TCNOUMT Replacement AKB75855501 Remote for LG Smart TV (AN-MR20GA / AN-MR19BA) – No Voice or Pointer
Product description
What this is
This TCNOUMT replacement is designed to stand in for an LG remote model AKB75855501, suitable for a range of Smart LCD/LED TVs. It mirrors the basic control layout with the same essential buttons, but note it lacks the pointer and voice functions. It’s aimed at users who need a working spare or replacement without paying premium on an original.
Who it’s for
If your current remote is damaged, lost, or you simply want a cheaper backup that doesn’t require programming, this replacement could fit. It’s particularly relevant for LG TV owners who recognise the specific button layout and symbol set on the replacement matches their existing remote model. If you rely heavily on voice control or the pointer feature, this unit may not meet those needs.
What to know before you buy
This is a no-programming, plug-and-play option that runs on 2 AA batteries (not included). There is no mouse pointer and no voice function, though there are voice buttons present on the shell without operative speech. Before purchasing, compare the button symbols with your original remote to ensure an exact match, as a mismatch could limit functionality.
How it performs in practice
On paper, setup is straightforward: insert two AA batteries and use the remote with your LG TV. The feel and response should be similar to a standard off-brand replacement in everyday use—important controls work reliably, but you won’t gain advanced features that some premium remotes offer. For casual viewing, switching inputs, adjusting volume or accessing basic menus, it should do the job without fuss. If you’re accustomed to extra conveniences like pointing or voice search, you may notice the absence.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Simple, affordable backup, no programming required, compatible with a wide TV range according to the listing, easy to swap if you already know your model match.
- Cons: No pointer or voice functionality, battery dependency means you’ll need replacement batteries at some point, depends on correct symbol matching for full compatibility.
How to decide if it’s right for you
Worth considering if you just need a straightforward replacement that works with your LG Smart TV and you don’t rely on pointer or voice features. It suits light daily use and as a spare, but it may not be ideal if you want enhanced navigation or smart features from the original remote.
What to check before buying
- Confirm the remote’s button symbols match your original exactly. A mismatch can affect usability.
- Check that your TV model falls within the listed compatible range and that you don’t require pointer/voice functions.
- Remember this uses 2 AA batteries (not included), so factor in ongoing battery cost and replacement timing.
Comparison in context
Compared with more feature-rich remotes or official replacements, this TCNOUMT unit is a pragmatic choice for value-focused buyers who prioritise basic control and compatibility over advanced features. If you value extra navigation aids or integrated smart controls, you might look at alternatives with those capabilities.
Should you buy it?
Should you buy it? You’ll like it if you need a pragmatic, plug‑and‑play spare for a compatible LG TV and don’t require pointer or voice features. It may not be the best fit if you rely on those missing capabilities or want a premium remote with broader smart control.
