LG AN-MR21GC Magic Remote w/NFC (2021) (Renewed) - Replacement Remote

In this review the LG AN-MR21GC Magic Remote w/NFC (2021) (Renewed) is evaluated as a practical replacement remote for owners of compatible 2021 LG TVs. The bottom line: this refurbished remote delivers the core features most users need - reliable button control, hot keys for streaming services and voice assistant access - at a lower price than a new unit. For someone whose original remote is lost or failing, this remote restores full TV control quickly and offers the convenience of Hot Keys and voice assistant integration without buying a new television.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with 2021 OLED G1, C1, A1 series, QNED99 and QNED90 series, NanoCell NANO99 through NANO75 series, and UHD UP80 and UP75 series to restore native remote functions.
• Hot Keys: Dedicated buttons for Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ and LG Channels speed navigation to popular streaming services.
• Voice Control: Built-in access for Alexa and Google Assistant lets users issue voice commands for search, playback and smart home control.
• NFC Pairing: NFC makes initial pairing faster on supported TVs, reducing setup time for a replacement remote.
• Refurbished Condition: Professionally inspected and tested to work and look like new, offering replacement value at lower cost than a new OEM unit.

Who It's For

This replacement remote is for owners of 2021 LG televisions who need a reliable walk-up substitute for a lost or malfunctioning original remote and who value quick access to streaming apps and voice assistants. It is especially useful for households that regularly use the built-in streaming hot keys and smart assistant features.

It is not aimed at users who require newer model-specific features introduced after 2021 or who prefer an original-sealed new retail remote; buyers seeking factory-new packaging should consider other options. Also, if a TV model predates or postdates the listed 2021 series, compatibility should be verified before purchase.
