LG Smart TV Magic Remote Replacement - Voice & Pointer Remote

In this review the reviewer tested the HESUNSE replacement remote to see whether it is a practical and affordable substitute for lost or damaged LG smart remotes. The bottom line: this remote is for owners of 2019 through 2023 LG OLED, QNED, NanoCell and UHD sets who want quick pairing, a working pointer and builtin voice control without paying for an original OEM unit. The reviewer found it reliable for daytoday navigation, especially on webOS models, and worth considering when the original remote is unavailable.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Works with LG smart TVs from 2019 to 2023 so users with recent OLED, QNED, NanoCell and UHD models can replace a lost remote without worrying about model codes.
• Pointer and Cursor: The point, click and scroll functions act like an air mouse so navigating menus and streaming apps is faster than with simple button remotes.
• Voice Control: Builtin voice support lets users search and control the TV handsfree, simplifying content discovery on webOS AI ThinQ sets.
• Preset App Buttons: Dedicated keys for Netflix, Disney, LG Channels and other apps provide onepress access to popular streaming services.
• Easy Pairing: Pairing is straightforward: insert two AA batteries and hold the middle scroll button until the TV accepts the remote, which the reviewer found reliably quick on modern LG sets.

Who It's For

This replacement remote is best for LG owners whose original magic remote is lost, damaged or no longer pairing, and who want pointer and voice features without buying an OEM remote. It fits a broad set of 2019-2023 LG models including C, G, A, Z, QNED, NANO and U series.

It is less suitable for very old LG TVs outside the listed model years or for users who require manufacturer warranty coverage on official OEM remotes. Also, if the old remote is still paired to the TV, users should remove its batteries before pairing this unit to avoid button conflicts.
