LG AN-MR18BA Magic Remote Control (2018 Model)

This is a great remote for LG TV's for two reasons. is the onscreen pointer. The pointer makes doing some tasks much easier like navigating web sites on the web browser. But the best feature is the voice control. You can open apps, inputs and settings with this remote. You can also use Google Assistant and Alexa using this remote. Be sure to turn off Audio Guidance in Settings/Accessibility for the TV as neither the pointer nor the voice function will work with it on. This is not a great universal remote. It won't allow me to control my sound bar using the optical output. You have to use the HDMI ARC output. You don't have full control over your cable/satellite box either. You can pause/[lay TV change channel and volume. That's about it. If you want a great universal remote get a Logitech Harmony. However if you want to easily control your TV then this is the remote for you.

This is a great remote - it came with my new LG TV and it is very functional and has some handy shortcuts. It feels a little weird in my hand, at first I kept wanting to hold it upside down, but I got used to it. I think I would like it better if it was more the traditional rectangular shape, but at least I can easily recognize it out of the remote pile. Here is the B U T !!!!!! I bought the remote so both my wife and I would have a remote. The problem is, only one remote can be fully functional at a time! The cool cursor only works on the last remote that was synced. Otherwise, both remotes seem to be fully functional at the same time. As a work around, I plugged a USB wireless mouse receiver into the TV and the mouse will control the cursor at the same time as the remote. My wife likes using the mouse better than the remote, so we are both happy!

The remote that is provided with an out-of-the-box LG TV is horrible, requiring you to upgrade to this remote that SHOULD have been provided. The original remote was all the same size buttons arranged in rows and columns with no tactile reference points. Good luck finding the right button without a brightly lit room. This remote solves that problem. It also eliminates the endless scrolling to get through menus by using a point-and-click cursor, similar to using a mouse on your computer.

This remote really should've been included with the TV. It works great. I purchased it almost two years ago and it still works well. There has been some rubbing off on some of the buttons, as seen in the picture. I would buy it again.

What I wish this remote had was ALL the comparable buttons of the standard LG remote. That it doesn't is disconcerting and inconvenient. Fiddling around, you can figure out how to compensate for the missing buttons. But it's an annoyance. An example is the missing 'Info' button. There's no such thing on the Magic Remote. Instead, you have to activate the remote's cursor, then click on the channel popup to get to information about what's currently showing. However, the added functionality of the Magic Remote is excellent. The voice recognition for Google Assistant works well. The layout of what buttons are provided is logical. The cursor works fine and is nicely adjustable to one's preferences. I definitely prefer it to the standard LG remote and the price was worth it. The oddly missing button functions stop it from being a perfect solution.

Ok

The remote works OK; but if you have comcast, you can do the basic things in replacing that remote, but you still need to use your comcast remote to be able to access On Demand, which is where you save your daily recordings. I did find it worked OK in replacing my Fire TV remote. It says you can use Alexa for a lot of different things, but it will NOT work to turn the TV on, but will work to turn it off. I can turn it on/off much faster by doing so with my wifi plug as I do not have to say that longggg sentence of "Alexa, tell LG TV to..." but rather just "Alexa, turn tv on/off which I can do utilizing my wifi plug. I did find other things worked with voice, like volume and a couple of other things, but really find it just as quick to just use the remote rather than having to say that long request and wait/hope that it works. I'm not sure who thought of the idea to call it a "magic" remote as I do not find anything magical about it.

On a while we purchased this to see what the hub was about, that’s as about 3 years ago. We can’t imagine without it now. We only use one remote, got rid of three as it controls the fire stick, sound bar and tv. No need for anything else. Makes life more simple. The voice activation is nice feature as well as the magic wand ability to use as a mouse and click. Wish they made something similar for Samsung as I have friends who love this and want one for their own use.

Werkt perfect echt een aanrader

Mi experiencia ha sido muy satisfactoria. Cuando compré el SmartTV de LG empecé a usarlo con el mando a distancia que viene de fabrica y la experiencia fue bastante aceptable. Más adelante empecé a usar la APP oficial de LG para el smartphone y la experiencia mejoró notablemente ya que podía usar el puntero para acceder a las funciones del televisor de una forma más práctica y sencilla aunque la sensibilidad con la que se movía el cursor por la pantalla dejaba mucho que desear. Al poco tiempo leí un artículo sobre el LG Magic Control, me decidí a probarlo y estaba agotado, literalmente, en toda España. Por fín lo he podido conseguir en Amazon y realmente, cuando lo usas, se convierte en algo INDISPENSABLE para el uso del SmartTV. La instalación es muy sencilla. Hay que vincularlo con el televisor. Se hace apuntando al televisor (obviamente, con éste encendido) y pulsando el botón OK (pulsación central sobre la rueda de desplazamiento). Este modelo es para televisores a partir del año 2018. La velocidad del puntero es muy fluida y precisa, nada que ver con la experiencia con la APP. Puedes controlar todas las funciones del televisor de una forma mucho más interactiva y eficaz. Al principio, la sensación es un poco confusa porque tiendes a apuntar a la parte de la pantalla donde quieres mover el puntero, pero más tarde te das cuenta de que el puntero se adapta al movimiento del mando sin que tengas que apuntar a ningún sitio en concreto y enseguida te haces con el control. Además, no se cómo lo harán, pero mediante el menú de configuración del televisor, puedes configurar el mando para que funcione con cualquier dispositivo que tengas conectado al mismo. Yo lo he configurado para que funcione con el TiVo de ONO y funciona a la perfección. Cuando, en el televisor seleccionas la entrada del TiVo, el Magic Control automáticamente "deja de responder" a las funciones del televisor para responder a las del decodificador. Los comandos de voz están muy bien conseguidos. Puedes decirle comandos como "ver telecinco", "sube el volumen" o incluso puedes decirle el nombre de un programa y el mando hace que el televisor te lo busque, tanto si se está emitiendo en ese momento, como si se va a emitir en las próximas horas. También puedes decirle comandos de búsqueda en internet como "restaurantes en Córdoba" y el mando hace que el televisor abra el explorador web proporcionándote una lista de resultados. Por rizar el rizo, su tacto es bastante agradable y su peso es muy reducido, características que aportan una comodidad extra en su uso habitual. Además, enseguida te haces a la distribución de las teclas y pronto empiezas a utilizarlo casi sin mirarlo, lo que es bastante cómodo para ver la tele en la cama a oscuras. En general, estoy muy satisfecho con la compra.

Produkt wie beschrieben und das Koppeln mit dem Tv ging schnell und einfach . Auch die Lieferung ging schnell . Vielen Dank xD .
