User reviews

Users appreciate the Smart LG TV remote control extension for its compactness, ease of use, and the useful magic remote feature allowing remote TV control from PC. Many report it works well when the TV's IP address is correctly entered. However, some users face connection issues with newer LG webOS TVs and experience slight lag with the magic remote. The need for manual IP entry and lack of certain features like wake-on-LAN are common concerns. Overall, it is considered a great tool that reduces dependence on physical remotes.

Magic remote feature enhances navigation and is highly appreciated.

Cons

Does not work properly or connect with some newer LG webOS TV models (e.g., WebOS 4 or 2022/2023 models).
Some delay or lag exists when using the magic remote feature.
Requires manual IP address entry which may not be straightforward for all users.
Needs better or more detailed usage instructions for first-time users.
No wake-on-LAN feature, limiting remote starting of the TV.
