Magic Motion Remote for 2013 LG HDTVs with Smart TV
NEW LG LG Electronics AN-MR400 Magic Motion Remote for 2013 LG HDTVs with Smart TV
What it is: a Wii controller for your TV. It works exactly like a
Wii....(but no wrist tether). When you get to a typing box it brings up
the onscreen keyboard. While it could take some time to write an
email.....it works well for netflix, google searches....stuff like that.
While
I wouldn't call it "magic", it is a great leap forward. Over the years
remotes have gotten way more complicated (eg. thousands of buttons).
This one, when you figure it out, makes navigating all of the features
of a smart tv fairly effortless with 9 buttons, a mute, and a wheel
(although much of this ease is in the way that LG chose to set up the
user interface for the tv itself). While I like the fact that is is also
a universal remote....and actually can control everything, including
the DVR in my cable box......it would be nice if it did my surround too.
It is supposed to, but my model apparently isn't in the scope of its
compatibility.
It's definitely worth the $75...but use the guide
that is on the lil' disc, or in the TV's task bar to find out how to
work all of the stuff...as the same buttons do multiple things.
