BN59-01315A Universal Backlit Remote Control for Samsung TV Remote Replacement All Samsung LCD LED HDTV 3D QLED OLED 4K 8K Smart TV Models

Why did you choose this product over others?: Really good display and well illuminated

Although infinitely better than the stock non illuminated remotes that come with many samsung tvs, it is less than stellar when it comes to its illumination. When lit (in the dark) it is not very bright and the top and bottom rows are darker as the panel appears to be lit more centrally meaning the light tails off at the top and bottom. The fact it is illuminated in yellow rather than white also doesn't help. All that said, it does illuminate making it super useful in the dark when you need a button you rarely use and haven't built muscle memory for. Being able to see the direction arrows alone in the dark makes this a good buy for me. The remote itself is laid out identically to my samsung tv remote apart from the inclusion of the light button at the top row in the middle of the 3 buttons now there. The official samsung remote has only 2 buttons up top, so this remote adds the light button without losing a button on the remote. The button presses are awful though. Very spongey. Edit:- it lasted 3 weeks before it let me down and stopped working altogether. Still lit up but no longer responded to the buttons. Simply put, it wasn't worth the purchase

Endlich hört die Suche im Dunklen auf. Warum stellen wir sowas nicht her?

Bought it to replace Samsung remote that did not light up. Love the button configuration. Very similar to the actual Samsung remote. Backlight stopped working after 2 weeks. Very disappointing.

I was really worried about this remote when it arrived without any instructions at all. But all you have to do is put the batteries in and aim it at your TV and it works! It’s a miracle. I’m so happy.

This replacement remote is perfect. I have an old Samsung TV: I put in batteries and it worked right away, no programming needed. I almost got one that only lighted up 2 buttons, I'm glad I checked the other pics and got this one instead. Perfect for use in a dark room. This one lights up if you hit any button, and there's a "light on" button at the top. It stays on for a couple seconds after you stop pressing. Some reviews mention that the buttons are stiff. Yeah, because it's made well and is brand new. It's going to stand up to thousands of hits so a bit of stiffness out of the box is fine. After a day or so the buttons I use most feel like any other remote, so any stiffness is temporary. One way this one is better is that the original remote double-taps in Samsung TV Plus. I have 2 Samsung TVs, bought about 3 years apart, and both of them have the same problem. This remote hasn't double-tapped ONCE. So now I know it's not my fingers, it's the original remote causing the extra clicks. This one is great. Get it. Oh, and I spilled water on it the first day and it didn't die, so that's a plus too. I do wish the light was blue but otherwise it's perfect.

Works fine, good price.
