GE Color Select Backlit Buttons Universal Remote Control, Samsung TV Remote

This remote was very easy to program. I programmed 4 items (tv, dvd, roku express and soundbar). The directions were very straight forward. I only used the Direct Code option so I cant comment on the Auto Code Search. I highlighted the codes in the provided Code List before I started the programming to make it easier and faster once I started. All four devices worked using the first code I input. I was pleasantly surprised because my dvd player is at least 5 years old. I'm very happy that this one remote is able to control four devices and I can put the original remotes away. It makes things so much easier! I also like that you can choose a back light color. There are 5 to choose from and its very easy to change the color. A few observations that will take a little getting used to: You have to push the device button you want before pushing any other buttons to make sure you're controlling the correct device. Also, there is no option to turn all your devices on or off at the same time, they have to be done individually. Overall, I like this universal remote and would get another one if I needed it.

Love this remote the weight and size is great. It’s so nice to have it light up and it was so simple to connect to the tv. Very easy to use too. It was very reasonably priced and functional.

Nicely designed in terms of form factor. I bought the black model that allows you to choose backlight colors. I had a lot of frustration trying to program my Roku+ Stick (this is one of the "better" ones in the product line with built in volume controls), but none of the codes worked. Before I decided to pack in in and return it, I combed through the Amazon Q&A section and found people saying that it seems to work with the Roku Express stick. This was interesting because the official feedback from the company was incorrect - they state that the remote only works with full-on Roku TVs, not the stick products. Seeing this info from that astute Amazon customer, I grabbed the Roku Express Stick from a different TV and swapped it out in the room and television where I wanted the GE Universal Remote to work. It worked just liked it should - I got it working in one shot, the first code "took" and I was in business. / None of this would have been necessary if Roku had better designed products with backlighting built in. In a darkened bedroom at night, it's hard to see your controls. / The moral of this story is that the GE Universal remote works exactly as I had hoped. It control both TV and Streaming device (plus other stuff like DVD players), all in one simple, backlit remote. I'm beyond happy with the quality and price.

I picked this up specifically for a Viewsonic 37" LCD with a PIP display, and other advanced features. I had tried others, they were fine to control volume and on /off, but not much else. This Remote Control 100% works every feature I've tested with the Viewsonic TV, and it has a lot of options. Easy enough, let's add a LG Blu Ray with USB Media player. And, again, it works 100%. Even open / close door. Since it was going so well, I dug a 12 year old Sanyo sound bar out of the closet and added that to the setup, and it works 100%. Very happy. Also, very easy to program, and the lighted keyboard is a must have.

Upon inserting the 2 AAA batteries, the remote worked immediately and was fully functional with my TV. Programming it to my Roku only took about a minute. I went from getting up to manually adjust the volume like it’s 1998 to enjoying a smooth 2-in-1 setup within minutes. Delivery was late, but the product made up for it, definitely worth the money!

This does not come as shown. You can’t make it multicolored as shown in the picture :(

5 Week Update: Having to reprogram after a month of use. Addendum: Lost connection with LG TV on second day of use and had to reprogram. Also discovered that I could not get it to connect with Amazon Fire Stick or cycle through HDMI connections (Micca on one). When I end connection to TV via computer or phone screen mirroring, the TV defaults back to it's own home page and I have to use my other remote to get back to Fire Stick. Original Review: I can clearly see all the buttons and the ones that I don't need on my LG remote are not on this new remote so my choices are limited but exactly what I need.

I bought this remote because I got a new (2025) Sony Bravia TV that has a baffling limitation: It can't control the volume of my Bose soundbar that's connected via optical audio cable. (The Samsung TV I was using before supports this, leading me to naively assume any recent TV would support it also. To me this is an asinine and user-hostile limitation of Sony TVs.) Rather than replace my perfectly functional soundbar (which doesn't support HDMI), I got this universal remote instead. I programmed the soundbar to the 'aux' device button and enabled the "master volume" feature, which lets me adjust the soundbar volume and mute/unmute without having to select the 'aux' device. Problem solved! The remote is easy to program using the provided instructions and code list and also has a nice backlight feature that supports multiple colors. Roku is supported if you have one that supports IR (infrared) remote control (this excludes "stick" Rokus, unfortunately). One of the other reviews said "There is no dedicated home button for a Roku," but this is not correct. The remote also works well with my Sony Blu-ray player. The size, layout, and feel of the buttons is acceptable for a remote in this price range. If you have 4 or fewer devices of relatively recent vintage that have IR remotes, this universal remote control should do just fine.

Great remote, so simple to program. Really nice to use when lying in bed at night watching TV as it lights up and you can find the buttons easily. Programming it is so easy.

Très content, j'ai pu programmer mes trois manettes de 3 différentes compagnies en un rien de temps, Merci !

This remote is nice however it will not program to our TV!! We have tried every code possible. Waste of money if you ask me!!
