Nice TV flimsy remote.

I was looking for a good 1080p TV that was not too big and not too small that would work for watching a movie or playing my xbox. This TV fit the bill nicely. I like the quality of the picture and the build of the TV is sturdy. Overall the brightness is good and I don't notice any tearing or artifacting on upscaled media. My only complaint is that that remote is not good quality it feels flimsy in the hand and many times when I push the power or the volume buttons they do not register with the TV. This could be resolved with a universal remote, but the remote being of lesser quality was enough to cause me to ding the TV one star. I liked this TV and would buy again and would recommend to others... with a new remote. I would say that this TV is a good second TV or one to put in the kids room (on the wall) to play games on.

I bought this to replace my VUR 10 remote that stopped working. This remote did work as advertised with my TV. However, I never did get it to work with my DirecTV. Also the battery cover did not completely close after I put in the batteries.

Kinda flimsy but they do the trick. We were able to play our game with these attached to our older remotes.

I like the TV. I've watched it for years, and it works fine, great screen.
One thing I don't like is the remote control. Button contact won't look to last long.
I have to press buttons hard sometimes already.
In worst case, I can buy universal remote control.

Needed a basic and cheap replacement remote for the Haier TV in our bedroom.  This one was by a brand I trusted and was not expensive.  Setup required a little tweaking as the codes suggested didn't actually work for my TV, but using the (tedious) autosearch feature and I got it working.  Annoyingly, I've never been able to map the INPUT button correctly, which mean I can't change inputs.  So overall, worth the small amount of money I paid, but not really worth anything more.

The remote has a hard time picking up. It works well for a TV that I don't use much but would seek alternative for a more used tv.

This converter box has some really nice features, including the ability to use a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive as a programable DVR recorder. That is a great option! But the remote seems really cheap and it is difficult to get it to control the converter box. You really need to have perfect "aim" with the remote to make the box function. If this had a higher quality remote I would give the unit a 5 star rating for the included features.

Works well.  The buttons on the remote are too small----------other seniors a little less nimble might have trouble with it.  Otherwise OK.

The remote works -- but, it is not the best craftsmanship or quality.  The button response is poor and requires multiple hard presses before the intended function activates the TV.  The remote's assembly is not solid; the case and internal components rattle.  The infrared light for the remote's signal is not protected; the bulb is exposed unlike the standard issue Sony remote..

After owning this for a few weeks, the trackball broke - I could only move the mouse on the X axis. But the thing was, I felt a little relieved that I had to replace it. As much as I wanted to like this remote, I really didn't. Here's why:

- No programmable keys. Forget trying to turn on or off your TV with this remote.

- The keys aren't backlit. My home theater uses a projector, so the room is dark, and it's hard to find the right keys to hit.

- The keys are laid out oddly. The right button, for example, is stacked on top of the left button. The play button is tiny, etc.

- A trackball isn't optimal for a HTPC remote. If the remote vibrates a little bit, the mouse cursor reappears. Trackballs also pick up dirt, and moving parts tend to break over time. This would be a much better remote with a trackpad instead of a trackball.

I expected this to last longer than a month, though. It's too bad I didn't keep the packaging.

On the plus side, it does fit the hand well, and the trackball is pretty easy to move with your thumb.

Not extremely fast and the remote is cheaply made, but very acceptable for the price.

The remote than came with the TV was disgustingly small, buttons too close together, you could barely see the information on each button and was frustrating to use. This remote is son much better and even has an INFO button that makes the TV tell about the show you're watching-a sort of summary. It also has LIGHT button that illuminates the remote so you can see what button to push in a dark room.

Lighter than the other Direct Tv Remote but it works as it should. Probably a China Knock off of a China Product but.... It works

This presentation remote works well. The build quality isn't the best so it probably wouldn't hold up to constant use by careless people.

Honestly not surprised by a product that has such a significant number of 1-star ratings. You get what you pay for with this remote. I've had it less than 24 hours and can already tell its going to be a pain. You have to angle it just right for the IR signal to communicate with the tv. Wouldn't be surprised if the remote only lasts me a few months. Probably should spring for a better remote.

Pros:  Works with my Vizio TV and other devices.  Price here on Amazon.

Originally I got this to replace a missing Vizio TV remote so I could program digital over the air stations properly.  This works fine as a replacement for the TV remote and it can control various devices as advertised.

Cons:  While not as bulky as some universal, 8-device remotes, it's still a little large for my admittedly not huge hands.  Layout is kind of odd.  Hard to get memory muscles working with this right.  Because of odd angle of the front IR port, have to raise hand up to get TV to "see" this remote at times.  Also, horizontally have to be on the right side of the TV to get it to recognize this remote.

So, this remote is slightly smaller than other universal remotes but has its problems and quirks.  I have not tried programming it for anything other than a TV, a VCR, DVD, and my old Pioneer 604 laserdisc player.  I'm the only one in the household that uses this universal remote and everyone else uses the OEM remotes for these devices as, you know, learning curve is high on this (and most other) universal remotes. UPDATE Oct 2015:  This remote is still working well and others in the household have learned to use it with the Vizio TV.
