Universal for LG Smart TV Remote Control Replacement (Pack of 2)

Our review of the Universal for LG Smart TV Remote Control Replacement (Pack of 2) finds it best suited for households that need a straightforward, no-setup replacement or backup for recent LG TVs. The single biggest reason to buy is practicality: these two IR remotes work right out of the box with many LG UHD, OLED, QNED and NanoCell series, offering four shortcut buttons and immediate operation without pairing. For someone who lost or damaged an original remote and wants a low-effort solution, this pack delivers a clear, dependable experience most of the time.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: The remotes are designed to work as replacements for numerous LG series including UP70, UP75, UP76, UP80, UP87 and many OLED and QNED lines, so buyers can expect a match for current LG models.
• Two remotes per pack: Receiving two identical remotes provides a spare immediately, which is useful for multi-room homes or as a backup when one is misplaced.
• Four shortcut buttons: Shortcut keys let users jump to favorite channels or functions quickly, reducing menu navigation for common tasks.
• Plug-and-play use: No programming is required; install two AAA batteries and the remote responds to the TV, simplifying setup for nontechnical users.
• Fast response and range: Constructed from ABS, the remotes are reported to respond in about 0.2 seconds and operate up to roughly 40 ft, delivering practical performance for living rooms.

Who It's For

This pack is ideal for owners of compatible LG UHD, OLED, QNED and NanoCell TVs who want a low-cost replacement without fuss. It also suits families that need an extra remote for a second seating area or as an immediate spare after losing the original.
