It has many options in the control to work on many tvs. It is easy to set up and helps in a situation where the control you had before was worn out.

My remote took a crap and I needed a new one. Got this as an open box item and im very happy with it. It does everything I need it to. Some buttons don't function with my tv, but I'm happy to have a remote that works rather than one that doesn't.

Very nice remote, was easy to set up if only I would have followed directions exactly. I kept pushing 2 buttons at the same time. It does not have the timer option or I haven't found it yet. I only have it connected to one device.

Very solid in my hand, love the automatic feature when you’re trying to find a TV that you don’t know the code for. Very easy and simple to use. But lots of buttons that let you run all kinds of different devices. Good job, Best Buy!

It’s good. It’s a little bit heavy and bulky. The best part is the setup. It took less than a minute and was easy.

Perfect substitution for when you no longer have the remote to a TV that suspiciously has only a power button on it. Easy to program - Easy to read buttons. Can't beat it.

Love it just didn’t come with instructions because it was used, had to look it up on YouTube and it was pretty easy to connect especially with the tv being the same brand

I was skeptical to buy this remote. And the OEM ones for samsung are way too expensive as if they were parts of a spaceship. So i took a chance and ordered this remote. And it has taken a few falls and functions just great. I love the backlit keypad for dimmed lighting and also when you are just getting used to handle this remote until you know the keys like the back of your hand.
