Replacement for Samsung Smart TV Remote Control, Universal Compatible with All Samsung TVs (BN59-01388A)
Quick take
This universal Samsung TV replacement remote (infrared) is designed for quick, plug-and-play use, with no pairing or programming required. It is a good fit for Samsung Crystal UHD, QLED, Neo QLED, OLED, and The Frame models from many years, with a stated 45 ft control range. The main caveat is that the Disney+ shortcut may not work on some Samsung TVs made before 2022.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Plug-and-play setup, insert 2 AAA batteries (not included), no programming required
- Infrared remote with up to 45 ft range
- Built-in shortcut buttons for Samsung TV Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ (voice control not supported)
- Durable ABS design, rated for 200K clicks, plus long standby time (up to 6 months depending on usage)
Cons
- Disney+ button may not function with some Samsung TVs manufactured before 2022
- Uses AAA batteries, so you will need periodic replacements
- Infrared control means line-of-sight setup may matter versus RF/Bluetooth-style remotes
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence focuses on ease of use and setup speed. Multiple reviews describe dropping in batteries and getting immediate response, with no pairing or programming required. Reviewers also tend to like the button layout and the sense that the remote feels durable for everyday control. The main buyer-level “could be better” theme is that it requires batteries rather than an internal charge, but overall satisfaction remains high.
Who this remote is best for
This replacement remote is a practical choice if you:
- Need a replacement for a lost, broken, or worn Samsung TV remote
- Want a simple, plug-and-play setup that does not require pairing
- Have a Samsung Crystal UHD (including CU7000/DU7200), QLED, Neo QLED, OLED, or The Frame model within the supported ranges
- Prefer direct access buttons for popular streaming apps
Compatibility and model coverage (what to check first)
This remote is marketed as universal for many Samsung smart TV lines and also references compatibility with several Samsung remote model numbers including BN59-01388A, BN59-01388H, TM2240A, and others (with an explicit note that it is not for BN59-01480A).
Before buying, confirm two things:
- Your TV model year and line match one of the covered categories (Crystal UHD, QLED, Neo QLED, OLED, or The Frame)
- Your remote number aligns with the compatible BN59/TM identifiers listed
Setup and daily use
Plug and play, no pairing
Setup is straightforward: insert two AAA batteries and start using the remote. There is no programming step mentioned, which aligns with the most common buyer experience in reviews.
Infrared control and range
The remote uses infrared (IR) control with a stated range up to 45 ft. IR typically performs best when you can point the remote toward the TV, especially if the room has obstructions.
Shortcut buttons
For faster navigation, the remote includes four dedicated shortcut buttons for Samsung TV Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. Note that voice control is not supported, and the Disney+ button may not work as expected on certain pre-2022 Samsung TV models.
Pros and cons in plain English
- Buy it if you want an inexpensive Samsung TV replacement remote that is easy to start using immediately and covers a wide range of Samsung TV families.
- Skip it or double-check first if Disney+ control is a must on an older Samsung TV (before 2022), or if you need a non-IR remote style for your setup.
Price and availability
The remote is positioned as a budget-friendly replacement option versus buying a brand-new original remote. Check the latest price and shipping timing on the product listing page when you are ready to order.
Verdict
If your Samsung TV remote is lost, damaged, or not responding, this universal IR replacement remote is a strong match for most common Samsung Crystal UHD, QLED, Neo QLED, OLED, and The Frame models listed, especially if you prefer simple plug-and-play use. The biggest thing to verify is Disney+ behavior on older TVs, since that feature is the most likely to vary by model year.
FAQ
Will this remote work with my Samsung TV?
It is designed for many Samsung Crystal UHD (including CU7000/DU7200), QLED, Neo QLED, OLED, and The Frame models, and it references compatibility with several Samsung remote part numbers. Double-check your TV model line and remote number against the compatible listings before ordering.
Do I need to pair or program it?
No. It is designed for plug-and-play use, so you should be able to insert two AAA batteries and start controlling the TV without pairing.
Does the Disney+ button always work?
Disney+ may not function on Samsung TVs manufactured before 2022. If Disney+ shortcut control is important for you, it is worth confirming your TV’s year before purchase.
What type of remote is it, infrared or Bluetooth?
This is an infrared (IR) remote. IR remotes generally work best with line-of-sight pointing toward the TV, and it has a stated range up to 45 ft.
What batteries does it use?
It requires two AAA batteries (not included).
How long do the batteries last?
It has an ultra-low-power design with up to about 6 months of standby time depending on usage, so real-world battery life will vary by how often you use the remote.
