TV Remote Control CT-90327 for Universal Remote Replacement (CT90307/CT90287/CT90273/CT90274)
Product description
What it is and why you’d buy it
The TV Remote Control CT-90327 is designed as a straightforward replacement for a set of “universal” smart TV remote models listed in the product details: CT90307, CT90287, CT90273 and CT90274. In other words, it’s aimed at that very normal problem—your existing remote goes missing, stops responding, or you just want a direct swap rather than messing around.
On paper, it focuses on everyday usability: simple navigation keys for menus, direct channel access for digital TV, and a transmission range of over 10 metres with stable performance. It’s not trying to be flashy or feature-packed, it’s more about being dependable when you need the basics to work again.
That said, a small limitation you should keep in mind is that compatibility is only claimed for those specific applicable models. If your current remote isn’t one of the listed types (or you’re not sure which model you have), you may want to double-check before ordering.
Key features you’ll actually use
This remote is built around direct control rather than apps or pairing steps. You should expect a familiar TV remote feel, with menu navigation keys and direct access for digital channels.
It also includes the comfort details you’d hope for in a replacement: a simple, small and compact design that’s easy to grip. The idea is that you can pick it up one-handed, reach the buttons without fiddling, and get back to watching.
A practical example: imagine you’re halfway through a weekday news programme and your original remote won’t change channels reliably. With this CT-90327, the intended setup path is simply inserting batteries and using it straight away—no programming or set up mentioned.
What to know about setup and battery use
The setup experience is one of the more compelling points here: the remote requires 2 AAA batteries, and the batteries are not included. The description also states there’s no programming or set up required—just install the batteries and start using it.
That’s convenient, but it also means you’ll want to have a couple of fresh AAA cells to hand. If your household batteries are low, you might find the first attempt frustrating, not because the remote is faulty, but because the power isn’t quite there.
Also, the transmission distance is described as over 10 metres. In real living-room layouts (solid walls, unusual furniture placement), range can vary, but the stated target is at least positioned for typical UK home use.
Where it shines (and where it may fall short)
This remote makes most sense if you want a quick replacement that gets you back to channel surfing and menu navigation with minimal hassle.
It may not be the best fit if you’re hoping for anything beyond basic TV control, or if your current remote includes features that aren’t mentioned in the available details. The information provided points to standard navigation and direct channel access, it doesn’t describe advanced smart-TV functions or extra capabilities.
If you’re prioritising “install and go” convenience and reliable everyday controls, it’s clearly aimed in that direction. If you need a remote with very specific features beyond what’s listed, you may want to look more closely at whether those functions are covered.
Compatibility and requirements
The product details state it can fit smart TVs with the following applicable remote model numbers: CT90307, CT90287, CT90273, and CT90274. That’s the core compatibility claim you should rely on.
It also requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Beyond that, no further setup requirements are mentioned.
If you’re unsure whether your TV’s current remote matches one of the listed types, consider checking the model number printed on your existing remote (or the packaging documentation) before buying. Remote model numbers often matter more than people expect.

Here’s the down-to-earth take based on what’s actually stated.
Pros - No programming or set up required, batteries in and you’re ready - Direct channel access for digital TV - Menu navigation keys for day-to-day use - Compact, easy-to-grip design - Stated transmission distance over 10 metres
Cons - Batteries aren’t included (so you’ll need 2 x AAA) - Compatibility is only described for specific listed remote models - The details provided don’t mention advanced smart-TV features, so it may feel basic if you need more than standard control
Before ordering, it’s worth checking: - Your current remote model number (to see if it matches one of CT90307/CT90287/CT90273/CT90274) - That you can supply 2 AAA batteries quickly - Whether you simply want reliable channel and menu control, rather than extra functions not listed
Should you buy it?
It’s a good fit if you’ve got one of the listed compatible remote models (CT90307, CT90287, CT90273, CT90274) and you want an uncomplicated replacement that works on installation, with direct channel access and navigation.
You may want to skip it if your remote model isn’t among those listed, or if you’re expecting advanced smart functions that aren’t described here. In that case, it could end up being more hassle than it should be.
For most households, though, this is the type of replacement remote you buy to get back to normal viewing fast—no pairing drama, just practical control.
