LGAN-MR21GC Magic Remote w/NFC (2021)

Works great

Direct LG replacement, easy to link to TV

The ones that are half the price have crappy buttons and don't really work with NFC. GET THIS ONE.

Just press the select button and it pares with your television! Thank Goodness!The only 2 problems I've had with this remote is with: #1 The white-paint on the rubber symbols; it wears off in a couple of years (on the buttons that recieve most use). That happened with all 5 magic remotes I've pared my five LG TVs I've owned.The #2 problem: I ordered this replacement remote because the "select wheel" broke after 2 yrs & its for the LG 2021 OLED65G1 model. Its for my elderly mother; she pressed the select-wheel (maybe too forcefully?), it went inward too-far & became permanently dislodge. The wheel fell inside the remote housing & was rattling around loose on the unside of the controller. I have two of these same televisions so I bought another (extra) Magic-remote just in case... because The television itself is fairly useless if the select button on the remote control with broken. I had to do a simultcast from my phone's entertainment app to that television so My mother could watch her TV.

It is too early to really rate or review the LG AN-MR21GC Magic Remote, as I have only had it a week. I can say that it feels much more substantial than the one LG supplies with the TV, and I can think of no reason why they should not include this one as the default remote. I purchased it because we tend to use the right and left navigation and fast forward and reverse buttons A LOT; and on the original remote, those felt flimsy and I felt they would probably fail before too long leaving us with an unusable main TV until we could hunt down and get a replacement. For the price, I felt this one would be a reasonable insurance against that. It paired with the TV in a perfectly automated fashion in only a few seconds, and there have been no problems with it losing its pairing. I don't (yet) use any of the features of the TV that are not accessible using the standard remote, so I cannot comment on its control of those. Being able to point and click and scroll with a wheel is definitely more convenient and time saving, and I really appreciate not having all the other buttons that this remote eliminates as that makes it a lot better fit to the hand and FAR fewer wrong button clicks. I do wish they had made the four colored buttons user programmable, and/or provided more direct app access buttons (yes, I did program the number buttons to operate as instant app access, but I haven't used them enough to memorize what is where or learn to make them operate correctly yet). All in all, I feel it is a worthwhile upgrade to the TV, but would have preferred to have gotten it in the same box rather than buying separately. To do that, I would have been perfectly willing to pay a little more for the TV. From other reviews, it seems there are incompatible other Magic Remotes for different TV models, so be sure to get one that is right for your TV. This one does work well with the UP7670 series models (I don't know which others).

The LG CineBeam Q HU710PB that I purchased came with a lame IR remote with no Bluetooth which made it almost impossible to use with a projector which is usually behind you. I did some research and found that this remote would work so I purchased it and I am very happy. It functions exactly as I expected it to. They should have shipped the projector with this Bluetooth remote instead and a lot more people would be happy.

Have 2021 LG Nano TV. Began to have problems with infrared pointer being 30 - 40 degrees off. Read people liked new remote they ordered. Ordered: arrived and had same problem. Stopped by Best Buy and spoke with tech, (geek) and she told me to make sure I was sitting directly in front of TV-My head would be facing the center of TV. Came home moved TV so centered and mostly problem solved. I had asked LG multiple times what was problem. I set the remote to slow and pointer to large. Never got response from LG except watch you tube which had nothing. So, by moving TV-centering myself it seems to work ok. I returned the remote I ordered because it was not necessary when original seems to work well. But upset over no help from LG. What tech also told me was to get an inexpensive remote that does not have the infrared pointer and just click and move what I want so maybe that is a solution if the problem returns.
