[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I love this remote. I have three LG TV with the Magic Remote and bought the other two, in part, because of this remote. The mouse functionality makes putting in passwords and doing searches SO easy. I took one point off of my rating for the following reasons: 1) Limited function of the color (red, green, yellow, blue) buttons. They are completely underused (useless, actually) and could have been so helpful if they were fully programable. 2) Alexa integration is haphazard and limited. I've never really gotten it to work to my satisfaction. 3) This remote needs a decimal point on the number panel for use with OTA subchannels. 4) The microphone feature does not work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a new LG TV about 6 weeks ago. The TV is a very good set and we are well pleased, the remote however is not good. LG has added too much "Gee Whis" to the unit and is awkward to use. For example there is no"info" button, and they say to use the "guide" button. Wow, now it starts to get complex.

I bought 55" OLED tv with the magic remote. The tv is great. The remote is terrible. It's too intuitive? I want the old fashioned remote where you can easily pause, FF, rewind, etc. Is there an easier, simpler remote compatible for this tv?? Fingers crossed.

My issue is that I need a replacement remote and it's not listed on the LG site parts/accessories store site, and Encompass can't find it either (AN-MR18BA). This model does show on the LG site under TVs/Accessories/remotes, but you can't order it. It directs you to an on-line retailer in Florida (Jetson) who doesn't stock, and would have to order it through Encompass. So I appear to be stuck without a remote for a 2018 TV I've had less than 6 months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This remote makes watching tv more entertaining giving owners to get more out of their tv.

The 8 series 4K UHD and IQ smart remote suck. Don't waste your money or you'll definitely be wasting your time; reprogramming and researching fixes.

DON'T BUY LG TELEVISIONS!!! The remote starting acting up about 9 months after I bought it. It was not mistreated at all and we still cannot figure out what is wrong with it after an exhaustive investigation which included time trouble shooting with LG over the phone. Of course we waited until just days past the 1 year from purchase date to call them and they completely refused any warranty help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can tell this remote was designed by engineers and not users who watch TV via a Cable/Sat box. Magic Remote is a great idea but.... HOW do you not have a dedicated DVR, exit, fast forward and rewind buttons? The most used buttons on a remote. Instead we have a dedicated LIVE ZOOM button which you might use twice in 10 years and 4 colored buttons that do nothing and can't be programmed. Come on LG put some ergonomic thought into the Magic Remote. Did you not get the memo that 80% of shows are now watched on DVR or streaming? In the least there should also be an onscreen app to Program or Reprogram the buttons of the Magic Remote. Terrible thought, engineering and execution went into this product that could be FANTASTIC. On the Plus side navigating thru WEBOS is a breeze with the Magic Remote and works like a PC Mouse. Magic Remote is quick, responsive, just too bad the most common buttons used on a remote were replaced with non functioning buttons.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought LG 55UK6500AUA "AI ThinQ" TV today, but I found there's no Microphone button on Remote control and a regular Remote Control has been included instead of Magic Remote. That is, TV supports Google Assistant but Remote Control doesn't. "Magic Remote sold separately."

I love the pointer which works somewhat like a computer's mouse, this gives you a lot more control when maneuvering through menus than a regular remote. I also love the fact that you can use voice commands, I still believe I haven't fully explored the capabilities of this device
