LG AN-MR18BA, Remote Control, Black

Excellent remote, paired to the tv effortlessly. Perfect 👌

after recently buying a new LG TV that came with the basic remote control I was in 2 minds as to whether it was worth paying out for the upgraded magic remote, in the end after reading reviews I gave in and Im glad I did, it worked well straight out of the box, all I had to do to begin with was to register it with the TV and away it went no problems, easy to use good voice recognition so much quicker using this remote compared with the basic remote so I would recommend this product with no hesitation its worth the extra money.

This remote turns a smart tv into a really smart tv. My tv is now much more initiative. Voice search works well and most apps use the pointer great. Shame the BBC iplayer doesn’t fully utilise it yet but that’s a small gripe.

Bought this to go with my new LG 43" 4K TV (a UK6400). On the whole I'm very pleased with it. Here are my thoughts so far - GOOD Really easy to set up - it found the TV straight away after putting batteries in. Very easy to use. You navigate with it in one of three ways: by using the directional cursors (like a normal remote), using voice control (which is kind of cool, though I don't use it much to be honest), or by pointing the remote at the screen for a 'cursor' (much as you would use a Wii controller). The cursor is by far the easiest option IMO. You also got the scroll-wheel, which is useful for scrolling down channel lists etc. One really good feature of this is its abilities as a 'Universal Remote'. I've never used one of those before, but it's very useful. I have found that I can use it to control my PS3 (for menu navigation, playing films etc.) and also my Amazon FireStick. Both are connected to the TV with HDMI & the LG remote controls these automatically when on that input without having to do any additional set-up. (This was especially useful for me as my FireStick remote broke only days after buying this - result.) I think the remote communicates via the TV HDMI link rather than with the other system directly, but I'm not sure. You can also use it to control other devices connected to your system, like AV, DVD players etc. To do that you need to select your manufacturer from a list & set it up via the menu to get it to send the right IR signal. NOT SO GOOD A few minor negatives. The instructions included are pretty much nonexistent - it's mostly easy to figure out yourself, though there is a degree of 'I wonder what this button does?' random pressing. It is quite expensive at ~£50. I managed to get one second hand for £20 which is great, but don't think I'd personally have paid £50. Also note that the 'Universal' remote isn't truly universal - I have an amplifier connected to the TV via optical cable and can't use this remote control for the amp because my manufacturer (Tangent) isn't listed. Be aware that (on my model at least) the 'play' and 'pause' buttons shown are actually buttons labelled 'TEXT' & 'T.OPT' (which I'm not 100% sure what they do to be honest). The new ones from Amazon may have play/pause - don't know. It also doesn't have an 'info' button like the normal remote - that is a minor annoyance as I quite liked seeing when Netflix was streaming in 4K by pressing it, but I can live without it. So, it is a good remote. Perhaps a little expensive and I found the voice control a bit gimmicky, but maybe that's just me. Not perfect, but certainly an improvement over the supplied remote.

Great

The should be included as standard considering the price of their TVs but alas... anyway, throw out that cheap £5 on the market remote they supply you with, yes it really is that awful BUT this remote, its a wonder and its a Universal Remote that will control most things you connect to your TV, hell I can even navigate my Playstation with it as well as my Sky Box and its THE BEST air mouse remote I have ever used bar none, just wiggle it n up comes the mouse, simples. Just make sure your TV is listed and then just buy, ya won't regret it.

If you use Amazon Prime, Netflix and/or the internet on your TV then you will need this. Works great as a mouse and remote for browsing as I use Youtube a lot. Not cheap, but makes life a lot easier!

It took ages to come. Then it didn't work. I returned it using the Amazon return facility (costing me £12.05 in tracked postage back to Germany) and then they refused to accept it! Rotten product, rotten supplier, and rotten returns process. I will now be pursuing the matter with Amazon

Werkt perfect echt een aanrader

Mi experiencia ha sido muy satisfactoria. Cuando compré el SmartTV de LG empecé a usarlo con el mando a distancia que viene de fabrica y la experiencia fue bastante aceptable. Más adelante empecé a usar la APP oficial de LG para el smartphone y la experiencia mejoró notablemente ya que podía usar el puntero para acceder a las funciones del televisor de una forma más práctica y sencilla aunque la sensibilidad con la que se movía el cursor por la pantalla dejaba mucho que desear. Al poco tiempo leí un artículo sobre el LG Magic Control, me decidí a probarlo y estaba agotado, literalmente, en toda España. Por fín lo he podido conseguir en Amazon y realmente, cuando lo usas, se convierte en algo INDISPENSABLE para el uso del SmartTV. La instalación es muy sencilla. Hay que vincularlo con el televisor. Se hace apuntando al televisor (obviamente, con éste encendido) y pulsando el botón OK (pulsación central sobre la rueda de desplazamiento). Este modelo es para televisores a partir del año 2018. La velocidad del puntero es muy fluida y precisa, nada que ver con la experiencia con la APP. Puedes controlar todas las funciones del televisor de una forma mucho más interactiva y eficaz. Al principio, la sensación es un poco confusa porque tiendes a apuntar a la parte de la pantalla donde quieres mover el puntero, pero más tarde te das cuenta de que el puntero se adapta al movimiento del mando sin que tengas que apuntar a ningún sitio en concreto y enseguida te haces con el control. Además, no se cómo lo harán, pero mediante el menú de configuración del televisor, puedes configurar el mando para que funcione con cualquier dispositivo que tengas conectado al mismo. Yo lo he configurado para que funcione con el TiVo de ONO y funciona a la perfección. Cuando, en el televisor seleccionas la entrada del TiVo, el Magic Control automáticamente "deja de responder" a las funciones del televisor para responder a las del decodificador. Los comandos de voz están muy bien conseguidos. Puedes decirle comandos como "ver telecinco", "sube el volumen" o incluso puedes decirle el nombre de un programa y el mando hace que el televisor te lo busque, tanto si se está emitiendo en ese momento, como si se va a emitir en las próximas horas. También puedes decirle comandos de búsqueda en internet como "restaurantes en Córdoba" y el mando hace que el televisor abra el explorador web proporcionándote una lista de resultados. Por rizar el rizo, su tacto es bastante agradable y su peso es muy reducido, características que aportan una comodidad extra en su uso habitual. Además, enseguida te haces a la distribución de las teclas y pronto empiezas a utilizarlo casi sin mirarlo, lo que es bastante cómodo para ver la tele en la cama a oscuras. En general, estoy muy satisfecho con la compra.

Produkt wie beschrieben und das Koppeln mit dem Tv ging schnell und einfach . Auch die Lieferung ging schnell . Vielen Dank xD .

Conforme à l'originale pour LG TV LCD 51A59 POUCES OLED55B8

Bought this after my coffee spilled on my original remote and stopped working. My fault. When buying an OEM product, you know that the quality is backed by the manufacturer Easy to pair with my tv 📺…..so happy this product was made available on Amazon. Thank YOU !
