    Perfect replacement, a lot of buttons.

    I bought an Open Box LG OLED and it came with no remote. I got home and could not set up my TV with out a remote. I went back to the store and the Specialist guided me towards this replacement remote. The price was a little high but I got it anyway. It worked right out the box! I will say this remote has so many unnecessary buttons that it does get a little confusing when trying to change the input or picture settings. Trying to multitask at night with no backlight and 49 buttons becomes a task.

    My remote

    It’s a decent remote. I didn’t even have to set it to my tv. Just put the batteries in and it automatically sets with your LG TV.

Questions & Answers
  • If it doesn't have a pointer/cursor, how do you select settings or smart TV options?

    Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ Replacement Remote for LG TVs (Model: NS-RMTLG21) does not have a pointer or cursor like LG’s Magic Remote.

  • My tv doesn’t have a power button on it. 75 inch LG Big screen How do I get my insignia remote to work on my LG tv?

    Thank you for your inquiry! To get your Insignia™ Replacement Remote (Model: NS-RMTLG17) to work with your 75-inch LG TV, start by installing two AAA batteries into the remote, ensuring the + and - symbols match the battery compartment. Make sure your LG TV is on and not in standby mode. On your Insignia remote, press and hold the red and blue buttons until the POWER button blinks twice. Point the remote towards your TV and press and hold the POWER button until your TV turns off, then release the button immediately. The POWER button should blink twice. Turn on your TV using the remote and test other buttons to ensure they work correctly. If some buttons do not work, repeat the pairing process for those specific buttons. If your LG TV doesn't have a visible power button, you can use alternative methods to turn it on, such as the LG ThinQ app.
