GE Big Button Universal Remote Control for Samsung, Vizio, Lg, Sony, Sharp, Roku, Apple TV, TCL, Panasonic, Smart TVs, Streaming Players, Blu-Ray, DVD, 2-Device, Silver, 33701

This remote came with a LOT of supported devices and how to program the remote for the various devices, but I thought - TRY IT and VOILA straight out of the packaging, once I had added my own 2 AA batteries, the remote worked instantaneously with my TVs! EASY PEASY! Now I have two of these remotes. I have two TVs, a Samsung 2023 and a Samsung 2024.The remote is very lightweight, in fact adding the batteries almost doubles the weight, it is that light. The buttons are raised nicely, so I might even let my weak, essential tremor in arm/hand mom use this, since she has killed some buttons in our other, older remotes (which is why I needed some replacements). These buttons do not light up, so the remote's 2 AA batteries should last a long time. I love that it uses normal batteries, as when it runs out it is nice to have compatible batteries on hand. If you have the factory provided remote that is supplied by Samsung, which is an evil to use device, this remote does lack some of those custom other buttons, but those aren't things we/I regularly use anyhow. It is nice that something works just as expected! Simple is wonderful! I love this!!In case Amazon mixes my remote with other remote reviews (which seems to be going on...), this is my remote's description:GE Big Button Universal Remote Control for Samsung, Vizio, Lg, Sony, Sharp, Roku, Apple TV, TCL, Panasonic, Smart TVs, Streaming Players, Blu-Ray, DVD, 2-Device, Silver, 33701I hope my review helps someone else.

I have a Samsung TV and Spectrum cable box. This remote worked right out of the box, without any need for programming. Love that it has just the basic buttons. Got this for my elderly father who is confused by the standard remote that has about 50 buttons on it. Quality seems sturdy too. Great remote!

I bought this remote to control my new LG because the OEM remote buttons are too close together. I could not move from one app to another on my TV because this remote did not have buttons to move left or right. It did program easily and work as far as volume, channel, and input control. On another positive, I was given return credit and I didn't have to return it.

We have had multiple universal remotes. Some by the most reputable manufacturers that have cost 50 to 80 dollars over the years. Those have had their problems and often times don’t last as long as I wish (Durability wise). At less than 10 dollars it was time to give this a try.First thing I noticed was how it looks. I personally like that it is a uniform size. I think it looks better. The silver brushed to looks great. It is just shiny enough. The second thing I noticed was the backlight. Very nice. Bright, but not too bright. Some of the edge buttons are a little less lit. Not bad, you just might have to look a little closer perhaps in dark lighting. I didn’t need to, but it really depends on your eyesight. I also like how the lighting only turns on with the press of a button, and turns off in 10 seconds or less.Setup was super easy. Following the directions was simple to connect a Samsung TV and Blu-ray player, a Bose sound system and a Roku (cannot connect one that uses Bluetooth - must use IR). The provided codes all worked and using the buttons was easy. We have all 4 things connected to this and it is easy to use. I can control all menus for said items.I guess the one thing I wish is that on some of the more expensive remotes you can actually program different controller buttons to different devices without having to use the device buttons at the top (like making the volume always be the sound system and not the TV when other buttons control the TV or Roku). That would be nice, but not expected in a 10 dollar remote.Just a little while ago this could easily have cost more. It is a great value and very easy to use.

It is advertised as working with Apple TV - but there is no way to move left/right/up/down. If all you want to do it watch basic TV, this might work for you. But I can’t imagine how it possible works with any special device where you need to move around on the screen to make selections.

Stuck the batteries in and viola the smart tv works fine. However, trying to connect the Creative labs V2 with code 2606 fails. All the other codes I tried also failed. Some would partially work like activating the Tr (Tremble) or BA (Bass) but, not the simple on/off volume buttons. Ran the auto detection and it flashed 2146. (Have NO idea what this device is and certainly not my sound bar). It's light it kinda works and back light is good. Really trying to cut down on all the remotes. Hate fumbling for them at night shutting everything down. One last con I ABSOLUTELY hate the big bu-tt on this thing. (It's were the batteries go. 2 each AA) your mileage my vary. I didn't get past my mail box. :)

This works with my Samsung TV & Roku box with out any programing. Intuitive buttons make it easy to use. Also being backlite makes it easy to see. I have bought 2 of these and love them.

When batteries exploded in my last remote, I needed a replacement. This one has been working well. It comes with a list of codes to use to set up various devices. I was able to add my television, Blu-ray player, and even an ancient VCR to this remote. The buttons light up, so it is easy to see them even if you are watching TV in the dark.
