Replacement Remotes

the button set for a device you already own

Every product in this category is bought for a device that already came with one of these. Sometimes that is the right purchase, because remotes get lost, sat on and dropped behind radiators. Sometimes it is the second one.

These are also the most tightly qualified listings in the catalog. Several of them name the models they will not work with, and this site prints those limits at the same weight as the compatibility ranges. Both are statements by the seller, and neither is confirmed here.

For Samsung TVs

Three listings

Each listing states a range of Samsung model years. Ranges are seller statements about their own product and are quoted here rather than checked.

  • Replacement for Samsung TV Remote, with Voice Control
    Two year warranty with voice control stated

    Its stated warranty and its stated voice control together are what separate it from the other two Samsung listings here, one of which states neither.

    Replacement for Samsung TV Remote, with Voice Control

    • The input

    The listing states compatibility with all 2019 to 2026 Samsung smart TVs, voice control and a two year full warranty. All three of those are seller statements. This site quotes them and does not confirm that this remote will work with any particular television.

    What the listing states

    • The stated model year range is printed plainly in the listing rather than buried
    • Voice control is stated, which one of the three listings in this group does not state
    • A two year full warranty is stated by the seller
    • The listing names a single brand, so what it is aimed at is not ambiguous

    What it does not

    • A stated compatibility range is a seller claim about their own product and nothing more
    • No model series are named, unlike another listing in this group
    • A replacement remote is only not a duplicate if the original is genuinely gone

    SuitsA Samsung set whose original remote is lost, once the buyer has checked the model against the seller list.

    View listing
  • Replacement for Samsung TV Remote Control, Universal
    Only listing naming Samsung series

    One listing in this category names Samsung model series rather than only a year range, and this is it.

    Replacement for Samsung TV Remote Control, Universal

    • The input

    The listing states compatibility with 2015 to 2026 Crystal UHD, Frame, QLED, OLED and Neo QLED smart televisions. It is the only remote listing in this catalog that names the model series it is aimed at, which is more information than the others give.

    What the listing states

    • The model series are named individually, and no other remote listing here does that
    • The stated year range starts earlier than either of the other Samsung listings here
    • Naming series gives a buyer something concrete to check against their own set
    • The listing does not claim a voice feature it has not stated

    What it does not

    • No voice control is stated, unlike both of its neighbors in this group
    • No warranty is stated in the listing text quoted here
    • A named series list is still a seller claim and is not confirmed by this site

    SuitsA buyer who knows their Samsung series name and wants to check it against a printed list rather than a year range alone.

    View listing
  • Rechargeable TV Remote for Samsung Smart TVs
    Only rechargeable remote here

    USB-C fast charging and solar charging appear in exactly one listing in this category. Every other remote here states nothing about power at all.

    Rechargeable TV Remote for Samsung Smart TVs

    • The input

    The listing states compatibility with all 2019 to 2026 Samsung televisions, voice control, USB-C fast charging, solar charging and a two year warranty. It is the only remote listing in this catalog that states any charging method at all.

    What the listing states

    • USB-C fast charging and solar charging are both stated, and no other remote listing here states charging
    • Voice control is stated
    • A two year warranty is stated by the seller
    • The stated year range matches the other voice control listing in this group

    What it does not

    • A charging remote is one more thing in the house that needs charging
    • No model series are named, so the year range is all a buyer has to check against
    • Every compatibility claim on the listing is the seller statement and is not confirmed here

    SuitsA household tired of buying batteries, that has checked its set against the stated year range.

For Roku TVs

Three listings

Every listing in this group draws a line between Roku televisions and Roku players. Read the limit before the brand list.

For Roku TVs: three listings compared on four points that differ

Four of the recorded points differ across this group. Where a listing says nothing, the cell reads not stated, which is not the same as absent.

  • Roku TV Remote Control (Official Manufacturer Product)
    The manufacturer remote for a set you own

    First in this category. The core job here is the button set for a device you already own, and this is the only listing that states it comes from the manufacturer of that device.

    Limit printed by the sellerRokuTV models ONLY. Not Roku Players.

    Roku TV Remote Control (Official Manufacturer Product)

    • The input

    The listing states simple setup, pre-set app shortcuts, and that it is compatible with Roku TV models only and not with Roku players. That limit is the most useful sentence on the listing, so it is printed above the promises rather than below them.

    What the listing states

    • The listing states it is an official manufacturer product, and no other remote listing here states its source
    • The limit is stated plainly, which saves a return
    • Simple setup is stated
    • Pre-set app shortcuts are stated as part of the button layout

    What it does not

    • It states that it is not compatible with Roku players, which is a large part of the Roku hardware in this catalog
    • No warranty period appears in the listing text quoted here
    • No brands or model years are listed beyond the platform name

    SuitsA Roku television, and specifically not a Roku player, according to the listing itself.

    View listing
  • Replacement Remote Control for Roku TV, 2 Pack
    Two pack, limit names the stick and box

    Its stated limit names the stick and the box. The other two pack in this group states a limit that names one more device than this one does.

    Limit printed by the sellerNot for Stick & Box.

    Replacement Remote Control for Roku TV, 2 Pack

    • The input

    The listing states compatibility with TCL, Onn, Hisense, Sharp, Element, Westinghouse and Philips Roku smart televisions, and it states it is not for the stick or box. The second half of that sentence is the half that matters, so it is printed first here.

    What the listing states

    • Seven brands are named, which is a longer list than the manufacturer listing in this group gives
    • The limit about sticks and boxes is stated in the listing itself
    • It is a two pack, so a lost remote does not immediately mean another order
    • The brands are named rather than described as universal

    What it does not

    • It is stated as not for the stick or box, which rules out a large part of the Roku hardware here
    • No voice control, warranty or setup detail is stated
    • A two pack is two remotes arriving in a room that may already have four

    SuitsA Roku television from one of the named brands, in a household that loses remotes in pairs.

    View listing
  • Replacement Remote Control for Roku TV, 2 Pack
    Two pack, limit names the speaker as well

    Its stated limit names the stick, the box and the speaker. That third device is what separates its limit from the other two pack in this group.

    Limit printed by the sellerNot for the Roku Stick, Box or Speaker.

    Replacement Remote Control for Roku TV, 2 Pack

    • The input

    The listing states compatibility with TCL, Hisense, Onn, Sharp, Philips, Element and Westinghouse Roku televisions, and it states it is not for the Roku stick, box or speaker. It shares its product name with another listing here, so the ASIN is what tells them apart.

    • Two listings in this catalog carry the product name Replacement Remote Control for Roku TV, 2 Pack, with different ASINs and different stated limits.

    What the listing states

    • The stated limit is the most specific in this group, naming three device types
    • Seven brands are named in the listing
    • It is a two pack
    • Nothing in the listing claims a feature it has not stated

    What it does not

    • It shares a product name with another listing in this catalog, so the name alone will not identify it
    • It is stated as not for the Roku stick, box or speaker
    • Nothing is stated about voice control, warranty or setup

    SuitsA Roku television from one of the named brands, where the buyer wants the limit spelled out in full.

For Fire TV devices

Three listings

These listings name Fire TV devices, Fire televisions or both. One is the manufacturer remote and two are replacements by other sellers.

For Fire TV devices: three listings compared on five points that differ

Five of the recorded points differ across this group. Where a listing says nothing, the cell reads not stated, which is not the same as absent.

  • Replacement Remote for Insignia, Toshiba and Amazon Fire Smart TV
    One year warranty stated

    One year is the shortest stated warranty period in this category, and no other listing here states it. The two Samsung listings that state a warranty both state two years.

    Replacement Remote for Insignia, Toshiba and Amazon Fire Smart TV

    • The input

    The listing states voice control, simple setup and a one year warranty, and its title names Insignia, Toshiba and Amazon Fire smart televisions. Four Insignia Fire televisions sit in this catalog, so this is a remote aimed squarely at sets already on the shelf here.

    What the listing states

    • Voice control is named in the listing
    • Simple setup is named as well
    • A one year warranty is stated, and no other remote listing here states one year
    • The brands in the title match televisions that actually appear in this catalog

    What it does not

    • No model years are stated, so there is nothing to check a set against beyond the brand
    • The warranty period is a seller statement in a listing title
    • It is aimed at televisions, and the Fire devices in this catalog include five sticks as well

    SuitsAn Insignia or Toshiba Fire television whose original remote has gone missing.

    View listing
  • Replacement Voice Remote for Fire Stick, TV Cube and Fire Smart TV
    Names Fire TV sticks and televisions both

    Its stated compatibility covers stick models and television brands in one list. The other two listings in this group name one side or the other, not both.

    Replacement Voice Remote for Fire Stick, TV Cube and Fire Smart TV

    • The input

    The listing states compatibility with FireStick HD, 4K, Select, Plus and 4K Max, and with Omni, Ember, Insignia and Toshiba smart televisions. It is the only remote listing here that names both sticks and televisions in one compatibility statement.

    What the listing states

    • It names both stick models and television brands, where the other Fire listings name one or the other
    • The stick names it lists line up with five listings in the streaming category of this catalog
    • The named list is specific enough to check a device against
    • It is a voice remote by its own title

    What it does not

    • No warranty, setup detail or model year is stated
    • A long compatibility list is still a seller claim, and this site confirms none of it
    • Naming five stick models does not tell you which one is behind your television

    SuitsA household with both a Fire stick and a Fire television, where one remote has gone missing and nobody is sure which.

    View listing
  • Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro (newest model)
    Only backlit buttons stated here

    Backlit buttons appear in exactly one listing in this category. A player listing in another category states them too, which is worth knowing before buying this one.

    Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro (newest model)

    • The input

    The listing states a remote finder, television controls and backlit buttons. A remote with a finder built into it is a fair summary of what this catalog is about, and it is the only listing here that states backlit buttons.

    What the listing states

    • Backlit buttons are stated, and no other remote listing here states them
    • A remote finder is stated, which is a direct answer to the problem this category exists for
    • Television controls are stated as well as device controls
    • The listing states features rather than a compatibility range it cannot stand behind

    What it does not

    • No brands, model years or platforms are named in the listing text quoted here
    • A finder helps with a remote that is lost in the room, not one that is genuinely gone
    • One player listing in this catalog states a remote with backlit buttons already in its own box

    SuitsA room where the remote is not missing so much as permanently under a cushion.

For VIZIO

One listing

One listing targets VIZIO, so there is nothing here to compare it against and no comparison table is drawn for it.

A single listing sits in this group, so no comparison table is drawn. There is nothing here to compare it against, and putting it in a table on its own would suggest otherwise.

  • Universal Remote Control XRT140 for VIZIO Smart TV
    Only VIZIO listing here

    VIZIO appears in one listing in this catalog and no television here is a VIZIO. That is why it sits in a group of one with no comparison table.

    Universal Remote Control XRT140 for VIZIO Smart TV

    • The input

    The listing states it replaces the XRT136, XRT260 and XRT270, and that it is compatible with Smartcast D, E, M, P, V and PX series smart televisions. It is the only VIZIO listing in this catalog, so no comparison table is drawn for it.

    What the listing states

    • It names the three part numbers it replaces, which is the most checkable claim in this category
    • The Smartcast series are named individually
    • A buyer can compare a part number on their own remote against the list
    • It is the only listing here aimed at VIZIO, so there is no risk of mixing it up with a neighbor

    What it does not

    • No VIZIO television appears in this catalog, so nothing here can be compared against it
    • Being alone in its group means there is no comparison table for it on the category page
    • Part numbers and series are seller statements, and this site confirms neither

    SuitsA VIZIO set whose original remote carries one of the three part numbers named in the listing.

Questions about replacement remotes

Will one of these work with the television in my room?

This site cannot say. Every compatibility claim on this page is the seller statement, quoted as written. The manufacturer of your set and the seller of the remote are the only parties who can answer that.

Why are the limits printed so prominently?

Because on these listings they are the most useful sentence. A remote sold for Roku televisions that says it is not for Roku players has just told you the thing most likely to cause a return.

Do the warranty periods in these names mean anything here?

They are seller statements printed in the listing title. This site records them and does not evaluate them.
