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, 33701 I hope my review helps someone else.

It’s perfect for my grandma and was very easy to program with the guide that was provided with it.

This is a nifty little universal remote that takes just about any modern TV. My only complaints are that programming it is a little convoluted, and the programming directory with the codes is in tiny print. Also, I think it's a little strange that anytime you want to turn on or control the TV or cable, you have to press the TV or CBL buttons first for either device. That seems a little unnecessary. The remote should be able to handle both, turning on/off both devices simultaneously, and have enough logic to know that the volume should be for the TV and channel for the cable/streaming box. That you have to press the device ahead of any function, is a little strange. Still, it gets the job done, and works with just about any TV and cable box I can think of.

excellent control for senior citizens. my mom, step dad and neighbor in his 90's would accidentally mess up their programmable remote by pressing the wrong button. with the last programmable remote, the tv button was next to the power button. when the tv button was held, it messed up everything. with this remote, the option to program it is far away from commonly used buttons. it has been over a year and nobody accidentally messed up this remote. also the very large buttons at the top are perfect. all they need is to change channels and volume.

This is a manually entered code pairing device where you enter a number provided on a list to pair with your device. It paired quickly with both a Samsung and Philips TV, but there it stopped. It was purchased to go with a MediaCom Cable Box which also just has channel numbers that need to be selected but it wouldn't pair with the newly installed box. It will not work with any format such as some streaming services where you need to navigate the screen with arrows. There aren't any on this device. It was purchased to make navigating the Mediacom box easier, but since it wouldn't pair, it couldn't be used. 3 stars

This device HAS NO BACK BUTTON and NO HOME BUTTON!! wtheck?! It worked fine and was easy enough to set up BUT IMPOSSIBLE to use. I had to turn off the TV and turn it back on just to get to the home page! Stupid

I recently purchased this remote control for the express purpose of replacing an LG remote for the television set and a Spectrum remote for the cable box . Rather than wrestling with these two controls, this little GE was programmed in about a minute and a half and takes over almost all of the simple functions of both of the other controls with ease . My 94-year-old Mom loves the thing. There’s nothing more to say. 👍🏼

Good simple TV remote...

Works great with our blue ray

I got this for my elderly father-in-law. He was having trouble with the original remote on his Hisense TV. It has a lot of extraneous buttons for Netflix and YouTube and things that he just doesn't use. He was inadvertently pushing them and then couldn't understand why the TV was doing what he wanted to do. It is simple to get back to the home screen but not for him. This remote is very basic and simple. The buttons are big and easy to press and it doesn't have the extraneous buttons mentioned above. It works very well for him. The problems that he was having with the TV being on the wrong settings just don't occur anymore. He was convinced that the problem was the TV. He wanted to buy a new TV, such was his level of frustration. I was sure a new TV wouldn't have fixed it anyway. This has made an old man very happy.

Compré este control para mi madre que tiene los pulgares bastante gordos, y era muy común que por error le cambiara a Netflix o a Prime en el Magic Remote, lo que la frustraba mucho. Los botones grandes de este control le quedaron perfecto a su pulgar, y le son muy fáciles de leer. El control se siente de muy buena calidad, se configuró sin problema en una LG smart de 32" con la guía incluida. Recomendado también si no ocupas accesar las funciones Smart (que es el caso de mi madre).

J'ai acheté cette télécommande en raison de la télécommande originale fût égaré. Heureusement sur le web j'ai trouver facilement la façon d'effectuer le set-up ( reconnaissance de la marque du téléviseur) Tout fût facile. Celle-ci fonctionne très bien. Et la personne qui l'utilise est heureuse.

Feel I was sort of scammed due to lack of knowledge around technology.
