Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Samsung Smart LED HDTV Remote Control BN59-01179A by Samsung by Meech Elliott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It looks like my original remote, but I suspect it's a fake due to the poor backlighting on the buttons.

Agree with the other person who said that this is not a genuine Samsung product because although the buttons and even the markings are the same, the quality is different. It doesn't glow like the original that came with my TV where each button actually glowed in the dark and this fake only seems to have 3 bulbs so the top, middle and bottom buttons glow brightly and then the light is diffused at one Point where you can see other keys but it's definitely not the same. If Samsung isn't trying to cut costs and redesigning the original, which I doubt it is, then it's not original, and at $19.99 I suspect the $7.99 product is identical to this one. I bought the more expensive one thinking I was getting the right deal and the reviews for the cheaper remote were complaining about the light so I guess I should have just bought the cheaper one thinking I'd get it anyway have.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Power outlet required
