UHD content on Prime

Is there a reliable method to find and play UHD/4k content on Amazon Prime?, apologies if this has been covered already, I seem to get a sub-genre of 4k stuff *sometimes* then like now its not there. Using app on LG OLED.

I find it easier to search on my pc then add what I want to my watchlist.

App for me seems to have finally merged the options, I used to do the above and find it on the PC and add to watchlist.

Cheers guys , wonder why this is so difficult? , Surely given their resources & ability to present esoteric sub genres etc they could do this trivially.

If its harder to find its less resources for them, saying that they must use AWS.

But you would think it would be something to promote?

Yet here we are discussing workarounds etc, surely it should automatically play 4k if it exists & ure kit is compatible.

Suppose it's less strain on their networks if you can't find the higher bandwidth stuff.

isn't it just like sky, or netflix, they intentianally obfuscate the quantity, or lack of, 4k hdr material;
tidal don't make it easy to find higher resolution(master) music either.

It definitely seems that way , but why, is it really to conserve resources yet tout themselves as purveyors of 4k-ness , it's annoying when we pay for Prime, they surely could provide a better 4k selection experience. It's difficult not to assume it's intentional.
