How to Watch The Grand Tour in UHD [4K] With Amazon Prime Video TV App
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- When I watched the first episode of The Grand Tour it was in UHD and looked stunning. Since then every episode I've watched ahs been 1080p, which don't get me wrong is still great, but not quite as sharp as the HDR UltraHD episode one.
When I was watching episode 4 last night with the boy I noticed that it was still in 1080p, so I just assumed that only the first episode was in UltraHD. This morning I checked the app and scrolled down. This is where I saw the UltraHD section. If you select episodes from here it is back to its UHD glory!
So what you need to do is, rather than rely on Amazon to automatically give you the UltraHD version, you need to scroll down to the UltraHD section and watch the episode from there.
This is the same for ANY Amazon UHD content!
Obviously you need an UltraHD TV for this to work.

It's so stupid that you can't change the quality yourself
I don't understand why it doesn't do it automatically like youtube etc.
very. and also havnt found a way on windows 10
It is a complete joke - whoever designed that at amazon shouldnt have a job
Thank you for this, Prime's interface is the absolute worse
Wow great find, i was thinking why is it only in 1080p when i have a samsung 4k tv like yourself
It's daft isn't it! I couldn't work out what was going on, then I scrolled down. I don't know why it's not like netflix where it does it automatically. Glad it helped.
My Supercar Life it certainly did
also i just want to add your clay bar and clay mitt video helped me to clean up my car
it's only a fiat punto but it looks amazing now that it's had a rotary polisher
the paint is soo smooth haha
Anyway keep up the good vidoes
Am using Prime on a PS4 Pro with HDCP ON, and outputting to a 4k HDR TV.
The signal from the PS4 Pro to the TV is in 4k. TV says it’s getting 3840x2160 / 60p (60hz) input via HDMI UHD COLOR from the console, but prime says HD 1080p.
UA-cam runs 4k perfectly fine through the PS4 Pro.
This video is 2 years old, so may not work now. I'm not sure if the PS4 app supports UHD or not probably best to have a google and see if the app supports it. If not and you have a smart TV then try the App on there.
Good Deal, kinda silly it just doesn't switch automatically but thanks for this.
I was just trying to figure this it. Thank you!
Yes, a completely ridiculous system to have a separate series for a different resolution. And with the new interface now, this doesn't work because there's no "4k Ultra HD" section to scroll to, and the search doesn't find 99% of the 4K titles.
Amazon's interface is a joke.
Try this:
On the left menu where it says 'Search - Home - Originals - Movies - TV" etc. Choose TV, then scroll down the list and it should be there under 'included with prime 4k ultra hd tv" - Give it a try!
Found. Thanks! I thought they had removed the whole section but they've just made it even harder to find :(
They should have a single title for everything, and then SD/HD/4K versions WITHIN the single title. Like everyone else does.
It would make sense wouldn't it, I don't know why it doesn't just pick the best resolution for the device you have. Glad you found it though!
I have a question regarding finding 4K movies. I was reading an article saying Fury is available in 4K but when I click on movie it only show SD and HD for purchase. Also do Amazon do 4K versions of new films like wonder woman, if so how do you actually find them.
Amazon don't want you to find them - that's why they have split 4K versions into totally separate titles: to make it as cumbersome and unnecessarily awkward as possible. They don't care about having a nice UI or making content easy to find.
Thanks! This is so dumb that it can't just be changed
Thanks mate!
Helped me today ThankS
cheers bro. as mentioned, amazon UI is a joke beyond belief.
This used to work. Now you have to search for the content. But also whatever you searched for shows up twice which one would presumably be 4K but neither of them are 4K now.
I had a look a few days ago, and it's completely changed. I couldn't find the 4k stuff either. If I find it then I'll do an update to this vid as it seems like it's still really vague to find the 4k content. Thanks for letting me know.
I don't have a uhd section and I have 2018 Samsung 4k tv. Searching UHD didn't help either :(
Yeah, they've changed the app now and I can't find a way of getting the UHD content. As soon as I do, I will make an update video.
You’re literally the fucking best! Well done dude! Finally utilising my new one x!
You're welcome mate. No point having a 4K TV and watching in 1080!
lol I feel so stupid 😂 appreciate the video even after a year they still haven’t changed it 👀
Thanks, I don't think they will change it. I have no idea why it's so confusing to access the UHD content!
Can you do this with a amazon student account??
I'm not 100% sure, but if it has UHD access and you have a UHD device I don't see why not.
i verified i can do it thanks! only reason i asked is cause with netflix you have pay for the most expensive streaming package.
Cool thanks for letting me know! Yes, Netflix charge more for UHD - sure Amazon will at some point
For me there is no 4K section under home, but there is under "TV". Amazing that I had to resort to UA-cam and head scratching for half an hour to figure that out. Sort out your UI, Amazon!
I think they've moved it on each section now. I don't understand why they are separate and not automatically selected when you play the vid!
I cannot believe that is how they set it up. Thank you good sir!
Me neither it's 100% dumb
How do you get 4k on PC?
thanks for info
mine does not change to hdr uhd 2160 I spent hours on the phone with samsung and amazon any suggestions my t.v says its compatible
Thank you!
Legend thanks! Couldn't work It!
You're welcome mate! Why it doesn't do it in 4K automatically is beyond me
Works on sony too!
Great! Thanks for letting me know.
Big Thank-You .
You're welcome mate!
Wow that was surprisingly helpful, thanks!
what's the model of your Samsung TV because my 2016 Samsung HDR SUHD says 4k but not HDR
Hi, It's a UE55JS9000 - That's really strange, mine comes up with UltraHD and HDR. Do you have software updates turned on for the TV?
My Supercar Life Hello, yeah it's fully updated to the latest firmwares , I'll email the samsung support team on this issue. Thanks for the reply and good video mate!
Great video mate thank you
No problems, you're welcome.
It appears that amazon prime changed their menu design and also menu options. I do not see the 4k category as an option anymore. Any help?
I'vr just checked and it should be here:
On the left menu where it says 'Search - Home - Originals - Movies - TV" etc. Choose TV, then scroll down the list and it should be there under 'included with prime 4k ultra hd tv" - Give it a try!
My Supercar Life I was attempting to find it on the PS4 pro, which does not have this option on the Amazon video app. I just did the research to find this puzzling news. Nexflix does have the option on their PS4 pro app and it looks incredible. Netflix requires a $6 per month uprgrade to get the 4k
Ahhh right. Yes, Netflix is the same on the TV app, you can't watch 4K unless you pay extra for it. Bit strange that you can't watch Amazon in 4K, but I wonder whether it uses the same app for the PS4 as it does the PS4 Pro, so they haven't included the 4K option.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very help full
Thanks! I spent forever trying digging through settings and everything to do it through my PC and the amazon application on the TV. It's so dumb that they have an entire separate video for 4K instead of making it accessible through the video or the main settings.
do you need a 4k hdr tv? or does it work with a normal 4k tv?
+Endurero as long as you have a 4k tv it will work and play in 4k.
My Supercar Life I don't see the option, it is just an UHD tv, not SUHD. I am in Spain, the app could be different
+Endurero hmmm that's strange I've just checked the app again and it's still there. A uhd tv should still work the same though. The other way you might be able to access it is if you go into one of the section like "Amazon originals and exclusives" then at the top you'll see other categories like 4k ultra hd tv it's in there too
Did not know that!Thanks!
+todd lithgow No probs!
Samwell Tarly!?
Lol, that's what I thought!
its not hdr btw just ultra hd
It is HDR on my TV, which is why in the menu at 1:05 it says HDR and also when I play the episode at 1:30 it says HDR Ultra HD.
So yes, it is HDR, but that depends on whether the app and your TV support it.
well my tv supports hdr and usually when i change the picture setting its says hdr but here it doesn't but on amazon it says hdr
Someone else in the comments has a 2016 Samsung (Didn't say what model) and theirs only said 4K in the Amazon app and not HDR, even though their TV is HDR SUHD.
I don't know if it's a region thing, and whether Amazon only offer HDR in certain areas or why it works that way. My TV is a UE55JS9000 - so it may also be a model thing. Not sure, but mine is 100% in 4K HDR
when i play hitman it comes out in 4k hdr though and i don't even have a ps4 pro its just a ps4
There's nothing stranger than TV's - makes me wonder if some models only support HDR through HDMI inputs and not through apps like UA-cam, Amazon and Netflix. This could be true because the Samsung 9000 series have a separate control box (the One Connect Box) with an 8 core processor in it, and all of the processing hardware, this means that when new technology comes out you only have to replace the box, and not the screen. It's quite clever, apparently.
