Review on BN59 01179A Control UN55HU6840 UN55HU6840F UN55HU6840FXZA by James Small

This is a remote control that works with Samsung TVs; most likely NO Samsung remote. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY THIS REMOTE, GO TO THE WHY 2 STAR SECTION just after the Consumer Electronics Pro Tip BEFORE YOU BUY THIS REMOTE. What is the difference between remote controls? Here is an introduction to the world of consumer electronics. As a rule, most companies do not make their own remote controls, there are several large manufacturers that make almost all remote controls. High end specialist remote companies like RTI/Remote Technologies Inc and others like them may or may not do the actual manufacturing in house and that's fine. I like the quality of Made in USA products. Remotes like RTI and other more specialized remote control companies are also LONG AWAY from the $10 I paid for this remote but can control anything that uses the remote that is connected to WIFI, from your home theater to your home lights and your Coffee machine. , thermostat and things you never thought of in a very clever way to make your home look amazing! These products need to be programmed by someone trained to program the brand's products, so an integrator will need to configure them for you. Most companies design, test, test, and test how a new remote works, feels, looks, and more. . Only when they're sure it's exactly what they want are they more likely to go to a reputable manufacturer who will make it exclusively for them and to their strict specifications. A company like Samsung or RTI owns the molds and no one is allowed to use them except for their own purposes because molds are very expensive even for a small tiny remote control, also molds have a limited lifespan that can be used x times all plastic parts before they break or tear. Some companies stopped making products because the mold broke. Forms can easily be calculated in six digits in US dollars. Also, it makes financial sense to set up a site in, say, one of Samsung's factories to make low-cost remote controls when that area can produce much more profitable products, so they're sending the data. about what the remote control should be, to another manufacturer; mostly to offshore factories to make them and most of these factories respect the manufacturers ownership of these molds and they are strictly controlled. Some countries ignore US patents and copyrights, and others do just about everything. You have enough loopholes to get away. When things get too hot to continue, their solution is that they simply go out of business and reopen under a different name and continue to ship to the US through a different port. It's also not uncommon for molds to be used at night when no one is looking, or even add another factor to walking around. This is very common with some Asian manufacturers - certainly not all, but it is common. , molds are made from individual parts, and sometimes a brand name is put on the product - which is the worst case scenario: the consumer buys the product before XXX if it is counterfeit, usually with inferior inner workings. Because the logo is copyrighted and has a patent pending or pending, it's a criminal offense in the US, but some countries ignore or simply don't enforce laws against it. "got stuck" on the remotes that Samsung ordered but didn't buy from them but sold perfectly legally and cheaply, maybe at cost just to make themselves worthwhile. Samsung is an £800 gorilla at the moment, so they might easily get out of control by terminating the contract because if you want to do business with them again you will suffer financial losses and liquidate everything you can from the product launch Why it matters for this remote control: My Samsung brand remote control is simply better than these for the following reasons: NegaMegaLine: I want to be very clear that I have no information as to where this product was manufactured or under what circumstances it was sold and I am not accusing this company or anyone else of anything false or illegal I was just explaining things that usually happen in the consumer electronics field is this remote at the time of publication for a TV that is over 5 years old and may be discontinued, also known as a sale. Given the poor fit and finish, I don't think that's the case, but these features add additional options to inexpensive remotes and other products. In consumer electronics, the RRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) is around five times the production costs. A product detail that costs $5 adds about $25 to the MSRP. A company counterfeiting a product can take a list of parts and see what cheaper parts can be substituted on it, but it may be a part whose performance, tolerance in this example, may not be as close to specification. Electronic components have a tolerance rating that explains how accurate they are. So, for example, if a resistor is a component that reduces the current flowing through it, a 1000 ohm resistor might be required. They are available with a tolerance of 0.01%. For example, it does not deviate from its function by more than 0.01%. A part with a 5% tolerance may only be 95% accurate and won't reduce the power consumption of the next component, but will be much cheaper. High tolerance parts such as B. A resistor specified by the manufacturer as 0.001% is more expensive than a resistor with a tolerance of 0.1% or 1.0%; The higher the tolerance number, the less accurate the part and the worse the performance of an individual component can be. Use of low tolerance parts (for large quantities); Thinning down to lower tolerance parts usually results in a product that doesn't perform as well but should be a lot cheaper. That one resistor affects every component in the circuit. If the remote control consists of 100 parts and is made of inferior parts, it will easily have lower performance and reliability. and one will be much cheaper. If it seems good to be true, it usually is. You can save money by purchasing a discontinued model; Last year's model and if it's a top brand you might not have the most updated features but you have something that works well at a bargain price. Not only are you getting a discontinued product you are getting what you are paying for and the normally cheap brands most likely will not work as well or last as long. If so, buy another inexpensive product to replace it; Spend more than even committing to a quality brand! As the world goes through historic times, everyone saves a dime. In this situation, it's best to choose an entry-level model from a better brand than even a mid-range model from a lesser-known brand. A smaller brand will lure you in with features but not performance. With higher end electronics brands, quality usually trickles down as they are typically purchased in the thousands or tens of thousands and are commonly used in models of all tiers. The manufacturer tries to keep the parts count to a minimum, and you can benefit from this strategy. It might cost you some features but should last a lot longer and improve performance. WHY 2 STARS This Samsung TV remote control does what it's supposed to do. How well he does it is another story. I'm deducting a star for every issue with this remote. Basically I have three problems with it. 1) To use it, you really have to press each key fairly hard, which often causes me to have to press extra times because the first attempt to press the key wasn't hard enough. It's frustrating. 2) The IR LED, the infrared component that emits commands when a key is pressed, is either very dim or of poor quality. I have to point the remote more directly at the TV than any other remote I have. It's hyper-directional.3) The edges of the remote control are very sharp. I'm afraid that if someone pulls the remote control out of my hand while I'm holding it tightly, the skin on either side of the remote control or both sides might tear and cut my hand. So if you're looking for a cheap remote control, with the caveats above, this one will actually get the job done. Thank you for your patience - I hope this helps!
