Customer Ratings & Reviews

We are very happy with our replacement remote. It was very easy to setup and controls nearly everything on our 16 year old Samsung TV. The only drawback is that it is not able to operate the screen size control.

So my teen daughter is a simple girl and we got her an open box Samsung tv for her room. She mainly plays her Nintendo Switch and we would always complain about how bad the original Samsung remote is(laggy). I think the tv is a few years old or is a base model tv. So we decided to try this Bestbuy branded universal remote and man are we happy. You no longer need to pair or find the code to match the tv, it works out of the box which we appreciate greatly. It’s bigger than the original but is nice, lightweight, and fits nicely in the hand. Every button pretty much works perfectly. Even the preprogrammed (Netflix&prime) buttons work. The setting button is better than the original and the buttons are clicky and very responsive. She even has a Samsung soundbar and you can control the soundbar with the remote and it has dedicated buttons for that as well.it is not backlit but it’s an affordable option so i completely get it, but would have been nice lol. Also the batteries are included which makes buying one of these a no brainer wether you lost your old one or you want a faster and better remote than the cheap original old Samsung remotes. Works great and is a reasonable price. Highly recommend. See pics!

Perhaps you’ve lost your Samsung remote. Perhaps you’ve misplaced it. Or maybe, like me, you hate the remote that came with your Samsung TV. If any of those applies to you, this Insignia replacement remote might be just what you’re looking for. I have a Samsung QN85QN90C TV. I love pretty much everything about it except the tiny, easily lost, and cantankerous remote. The only feature it provides uniquely that this replacement doesn’t is voice, which I don’t use and am not interested in. The Insignia remote, for me, did not require any setup apart from installation of the batteries. There are learning modes and a code list, but I didn’t need them. Upon installing the batteries, my QN90C responded perfectly. There are also included codes for the control of a connected soundbar or receiver, but using the volume control on the remote automatically adjusted the volume of the receiver. I assume this is a CEC-control measure over HDMI, so with luck you may find no additional setup necessary, either. The remote is large, but for me, this is a plus. The tiny remote included with the TV easily falls between couch cushions or gets lost under blankets. But for that size, you do get large, easy to read buttons. Across the top you get power, TV, sleep, and a direct input change button, something the standard remote lacked. Underneath that is a full panoply of buttons, starting with a full number pad, whereas the included remote uses them virtually on the screen. The direction pad is of a more conventional design here than Samsung’s, and I think it’s perhaps a little easier to use. It reminds me very much of Sony’s large candy bar style-remotes. While there is a dedicated button for Samsung TV Plus, there are three prominent buttons, labeled A, B, and C, that serve as streaming shortcuts. They default to Netflix, Disney, and Amazon Prime Video, but unlike the standard remote, you can change these to whatever your preferred streaming services are. This ability to configure is a nice upgrade. The other thing I like are the dedicated buttons to go directly to things like settings or the picture modes. I adjust these frequently depending on the content type. Finally at the bottom are standard media controls like play/pause or fast forward/rewind. Obviously, if you need a remote because you broke or lost yours, this is a good choice. But it’s not a bad idea at all if you really don’t like the included one. Since it’s the major way you interact with your TV, it’s not a major cost to upgrade that experience. So if you fall into any of those camps, check this remote out. I’ve very much enjoyed letting it take over the TV control duties.

The Insignia Replacement Remote for Samsung TVs worked right out of the box with our several year old Samsung flatscreen. No fiddling or programming or special codes. We do have a sound bar and that required a code, but it was easy and worked first time. It was really nice having a numeric keypad for channel selection, the original Samsung remote had an on screen process that was never very easy. After a couple of day, I reprogrammed the app buttons for my wife's favorite streaming apps. It was very straightforward, easy, and she's happy. What's not to like? It's not one of these remotes that will control a whole bunch of devices, but you're also not searching for the right button in a sea of buttons. There is no voice input, but it's not really necessary for a simple TV remote. The Insignia Remote for Samsung TVs does the job Oh, and we have (accidentally) drop tested it on a tile floor and it survived just fine. It's nicely laid out, easy to use and program, and highly recommended if you need a replacement remote for your Samsung TV.

This universal remote is a perfect replacement for my 2018 Samsung television. The original remote for my television wore out. The buttons did not work and it would disconnect from my television. It was to expensive to buy the exact replacement. I found this universal remote designed specifically for samsung televisions and decided to give it a try. This remote is good to go from the box. The remote in the box comes with instructions, batteries, and codes. The instructions are easy to follow and the remote is easy to install. The remote has more features than the original remote for my television. All the functions on the remote work as labeled. Although the remote is designed for samsung televisions, the booklet included gives you codes to also connect to sound bars from different brands. Overall, this television remote is a great replacement for Samsung televisions. The remote seems sturdy and durable. I would reccomend this television remote replacement to anyone in the market for one.

Insignia- Replacement Remote for Samsung TVs - Black. This remote has come in handy a million times, We have it as a back up to the original remote control for our Samsung TV, the original one is solar charged but you have to remember to leave it face down so the charging plate gets light, it lasts forever & has a type-C charger for it but if you want to watch tv now you can’t. So this Insignia 2 AAA battery (comes with batteries) operated remote control is great! It took a few minutes to find the code that was compatible with our TV once it was connected haven’t had any issues with having to reconnect it again. Volume control can be used with your connected soundbar. It says it has a learnability that allows it to learn functions from the original or previous remote I haven’t noticed it yet. It has programable favorite channels buttons, Three App direct buttons for streaming services. Different features which I feel even the original remote does not come with! Such as numbers, subtitles button, channel guide, info, exit & return buttons. This replacement remote has been the best I’ve ever had, I sometimes use it instead of the original basically my boyfriend and I have our own remote controls now. He some how loses his all the time, I keep my in the couch storage compartment.

This remote control looks and feels like it he original Samsung remote. Easy to use and just as reliable as the old me that came with my TV. Good buy for the price.

I have a 2021 Samsung 50" TV where the remote buttons labels are disappearing. The original remote on one occasion failed to work. I made this purchase as a backup but it became my primarily remote because it worked so well. The pre-programmed button for the Disney channel failed to work initially so I had to reprogram it. It works fine now. I notice that I couldn't re-adjust the sound when I walked in another room like the original remote could do. When in the same room, I could point the remote in any direction and it would control the sound. With more buttons making all the functions visible it is easier for my guest to use.

the Insignia replacement TV remote works for most Samsung smart TVs. easy to use. just put in the batteries and aim at the TV. IT comes with an instruction sheet inside the box in case you need it. The numbers are large and easy to read for older people and arrows have bright white colors. the price is also reasonable. I like this remote a lot better than the original TV remote that I had. I highly recommend it.
