Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Samsung Smart TV Backlit Buttons Universal Remote Control by Daniel Ton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I want this to come with my TV

I bought this to replace the remote control that came with my 3 year old Samsung Smart TV. This remote had a water accident which actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I now have these. I soon needed a replacement as I don't have a cable or satellite TV and the little knob on the back of the TV is a hassle to navigate. My old remote was small and had a touchpad that required too many steps to complete. the same as this new one button remote control. I think they tried too hard to reinvent the wheel because it was unnecessarily difficult to use and lacked buttons to make navigation easier. Replacing this model now costs $65 and up! That's outrageous for a remote control. This prompted me to look for alternatives which led me to this one and I'm very glad it happened. I read in the description that it works out of the box with the latest Samsung Smart TVs without the need for TV pairing. I was skeptical to say the least having had bad experiences with a replacement and universal remote. The cheap price and positive reviews here made it a good game, so I went with it. It didn't come in a box, it came in a plastic bag, but it's brand new, which is the most important thing. There were no instructions, but since it works without pairing it with a TV, they aren't needed. It has all the buttons you need to access all functions and menus. I also really like the backlit version. This is something that many remote controls today are sorely lacking. Overall this remote is superior to my old one and if I had known it was available I would have bought it when I bought the TV. It's simpler and better in every way and really works as written. Imagine. Highly recommended.
