OMAIC 1385ABAK Backlit Infrared Replacement Remote for Samsung TVs

For Samsung TV owners looking for a straightforward replacement, the OMAIC 1385ABAK offers infrared control without a pairing or programming step. Its soft-glow, backlit buttons are designed to make the controls easier to see during evening viewing.

Insert two AAA batteries and point the remote toward the TV to use it. The remote is designed for one television and has 17 buttons.

Need the controls to be easier to find when the room is dark? The gentle button illumination is the standout feature here, paired with a familiar button-operated layout.

What to know

This remote is made for compatible Samsung TVs and uses infrared connectivity. The listed compatible models include sets in series such as QN90D, Q80D, CU8000, and TU7000, along with many others. Samsung TV remote references listed for compatibility include BN59-01385A and BN59-01455A. Match your TV model or existing remote reference against the compatibility list before choosing a replacement.

For everyday use, infrared control keeps the setup simple: insert two AAA batteries and use the remote without pairing. The batteries are sold separately. Its backlit buttons provide a soft glow for navigating controls in a dim room, while the lightweight design and 6.34-by-1.42-by-0.57-inch dimensions give it a compact handheld form. OMAIC also lists a one-year warranty.

Buyer feedback often highlights easy setup and use as well as the remote’s role as a replacement. Experiences with compatibility are mixed, and some buyers raise concerns about button functionality. These observations are useful context, while checking the specific TV model remains the practical way to assess fit.

Everyday use

The soft illumination is aimed at a common viewing situation: adjusting the TV from the couch when the room lights are low. Rather than relying on room lighting to find the controls, you can use the glowing buttons to locate the remote’s controls more easily. Infrared operation suits a direct, TV-focused replacement, this is a one-device remote, not a universal controller for several devices.

Compared with a basic replacement remote that has unlit buttons, this model puts nighttime visibility first. That can make sense for a living room or bedroom where viewers prefer to keep the lights down while watching. Its button control also offers a familiar alternative to using a phone app for routine TV commands.

Who it’s for

Choose the OMAIC 1385ABAK when you need a replacement for a Samsung TV listed as compatible and want illuminated buttons for low-light viewing. It is also suited to households that prefer a dedicated physical remote and a setup that does not require pairing. Check the exact TV model or remote reference against the compatibility details, then keep two AAA batteries on hand for use.

Buying verdict

The key reason to choose this remote is its combination of Samsung TV compatibility, infrared operation without pairing, and soft-glow backlit buttons. For a compatible set used in a dim room, it provides a simple, dedicated way to control the TV, with a one-year warranty as an added purchase detail.
