    The open box Samsung TV I bought didn't have a remote. Best Buy staff recommended this replacement. Bad decision. Despite following all the instructions few of the TV functions work. Can turn on TV and change volume but nothing else. No Smart TV features, Don't waste your time on this one.

    Terrible, Overpriced Product

    The product linked to my TV at first and worked fine. However after three or four uses the remote would not link to my TV at all no matter how I programmed it. Overall it is a poor product and you are better off using the buttons on the side of your TV, if that is your only option.

    This was purchase to replace the missing one for my in New TV. However, it did not work at all with my Samsung 4K Smart TV. Which stopped me from even setting it up; all the way too not even programming channels, connecting the internet or anything. So, don't waste your money.

    Doesn't work well with our Samsung. Not all functions worked consistently, and some didn't work at all. Just buy the original for your tv. The original was less exspensive in the end. We returned this junk remote.

    This remote is not user friendly with a RCN cable box. RCN requires the TV to default to channel 4, however the remote won't pair or default to RCN box. I was told that it would be easy. If you need a replacement remote without a cable box, then you'll be fine.

    I purchased this remote some time ago and within 2 weeks after I used it, it shorted out and will not work at all. Do not buy a generic off brand remote for any Samsung TV.
