BN59-01315A Universal Backlit Remote Control for Samsung TV Remote Replacement All Samsung Smart TV, LED, LCD, HDTV, 3D, Series TV

This works great with your tv and truly has NO PROGRAMMING for the basic parts of it. Some of the other buttons that are for TV apps like prime TV and others must need to be programmed because they don’t work, but I really wanted it so that I would have the ability to see all the buttons at night and it lights up great you can also turn off the light up part of it to save on battery, but it does turn off automatically after a few seconds, and when you touch it again, the lights would go on if you didn’t turn the switch off at the top. I was surprised that I wouldn’t have to program it all. I just put in the batteries and pointed at the TV and it was ready to go. I do think, however, it should’ve come with instructions on how to otherwise program the rest of it, but I’m sure you could find those instructions online or through the seller of this. It’s lightweight and works perfectly.

Remote works fine with no programming. The remote arrived in a paper envelope with no bubble type protection. The remote itself was in a clear icey type. On insulated plastic bag. Problem with that is if pancakes get stacked on top of the remote the buttons get compressed beyond what would happen during normal use. The buttons themselves require a very deep push to activate and don’t know if that is becuase the the above mentioned shipping damage potential. Something for them to improve upon for sure.

The night illumination is the best I have seen. Works OK EXCEPT the ON/OFF command does not work with my Samsung TV. But I can still use it.

As for the product itself I would not even buy it the remote is very unreliable I have trouble with the buttons not changing channels or using them to pause and forward the tv. I purchased two of them and both are problems. If it wasn’t for the fact that the thirty days have run out I would definitely send them back. Going to purchase better ones and get rid of these.

This is just what we needed as we watch TV in the dark and can't see the remote keys when we need to pause or control volume. Great purchase. Highly recommend. Compatible with TV and seamless transition between remotes.

When I got this remote, the streaming buttons for hulu, netflix, and prime would not work. I thought I'd not bother returning. Then two days and the backlight would not work. put new batteries in and still nothing

Finally I can see the volume or channels when watching tv in the bedroom when lights are off!

So far so good, just put batteries in this today. And the night light is super bright and easy to read!

Endlich hört die Suche im Dunklen auf. Warum stellen wir sowas nicht her?

Why did you choose this product over others?: Really good display and well illuminated

Bought it to replace Samsung remote that did not light up. Love the button configuration. Very similar to the actual Samsung remote. Backlight stopped working after 2 weeks. Very disappointing.

Although infinitely better than the stock non illuminated remotes that come with many samsung tvs, it is less than stellar when it comes to its illumination. When lit (in the dark) it is not very bright and the top and bottom rows are darker as the panel appears to be lit more centrally meaning the light tails off at the top and bottom. The fact it is illuminated in yellow rather than white also doesn't help. All that said, it does illuminate making it super useful in the dark when you need a button you rarely use and haven't built muscle memory for. Being able to see the direction arrows alone in the dark makes this a good buy for me. The remote itself is laid out identically to my samsung tv remote apart from the inclusion of the light button at the top row in the middle of the 3 buttons now there. The official samsung remote has only 2 buttons up top, so this remote adds the light button without losing a button on the remote.

Works fine, good price.
