22?? remotes for the same TV
I just bougbta little smart TV and I was looking to figure out what
those 4 little black machine screws that they gave me were for, and I saw an entry in Amazon for remote controls for my model. Fine, but there are 24 separate entries in the list, and the first 3 I looked at had different "brand"s. How can there be between 3 and 24 manufacturers of the same remote control? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=24lh4830+...f=nb_sb_noss_1 4 or moe are listed as Replacement, 1 or more as Replace, 3 as For, a couple as Replaced, and 1 or more as Original. I think they all look just line mine!! Except thie one, which doens't actually mention my model number and is labeled Compatible with LG. https://www.amazon.com/Original-LG-A...959335&sr=8-18 My button labeled Picture is labeled Netflix,and Sound is labeled Amazon and 2 or 3 other smaller changes. BTW, the listing for the TV itself is quite interesting. https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronic...463 38&sr=8-3 points to https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...463 38&sr=8-3 Which has 3 for sale, $172.99 Used - Like New $299.99 New $379.99 Used - Like New Brand new It originally sold on Amazon for $300 (based on a review of 3 small tvs, that pointed all 3 to Amazon.) So the first one is cheaper because it's used. The second is the original price And the 3rd 379 and can't decide if it's new or used!!! But get this, Abt has the same thing, NEW, for $157 |

Is there a question in there? |

Or, they might be M4 screws for mounting the VESA stand to the back of the TV. Looks like you bought an LG Electronics 24LH4830-PU without a remote control. There should be something in the owners manual on how to install the screws: Support Page: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-24LH4830-PU.AUS Specs: https://www.lg.com/us/support/products/documents/24LH4830-PU_Spec_Sheet.pdf Owners Manual: http://gscs-b2c.lge.com/downloadFile?fileId=9uaX47S54b4wEQSEd4w8w (12.1 MB) and I saw an entry in Amazon for remote controls for my model. There are plenty of different remotes available that will contol the basic functions of your TV. However, the obscure functions found on the factory remote are often missing or misplaced. Before buying a "compatible" remote, find a photo of the original factory AKB75095330 remote that goes with your TV, and check if all the buttons and features are present. https://www.google.com/search?q=LG+24LH4830-PU+remote+control&tbm=isch However, LG is unique in that their TV remotes tend to work on all their similar model LG TV's. Some replacement remote control makers add buttons for specfic features, like Netflix, but the other functions are usually there. If they all seem to look the same, it might be because they are all the same. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

I can see, 1, 2, 3, makers of replacement remotes, but more than that they're just cutting into each other's business. How many people need a replacement anyhow. I needed extra remotes for my DVDR because rather than carry it around the house, I wanted one for the bedroom, bathroom, office, kitchen, and basement. Wherever tvs were that could control the DVDR. I settled for one on each floor. But after 10 years, one broke, so I bought a non-Philips but designed to have every function the original has. Howecver it isn't of value to have a remote in any room except where the tv is, so how many can one need? |

Howecver it isn't of value to have a remote in any room except where the tv is, so how many can one need? One for you, one for your wife and one lost in the couch. That's 3 right there. ;-) I seem to have accumulated a shoe box full of remotes over the years other than the stock one, trying to find one that will run all my stuff. The best is a full learning one that you can assign any button to any function. The one in the back room even runs the Mini Split AC. Since I got rid of 2 Dish boxes, a DVD player and my Replay TV, I am doing OK with the one that comes with my TiVo in the living room (it runs the TV OK) and I have a wireless desk top for the PC under the TV. Between the main TiVo box and 2 Minis, I do have a half dozen TiVo remotes tho. We do have an RF remote in the bedroom that runs the living room TiVo and there is an HDMI cable to the bedroom TV. When the kids are here, I put that mini in their room. Having control of the living room TiVo lets us run it for the bedroom TV. That was actually set up before I bought the minis. |

Most of the time you only use a few. That was why I didn'y like the Harmony. Too many tiny little buttons. I suppose if you keep your house lit up like Kmart it is OK but we keep it pretty dark around here. Chunghop has some nice ones, big buttons and everyone is programmable, learning from the OEM remote, whatever it is. It even runs the mini split AC out in the back room. 99% of what you do can be done with this one 11 button remote. https://tinyurl.com/y6qpknoc Run the TV, aux audio amp and AC. |
