Prime on the computer: an alternative to smart TV
You can also use Amazon's video portal in your browser. So you don't need a smart TV to stream your films and series. And if you still want to use the large TV screen, you can also connect your PC or laptop to the TV.
- You need a suitable cable to bring your content from the computer to the television. If you use an HDMI cable, the TV will also play the sound. This is not the case with a VGA cable.
