Product description
If you have misplaced your LG TV remote, or the buttons have started to feel unresponsive, a replacement infrared controller can quickly bring everyday viewing back to normal. This Replacement for LG TV Remote Control is a universal IR remote designed to work with compatible LG Smart TVs, so you can keep using your TV without extra setup. It is ready to use straight out of the box, using two AA batteries, and it supports core navigation and controls for day to day viewing.
A key point to understand is that this is an infrared remote, not a voice or pointer remote. That means you will use standard IR control from the front of the TV rather than voice commands or a pointer overlay. If that matches how you normally interact with your screen, this remote is a practical, no fuss swap for an older controller. 🔧
The essentials
This remote replacement is designed to be compatible with a wide range of LG Smart TV models, including OLED, QNED, NanoCell and UHD line ups mentioned by the manufacturer. It focuses on straightforward control via infrared, so it is the right replacement if your current remote simply needs to be replaced. There is no pairing process described, and it is intended to work immediately.
Because it is universal within the listed LG model range, it is useful when you are restoring a TV you bought second hand, or when you want a spare remote in the living room. You can also keep it near the sofa, especially if multiple people share the same TV. 😊 The ready to use approach helps you get back to switching channels and navigating menus without spending time on extra steps.
Please note that batteries are not included, and instructions are also not included according to the product information. You will need 2 x AA batteries to get it working. If you already have AA batteries at home, that is typically the only thing you need before testing control.
Key features
The replacement remote is an infrared TV controller. It is not a voice remote and it does not include a pointer function, so it will not provide those features on supported TV models. If your existing setup relies on standard remote pointing and button presses, this should feel familiar.
Compatibility is the main strength here. The listing states it is compatible with all LG Smart TV UHD OLED EVO QHD QNED NanoCell 4K 8K, with an accompanying list of model codes. Those model codes cover multiple screen sizes and series, from models like OLED77M49LA and OLED65B42LA to QNED and NanoCell variants such as 75NANO82T6B and 65UT73006LA mentioned in the product details. 📺
It is designed to be easy to use. The manufacturer describes no setup required, with the remote working right out of the box once installed with batteries. That makes it well suited for everyday use, including navigating menus, changing channels, adjusting settings and returning to viewing modes.
Worth considering, if you want a straightforward replacement rather than a feature rich controller. In particular, if you are expecting voice control or pointer features, you may want to skip this remote because this version is infrared only.

What it suits day to day
It’s a good fit if your main goal is a reliable LG TV remote replacement that you can use immediately for standard button based control. It suits households where you want to replace a lost remote, or you need a spare remote for another room or for guests. It also makes sense if you are comfortable using infrared control from the TV rather than voice or pointer features.
It might not be a great match if you specifically rely on voice commands or pointer navigation. Since this is infrared only, the interaction style will be more traditional, with you aiming the remote at the TV during use. If you want those features, you would need a different type of remote.
To check compatibility, compare your LG TV model code against the compatible models listed, including examples such as OLED77C45LA, OLED65C45LA, 55QNED80T6A, 75NANO81T6A and 65UT73006LA. Using the model code is the most dependable way to confirm this replacement will work with your TV.
