A reviewer of an additional remote (has a keyboard on the back of the remote) says that it can be used with the M401i-A3. I just ordered one. I can confirm that the remote that comes with the E601i-A3 (has the keyboard on the back of the remote) does indeed work with this TV. Here is the link to the first one I spoke of, if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009IHHQUS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29JKI1RMX1A0E

No, you don't need it. We did not purchase it. We are using the regular remote and it is fine except that keyboard entry is letter by letter so very cumbersome. I noticed that it can support a regular wireless keyboard so that is a thought if you plan to interact with it a lot. If you have an ipad you can also use the LG smart TV app which then allows you to enter keys from your ipad. HTHs :-)

The tv remote part works with virtually any IR remote capable device as it has learning function. The keyboard will probably not work though.

If you have the original remote just use the LEARN feature. I had to do it for my Telus digital TV remote it uses proprietary codes.

Yes, but understand that not all apps will work with this keyboard so you may still need to use the remote for those apps.

You sure can. You just need to look up the codes for Samsung to program the remote.

I use the google tv remote app on my phone. I also have an lg universal remote that works too.

I have the RE iPhone remote and use it on the Ipad but it also works on the iPhone. Allows you to select from a very large database of TVs, components, etc and also program directly from an existing remote. Works so well I did not replace the Harmony when it died.

I believe any iPhone (with cell or not) and any iPod with the dock connector can work as a remote. You have a good idea to repurpose them.

you can buy an attachment if you want a qwerty keyboard. I did and loved it. otherwise it is a touch screen only.

I am able to use this remote on my TV of the same model. I am not able to use the keypad within my remote but I am not sure if there is something I can do to solve this or the remote I received is having issues. Bottom line. Yes. I do use this remote and everything works well other than the keypad for me.

Not that I know of... the wired remote is digital but I don't believe "there's an app for that."

This is just from my experience, if you have an Android phone, you can download the LG TV remote from the play store and install it on your phone. I think if you are just watching regular tv, the remote control which came with your tv is easier to use, but if you will be using the smart tv features, i think the tv remote app is easier to use for searching, or if you have some money to waste, you can buy the optional LG Smart remote control.

If you have the Samsung remote just map it to the Vizio since it is a learning remote. That way you don't need to find a code.

Just like everybody else on the discussion, just go out and buy yourself a quality learning remote. Personally, I have the Logitech Harmony 767 and I did the learning feature to program the remote. It is extremely simple at programming, all you have to do is plug in the remote into the USB port of ur computer, log into the logitech software, and follow the directions. I picked up my logitech remote from CL for super cheap and it controls everything... EVEN my speed controlled ceiling fans and lights!!! All the functions work PERFECTLY with the tv.

It works plug and play for Windows and OSX. I have used it on a few Android devices. "Smart tv" is too broad an OS to comment on. The remote is 1.5X5 inches, thickness of an iPhone.
