has anyone used this to control a Smart TV, such as an LG model? I'm wondering if it will control the on-screen buttons and apps?

This remote is an older design meant strictly to replace infrared remotes. If LG's Smart TVs use an infrared remote, then this will work for it

Honestly...this product is not going to do anything for your TV. You need something like the "Mini MK802 Android 4.0 Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Allwinner A10 1G DDR3" if your goal is to make your TV a "smart" TV. I have not bought one, but it is on my to buy list as my TV has a USB port, but does not have an ethernet port. This will allow me to get the Android Netflix app etc.Amazon won't let me include a link but you can buy that device here at Amazon.com

I have a lg smart tv and it works great. It should work for you if your tv has a USB port to plug in the keyboard receiver

Ido not have answer to the question. However, I agree the remote control that came with the smart TV is garbage. Look at the replacement cost. What you get is just garbage again. Very frustrating.

Hi, I searched for that option too but apparently the remote doesn't come with it, what I use now is the Android app "Google TV remote" which works pretty much the same as the physical remote control but this one has more features and there is one call "recall" which allows the function that you are looking for, this app is free and is better than the original remote control (if you have an android phone it will be very useful) Regards

I'm not sure. Does the LG have a USB port? I use the keyboard with my HTPC. Never tried on a smart tv

No, you will not loose any functionality. It has a universal remote menu to set up the standard remote to control your whole system if you want. Or if you already have a universal remote then you can program it to control everything on the TV. Gesture and voice control can still work if you want as well. I have mine turned off because it seems gimmicky to me.

This was purchased by me as a second control for our family room. It controls our LG 55" smart TV and the X1 box. It is not capable of controlling my LG sound bar when the sound bar is connected via Optical Cable, but can control volume on the sound bar when it is connected via HDMI cable.

its only compatible to the TV, it does not control any other device, its really more for the functions of the TV such as the internet, hulu, Netflix, crackle, Amazon and ECT. selecting media devises that connected to the tv. but does not control them.

No this has the previous smart tv interface that lg made. The interface is okay and works for most things.

I am sorry I have tried it on two different Android Smart tv boox and it works. Some keys maybe not compatible with some tablets

Hi Kay....I did purchase this remote, but returned it because it did not work with what I wanted to control. Sorry

Works perfectly on my LG tv. Hopefully something that works cross-brand will also work cross-model within the original brand, but I do not have that model so can not answer definitively.

If you click on the "Smart" button on the remote, one of the icons is for web browsing. I've used it and it works (as long as you setup your T.V. ) on your home network. Since I don't have a keyboard attached to the T.V. it was cumbersome using selecting one letter at a time from the virtual keyboard and remote control, so I hardly ever use it.

Mine worked out of the box for basic TV controls. It will possibly need to be programed to work with optional devices, not sure.

Yes, I have mine controlling the Roku now.I used to have it programmed to the Harmony 550 and the "menu" button took you to the home screen, on the 510 it does not. You have to add this command, no problem.

Yes, My TV came with a Samsung remote that has a Smart Button on it, although I don't use it, as I have a universal remote.
