I had bought this to primarily replace my original remote that came with my Panasonic Viera LCD TV.
While it works well, I have not found a way yet to change the inputs of the TV from this remote. I still have to use my old Panasonic remote for that purpuse. There is not "TV/Video" button to allow changing of the inputs.

Not a bad remote. Setup was easy but there is no input button to easily change to a hdmi input from the main tv. I tried every button but none of them worked on a insignia brand tv. But not a bad remote

I bought one of these, and liked it so much that I went back for another for a different TV. Easy to code and operate, and works well on both old and new TVs. Nice looking, too, especially the blue backlight! Might buy one more!

Pretty easy to setup and it works pretty much with no issue. It set right up within a few minutes and I was going pretty quickly. I used it to replace my AT&T u-verse remote, because now AT&T want's to charge me for replacement remotes. Yet another reason to drop them. All in all, a good piece of equipment.

I just bought a Samsung UHD TV at Best Buy and wanted a single remote for the tv and cable box. This one is excellent. It has a nice size, well-labeled buttons and works with the tv and the Comcast box. Setup was easy

We got free old flat screen TV without remote. So this remote is prefect. Easy set up and looks similar to cablevision remote. Can’t beat that especially when I got it on sale for $15.

My Sansung remote gave up. This replacement fit the bill - had what I was looking - backlit keys and very similar to the Samsung
Easy to program
Only negative, the universal sound does not function like the instruction manual says - minor inconvenience

Easy integration with Cable Box, TV, and Sound Bar. Room to add some other components, but those are the main ones. Used to replace a multi-unit remote that didn't have the backlight. The Backlight is a feature worth its weight in gold.

I needed a universal remote to replace my broken standard issue cable remote. It needed to control a tv, cable box and a receiver; this fit the bill. Easy to program and functions well with backlighting feature.

This remote serves does what it supposed to for the most part. As with any multi-device remote there are going to be some functions that just don't work like the OEM remote does. In my particular case, this remote will not duplicate the "Page Up" & "Page Down" functions as the OEM remote to my cable box does. I can live with it, just takes longer to scroll through the 100s of channels.
My only big qualm is that the up, down, left, right arrow keys are surrounded by the "exit" "guide" and other buttons. When trying to hit the left or right arrow without looking, I always accidentally hit the "exit" or "info" button.
A big plus for this remote is that it has a blue backlight, excellent for changing channels, devices, etc. in the dark.
