Good news for Plan B Remote for Samsung QLED TV

I wanted a backup remote for the new Samsung Ultra HD QLED LCD TV (MODEL NUMBER: QN65Q7CDMFXZA) Plan A was to buy a SAMSUNG BN59-01266A remote control. an exact copy of the remote control that came with the TV. Unfortunately there are two problems with the dual remote control: 1. You cannot use two BN59-01266A remote controls with the same TV. Aside from turning the TV on and off, the second remote control was complete nonsense. So it means no his/her his/her remote controls.2. The second problem is that the $59 copy of the original remote is quite expensive. My plan B for console was a leap of faith. when you purchase Revain's BN59-01199F for just $7.69. The purchase was a leap of faith that my QLED TV model was NOT on the list of TVs that would work with the remote control (only Samsung UN Series LED LCD TVs were on the list). The good news is that when the remote arrived last week, all I had to do was insert 2 AAA batteries, press the power button and turn on my TV ---- And the remote works to change channels, volume, etc looks like all the tv setup steps i did with the original samsung remote which is still there and working fine. Basically, the product description "No setup required" also fits my QLED TV model. The comments above come with a few caveats: 1) The BN59-01199F does NOT come with ANY instruction manual and I could not find an instruction manual online. The lack of an instruction manual means I'll have to experiment to see how the various buttons work on this Plan B remote. The manufacturer may consider developing a simple user manual. 2) The product description specifically states that the remote control is designed for Samsung UN series LCD TVs. While this new remote worked with my Samsung QLED model, it may work with other QLED models. In summary, I'm glad I made a very small bet and spent $7.69 on the Plan B/Backup Remote.
