Why is the remote listed as a “con”? null

I have previous LG Oleds, and the remotes had more buttons for functions vs this current remote. It could be seen as a con for the lack of ease of use the current remote provides.

The remote on this TV (and most all of the new LG TVs) is relatively basic and will force you to engage in a lot of clicking about to do things that would otherwise have been far fewer button presses. If you don't use most of the buttons on your remote, then this is good news! If you do, less so. It's not unmanageable though, and doesn't ruin the experience of using the TV altogether.

The remote is touchy. The remote has a point & view function that is awful. P

is a little small and the mute is awful
